MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
Gothic Cathedra! Worthy of Visit
By RALPH VILLERS
United Frtu International
Cologne-OIPHf Cologne, no
badly damaged during World
War II, had not been rebuilt,
and all its hundreds of thou
sands of inhabitants had
moved away, the site still
would offer one of the most
rewarding visits possible any
where in the world.
The reason simply: Cologne
cathedral.
This overwhelming Gothic
structure was started in 1248
when Cologne was a northern
crossroads for Jerusalem
bound pilgrims.
Almost miraculously, it es
caped with what could be de
scribed as minor damage con
sidering that the area about
it was about 93 per cent de
stroyed during the wartime
bombings.
The cathedral with its twin,
MO-foot spires, pokes above
the city and into view long
before you arrive at city cen
ter by train. But even the pre
view is deceptive, especially
stepping out of the Central
Railroad station unprepared
for the massive monument to
Cologne's long religious tradi
tion. Restoration
Restoration work inside
and outside the cathedral has
been going on since the war.
But an impression of damage
still remains on an outside
front corner, where the mas
sive and richly carved slone
has not been - and may never
be - replaced.
Inside, bland replacements
mark destroyed stained glass
windows, but fortunately
more were saved than lost
and the richness of the blues,
greens and deep reds filter
the outside light Into a stale
of reverent beauty.
Part of the inspiralinn to
start the cathedral in the
Thirteenth century - and to
continue building until 1880
. -was the city's devotion to
what are believed the remains
of the Three Magi, brought
here from Milun in 1104, and
now contained in a rich gold
and silver casket in a shrine
behind the high altar.
The central, and possibly
most beautiful, of the stained
glass windows recounts the
worship of the Three Kings
In medieval hues.
In the Chaprl of the Cross
Is found the Gero crucifix,
which dates from about 970.
and is the oldest inlact carved
cruifix north of the Alps.
The cathedral stands in the
shape of a giant cross, with
the vaulted inside ceiling ris
ing 140 feet ahnvc the fine,
small mosaic work of the
floor. Yet for its 4H8 feet in
terior length (one-and-a-half
times the length of a football
field), the view up the center
aisle gives the appearance of
a narrow little church.
It's virtually impossible to
capture the entire cathedral's
front on film without going
blocks away. It is hemmed in
by the buildings around. One
of the best perspective views
of the famed cathedral is a
short walk across the rail
road bridge to the other side
of the Rhine river. There from
the river-facing fair grounds,
the truly majestic beauty of
Cologne cathedral falls into
focus.
Cologne is a city of many
old churches, but It also is
one of the most ultra-modern
cities to be found. From the
ruhhle rose glass, sleel, and
marble tributes to a reborn
city. An example is the Gcr
ling Concern, the office of
a large insurance company,
a five-storied, marble-walled
building looking like a mod
ern palace with its spouting
fountains.
For all ils modernism anrl
the contrasting Gothic of the
cathedral, Cologne is an an
rient city, dating from the
times of Roman military oc
cupation. Most impressive of
its Roman reminders is a
sprawling mosaic floor, uncov
ered near the cathedral while
a bomb shelter was being dug
in 1942. Now restored, the
mosaic is the central attrac
tion of the Dionysian museum.
The work depicts oysters,
fowl and other foods, leading
to belief the mosaic once
formed the dining room in
the home of a wealthy Roman.

Original Copy of
Constitution Has
Many Revisions
Philadelphia - ll'PD - In ap
pearance, the original draft
of the U. S. Constitution,
written here during the sum
mer of 1787, could easily pass
for schoolboy's term paper.
Words, sentences and para
graphs are crossed out and
reworked and new ideas are
scrawled in the margins,
marked with asterisks. Hand
written on seven sheets of
legal-sized paper, the original
document still is legible de
spile the many corrections
and long sentences squeezed
on single lines.
The original is referred to
as the James Wilson draft
after the Philadelphia lawyer
who put it on paper. Insured
for $500,000, the composition
is on exhibit at the Pennsyl
vania Historical society.
It has never left this city.
although the final draft of
the precious document is kept
in a helium-filled, glass-covered
case in Washinglon.
Preatrbl Is Exampl
The preamble of the origi
nal exemplifies the extensive
revision undertaken by the
framers.
It begins-with, "The people
of the Stales of . . ." followed
by the names of the original
13 stales.
This subsequently was
changed lo read, "The people
of Ihe United Slates do agree
Male Modesty Hurt
By Hospital Gown
By WALTER LOGAN
United Press International
New York-(UPI)-One ar
ticle of men's wear that
doesn't seem to have changed
since the days of Florence
Nightingale is a mortifying lit-i
lie garment the nurses call a I
"Johnny coat," a sort of j
shorty nightgown.
It is white and probably
made of sackcloth to make the
patient realize the helpless
ness of his predicament and
the futility of flight should
he change his mind about go
ing through what the doctors
call "minor" surgery.
For the record, it has short,
raglan sleeves and what is
called a crew collar or maybe
a T-square neckline. There it
drops any prelense at style
unless one is fond of a plung
ing back neckline one that
plunges all the way.
It is fastened with two ties,
one at the back of the neck,
the other on the level of the
shoulder blades. From there
upon . . .
But "agree upon" was
crossed out and "ordain" was
inserted. "Ordain" still appar
ently wasn't the right word,
so "declare" was tried.
"Declare" was right either
and the result was "establish."
Then someone inserted
"We" at the beginning with
a little arrow pointing up to
it. The completed paragraph,
which has stood the test of
time ever since, begins: "We.
the people of the United
States . . ."
Much the same pattern fol
lows through all seven articles.
it falls gracefully in what the
ladies call an "A" line in an
ever increasing split which
means the nether regions are
never quite covered.
Aid Is Necessary
Embarrassingly, it is im
possible to don one of these
nighties without aid the
ties cannot be reached no mat
ter how desperately one tries
and in the end one is forced
to slide backwards toward a
waiting and unblushing nurse
who lies things up.
The length is more fash
ionably short than the new
raincoats which come above
the knees and are all right if
you don't mind wet legs.
These come well above the
knees.
Wearing such an abomina
tion with any degree of mod
esty is an art. By taking tiny
steps, slaying out of- drafts
and reaching around and
clutching it together behind
you you can close most of
the gaps.
This was in St. Clare's hos
pital where Ihcy take injured
rodeo riders and hockey play
ers from nearby Madison
Square garden. So next time
you read of one of them in
trouble give them your sym
pathy. They'll be in Johnny
coats - - and a lot of the play
er's are better than six feet
tall.
Hospital Gear
A few tips on what In take
with you to a hospital: a
mirror to go with an electric
razor so you can lie back in
bed and shave in luxury . . .
Several sets of drip dry pa
jamas which can be rinsed out
overnight and substituted for
Johnny coats . . . Backless
houseslippers (mules) so you
can reach down from the as
tronomical height of your
bed and stick your toes into
them without having to bend
over ... A washable bath-1 many men's sweaters and
robe since people spill a lot of sportswear next tan. i ney are
thinas in hospitals . . . and 'believed to be worn by many
leave your modesty behind.
Another facet of hospital
life is the Ben
line, which is
Casey neck
featured in
surgeons but surgeons only
stare in horror if you ask.
Nurses say some do and som
don't.
