Visit to St Paul's Cathedral Discussed by Grants Pass Man (Editor's nottt This Is another in a series of dis pitchts rem Charles (Chuck) A. Moor. Jr.. Grants Pais. A farmer Mad ford resident, Moore is now in London in connection with the Lewis and Clark college Experiment in Inter national Living.) By CHARLES A. MOORE Feb. 22: At the evening meal. Miss Scldon produced, much to my surprise, a "Hap py Birthday, Chuck" cake. It is a traditional English fruit cake clothed in a soft blue icing. The cake was delicious, and judging from its size, will continue to be Just as delicious throughout the home stay. As birthday presents, the Seldons presented two map and 'guide books of London. In the evening, a friend of the Seldons arrived from Worthing for the week end to discuss with Mr. Seldon their planned journey to Russia. Mr. Seldon had received can cellation notice of the tour just that morning. . In the course of. conversa tion; I found the man, John Chirgwin, had an uncle in America. In fact, to quote Chirgwin, he lives in "a small Oregon town called Medford. He immigrated to America around 1908 and later became an American citizen." So to Mr. H. S. Chirgwin of 23 Corning Court, Medford, comes a hello from the John Chirgwin family of Worthins. Feb. 23: Doug and I spent the afternoon at the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. More than a mere cource in Italian Renaissance painting will be needed to make me like those paintings. Meal time is great. Pick up the fork with the left, the knife with the right. Then for get they are there, for there they will stay for most of the meal. Next comes the intrica cies of transporting the York shire pudding, toad - in - thc hole, or whatever to the moi'.h. That which can be jabbed, jab. That which can not be jabbed must be pushed onto the back of the fork with the knife. Peas and small tid bits are an exception. For these the fork in inverted. The morsels are then pushed into the hollow. If the fork does not contain' pudding, meat, potatoes,' carrots, peas, and apple sauce It is just not an acceptable bite. Medford PAGES 1 to 10 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1963 Feb. 23: Sunshine is making this a perfect day to go into London proper. At the bottom of the road, I caught a 17? Red Line bus. Tl e view from the top deck is tremendous if you can- see through the smoke. Four things stand out in my memories of St. Paul's Cathe dral. First is the majesty of the great doors with the paintings depicting the life of the Saint high above our heads. Second is the whispering gallery. Here, immediately be low the dome and 100 feet from the cathedral floor, the guide's voice on the opposite side (107 feet away) is per fectly audible, although he may be only whispering, i Speaking with his face to the wall, his voice travels along the smooth circular surface. My third vivid memory is of the small dome which sup ports the Ball and Cross above the lantern. This dome is cylin drical (about 5 feet in height and 3 feet in diameter) and enclosed with meshed wire. From here, 365 feet above the city of London is a wonderful view. . Christopher Wren, the re markable architect who de signed and built the cathedral from 1675 to 1710, made one great error. He forgot to in clude a lift. Instead, there are 519 climbing steps and two long ladders from the ground floor to the last gallery. They are almost all circular. Last I will mention the crypt and monuments. Throughout the cathedral are beautiful m o n u ments and tombs including such notable names as John Donne, Lord Nelson, and Christopher Wren; but the most striking monument of all is one in the crypt. It is a bust of George Washington, American presi dent. For this I could stand to hear an explanation. I walked to the Tower of London. It Is in reality not a tower but a collection of towers joined by walls and surrounded by a high fortress wall. Within these walls one can view the crown jewels, see an inexhaustible supply of ancient armour and listen to the beefeaters in their nar ratives about some of Eng land's greatest politicians who met their deaths within its confines. Then there are the tower ravens. According to super stition, if these birds are ever lost or fly away, tho crown will fall, and Britain with It. Throughout World War II one solitary raven kept post at the tower. As a result, England has been brought to her se curest position. Getting an edge on fate, the authorities clipped the wings of the ravens. Never will Britain fall, because the birds are un able to fly. Commtfes Vofes Down Raises for Officials Salem -OJPB Suggested sal ary Increases for the secretary of state and state treasurer were rejected Tuesday by the Ways and Means committee. The proposal would have raised salaries of the two offi cials from $15,000 to $17,500. The committee approved a series of budgets, including $10 million for the state po lice. It provides for 18 new positions.
