Ark. - (UPB - The thin mountain air was hushed with the expectancy ol an Ozark evening turning to night. Then the deep boom of bells sounded from the tower of the sandstone monastery on the hill. For more than 85 years, the bells have called priests and brothers of the Order of St. Benedict to hours of prayer, work and study. Since New Subiaco Abbey was founded In 1878, the cluster of red roofed buildings has been a world of its own to its inhabi tants. Hundreds of monks have walked the cool, dim hallways of the quiet monastery in prayerful meditation. Rule Prasctlbad Following rules prescribed by their order's founder, si. Benedict, who established his first monastery at Subiaco, Italy, early in the sixth cen tury, the monks have had lit tle contact with the ouUide world. , In the lush fields of the Abbey's 1.500 acres, brothers planted, tended and harvested crops for their tables. Their saw mill sliced lumber for buildings and repairs; from their stone quarry they carved native sandstone for further expansion. Their dairy and beef cattle yielded milk, cheese and fine beef for their kitchens; hog and poultry stock provided pork, eggs and meals of chicken. In the shadow of the four story, quadrangle-shaped main building, the Benedictine priests taught boys and young men in the Abbey Academy, or high school, and in the Scholasticate for seminarians, Small Numbers Until now, visitors have come to the monastery in small numbers - mainly fami lies ot monks and students. "From now on, we will be able to offer more people the opportunity for a rewarding viait to the Abbey, plus the NEW PIPE - No matter how many pipes Dad has, he al ways welcomes a new one, especially as a gift from son. Hobbyists Olfer No Gilt Problem Futhers and grandfathers who "ride a hobby" offer no problem when It comes to shopping for Father's day gifts.

Philatelists are among the most abject slaves to their fa vorite pastime. Key your gifts to their specialty. It may be historic issues, rare Imprints, "covers" or one of the hun dreds of other types of collec tions. Albums and accessories are good gifts for stamp col lectors. Coins, both ancient and modern, hold an equal fasci nation for collectors with a bent in that direction. Rare mints, ancients, commemora tives, dates series and even historic medals find places In the hearts of numismatists. These collectors also hsve their albums, catalogues and books relating to their hobby a well as special mounting boards on which to display their treasures. Hi-fi fans are apt to be found In a maze of woofers, tweeters, rectifiers, turntables and pickups. They are always In need of other parts and cer tainly appreciate gifts of their favorite recordings. Of course, there are many other hobbies, one" of which may be your Dad's or Granddad's. comforts of modern lodgings, said the Rt. Rev. Abbot Mi chael Lensing, O.S.B., head of the monastery and presi dent of the Subiaco Academy for Boys. A modern, $500,000 retreat and guest house cradled on the side of the abbey hill was dedicated April 28, climaxing more than two years con struction work and "many years of dreams," Father Mi chael said. The 40-room build ing will accommodate targe retreat groups as well as rela tives and friends. The guest house, named for Miami, Fla., patron George Coury, was constructed, like other abbey buildings, of sandstone, native oak and pine timber taken from sur rounding acres. Benedictine brothers worked side by side with construction men to get the job done. Oldest In South Subiaco Abbey, one of about 275 Benedictine- rrsor.a: terics in the world and the oldest one in the Deep South, boasts one of the most modern churches in the Arkansas dio cese. Consecrated In April, 1950, the huge church is the tocale point in the lives of the abbey's a p p r o x I mately 60 priests, 30 brothers, 300 stu I dents and seminarians and half-dozen sisters. One enters the church through tall oak doors and is confronted by a view of a huge crucifix suspended over a marble altar. The gleaming cross hangs from a dome shaped canopy covered with gold leaf and supported by four. 16-foot pillars of Bot ticlno marble from Germany. Immediately behind the main altar are choir stalls -40 on each side of the Sacris ty, facing each other - where the priests sit to chant back and forth during services. The church has 18 altars, a chapel j for the Abbot and another for the brothers. ten. -i, ' y ri e f , .JJ &ttf- - I MAKES TRAY - Do-it-herself gift by daughter to Dad is the tray which she has decorated with old playing cards, pro tected by three coats of clear varnish. Congress Asked To Add Funds for Oregon Projects Washington -0rpn A spokes man for Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield has asked that Con gress add (721,000 to Presi dent Kennedy's budget for navigation projects in Oregon. Thomas J. Murray, port consultant to the state, made the request during a brief ap pearance before the House Public Works Appropriations subcommittee. He said Hatfield supported budgeted navigation projects totaling $4,311,000, but also recommended addition of funds for seven projects. The additions would include $545,000 for a deeper naviga tion channel in the Coos and Millicoma rivers, which Mur ray said would result in big savings to lumber mill oper ators. Would Speed Projects Murray said approval of planning funds for a project to deepen the Willamette riv er and to resume planning on the Willamette River Falls lock project would expedite construction of the authorized projects. The amounts re quested for the two projects were $46,000 and $85,000. Other additions requested by Oregon officials included: -$2,000 to begin a review study for a barge channel and protective works where Her man creek enters the Colum bia river. -$19,000 to begin planning of a barge channel at Colum bia Slough. -$3,000. to begin a review study of the Charleston small boat basin. -$21,000 to plan modifica tion of bar and channel depths on the Siuslaw river and bar.
