Down the Mall, which lies be

the National Gallery of Art and

who have very little time usual

pictures of relatives backed by
imposing buildings.
There are many sights and ex

cost the visitor not a sou. For
the musically inclined there are
frequent evening band concerts
during the summer on the Capi

One can see whole groups hav

Others stand transfixed before
some famous or obscure figure.
Each state is allowed two stat

chosen, these statues cannot be
replaced. There was a brief
flurry over Oklahoma's request
to substitute the late benator
Robert Kerr for one of theirs.
Nothing came of is. Some one

Still, when I reflect on how puz-

There are, of course, very

There are a surprising number

Civil War
Theme of
Fall Dinner
ASHLAND - Civil War times
were made realistic for more
than a hundred persons who at'
tended the first fall Fellowship
a inner at the Christian church
September 19.
Under the direction of Elton
Petri a program of patriotic mu
sic and stirring speeches
brought to a finale the year
long centennial observance. A
realistic climax came with the
appearance of Abraham Lin
coln, familiar tall stove-pipe bea
ver hat and all, a role played
by Arthur Youngs.
As a background for the Civ
il War theme, the life and works
of Stephen Foster were given,
with a male trio singing sev
eral of his compositions and the
Rev. James Sinclair singing
Gentle Annie" as a solo. The
audience joined in "My Old
Kentucky Home."
Three excerpts from Carl
Sandburg's "Prairie Years"
were read by Mrs. Grace Flint
before Mr. Lincoln and a mili
tary aide (Warren Springer)
came to the platform where the
Gettysburg address was pre
sented. The audience rose as the
famous speech was given on a
record, remaining standing to
join in the singing of the "Bat
tle Hymn of the Republic" and
concluding the program with
the pledge of allegiance to the
flag.
An interesting feature of the
Fellowship meeting was an ex
hibit of Civil War mementos be
longing to various church mem
bers. Included were the instru
ments of George Andrews' sur
geon grandfather who became
a circuit rider in the northwest
following the war so that "he
might minister to men's souls

on display were war medals and
a diary belonging to Elton Pe

tients at the Siskiyou County
hospital. Further investigation
