Britain. has issued an appeal to
lovers OF classic Greece TO aid In the
restoration of st. Peters Castle, in
Budrum. on the Anatolian coast. a
relic of crusading times, which was
injured during the world war. st.
Peters was erected in 1402 within
the shadow of the great mausoleum
of Halicarnassus, for the present
Mohammedan city of Budrum covers
the site of the ancient Greek port
to, be the seat of authority OF the
Knights of st. John of Jerusalem, who
no removed from Rhodes. The
caWle survived the passing centuries $
In perfect condition. but being seized
by the Germans during the world
war and used as a base OF supplies
for submarines, it was shelled by
ceived considerable injury.
Sir William Bull. whose knightly
association is to perpetuate the deeds
of the old orders of chivalry and
whose principal aim Is to keep their
historic, buildings intact, has esti-
mated that is will require something
less than $4,000 to restore st. Peters
Castle and about twice that amount
to insure an annual sum to be de-
voted to keeping 1t in repair. He
makes an eloquent commentary on
the worthiness of medieval building
when the most powerful OF modern
guns were trained for months on this
5O0-year fortress and succeeded only
In demolishing some ornamental
cornices and turrets and did not pene-
trate the walls at any point.
Another notable restoration. news
of which comes from London, is that
of the fourteenth century Chantry
House at Henley on the Thames,
which for more than half a century
has been run as an annex of the
Red Lion Inn. The city father of
Henley on -the-Thames, mindful of
the crowds which fill its every nook
and corner in regatta days, concluded
that an inn offered more solid ad-
vantage to the city than an ancient
chantry, in which hymns of by-gone
days would be a feature. But the
late Canon ]. r. Maui, rector of the
Henley Church. left a tidy fortune to
be devoted TO repurchasing the chan
try, refurnishing 1t and restoring 1t
to its devotional purposes. An ener-
getic executive, Sir Charles Nichol-
son. who is an artist and architect.
brought sufficient pressure to cause
the city council to sell and with the
to the Red Lion. The work has al
ready begin. and the chantry house.
IT is hoped. will be completed and
ready for use at Christmas. The old
plain chant and the hymns of the
rudest construction in Saxon times
no doubt many visitors will journey
up the Thames to Henley to hear
the earliest British devotional music
and when racing Is in progress on the
river will in between times enjoy a
rare treat.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN TO
BE PUSHED THIS WEEK

COLUMBUS, April 17.-Activities
in the Cleanup and Faint-Up Cam
paign will be pushed this week and
it is believed by the sponsors that
many citizens will busy themselves
in cleaning up and painting up their
premises.
The city government, through the
departments especially interested in
having the city clean and free of rub
bish, such as the health and fire de-
partments are cooperating in every
way and the officials and employees of
the city will no doubt do much in the
next few weeks to give the sponsors
of the campaign assistance that will
prove invaluable.
The cleanup and paint-up cam
paign is one in which every man,
woman and child can and should have
a part. Every stagnant pool done
away with, every piece of rubbish re-
moved and every building painted
adds that much to the success of the
campaign.
Civic boosters are much interested
in the campaign as all well wishers
of Columbus want to see the city pre-
sent "spick and span" appearance.
