FIT. FREDERICK BASTION
TO BE RECONSTRUCTED
Preliminary Work On New Pro-
ject at Historic Site Nears End

The work of restoring old Fort
Frederick's massive walls completed,
CCC workers have turned their atten-
ton to restoring the interior of the
fortress to its original appearance at
the time it was populated with Colonial
soldiers before the Revolutionary
War.
The National Park service an
nounced that the preliminary work for
restoration of bastion will be COM
pleted within week and actual oper-
alton will get under way at once.
The work of restoring the walls has
been done by CCC youths, working
under joint supervision of the Federal
Park forces and the Maryland De-
partment of Forestry. The replace
ment of earth entertainments in the
northwest bastion, a portion to be
reconstructed completely in accord
ance with historical researches, is now
under way. Stone facings of the walls
have been repaired to prevent further
disintegration, but the ancient para
pets will remain broken and uneven to
recreate an atmosphere of the past.
Plans for restoring the bastion, one
of four at the fort, provide for an
earthen gun mount 16 feet wide,
reaching within four feet six inches
of the top of the wall. The mount
will be gained by two ramps 10 feet
wide, which will flank a wooden cat
walk, or firing platform.
The platform will be extended along
a section of the 1S0-foot long curtain
wall which leads to the southwest bas-
ton, the CCC workers using the same
joist holes fashioned in the sand
stone blocks by Governor Horatio
Sharpe's masons during construction
of the quadrangular fortress in 1856.
George Washington was visitor
at the fortress during construction
and while it was garrisoned by 200
men under Capt. Eli Gagworthy. A
force remained in the stronghold until
the close of the French and Indian
War in 1853 and it was reoccupied by
the Colonials during the Revolutionary
War, when it served as prison. More
than 1000 Hessian mercenaries were
held there at one time during 1880.
Plans for restoring the historic
structure and preserving it as a nota-
BILE example of Colonial fortifca-
tions did not become effective until late
in 1884 through application to the Fed
eral Emergency Conservation Work
funds, although the State of Maryland
had reacquired the fort in 1922.
The type of restoration work car
ried out by the CCC youths is similar
to that done by the Canadian Histor-
ical Sites and Monuments Board and
has been examined and endorsed by
DR.. Stanley Pargellis, of Yale Univer-
sity, leading authority of the United
States on campaigns and Notifications
of the French and Indian War.

CHURCHES HERE
 PLAN MISSIONS
Mass Meetings to Open at St. Johns Sunday,
 October 4

The National Preaching Mission under the auspices of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in American is now in full swing. These Missions started September the 18th and will continue through December the 9th covering twenty five major cities in America.
 A team of about fifteen known interpreters of the Christian Gospel will spend about four days in each of these leading centers. On De- cenber the 5th the preaching mis- sion for the State of Connecticut will be held either in Waterbury or Hartford. The details are now being arranged.
 The Preaching Mission is a united attempt on the part of the church. eS to bring about 6 spiritual awak- ening in America. It rests on the conviction that nothing is so iln- portant as to build stronger foun- dations of Christian faith and lives in the nation.
 Part of the very comprehensive plan calls for . mission in each community under local leadership. The Waterbury Council plans to cooperate and has arranged Q series of Union mass meetings to be held on the first Sunday night of each month during the fall and winter. The schedule follows:
 \ October 4th, St. Johns Episcopal Church, pr. McKenny.
 November 1st-Second Congfega- tional Church, Mayor McLevy,
 December 9th, First Baptist Church, Dr. John c. Walker.
 January 3rd, First Congregational Church, Dev. David c. Gaines.

 It has become evident that Hit Ter not only regards Communism as the arch enemy of Nazism, but also hungrily eyes the sparsely set- tied stretches of West Russia as 8 safety valve for Germany's popula- tion congestion. Only in Western Russia can Hitler find an area where clearing out the inhabitants and replacing them with German settlers would help realize his dream of the Fatherland as a great inland power.

guagc. About her need of Afri- can colonies, she is more out- spoken. She claims she wants colonies for three reasons: pres tige, strategic positions, room for Germany's growing population.
 The Nazis have talked a lot about prestige; that a great pow CT, for it's own honor, simply must have colonies and take up part of the white mans burden. In Europe opposition writers have pointed out that the. United States is quite rightly considered one of the worlds greatest powers, yet 1t has never deemed 1t necessary for its prestige and its honor to go into the game of colony-grabbing.
 European military writers, other than Germans, write that the stra- tegic value of Tanganyika and South West Africa would be small to Germany. As bases for 8 hop to the colonial possessions of other European powers in Africa, they would not materially affect the main issue in a European war.
 Finally comes the claim that Germany needs colonies to which her excess population can emi- grate and find a home under the German flag. European statesmen, who scoff at this, point out that is excess population is troubling Germany, the Nazi masters should encourage smaller families. In- stead, they have subsidized young people into marriage and subsi- dized, further, those who have many hahies

countries turned into a devastat- ed highway for German troops. Lithuania already has quarreled with Germany over alleged mis- treatment of Nazis in Memel and the Hitler frown has been direc- ted toward hatvia over the laws she passed suppressing German trade guilds. Poland, although she has flirted with Hitler, seems safely back in the French fold, possibly having in mind the known German ambition to erase the Polish corridor and reunite Germany proper with war-am putated East Prussia.
 Even little Denmark tremb1es at the land-hungry light in Hit ler's eyes,. fearing that he will gobble up the rich farmlaIlds of North Schleswlg, Denrnark's sole remaining piece of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein which were grabbed from her by pow- erful Prussia in 1864. Martyred Belgium not only remembers the horrors of the last German inva- sion, but fears that Hitler may be hungry enough to snatch back such tiny territorial crumbs as Eupen and Malmedy, bits of Bel- gian land formerly within pre- war Germany.
