safest place one can be.

FORT FREDERICK TAKES ON
ITS PRISTINE ATMOSPHERE
Permanent Museum of Authentic
Colonial Relics Is Latest
Project In Restoration

Historic Fort Frederick, noted dur
ing the Revolutionary War as one of
the outstanding Colonial defense
points in point of size, is recapturing
some of its eighteenth century Sat
mosphere."
The latest project in the Federal and
State program for restoration of the
181-year-old pioneer outpost-a per-
manent museum of authentic relics and
pictorial groups-will be completed

The Park Service, which is cooperat-
ing with the State Department of For
estry and the Civilian Conservation
Corps in the reconstruction of the
fort, said the museum will include a
series of historical color sketches, in
dust-proof, illuminated display cases;
portraits, large perspective view of
the defenses as they appeared inithe
eighteenth century, and group selec-
lions from a total of 26S military and
domestic articles excavated during the
reconstruction work.
Some Of The Relics Listed
Among the latter articles is we'll
preserved Revolutionary War canteen,
siX-pounder cannon balls from the
forts guns, an early stone piow point
and many Indian and Colonial weap-
ons and implements.
A baby's spoon, woman's thimble,
and woman's silver finger ring are
among other significant relics of from
tier days, when the fort served as a
refuge for settlers families forced to
flee before Indian raids. g.
Most of the objects were found in
the foundations of barracks, officers
quarters and mess hall. The labelling
of relics and sketches and the lettering
of other explanatory texts are now
under way and will complete the muse

will not meet requirements and
will receive no benefits. An in
crease in the number Of SigncrS
was noted in 1897 over 1886 and
further increase is expected for
1888. Mr.. White explained that
those who signed work sheets for
1887 are automatically included
in the 1888 program.
Mr.. White declared that at least
half of the farmers Of the county
should be participating in the
plan. and he predicted that this
number would be reached in the
future. He explained that it took
time to explain the plan to the
farmers and gain their interest IN
the movement.
Under the 1888 plan, farmers
are given benefit payments for
staying within their soil depicting
goals, or are penalized if they cX-
cced these goals. Penalties range
from to 10 times their basic
acre payment, and any excessive
penalty usually is greater than the
total payment. The farmer does
not have to pay for the excess.
but it is charged against what he
would get if he maintained the
goals.
From the total payment on any
farm and the amount of soil con-
serving work done through crops
Il base is established thorugh cred
its The farmer must then match
this credit by soil conservation
work, which may be the use Of
legumcs. application of lime, ter
racing. or other work. If this
credit is matched there is no de-
duction. but if this credit is not
reached there is reduction in the
payment Of 50 per credit from the
total payment.
Since the average Henderson
county farm is l6 acres, and 20
acres is tho minimum under the
plan. most Henderson farmers will
come under the nO-farm classifi-
cation. which means that they will
be allowed to maintain their soil
depicting goals at the same figure
as in 1887.
