ted to become guide unless he passes
an examination given by the National
Park Service All of the guides are
thoroughly familiar with the history
Of the Battle of Gettysburg.
There are two types of tours-the
regular tour" and the special tour"
The first covers from II to % miles
Of territory and requires not less than
one and one-half hours. For this
trip a fee Of SO Is charged. The 'spe-
cial tour" for which the fee is 81,
covers about II miles and takes less
than an hour and a half. All fees
are payable to the individual guide
who accompanies the party.
In case you prefer to drive around
the park without special guidance,
here are some friendly bits Of infor-
nation that might add to your con-
yenience and enjoyment:
In 1895 the battlefield Of Gettys-
burg was made q national park by
act Of Congress. In that year the
Gettysburg Battlefield Association,
which was founded a few months
after the battle, transferred its hold
ings of 900 acres of land, II miles of
paved roads and 800 monuments and
markers to the Federal Government.
This park was under Jurisdiction OF
the War Department until 1888, when
it was transferred to the Department
Of the Interior, to be administered by
the National Park Service. Today it
has been so expanded that it con-
tains 1880 acres Of land, IS miles OF
paved roads and more than 1000
monuments and markers.
The little farm house which served
as Meade's headquarters and also the
house where Lincoln prepared his
Gettysburg address has been restored
as has the entire area. in order to
preserve the historical continuity
Hence the roads built to accommodate
modern ways Of travel follow the main

Motor Trip Is Through Territory Which Has Occupied
Revered Place in History, and Is Noted Through
out for Landmarks of Nation

Early vegetables are coming along
nicely, such as tomatoes, peas and
beans; Spring wheat Is half a foot
high. A good many Of the buildings
have been given a fresh coat OF paint,
including the barns, whose tops, in
most instances, are now a bright red.
Even the fences, in a majority Of
cases, are newly whitewashed.
Slow down when nearing Gathers
burg. Here are some of the finest
flower gardens in the entire State.
Particularly noteworthy are the pink
and white poenies. Most of the front
yards are fringed by thick green
hedges and contain stately shade trees
and ornamental shrubs.
From now on your ride is refreshed
by a mountain breeze and you gain
an occasional glimpse streight ahead
OF the Cumberland Mountains. 1t Is
pleasant, indeed, to motor over the
gently rolling hills 1t is rather like
q roller coaster ride.
While crossing the Monocacy River
you learn bit Of history. A marker
designates the cite Of the Civil War
battle OF Monocacy. Pretty soon you
find yourself in Frederick, seat of
Frederick County. II you've never
visited this historic city, it's certainly
worth at least a half hours look
around. Among the major points OF
interest are Mount Olivet Cemetery,
Hood College for Women and the Bar
bara Frietchie House. All are easily
located, not far from the main high
way.
Henceforth you drive past many
tiny hamlets, most of them mere
specks on the landscape. Almost every
front yard, however small or humble
contains pink rambling roses, for
which this section Of Maryland is
justly proud.
Ease up on the accelerator when
passing through wee Catoctin. 1t Is
one Of the most picturesque places
in the entire Midsouth. with its minia-
ture log and stone cabins, every one
beautifully whitewashed and remi-
niscent OF days when grandpa was q
boy. Catoctin, incidentally, was i'm
portant during the Revolutionary War
as an ironmaking center for the Co.
lonial forces. II you keep your eyes
open you may catch a glimpse OF the
ancient furnace to the left OF the
highway.
Try to visit Emmitsburg for at least
few minutes. Take note especially
Of the stately gray stone buildings OF
Mount st. Mary's College. Drive
straight through the town. Just be-
yond 1t you cross the Pennsylvania
State line. A few minutes more, be
fore you're really expecting 1t, you find
yourself in Gettysburg.

THE present park was occupied by a
division OF the 11th Federal
Corps. Later it became the rallying
point for the Northern forces after
they had been driven from the field
during the encounter on July /, 1853.
The hill on which the cemetery Is To-
Gated formed an arc of huge fish
hook formation of the Northern battle
line. General Lee was commanding
Confederate force OF $4,000 men, but
the Union Army under General Meade
outnumbered this by more than l0,-
900 Lee lost 28o63 men against a
Federal loss OF 23,O49. Hundreds fell
while defending this particular hill,
little guessing that the very ground
upon which they were struggling
eventually would be their final rest
ing place.
sylvania Monument, dedicated to the
memory OF 34,500 soldiers of Penn
sylvania who participated in the cam
paign and battle. This beautiful me-
mortal, largest on the battlefield, was
erected by the Keystone State.
Best place from which to gain a
panoramic view Of the battlefield Is

vantage point you can view the sur

In blue and gray fought three-quar-

For a number of years various at
tempts have been made to bring to-
gether the surviving veterans Of the
War OF 186l-65 in a joint reunion
before these brave soldiers answer the
final summons. Next Summer this
reunion will become an actuality. A
special commission OF the State Of
Pennsylvania proposes to bring back
every surviving veteran to Gettysburg
for Today period, with all expenses
paid.
During the reunion there will be

There was little time left for the
Pan-American Building, because
stayed so long in the patio, which
brought memories OF the lovely la
goons Of Southern India. There were
the familiar trees, giant ferns. the
banana, the papaya. the breadfruit
plant, and the tapioca. And there
were screaming macaws, as brilliant
and bizarre As the parrots Of Travan-
core. When I looked cursorily at the
terra Gotta friezes surrounding the
court, I noticed that among the coats
Of arms Of the 81 republics, those of
Canada were included. I would like
to have the combined opinion OF Lord
Tweedsmuir, Sir Samuel Hoare and
Mr.. Anthony Eden on this point OF
etiquette.
After toiling up the steps to the
Lincoln Memorial, I stood back to
gaze at the reflection OF the Wash
ington Monument In the pool below,
and then I turned to the giant statue
Of Americas hero. That great figure

w YHAT motor trip within 100
M miles Of Washington offers
w wider variety than the one
to Gettysburg, Pa? Prob
ably none. Here Is a Sunday journey
that is sure to please the entire fam
lily. Dad will chuckle over the fact
that after Rockville Is passed, there's
not the slightest trace Of trafic nuis-
ance. And If he leaves the District
before 9 O'Clock tomorrow morning
his driving cares should be insignih-
cant. indeed.
Mother will enjoy the mountain
scenery between Gaithersburg and
Emmitsburg. The youngsters, If any,
will delight in visiting the innumer-
able tombs, shrines and monuments
OF the nations best known battlefield
park. And everybody, on a sizzling
day, will appreciate the refreshing
slap Of the cool mountain air against
their cheeks as they zoom along the
broad highway.
Gettysburg has a place in our his
tory which truly can be called unique
Its fame Is immortalized not only by
the heroic feats OF arms which were
performed there, but by Lincoln's ad-
dress = few months after the battle,
when he went to the Pennsylvania
city to dedicate a portion OF the field
as the burial ground Of those who fell
in the struggle. The words OF Hon
est Abe" have perpetuated in the
minds and hearts Of our people the
motives of those who fought and fell
at Gettysburg.
When planning your Journey bear
in mind that the distance from Wash
ington is only 7s miles. Nevertheless,
an early start is recommended. II
you take OF, for instance, at 8 O'Clock,
you will avoid traflc congestion and

hours. This will give you ample time
to see the main points Of interest well
