Ode to Fishermen
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. = Every
morning at four o'clock a squadron
of big trucks leaves New York and
heads up toward West Point. Those
trucks are heavily guarded. They
have machine guns and rifles and
revolvers. And if you get in the
way of one, or attempt, even inno-

For they are filled with silver
that the government is removing to
West Point for safe keeping. Just
as the gold is now being stored in
a vault in Kentucky. The contract
is for million bars to be trans
ferred. And each bar weighs IS
pounds. Under the present setup
they are moving 5000 bars a day.
These operations are under the
supervision of the Federal Coast

CATION had moved to its present site

The church building is widely noted

lows the plan of the Church of the

Emperor Constantine in the year 32s
A. D. over the spot in Bethlehem where

torical setting by appearing without
vestments.
The Thursday meeting begins with
dinner at o'clock. "reminiscences
Of longtime members will furnish the
program and special musical numbers
will be rendered.
Among the "reminiscences being re-
vived are those of Gen. o. o. Howard,
distinguished member of the church,
and one who led in the founding of
Howard University, which had its in
ception in a prayer service of this
church. Gen. Howard was the uni
versity's first president and two min
listers of First Church later became
his successors in the presidency. An
other distinguished member was JUS
tice David j. Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court. The late Pres
ident Calvin Coolidge began to at
tend this church when he was Vice
President and on taking the oath of
Office as President also united with
the church This was the only church
to which he ever belonged Prob
ably the most distinguished living
member Of the church is DR.. Charles
Greeley Abbot, secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution. Two charter men,
bers, Miss Mary L. Robinson and Mrs.
Sarah N. Eastman, are still active
Events which First Church members
recall with pride are: In October of
1865 a committee of 18 male members
of the church called upon President
Johnson and petitioned him to appoint
a national day of Thanksgiving and
prayer. President Lincoln had once
or twice appointed days of thanksgiv-
ing for special occasions, but this COM
nittee asked for yearly observance.
President johnson granted the request
and the national celebration was thus
instigated by the Congregationalists
of Washington. In 1889 mass meet
ing of authors was held in the church.
This gathering, attended by Bancroft,
Twain and Riley. among many others,
led to the writing of the international
copyright law.
The present building at Tenth and G
streets NV. was 70 years old last May
A campaign for a new building was
held some years ago. with the result
about 100000 is held in a building
fund. and the church definitely in
tends to build new edifice, either
upon the present site or upon another
central location.
