Colonial Williamsburg Restored In
Authentic Reproduction, Speaker Says

iamsburg, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
whose vision and support made the
restoration possible.
Work of Experts
For over 10 years experts in many
fields have labored to restore Will
iamsburg to its former beauty. Ar
chitects and research workers here
and abroad have been called upon to
duplicate and restore colonial build
ings of the early era. During this
period 265 colonial buildings have
been carefully restored and recon-
structed and over $40 non-colonial
buildings have been demolished.
Certain representative buildings
have been completely refurnished in
18th century style and opened to the
public. Private residences and gard
ems, restored and reconstructed, FUR
nish a gracious setting for this living
community. The reconstruction has
been both physical and of the spirit,
as visitors point out that the COM
munity fairly breathes with the ele-
gance and early charm of the colonial
period.
Historic Buildings
One can see the same historic
buildings, colonial gardens, authentic
interiors, the old court house, mu-
seums of early crafts, old taverns, the
capitol, the governors palace and
countless other places of historic in
terest.
This with people in colonial cos
tunes and with real colonial stage
coaches furnishing the transportation
one is enabled to catch the charm and
beauty of the graceful living of the
colonial era, the speaker pointed out.

Restoration of 265 Colonial
Buildings Made at Former
Capital of Virginia
Costumed Hostesses, Stage
Coaches, Liveried Attend
ants Give Reality

Colonial Williamsburg, as probably
the outstanding restoration of an early
New England city in America, was
described to the students of Bluff
ton High school at special assembly
meeting addressed by Carl Koeppen,
interior decorator, at the high school
auditorium Thursday morning. Keep
pen was in Bluffton last week assist
ing in the 50th anniversary celebra-
ton of Steinman Bros. Lumber Co.
williamsburg is located in eastern
Virginia between jamestown and
Yorktown and at one time ranked
with Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia as a center of colonial culture,
politics and commerce. From 1899
to 1779 Williamsburg was the capital
of the largest and most populous of
the English colonies.
Buildings Restored
Hundreds of public buildings and
residences have been restored and re-
constructed in authentic reproduction
of the great colonial center. Keep
pen assisted in the interior decoration
of many of the structures.
Every detail of the city has been
restored with painstaking fidelity to
its former state of classic beauty.
One almost steps into another age,
the illusion is so complete. The res
toration however, is much more than
physical. The gracious costumed
hostesses and liveried attendants, the
picturesque craftsmen working at
their benches as of old, the colonial
homes and gardens transport a per-
son to another world.
Was Capitol
When Williamsburg was the capitol
all of Virginia's illustrious figures
could be seen strolling the streets,
Washington, jefferson, Patrick Henry,
George Mason, the Lees the Ran
dolphs, Madison, Monroe, John Mar
shall and many others whose names
have made American history.
For a century and a half after
Richmond was made capital, Will
iamsburg dreamed in the haze of
ancient glories. One by one its
proud buildings yielded to the relent-
less wear of time. A few more years
and it might have been a forgotten
town. Then, in the year 1926, came
about the happy meeting of two men,
DIR. w. A. r. Goodwin, rector of Bru-
ton Parish church, who had long
cherished a plan for restoring Will.

''Travel Light Advice To Draftees
When Leaving For Army Training

"Travel light. Take nothing but
essentials. And you'll save yourself
a lot of Inconvenience.
This is the advice given by Lieut..
Col. C. w. Goble, State Director of
Selective Service, to men selected for
military training who are preparing
to leave for army induction stations.
Director Goble said that one suit

"Put them all in one suitcase" he
advised, "and do not take along bags,
boxes and loose articles, or you only
will be causing a lot of inconvenience
for yourself and others while you
are on your way to the induction
station and afterwards"
Unnecessary articles taken to in
duction centers, together with any
prohibited by military regulations,
must be returned to his home by the
selectee at his own expense or other

There are many ways in which a
community can be of assistance to its
college, was the sum and substance
of prize winning essay in a contest
designed to foster closer relationships
between the community and Bluffton
college.
Two separate contests were held
one concerning what the college can
do for the community, the other as to
what the community can do for the
college. The winning essay will be
read at the Bluffton college Booster
banquet to be held in several weeks.
Winners in the former contest
were: Mary Louise Poe, Keith Plank,
Lena Boyer and Edmund Zehr. The
winner of the latter contest was Del
vim Kirchofer, of South Jackson
street, whose winning essay follows:

ed Dan Scott the local farmer to the
veteran Bluffton grocer, Grant Mar

provisions and had stopped to chat

I've given them money and I'd be
glad to give them more if had it.

competition in my business and my

"What other ways are there of as

Mr.. Beck smiled his appreciation o.
their interest and said: "Both o.

Scott" Most towns of this size lacl

Allen Farmers OIUn
FeIUer Horses NOIU


Horses and mules are losing out
to tractors in Allen county, accord
ing to latest reports of the census
bureau.
Fewer horses and mules were re-
ported in 1910 than in 1880, the re-
port shows. Last year Allen county
farmers owned 4,796 horses and
mules as compared with a figure of
6,049 in 1880.
The trend also was reflected in
the state as whole. In 1880 the
state reported 522,911 animals, and
only 447,052 last year.
With the recent addition of Col
orado, seven entire states now are

cultural commodities. The other six
are Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Wash

SIAMESE SENATORS

Those inside the White House
read this vehement declaration in
the Sunpaper and smiled.

separated about as much as Sia-

In other words the fact that Sen
ator Radcliffe >advertises through
the Baltimore Sun that he is the
man who wants to get job for
Truman Cash is not going to have
any particular weight around Wash
ington. The White House remem-
bers all too we'll that shortly after
the campaign last fall Mr.. Cash
came with his hand out seeking in
.surance in connection with the De
fense Program. The White House
also recalls that during the election
Cash did next to nothing to pro-
mote the Presidents campaign and
virtually all the money was raised
by Preston Lane.
Meanwhile anyone who inquiries
lat the Treasury Department will
find that both Gil Daley and Hamp-
ton Magruder. Collector of Internal
Revenue, are rated as among the
Treasury's most efficient public
servants And it will take both a
major earthquake and more than
protestati0ns that Radcliffe is no

Sunday Louis O'Donneu, political
