THE POETS CORNER
DECORATION DAY"

Decoration Day will soon be here
And we will 60 once more
To place sweet flowers on the graves
Of our loved ones gone before.
And though we do not seem to grieve
AS we did in days gone by
They are treasured still within our hearts
And will be till we die.
1t is decreed life must go on
And time will dull the pain
But until the day we meet again
Our lives wont be the same.
So with deepest reverence and respect
For each relative and friend
We place our flowers on the grave
Forgetting not to send
A word of two of silent prayer
To our Father up above
For our loved ones who have gone before
And the dear ones that we love.
Composed by Minnie Ross Mackie

Profanity is ignorance in the
act of exploding.
God could not be everywhere
therefore He made mothers.
l can't figure how a fellow
who flunked geometry could
pick out a girl with so many
curves.
A person should be ashamed
to die until he has won some
victory for humanity.
Back of every great man there
is a good mother.
It's pretty hard for anybody
you don't like to do anything
right.
A man who has the right to
boast seldom does
Unforgiveness keeps many a
prayer from being answered.

Gaping
the CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

SoLOMbO - Lucy IdluWell,
one of Columbus best known
people, came to Caldwell as a
bride in 1904.
At my request, Lucy recently
retold this portion of her life
past chapter which she declared
she had not considered for years.
The name "Caldwell'' brought
this southern woman to Ohio. She
lived in Atlanta, Ga, and after
her fathers death, Lucy went to
go to Chattanooga, Tenn, to find
a job.
A male cousin went to the At
lanta depot with Lucy and her
| widowed mother.
why 60 to Chattanooga" he
asked. There's Charley Cald-
we'll in Caldwell, O.. who runs
a hardware store. He'll give you
; a job. I've been writing to him.
I found his name in Dun & Brad
street. l thought we might be re-
lated. But we're not. So why
| don't you go to Ohio?"
Lucy said she knew her cousin
was kidding, so she kidded right
back: Have him write to me in
! Chattanooga"
Charley did, and they CORE
sponded for six months. The let
ters became so interesting that
Charley left Caldwell and ar
rived in Chattanooga. The not
related Caldwells, Lucy and
Charley, toured the battlefields-
! and we'll, they were married
atop Lookout mountain. Imme-
diately they went to St. Louis to
spend their honeymoon inspect
ing the wonders of the world S
fair.
Charles c. Caldwell, Lucy's
husband, was the grandson cf
y Samuel Caldwell for whom Cald-
we'll was named. He owned the
land, and Uucy said) donated
! the court house square and sew
eral lots to attract the county
seat to Duck creek. The original
| Caldwell home is now occupied
by the Ed Ball family.
Lucy recalled that she lived
there for a while, then she and
! Charley moved into new house
erected beside the hardware
store. Lucy kept books in the
store, fulfilling the suggestion
made by her Atlanta cousin.
1--WE lost everything in the fire
in 1909," Lucy recalled. THE
store, our house, and everything
we owned were destroyed. The
fire broke my husbands heart.
He never had the heart to start
over"
The fire occurred in December,
1909 and the night was so cold
the thermometer was nine below
zero.
Lucy said her marriage was
not happy. Both her children
were born in Caldwell. Right
after the 1913 flood she left Cald-
, well. bringing her children to
Columbus where she sought a
job. Three years later Lucy join
ed the state industrial commits
sion, and has been working there
Gas a claims eXaminer) ever
since. Now she is planning to re-
tire July l.
She has became famous here
for her interest in sports. She has
been official scorer for thousands
of baseball and basketball games.
At one time, she wrote a daily
sports column for the Ohio State
Journal. She also is a great
booster of Dixie.
| Among Lucy's major distinc-
tions is that she has seen the
movie "Gone With the Wind
2412 times. Once she had to leave
the theater to keep score at a
basketball game.
Lucy was at the world pre-
miere of the picture in Atlanta

'HIGHLIGHTING
NEW YORK -.
BY Glen Wilkinson

The current craze of New York
today is to see the musical,
South Pacific, but it impossible
to get reservation before late
July. Mary Martin and Ezio Pin
"a are stars of South Pacific.
PIMA is an opera star and his
success in this smash musical was
quite unexpected.
| The musical score for South
Pacific" was composed by Rich
ard Rogers ard Oscar Hammer
stein II. The most beautiful tune
is Bali Hal, closely followed
by the beautiful "Some Enchant-
ed Evening". The catchy "A
Wonderful Guy" is already on
the Hit Parade.
We must remember that Rog-
ers and Hammerstein composed
the musical score for "Okla-
homa" and that some of the won
derful tunes from that show
were: people Will Say We're in
Love, "Oh What a Beautiful
Mornin' "The Surrey with the
Fringe on Top" and the title
song "Oklahoma". "If l Loved
You from the Rogers Hammer
stein musical, "Carousel" is one
of the American classics of all
time. And the. music for the
movie, "State Fair, was also
composed by Rogers and Ham
merstein-the most outstanding
tunes: 1T Might as Well be
Spring, That's for Me-, Its
a Grand Night for Singing" and
"All l Owe Iowa.
The best movie currently on
Broadway is "Mr. Belvedere
Goes to College" with Clifton
Webb, Shirley Temple and Tom
Drake. Webb is even better than
in last years Sitting Pretty.
The entire show is packed with
laughs from beginning to end.
Temple and Drake provide the
love scenes. Webb should be UP
for Academy Award for this
movie. AS Lynn Belvedere", he
is still the genius that he was in
Sitting Pretty, only funnier.
Belvedere enrolls in college and
completes his four years in one.
If you are feeling blue be sure
and see "Mr. Belvedere Goes to
College,.
The top tune in New York this
week is Forever and Ever" and
Russ Morgan's recording seems
to be on top. Vaughn Monroe's
recording of Riders in the Sky
is jumping right to the top.
Some of the new recordings
worth hearing: Perry Como's
Il Don't See Me. in Your Eyes
Anymore; Ken Griffith's "You,
You, You are the One.;; Perry
Como's bali Hal' and Some
Enchanted Evening; Bing Cros-
by's Bali Hal" and Some En-
chanted Evening.
