was faithful, adding that the two
would stay close together that day,
and that he would defend the life
of his servant with his own life.
With the morning light, they took
after the Indians, crossing big Saw
age Mountain, and overlook them on
the slope of the next ridge. Here a
hard, short battle was fought, num-
Der of the Indians were slain, and
here too was Slain the faithful
Nemesis.
Although Cresap was known as
the Indian fighter, an odd fact comes
to light, concerning one Indian who
became a friend of the Colonel, and
indeed of his family and descend
ents This was an Indian by the
name of Nemacolin and he played a
part in our history, followed, I'M
knowingly, by many of us today.
While working for the colonel, he
led the way marking the route for
a road through part of the mountain
and that trail became the Braddock
Road, and a part of it later became
the National Road. At one time a
dispute arose as to the best route to
be followed by the British armiees
Some contended that a much better
route could be followed than that of
the trail as originally laid out by the
Indian, Nemacolin, but others, and
some of them in a better position to
understand, praised the route fol-
lowed by the Indian. Here is part
of a letter written by none other
than that famous surveyor, George
Washington:
Dear Sir:-I shall most cheer
fully work on any road, pursue any
route, or enter upon any service that
the general (Forbes) or yourself may
think me usefully employed in or
qualified for, and shall never have
will of my own when a duty is re
CURED of me. But since you desire
me to speak my sentiments freely,
permit me to observe that after hav-
ing conversed with all the guides,
and having been informed by others
who have a knowledge of the coun-
try, I am convinced that a road to be
compared with General Braddock's
road, or, indeed, that will be fit for
transportation even by pack-horses,
cannot be made"
To me, this letter, written by one
who was later to become one of the
greatest of all men of our country,
is revealing of the life of the people
in those days, showing a type of
courtesy and attitude toward ones

Hello, nom ana QaQ! 30 you
want your son to grow up to be
President, and perhaps even have
Sis take a crack at being a Con-
gressWoman! Those are pretty
high aims, but everything and
anything is possible in this big
land of opportunity. Before you
get carried away mapping out
your offspring's rosy future, let's
let them think it over themselves
and decide what they'd like to do
in the way of career, huh?
If the time has come for your
little bird to think about leaving
the nest it may be difficult for you
to realize that your baby is almost
on his own. Perhaps you're slight
ly regretful, and keep remember
ing how he looked in rompers.
Maybe you're delighted with the
chance to push him out! But in
either of these extreme cases, give
Sis and Junior a chance to prove
themselves capable of working.
They may not get any breaks
In the beginning. and there will be
a lot of heartaches and disap-
pointments. so they'll need your
sympathy and interest more than
ever during these trying times.
Whatever happens you must al
ways make them feel that in case
things don't work out they're
always welcome to come to you for
help and encouragement.
Many an irate papa who dis
agrees with Juniors choice of a
career is tempted to say, "If you
won't work in my business which
I've built up all these years, then
go out on your own!" Possibly
Pop thinks he'll be able to take it
easy if Sonny breaks into business.
Or maybe he prefers to keep all
the profits in the family.
But if sons talents lie in
different direction, nipping his
ambitions before they've even had
a chance to branch out is bound
to help him fail at any type of
work he is forced into. If your
attitude toward his career includes
encouragement and support you
can help speed his success i'm
measurably. so try to see his point
of view.
Even though his first job isn't
exactly what you had hoped for
when he was born. the time to
discuss all of this is before he
lands it. not after.
Perhaps you've always hoped
that Susie would earn a college
diploma, but Susie has other ideas.
IF her college grades are just
average, or below. and she feels
she'd much rather try her luck at
a job instead, it might make sense
to let her.
A college degree is no guarantee
of business or professional success.
Although a college education is
always an asset, many prominent
men and women never went to
college and some even failed to
finish high school, Never feel
that your children have ruined
their chances for success if they've

Interior Decoration Field
Noted for striking and imaginative
interior designs for homes,

stores and hotels.
If were 16 again and had my
heart set on being an interior
designer, this is what I would do.
I would equip myself with as much
knowledge as possible by taking
good fine arts course.
With that basic knowledge, and
even while I was taking that
course, 7 would pry into everything
closely or remotely concerning de-
sign and decoration.
Some of the most important
characteristics of a successful per-
son in this line of work are good
personality, ability to meet people,
ability to implant confidence. A
pleasing, unaffected voice should
be cultivated good vocabulary,
not only of the arts or of shop
talk, but in general conversation.
A young designer should learn
to speak French and Italian, at
least, but principally French. He
or she should also know every
style period perfectly. be able to
recognize them Immediately.
Evening star., 1950-01-01

If I were beginning again !
would try to do all of these things
early in my studies. I would start
scrapbooks of interiors, analyzing
them for comfort, convenience,
cost and color, as well as for
beauty or eye-appeal. I would
take mechanical drawing, free
hand sketching and, if possible,
some water-color rendering.
