A three to flve-year job ol
microfilming approximately $780,
900 land patents stored in the In
terror Department and Archives
Buildings was under way today
for the first time.
The length of time to preserve
these records against future dete-
rioration depends on the number
of cameras that can be used
Microfilming also will make the
priceless land records more read
lily available, since a single room
will hold most of them.
The Bureau of Land Manage
ment, which fell heir to the vo-
luminous records. hopes eventu-
ally to have two sets of patent re-
productions on milimeter film.
One set can be housed in the Ma
tional Archives, the other retained
in the bureaus own files.
Signatures of Presidents.
Few Government records have
been more publicized than these
land records, which bear the per-
sonal signatures of every Presi-
dent from George Washington
through Andrew Jackson. After
that date, to ease the burden on
Chief Executives, the law pro-
vided that a secretary might at
tach the Presidents signature to
individual patents or deeds.
Earliest patent in the files, &C
cording to William o. Hancock
chief of the Branch of Land Use
and Disposal, who has charge of
them. appears to be one issued
by the Board of Treasury on
March 4, 1888, on land entry
dated April 81, 1887.
WaShington'S signature appears
on patent issued February 20,
1895, the first of the Washington
patents on record here. 1t in
volved a tract of land along the
Ohio River.
Mr.. Hancock has been lingering
the pages of the patent records
lovingly for 35 years-since the
day when he first made contact
with them as an Interior employe
His job then was to paste up the
old record books whenever tine
bindings and inside pages became
loose.

Scarlet And Gray
Takes Last Gasp

AS the clock licked away the last
few minutes of work on this weeks
issue of ''The Scarlet and Gray" the
same feeling seemed to run through
all the staff as they put their last
issue ''to bed
Nothing much was said, but their
faces displayed the same pent up
emotion. This was the last time
they would gather in the press room;
the last time to measure stories, lay
out the page, write headlines, re-
write and correct stories and ex-
change views on reporters problems
of the week-all for the last time
at The Washington School.
Some wondered whether there
would ever be a Scarlet and Gray
again. Was this the death" of the
school weekly? A small subscrip-
ton list seems to indicate it will be.
Now it was about $50 p. m. on
Friday, May IS. The last headline
had been written. The stories were
completed on the dummy. With
eyes filed the reporters assembled

In Appreciation

1t has been real pleasure to work,
for the past five months, with the
editorial staff of ''The Scarlet And
Gray" who have done a fine job.
AS they move on to high school, /
trust that they will continue to show
the fine school spirit that they have
displayed during their years at the
Washington School, and wish that
all their dreams may come true.

This has been done through the
cooperation of the faculty, the

graciously accepted, upon our first

terest of young people in this
