the very roots of our national memories.
Out Of this luxurious home of wealthy
aristocrat there came, somehow, an element
essential to democracy itself; underneath
the restless, eternalIy- moving striving Of our
heterogeneous society there are calm and
dignity and secure peace.
Z. The Pusblo ef Taes
And now, cross the continent, all the way
to New Mexico - endless horizons, un-
dimmed sunlight, great mountain masses
that look misty-blue and insubstantial in
the distance.
Here is village more ancient than any
our European ancestors ever built in this
country: the pueblo Of Taos, bumped
pile of adobe brick, preserving an Indian
culture that was old before Coronado rode
out on his romantic and hopeless quest.
Here, too, the culture that the Spaniards
brought with them is living reality, the
great days of the friars and the conquista-
dors speak with different voice, and the
long-ago fingers in the shadows of an
ancient church.
Our heritage is not all English Cavaliers
and Puritans, not all Of our roads began at
Plymouth Rock or between the rivers on
the Virginia peninsula; all nations and
races had part in building America, and
Taos is a fine reminder of the fact.
:. The NGinusanan
Now New England: the twin towns Of
Lexington and Concord, authentic bits Of
the Colonial past.
BY the time history began to take shape
on Lexington green and along the Concord
bridge, people who had begun to think of
themselves as Americans had lived along
the eastern seaboard for generations.
Yet here. ina way, is where we began.

worthy of attention by rowing Americans.

The first historic wonder" comes in
three parts - the great Virginia Shrines -
Yorktown, Williamsburg and Mount Ver-
non, lying within few hours drive Of
each other.
Williamsburg is both new and old:
reconstructed Colonial capital, skillfully
recreated so that the auto traveller can, sim
ply by parking his car and stepping out OF
it, walk back into past more than two CEN
turies old. Here is one Of the places where
we began. Strolling about, you can feel,
"Well, this is what it looked like then, this is
how life was lived. y This dignity and quaint
elegance moved into our national blood
stream and are somehow responsible for at
least part of the heritage by which we live.
And little farther along the road is
Yorktown, where men died amid the rat
tie and crash Of cannon and small-arms,
and where proud empire at last acknoWl-
edged the existence Of prodigious new
democracy while impudent fifers shrilled a
tune aptly called THE World Turned Up
side Down."
And north by pleasant mornings drive
lies that great mansion by a dreamy river,
home place Of one Of the greatest Of all
Americans = Mount Vernon.
There is little to say about Mount Vernon
that has not been said many times. II any
place in America is the American shrine,
it is Mount Vernon. 1t bespeaks the man
. without whom, almost certainly, the nation
could not have come to birth; more than
that, it also tells of kind of society, a way
Of living and of looking at life, that go to

nrst and winning three matches. Particu-
lar credit, Of course, must go to Tony Trabert
and Vic Seixas, pair Of court veterans who
have learned how to lose as well as how to
win. Trabert, national champion two years
ago, has had an up-and- down year In tourna-
nent tennis but It seemed evident In recent
weeks that the ex-sailor was approaching
new peak Of playing form. Seixas, a
stylish but sometimes erratic "old-timer' at
81, never before had reached such peak
in Davis Cup play.
The triumph is the 18th for the United
States in Davis Cup competition and the
first Australian defeat since 1949. Tennis
has become the national sport down under.
and there Is little doubt that the youthful
Aussies will be storming back to the chal-
lenge round next year. Since 1900 Davis
Cup play has been one Of the finest Of
international competitions IN the sports
world. The record-sized crowd at the Syd-
ney matches cheered the winners and they
are fully deserving Of the same kind OF
applause at home.
