and having neither, Sites remem-
bered his ! friend, John Cleves
Symmes. Synames was a New Jersey
congressman and had both.
Sites hurried 10 Trenton and told
Symmes all about it and the cong
ressman promised to see what he
could do about it. Sites went back
to the Indian country happy and
Symmes went to Philadelphia, the
capital.
Barely month after the Ordin-
ance of 1877 had been signed, max
ing the Ohio Indian lands available
for sale, Symmes On August 20,
1887, bought the lands, not for
Sites but for himself at 81 cents an
acre and on credit. He later solo
Sites 10000 acres, mostly along the
west side of the Little Miami River
Symmes' Purchase extended q
miles along the Ohio River from the
mouth of the Little Miami to the
mouth of the Great Miami and a
bout 40 miles into the interior of the
now state "for quantity" He
Dragged that it contained million
acres but actually only 311,682 acres
were in it.
In January, 1888. Symmes solo
Matthias Denman, from Springfield
New Jersey, 747.8 acres at five
shillings an acre and got his pay il
deprecated continental script worth
Is cents on the dollar. That came
to exactly $124.63 for the land OF

Sites laid out Columbia, now ;
part of Cincinnati, on his land No
vember 18, 1888, and Symmes' owl
settlement was made at North Ben,

He was slow in paying for tn
Purchase and had many dispute
with the government, which final
took some of the acreage away fror
him. His final payment was in 49,
when a deed was issued. So goes IL
story of the Syrnmes Purchase.

UNITED PROTESTANT CHURCH PLANS LENTEN SERVICES

The seven last words ot Christ will be the topics of sermons de- livered by Rev. Brian Cleworth at the United Protestant Church during Lent. On Sunday morn ing, February 20, the first ser mon will be delivered, entitled, Forgiveness.
 The season of lent has always been recognized as period of spiritual preparation for Easter, and a denial of mans dependence upon the material aspect of life, Rev. Cleworth reminded this week. It is therefore fitting that we should use this period to ex- anime our faith, the effect Chris tianity has had upon us in the past and what it must mean to us in the future. This is a time to rededicate ourselves to faith and to live in such way as to daily strengthen that faith. With such a dedication, Easter will have for us a much fuller mean ing, he pointed out.

Vietnam Refugee
Thanks Eisenhower

Washington, ID. G. - A
small Oriental statuette, sent
to him by a refugee from
N ort h Vietnam, inspired
Presi d ent Eisenhower to
write a personal letter of
thanks in which he also COM
mended the sincerity of the
Vietnamese people in their
quest for freedom, the u. S.
Information Agency reported
last week.
According to the Informa-
ton Agency's post in Saigon,
South Vietnam, the refugee,
Phan Tat Thanh, recently re-
ceived a letter from the Pres
ident which said: Your gra-
cious gift, the stauette of La
Dong Tan, has been delivered
to me-"
The story goes back to last
February when Mr.. Thanh
disembarked from a u. S. Ma
wy ship at Saigon with his
wife and seven children. In
his baggage was a porcelain
st a t u e t t c representing La
Dong Tan, a benevolent per-
sonality of Chinese mytholo-
gy.
The statuette was one of
Mr.. Thanh's most treasured
possessions, handed down to
him by his grandfather. Long
ago, several hundred years
perhaps, a member of the
Phan family had brought
back a set of eight porcelain
! statuettes from China. La
Dong Tan was the only one
left. During the war the fam
lily buried it.
When they fled to South
Vietnam, they carefully car
ried this delicate article to
Saigon. Mr.. Thanh decided to
send it to President Eisenhow-
er as a token of his appreci-
alton for the passage to free
DOM"
Last week, the Information
Agency reported, Mr.. Thanh
received the following letter
from the President:
IT know that when one is
forced to flee his home in or
der to remain a free man, the
possessions he is able to carry
with him are precious and
few. For you to send me as a
token of gratitude one of
your most cherished treasures
touches me deeply. Your gift
symbolizes the sincerity and
determination of your people
in their quest to remain free.
In recognition of this spirit
and the courage and sacrifice
you have shown, l am pleased
to accept your thoughtful
gift on behalf of the people
of the United States, and I
thank you for it.
'The answering desire for
fr e e d o m demonstrated by
your people is an inspiration
to all freedom loving people
the world over"
