TN FRAME CHURCHES. stone cathedrals and

worship this Easter Sunday under the sign Of the
cross For Mrs Willard Riley of Boulder, Colo,
however the cross is not only devout symbol but
a dedicated hobby. Over the years she has pains
takingly assembled collection Of more than 300
crosses of special interest and craftsmanship from
various lands and times.
According to Mrs. Riley, whose collection has
caused her to delve deeply into the history of the
cross there five basic forms of which all crosses
are the outgrowth: The Greek which is like the
International Red Cross insignia; the swastika,
symbol of Nazi Germany, but before that OF Hindu
ISM the ST. Andrew. which looks like the letter X;
the Tau named after the Greek letter T. which
it resembles and the Latin, the familiar cross of
the crucifx
Working with the five basic crosses. craftsmen
through the centuries have elaborated more than

Crosses Through the Ages

-encruSted gold crosses from Central Europe
and crosses made of the ivory brought back to
Europe by Crusaders
Some Of the shapes in Mrs. Riley'S collection
don't seem to relate to the cross. but each Is a
variation of a basic form. Some of the ways
in which cross forms modified are by ~nimbing,
having rays issue from the four bars: by "fmbri
aton.' or the superimposing of one cross upon
another; by ETCHING or making the ends pointed;
by budding" or rounding the ends or by including
"nowy," which is a circle inside the square where
the arms meet. The nowy type Of cross has even
been used successfully to display a miniature
picture within the circle So delicately have crosses
been constructed that they have even been made
of finely interlaced human hair One cross in the

Hailed for her knowledge Of the history and
development of the cross as religious symbol
Mrs. Riley is frequently called upon by church
groups to exhibit her collection and lecture on it.
Almost invariably after these lectures. members of
her audience send her crosses of their
gifts to swell her collection.

For the first few minutes Presley
merely stood there, bathed in all the
wattage the management could sum-
mon. If the sound threatened TO sub
side one decibel, he turned on slow,
sleepy smile and twitched his left leg.
The volume promptly redoubled.
The Presley program consisted of II
songs. Not word of any number was
heard by one person in the arena. The
solid wall of screams never abated.
Seconds before the end of his final
number, Gordon Of husky special

head and rocketed toward the stage. A

and held firmly, shaking with SobS.
Presley was gone in flash. He left
the microphone rocking on the stage,
pivoted and raced down the rear ramp.
He jumped into a waiting car and
slammed the door There was a snarl
of tires and the car roared away, carry

are really national festivals. The first
mid-western Saengerfest in the u. S.
took place in Cleveland i'm 1897; with
subsequent ones held in Columbus,
Toledo, Detroit, Peoria, etc.
Professor Joseph C. Wylli, who also
was musical director of the Toledo
schools, is believed to have been the
first director of the Toledo society.
He was the conductor when Toledo
was host to the Third Saengerfest in
1901.
The present conductor is Joseph
Sainton, who directed the chorus in
1888 when the group participated in
the Saengerfest in Canton. During
depression and war years, the chorus
was discontinued for a period, but in
1947 Mr.. Sainton was persuaded to
again assume directorship.
The chorus has gained strength
since then. 1t took first prize in
Mixed Choir and second prize in
Ladies Choir at the Milwaukee
Saengerfest in 1947. At the Saenger-
fest held in Buffalo in 1850 the singers
won first prizes in both Mixed and
Ladies Choirs.

People of Swiss descent from a
wide area including Sugar Creek and
Archbold, Ohio, and Berne, Ind. are
expected to assemble in Bluffton
March 16 for an unusual concert by
the famed Toledo Swiss Singers in
Founders hall.
The appearance here of this singing
society which had its beginnings as
far back as 1869, is expected to
attract as large a crowd as custom
arily assemblies here for the annual
Swiss Day in the spring.
Proceeds of the concert will be
used to finance landscaping the
grounds at the Mennonite Memorial
home.
The Toledo Swiss Singers had their
beginning as quartet in connection
with their Verein or Insurance group
organized by Swiss emigrants in
Toledo in 1869. AS more Swiss
migrated to Toledo and the original
society enlarged, more singers be-
came interested and the Helvetia
Maennerchor (Male Chorus) devel-
oped.
In this early day the singing was a
more or less spontaneous affair, with
members singing, mainly from Their
memories, songs they had learned ir
Switzerland. AS the years passed
various similar organizations ir
other cities, together with Toledo
decided to meet from time to time
for competition in the art of chora
singing.
The idea of singing competition was
brought from Switzerland where thu
