muskets a year. One employe

with buckets of whisky and
dippers scattered through the
plant-was abandoned when
production sagged.

1t was here, on Virginus Is
land, that John Hall in 1919
set up his rifle works to turn
out the first mass-produced
breech loading rifle with inter-
changeable parts.
Harpers Ferry's Importance
grew when the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal pushed through
in 1888, and the rails of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
reached it year later.
BY Civil War time, it was a
prime target with a population
of 1900, compared with today's
population of 800. Loudon,
Bolivar and Maryland Heights
resounded many times with
cannon and musket fire. The
towns industrial capacity was
destroyed as both Union and
Confederate forces literally
burned their bridges-and i'm
portant buildings - behind
them.
In the past few years, Har-
per'S Ferry has been a prime
target of the National Parks
Service.

This strategic transportation
link between North and South
changed hands nearly dozen
times during the Civil War.
Nine times the railroad bridge
was destroyed and rebuilt. The
war left the thriving industrial
town a Shambles from which it
never fully recovered.
IefferSon's Rock is reached
by a climb from Washington
street up THE Bloody Steps"
cut into living stone. The nick
name stems from the fact that
during one of the Civil War
battles the steps became so
slippery with the blood of
wounded they had to be aban-
doned as an access to the tenn
porary hospital in st. Peters
Church.

trenched himself with his small

1892 Columbian Exposition in
Chicago.
To Be Moved
The National Park Service,

John Browns Raid vas one
of the dramatic preludeS to the
Civil War. A plaque in nearby
Charles Town marks the spot
where Brown was hanged sfSsr
his treason trial. The Jail is
gone, but in the 125-year-old
court house the visitor can see
the virtually unchanged court
room in which he was tried.
In the early years of the
war, Harpers Ferry's impor-
tance as a transportation link
was no less than its impor-
tance as an arsenal and ar

Shooting Begins Anew
 On Syrian-Israeli Border

JERUSALEM, tR - Syrians an- nounced shooting resumed on the Syrian-Israeli frontier today.
 A Damascus spokesman for the United Arab Republics army said U.A.R. outposts had shot up a five-man Israeli patrol seen nov ing toward their positions and that Israeli machine gunners then opened fire.
 The machine-gun fire possibly was intended to cover the opera tion of dragging away the killed or wounded members of the Is- raeli patrol, the spokesman said.
 ''The patrol was ambushed by our fire, and all it's members fell down." he said.
 At Tel Aviv, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said Syrian soldiers seemed to be clinging to fortified positions in the Tawafik area in defiance of a United Ma tions request that they withdraw.
