The Civil
WorStory

THE Civil War Ia the thing
that makes America differ
ent." This was Bruce Cations
reply to the frequent query
posed by the skeptical, the
"realist," the unimpressed
who asks why grown men in
1860 should be 90 absorbed
in q war that was finished
almost q century ago.
Mr.. Cation, q Pulitzer Prize
winner for his Stiffness at
Appomattox," adds that the
Civil War story needs re-
telling because 1t helped to
shape the future Of the
human race. Somewhere be-,
tween Fort Sumter and Ap-
pomattox, the New World
worked out its own destiny,
developing an ideal Of
brotherhood and freedom
broad enough to draw all
mankind after It,"
Well. the story Of the war
Is certainly being retold In
all its detail. And with the
aid Of perspective gained by
the passage Of 90 years, the
telling is for the most part
replete with insight and OBJ
jectivity. Here are some Of
the recent contributions to
this fascinating historiog-
raphy:

And it came to pass in those days
there went ont a decree from Caesar
Augustus, that all the world should be
taxed. (And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city - And Joseph also went up
from Galilee, out of the city Of Nazareth
- into Judaea unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem; because he
was of the house and lineage Of David:)
to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child.
And SO it was, that, while they were
there, the days were accomplished that
she should be delivered. And she brought
forth her first-born son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes and laid him in
manger; because there was no room for
them in the inn zee
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night. And, 10,
the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory Of the Lord shone round
about them " and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them Fear not
for, behold, l bring you good tidings Of

great joy, which shall be to all people
for unto you is born this day in the city
of David Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord And this shall be sign unto you
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel
multitude Of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying, Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
And it came to pass . . . as the angels
were gone away from them into Heaven,
the shepherds said one to another, let us
now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass, which the
Lord hath made known unto us. And they
came with haste, and found Mary and
Joseph and the babe lying in manager.
And when they had seen ii, they made
known abroad the saying which was told
them concerning this child. And all they
that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds
But Mary kept all these things, and pom
dered them in her heart. And the shep-
herds returned, clarifying and praising
God for all the things that they had heard
and seen as it was told unto them.

that Democratic party officials and

Virginian Finds
Friends Up North

Editor Of Herald.
Thank you very much for your
thoughtful letter of September
IL and the enclosures under
separate cover. The F'ranck fami-
~ will certainly read it all.
We have lived here almost
seven years and one thing we
have noticed from the very be-
ginning and that is how well
these people up here speak of
Virginia. Whenever we tell some
one we are from Virginia nearly
always their answer is, "Oh, that
is lovely state" or Gosh, I've
never been down there-sure
would like to go sometime; then
to stand on a street corner in
busy downtown Syracuse when it
is Is degrees below zero and
have somebody recognize my
Virginia accent and blurt out at
me with" What the H are you
doing up here this time of year,
you certainly must be going back
today, and how bout taking me
back with you"
But when we go back to Cum
berland every summer - not a
word is ever mentioned what
Syracuse is like, and they "cut"
us off everytime we even men
ton anything at all about SYRIA
cuse or this section of the coun-
try. MY 18 year old son says,
they just ring the iron curtain
down at the border" In turn,
we've met many people up here
who have travelled in Virginia
and North Carolina and they have
noticed the same thing; 50 it is
not Just US who have experienced
this. And nearly all we have met
and gotten to know agree with
the South being against the SUI
preme Courts decision on segre-
cation. Yes, we are Virginians
and proud that we are, but we
have to admit that we live in
Syracuse, The Friendly City.
