The curtain on the Civil War Centennial will be raised next January 1 with all the formality and tribute an ap preciative nation can accord the memory of the men on both sides who fought to settle the greatest issue America ever faced. This announcement was made here today by Maj.-Gen. U. S. Crant, 3rd, chairman of the Na tional Civil War Centennial Com mission, who reminded that the kickoff date will inaugurate the greatest commemorative observ ance ever participated in by Americans, a five-year period dur ing which organised effort will be made to bring the nation's history into proper focus. Someone has said, pointed out General Grant, that "the basic reason for official commemora tion of the Civil War should be to impress and re-impress our peo ple, especially the young, with the terrific price paid for this Union of states which we all enjoy so casually today." This official observance, undei the auspices of the national gov ernment, explained the chairman, affordi a tremendous series of op portunitiei to fire the aoul with the true ipirit of patriotiim through new understanding and deep appreciation of "the spirit of those on both sides of that struggle whose intense convictions and personal sacrifices to defend them are simply without parallel in our history." As a token of the official begin ning of the Centennial, he said, President Eisenhower will be ask ed to issue a proclamation inviting and urging every American to participate in the series of pro grams planned at the grass-roots level and coordinated at National Ceatennial Headquarters in Wash ington. Many of these already are well along in the planning stage, while the 40 state Centennial com missions now in existence are working constantly to develop them further. National Scout headquarters are | located at New Brunswick, New Jersey. Frank K. Greene Di Frank Knox Greene, 22, son of Mr. and Mri. Jarvi* E.
