And twenty-five hundred years before Henry Ford ‘cranked’ up a Model T, the Greek, Archl- mides, ‘cranked’ water from a wril with a screw. The remaining landmarks of An cient Greece are her architectural achievements. Greek architecture was divided into three styl^. Of the three, the Corinthian was the most fascinating. The story of the origin' of the Corinthian pat tern is very interesting: A nurse had deposited in a basket on the grave of a departed child the toys she had amused herself with when alive. The basket was placed ac cidentally on the root of an acan thus and in the spring when the leaves grew they curled graceful ly around the basket under a flat stone which was laid on the top of the basket. A Greek sculptor caught the idea and from this worked out the most fascinating pattern of all Greek art—the Cor inthian . The beginning of the Greek splendor dates back to over 800 years B. C. But fact and fable are so mingled as to obscure its early history. It is recorded that Cad mus, a Phoeneclan, Introduced let ters into Greece 1119 years B. C. The alphabet consisted of 17 let ters and the method of writing was from left to right and from right to left alternatively. The earliest Greek literature was in the form of poetry, the earliest composi tions being the Iliad and Odyssey ascribed to Homer.

In chaste ana bewi^ ful composition; in liyeHneag;-^® fancy; in swwtness of periods; m the various fomi»»of intellectual effort under the name of poetry, oratory, and history, they are, sm unrivaled. Thus It Is that literature has been studied^' admired in every age and in evag land where mankind has been awe to appreciate the grand and beau tiful in composition. And it is per tinent to add here that it was the Greeks, who over twenty-five hun dred years ago, worked out stnd completed patterns in arcbitectnre that for graudeur and magnifi cence command the admiration of the world. The chief cities of Greece wei'e Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, and Argos. But Athens was the most renowned and was termed, for its glory in the arts and scien ces, “the learned city, the eye of Greece, the school of the world’’. Ancient Greece had numerous tem ples famous in song and story, but greatest of all were her temples of learning. The teachers in her academies were masters. They de sired not only that- men might know, but that they might know and do. Utility was the watch word, “Vice Is Ignorance”, and “Virtue Is Knowledge” constituted a fundamental of education. The Greeks derived a part of thedr religious learning from Egypt. They were heathens and worshipped great numbers of gods and demigods. It wies their poets who inculcated a belief in Tarta rus and Paradise. Of Hell they have drawn a picture of the most gloomy and horrific colors, where men who have been remarkable for wickedness are tortured with variety of miseries adapted to FOR SALE OR TRADE—Horses and mules.

On the other hand the prospects of Elysium or Heaven is described by Homer, Hesiod, and Binder, as beautiful and inviting In the highest de gree. One of the outstanding temples of Greece was the Parthenon, erected 448 B. C. This temple equals or surpasses all other edi fices ever erected by the hand of man. It was adorned with statues by the best sculptors that Greece or the world ever produced. An other of the great structures of Greece was the Temple of Diana of Ephesus. This marvelous build ing, and one of the Seven Wond ers of the World, was 220 years in building and was burned by Herostratus to eternalize his name. It was destroyed on the night that Alexander the Great was 'born. The dome was support ed by 127 massive columns which were sixty feet In height and twelve feet In diameter at the base. They were furnished by 127 kings. It was at this place where a flourishing church was planted by Paul. Just south-east of Greece proper, was Patmos, a bar ren rocky island with only one lone palm tree. On this island the Apostle John was exiled, and here he wrote the Book of Revelation. Crooked politicians had little show in Greece. All candidates were required to give an account of their past life In the public forum, and if a false report‘was detected It was too bad for the candidate. On* peculiar feature In the government of Athens mesits mention: It was termed "os- trakon” but in modern Interpre tation would be called “ostra cism". It worked as follows: Hie people 'being assem'bled, each citi zen wrote on a shell the name of the citizen most obnoxious to him without the allegation of crime, carried It to a place fixed for the purpose and deposited It. There shells were numbered by the ar- bhons. If they amounted to over 6,000 the archon ordered the per son so written to be banished for T. Sgt Paul Warren On Guadalcanal Mrs. M. F. Carlton received word Saturday that her brother, T. Sgt. Paul M. Warren, of the U. S. M. C„ Was stationed at Guad alcanal, In the South Pacific.

He and Blevins both have out standing army records. Blevins operated a “bazooka'' before be ing wounded on Feb. 3rd, 1944. He is now In on army hospital somewhere In Italy. These boys any there was not the slightest lull in their conversation the few hours they were able to spend to gether. m hi A Brothers Meet In England Pfc. Wayne Elledge and Pfc.
