Arbor and Bird Day
V
Friday afternoon. March 28. was
celebrated as Arbor and Bird Day In
tbe Youngsville high school. The
senior class presented a very appro
priate program. This program con
sisted or the history and future of
tbe American forest. The wild life
?as stressed. Tbe student body was
warned to guard the great enemy?
fre, and take upon themselves the
responsibility to see that treej are
protected against this dreadful fo>.
After the program ended maple trees
were ,*et on tbe school ground to
l<eafttify tbe yard and offer shelter for
the birds that we love to have vlall
us. Several beautiful Arbor Day
poems were recited after the trees
were planted.
We were very fortunate to hare
with us at (Lis time Mr. Claridge fr >m
the State Department of Conservation
aad Development. He pointed out
the danger to the American forest
through ignorance. This ignorance
consists of the false notion of destroy
ing Insects by burning the woods
every year; burning the woods to
destroy tbe boll weevil when the boll
weevil does, not live In the woods at
Mil, China was pointed out as a
country, that burned the forest to rid
t'jemselves of vermin and suffered
greatly for their mistake.

Washington Was
n The Father Of
T West Point
Bb Dnu ?r a Great Ulterjr Au4
mr wm be Kail; Realise* la 1WM

Another project dear to George
; Washington will take on Anal form
with the edition of 16,000 acres of
, land to the reservation of the United
Slates Military Academy * at West
Point, thas rounding oat the scope
of the school as Washington desired
it to be. The dedication o( this ad
Ci' tonal land, it has been learned by
the Division or Information and Pub
lication of the George Washington
Bicentennial Commission, has been
most appropriately set for next year,
1432, the Two Hundredth Anniver
sary of Washington's birth.
Probably no military locality figur
ed more often than West Point In
Washington's mind during the War
for Independence. He early bad
seen the Importance of the Hudson
Hiver. Control of thft waterway by
the enemy would have cut the Thir
teen warring Colonies in two. Com
mand of the river by' the patriots
meant dominance of the military sit
uation and was necessary to victory
in the war. And West Point was the
key position on the river.
In full appreciation of this fact,
Koaclusiko wa? commlstloq^ lB 177?
to plan fortifications for West Point
that would make It "the Gibraltar of
the Hudson." J
Washington, however, saw In West
Point a utility to his army beyond its
immediate strategic Importance. None
knew better than the commanding
general the scarcity of well-traloed
officers in his ranks, and the situa
tion of West Point seems to have Im
pressed him even then as a good one
| lor the establishment of the needed
military school.
On Washington'* recommendation,
Congress appointed a committee to
draw up plans (or such a school and
in 1777 a corps of officers not able
tc perform Held service was organis
ed In Philadelphia. In 1781 this body
was sent to West Point "to serve as
r. military school (or young gentle
men previously to their being ap
pointed to marching regiments."
Congress had thus found time to act
upon Washington's . idea, and such
were the beginnings of West Point.
Three rough buildings had been
erected, to house a library, aa en
gineers' school, and a laboratary.
Preliminary practice In gunnery also
was set up. That Washington had In
mind the future development of West
Point is shown by the fact that at
Newburgh, in 1783, he laid before his
generals further plans for a more
extensive academy there, for artiller
ists, engineers, and cadets. But not
until after the War, when he was
President, had he the time or the au
thority to give effect to his ideas.
In 1794, during his Administration,
he recommended to Congress sugges
tions for upbuilding of a school for '
thorough and complete military train- I
lng at West Point. The School was '
not without its "vicissitudes, however.
A Are destroyed wtiat Congress had
r.'. ready accomplished and the acad
imy, as it then was, was wiped out
and forgotten for six years.
Still, Washington's Idea survived,
end in 1802 President Jefferson took
up the plan and rebuilt West Point.
True to his own sense of the fitness
ot things, President Jefferson saw to
it that July Fburth should be the date
rf reopening. On that day West
Tolnt as we know. It today got down
to Its work with an enrollment of
ten cadets. Since then nothing has
Impeded its work but cramped quar
ters and not always ample appropria
tions.
Certainly the American people ?
have never lacked Interest in West J
Point Each year It Is visited by |
more persons than any other Govern- j
ment military undertaking- Now the' ,
seventy-first Congress has authorized I
a move long indicated and urged, in 1
fcrder to carry out Washington's orl- .
gtnal purpose. General Washington I
had placed training in gunnery (ore- J
most in its teaching. At last, with |
16,000 acres of additional land, the j
Academy is to have this needed ar- j
tlllery range, and also a training i
field fcr aviation. And no one will |
question the fitness of opening this ?
new and larger West Point during 1
the year when the nation pays Its |
homage to Washington.
AT &E8T
A dark gloom was cast upon the
entire community, when It was learn
ed that death had entered Into the
home of W. H. Burgess, and took
the loving mother and grandmother,
Mrs. Bettie Ayscue. The deceased
leaves three children, fifteen grand
children, two great-grandchildren and
cne sister.
Grandmother had been In a bad
state of health for several years, but
we had hoped that she would get bet
ter, for we could hardly bear to think
ol her leaving us, but our hopes
(-rambled Thursday, March 19, about
f o'clock when God led into that beau
ttfnl kingdom, where she will live for
ever.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Friday evening at Liberty Chris
tian Church by Rev. H. E. Crotch
Held, where there were a large num
ber of relative* and friends present
lo pay their last tribute of respect.
She was tenderly laid to rest beneath
the bountiful snpply of beautiful
flowers .beside her husband who had
proceeded her to the grave thirty
eight years.
Grandmother will, be sadly missed
by her friends and relatives who loved
her so dearly.
