C. Young Lady Who Won Star's Trip to Washington Found tht Trip Real Education. Tells of Sights. Dear Star Subscribers: As you know, I won a trip to Wash ington, I). C., by getting subscribers for The Cleveland Star. I took this trip September 4th and spent three days in Washington, returning hoin*-1 September 8th. Mr. Fdgerton, the leader of our party, introduced me to the other-j girls, who were all very kind and friendly. When we reached Washing- ; ton Saturday morning, a bus was at the station, waiting to carry us to mil hotel, which was the Potomac. Just as soon as we were through with break fast, we started sight-seeing on a bus. The first place we visited was to the Lima In Memorial building, o'Ur guide gave us 10 minutes to look oyer the building. Around the top of it tiic names of the 48 states Were engraved in large letters, North Carolina being near one corner; then above the 18 were the l.j original states, engraved iri large letters. I think every one of pur party made real use of those few short minutes. 1 am sure that I did. We visited the White House and saw a number of interesting things in there. We also visited the tomb of President Harding, and the place where the funerals of our dead Pres idents have been l.ield We rode through the different parts of Wash ington. seeing the most famous pub lic buildings. The largest building we saw covered -17 acres. Then we went back to the hotel for lunch. When lunch was over, Mr. E<1 gerton told us that we might rest Sat urday afternoon, as we were tired from the trip end needed some rest, Saturday night we went to the park just about 15 miles from the city, any stayed there almost two, hours. All of the girls enjoyed that trip very much, but we were ready to sleep when we came back to the hotel, after riding all night. Sunday morning we all went lo church, part to one church and pare to another. The people of Washington were very kind and friendly, and in vited us back to their* church at six o'clock Sunday evening to their Chris tian Endeavor, hut ns Mg. Edgerton had something planned for us to do we could not go. Mr. Edgerton took us to the Zoo Sunday afternoon, and we certainly did en.icy the time we spent there. Sun day night we went to the Congression al Library, and I regret that I cannot tell you more about it than this. Our guide was hurrying us through and we did not have time to look at every thing as much as we would have liken. I enjoyed especially the Poets room. This contqjned the portraits of poets witha quotation from each. There were portraits of Henry W. Longfellow, Ed gar Allen Pre, Alfred Tennyson, Wil liam Cowper, Robert Browning, Sid ney Lanier, Robert Southey, Lord By ron, Sir Walter Scott, and Robert Burns, Shakespeare, Washington Ir ving and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Aft er seeing this I am sure that I will ap preciate more than ever poetry writ ten by them. If only all the school boys and girls of Cleveland county could visit the Congressional library, I nm satisfied that we would all appre ciate our history and English so much more than we do. One other interest ing thing in the library was the De claration of Independence. It was seal ed in a frame of gold, with n gins; over the top, that people might be able to read it if they desire to, hut our guide would not give us time to do so. Monday, our last day in Washing ton, we visited the National Museum and saw a large number of very in teresting things. I was especially in terested in the things that were used in the world war. We cannot imagine what our American boys had to stand in the war, even, if we have seen the things that they used in bottles. We do not realize the hardships of it. We also visited the Pan-American building, and the Martha Washington candy store. The man, Mr. Elie Sheets, who owns the candy store, has made twelve million dollars by selling Mal tha Washington candy, and has never advertised any, only by giving sam ples of his candy to visitors that comr into his store. The next place we visited was Ar lington, Va. Tere, there is a cemetery where 37,000 soldiers are buried, of whom five thousand are unknown. These boys gave their lives on tho battlefields, because of their love for their nation, “America.” The last place we went to was. Mount Vernon, the ho meof our belov ed first President, George Washington. Our guide took us over Washington’s home, in which Washington died. We also saw the first organ that was used in his church, and the coach that he rode in. We visited the tombs of Washington and his wife, Martha, and the different things that were there for every one to see. The prettiest scene that I saw was looking fron. the hill of Mount Vernon across the Potomac river. When we were ready to leave Mount Vernon, we caught the boat back to Washington, on tti* Potomac river, which was just one and one half hours ride. We certainly did enjoy the boat trip. When we got back to the hotel we had to think about coming home, for we were to leave Washington at 10:50 Monday night. May I thank the people that were so kind as in helping me win this trip, »nd I hope that every new subscriber will find The Star just what I said it was, and will continue to like it muefl better, as 1 think we are all proud to have our own county pnpet. May I say again that I enjoyed the trip verv, very much. BRYTE ELMORE. Lawndale, N.- C. MORE BIRTHS IN STATE THIS YEAR THAN l.
