OBSERVATIONS
(By Mrs. A. H. Patterson)
WV^-JW.VW.V^'A'rtWWWVi
Was very much interested to
know that a joint reunion of the
“men in gray’’ and the “men in
blue” will be held in 1938, in Gettys
burg where as some one has express
ed it, “the rebel yell and Yankee
cheer, oral weapons of Civil War,
will sound again at Gettysburg, this
time in friendly salutes.’
Plans for the joint reunion have
been indorsed, by United Confeder
ate veterans, who will meet surviv
ors of the Grand Army of the Re
public, on Pennsylvania soil, w'here
more than 7000 were killed in action
July 1-3, 1863.
Was amused when I read that the
Pennsylvania governor had given
assurance that the men in gray
would be allowed to carry the flag
of the Confederacy and give the
rebel yell.—While we appreciate the
spirit of the governor, we must say
he knows little of what goes into
the making of these beloved men of
our Southland.
The courage they manifested dur
ing those four years of hardships
and defect, has been with them
throughout the years and with all
due respect to the governor, who
will doubtless leave no stone un
turned in providing for the comfort
and happiness of these veterans, I’m
thinking he’d have to call out the
Pennsylvania State militia if he
tried to curb them when they get
ready to "celebrate”. There'll be no
reunion of our men in gray, without
their tattered Confererate flags ami
the rebel yell will be heard, be the
reunion on norther or southern soil.
I’m thinking too, that it will be
hard for some of our more spirite 1
veterans to meet the foe of yester
year without some such remarks as,
“If you hadn’t outnumbered us we'd
have whipped you.’
Attended one of the reunions of
the United Confederate Veterans in
Dallas, Texas, some years ago and
was impressed with the tact that
those dear souls don't have to wait
until the key of the cities, where
their reunions are held, is officially
and formally presented. The key is
their and they know it.—In other
words they are ‘privileged charac
ters” in the Southland and we’re
glad they have been officially given
"free rein" for the reunion in the
North.
During the Dallas reunion I looked
on, at first in disgust, as the aged
men, many of them, kissed any giri
that came sight and their fail
ing eye-sight didn’t seem to prevent
them from distinguishing between
the fair maidens and the more bux
om females. Dallasites were thrilled
to have these visitors, remnants of
the lost cause, with them as the fol
lowing excerpt from a Dallas paper
of that day bears witness: “The
shadow of the once great army of
the Confederacy passed through the
streets of Dallas to day, throwing
kisses to the populace as though bid
ding farewell on their last journey.
The kisses were returned a hundred
! fold, by the cheering multitude
which for three hours was trans
ported again to the stirring days o*
their forefathers, as the veterans
] gray uniforms, battle flags, rebel
I yells and all ended their 35 th re
union in brilliant pageantry.
The parade in which 5,000 fighters
of the Old South participated, was
i greeted by the biggest, most respon
| sive lines of spectators Dallas has
| ever known. Girls threw flower in
I their pathway, men shouted and
men wept and among the tumult of
the crowd, could be heard the pierc
ing sound of the rebel yell and the
blare, of many bands.”
While thinking of the veterans of
I the North and South I am remindeo
of a little incident that did not es
cape my eye when on a recent visit
to Arlington Cemetery, Washington,
After visiting other sections of the
cemetery we went to the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier, where we ling
ered for sometime,—partly throuvh
a sense of reverence and respect,—

The young soldier who keep vigil
was marching with measured tread
—back and forth — back and forth—
looking neither to the right nor the
left. While we were standing there
an aged member of the Grand Army
of the Republic then in convention
in Washington came walking up in
company with a younger man. The
young soldier turned immediately to
face the aged veteran and saluted
him. The veteran, equal to the occas
ion squared bis shoulders and return
cd the salute. The young soldier
then again took up his vigil and be
gan his march—back and forth.
Mrs. Zoe K. Brockman, Gazette
columnist, has hit upon the best
plan yet for an Armistice Day pa
rade and while we love to honor the
heroes of the World War.—War Be
tween the States and others the san
est plan no doubht would be some
thing on the order of what she sug
gests in the following: "If I were
arranging an Armistic Day parade
it would be different from any pa
triotic parade I've ever seen. There,
would be flags, of course — but noth
ing else to suggest that war stalks
the earth in gilded trappings and
a blaze of glory.
There would be floats but these
would not be beautiful. Instead,
there would ride in them men from
the several government hospitals —
men who wore the uniforms of our
country in a foreign land and who
were returned to us maimed and
halt and blind. And there would be
floats filled with war widows and
orphans.
Then I would have Boy Scouts
carrying posters depicting the new
est inventions and discoveries for
the dealing out of death—gases, li
quid fire, swift and horrible missies
tipped with death. All in fact, of the
inventions calculated to destroy in
the vastest way, human life and prop
erty, upon which munition makers
have been working since the last
var. An there would be pictures of
the huge factories that manufacture
death and the men who sit behind
mahogany desks and grow fat and
rich off the grisly profits of war.
War maps, with lurid hues, calling
attention to the lands that are now
running in the blood of countless
and unnecessary wars, et cetera, et
cetera."
Mrs. Brockman in conclusion says
this would be a true presentation of
what follows in the wake of war—
the horror that is hidden by the rip
pling of the flag on the breeze aud
the throaty brass of the band.
No doubt as she says the youth
seeing all this—the stupid savage
way of settling disputes, would per
haps arrive at some workable plan
for ending war.
A small boy entered a grocery
store and said, "Gimme a dime's
worth of asafetida.” The storekeep
er tied up the package and the boy
said, "Dad wants you to charge it."
‘All right," said the storekeeper,
"What's your name?’
"Schermerhorn.”
'Take it for nothin'” said the store
keeper. "I ain't goin’ to spell ‘asafe
tida' and ‘Schermerhorn’ for no
dime."
Prom all reports of the Study Club
meeting at Mrs. Grady Patterson’s
Tuesday. Mrs. O. W. Myers and Mrs
Paul Maunev will doubtless be call
ed upon to make stump speeches ere
the campaign is ended.
"There's nothing new under the
sun," so they say, but a visit to that
marvelous $1,000,000, streamlined,
air-conditioned Rexall train and the
Rexall Convention in Charlotte Tues
day was a new and novel experience
to me and certainly a most delight
ful one.
The train itself, consisting of elev
en coachea so designed as to almost
give the appearance of a continuous
unit, painted In a beautiful shade of
blue combined with white, was the
last word in beauty, cleanliness, neat
ness and luxury.

—and on and on, each car complete,
even to those especially arranged as
lounges where the convention geusts
could rest and relax and listen to the
various speakers and representativ
es of the Rexall company who enter
tained not only by giving suggea
tions and advice on up-to-minute
methods of conducting a drug busi
ness but with timely jokes and wise
cracks. I had just remarked to one
of our party that they had dressed
the pills up until they looked almost
good enough to take when one of the
speakers told of a woman with her
five small children who visited the
train on one of their stops. The cthJ'j
dren saw the pretty colorful pills and
thinking it candy said, "Mammy buy
us some of the candy.’ The woman
thinking of her worthless husband
said "It ain't candy but if they’d sell
them, I'd buy a dozen and give your
pappy."
The central attractions of the
exhibit were a revolving wheel dis
playing a certain brand of choco
lates and a word map designating
the sources of supply and methods
of procuring crude materials, etc.—
But I believe I was more attracted
by the huge bunch of purple grapes
topped by bronzy green foliage, hang
ing from the ceiling and from which
flowed a continuous stream of grape
juice into a funnel and thence into
a demijohn.
The crowning event of the day for
us, no doubt was the buffet lunch
eon given in the train at which1,
through the courtesy, of Mrs. E. W.
Griffin our party which consisted of
Mesdames Griffin, Finger, D. C.
Mauney, M. A. Ware and I, were
guests.
Must say that if these people can
concoct and sell drugs in the man
ner with which they can serve such
an appetizing and beautiful luncheon
—well, we should all be WELL.
Couldn’t leave this subject without
saying something about the courte
ous, wonderful treatment of the Rex
all force from the executives on
down to those good-looking young
men who were there to entertain
and serve us in any way. Then there
was the orchestra and — but time’s
up and though there’s plenty more
to be said—so long.
