Information to ihis effect is received from the United States George Washington Bicen tennial Commission. George Washington piays and outdoor pageants are now being re hearsed as part of graduation ex ercises of thousands of schools and colleges. Farmer’s picnics aro taking on a definitely patriotic tinge. When the circus comes to town, George Washington on a nilk white charger will be in the par ade. From one end of the country to the other, gardens will burst in to bloom with Colonial flowers and red, white and blue blossoms in honor of the Father of His Coun- *ry. George Washington drama is playing a major role in the activi ties for the summer. The Play and Pageant Department of the Unit ed States George Washington Bi 1 - centennial Commission has issued more than 150,000 copies of plays and pageants featuring the life and times of George Washington. These have been circulated upon request. Printed programs verifying the pro duction of these plays and page ants in almost every city in che country are now being received at Commission Headquarters. A large percentage of the schools have pledged themselves to re-enact Washington events from com mencement and graduation exer cises. Fourth of July and Flag- Day celebrations invariably include one or more Wasnington dramati zations. Communities are plan ning, even now, as far ahead as Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day with special emphasis being placed on plays and pageants. Summer camps, circuses, chau- tauquas, conventions, stock com- j vo j um g panics, little theatres, and dozens of other organizations are includ ing dramatic epochs in the life of George Washington for the enter tainment of their summer public. The American Farm Bureau Fed eration has been active in stimu lating interest in rural George Washington picnics for the Fourth of July. A definite plan has been worked out and the program which has been vigorously pushed by State, County and community farm bureau units, is now under way with hundreds of picnics def initely scheduled for this import ant date. County fairs, stock shows, rodeos and agriculture exhibitions will all contain Bicentennial Celebration features. Stimulated by the Garden De partment in the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, amateur gardeners, school garden clubs .federated garden clubs and other garden organizations have responded to the appeal generously to plant flowers this year. Garden contests are being planned with specially appointed local committees and groups of judges who will decide upon prizes and the date of be stowing them late in the summer. The model used for garden contests is the plan originated by the Bi centennial Commission which is sued a bulletin now available to all oiganizations wishing to use it. Commission To Pub lish Series Commem orative Volumes The work of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission will be handed down to posterity, according to Congress man Sol Bloom, Associate Director of the Commission. Plans are being made for all the publications issued by the Bicen tennial Commission in the past two years to be combined in a series of Memorial Volumes. These volumes, Congressman Bloom ex plained, will be deposited with ohe libraries of the country for refer ence in connection with future George Washington birthday cele brations. The Commission has already oub- lished a series of sixteen historical pamphlets entitled, “Honor tc George Washington.” Each oam- phlet deals with a different phase of Washington’s life and activities. Besides this series, the Commission has published booklets on music; a series of plays and pageants in cluding the full length Folk Masque entitled “Wakefield,” written for the Commission by Percy Mack- aye; a handbook for teachers; a series of twelve program pam phlets; a special Colonial Costume book; a book on the highlights of Washington’s Writings for use in the classroom and at patriotic gatherings; a collection of sermons on George Washington prepared es pecially for the Commission; a 4-H Club booklet for farm organiza tions and many other smaller pamphlets and booklets. The Commission has collected a library of several thousand his torical pictures of George Wash ington and people and places in timately connected with him. This collection is of great historical and financial value. Besides, thousands of pictures, sent in from all corners of the world, portraying events connected with the Bicentennial Celebration, have also been as sembled. The most important of these pictures will form a separate of the Commemorative series. Another volume will be devoted to a comprehensive report of the works of the Commission so that future Americans will know exact ly how the world celebrated the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington in 1932. These Memorial Volumes, along with the twenty-five volume set of the Writings of Washington, now being edited for the Commission by Dr. John C. Fitzpatrick, and the Washington Atlas which was pre pared for the Commission by Col onel Lawrence Martin, will form the permanent contribution of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission to his torical Washingtonia. “When America gets ready, in 2032, to celebrate the Three Hund redth Anniversary of Washington’s Birth,” commented Congressman Bloom, “the people will have more to work with than we had.' We, for the most part, had to feel and make our own way. The material which we will leave behind will be of great help to future American citizens desiring to honor the mem ory of the Father of our Country. “This thought is a great consol ation to me,” continued the Con gressman. “We know that the work we have done in the past two years will not have been done in vain but will continue through the years TOTAL j $17,860.95 Experience Service Facilities Those are the important things in measuring the worth of a funeral director, and should be borne in mind when you have occasion to choose one DISTANCE IS NO HINDRANCE TO OUR SERVICE and there is no additional charge for service out of town J.
