Although Bicentennial Cele
brations in all sections of the coun
try have been featured since the
opening on February 22 of the nine
months observance of the George
Washington Bicentennial, indica
tions are that the summer months
will bring the fullest participation
yet enjoyed. 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

ing.”
The Memorial volumes, it was
explained, will not be ready for
some time; but in view of the tre
mendous amount of work necessary
to compile these yolumes, the Com
mission’s staff will begin work on
this project within the next few
ticn; made their important spec
tacles scenes from the life and
career of George Washington.
Every circus has included some
thing on this order in its parade
and program features. Some of
the larger circuses are using elab
orate and pretentious spectacles

This interest is largely due to the
committee of professional men,
circus fans, who make it one cf

cus survives.
