IN THE CCC
By J. B. WILLIAMS
That the CCC is more than a
casual gesture on the part of the
New Deal, as regarded by the pub-
lic, is evidenced by a letter received
at this camp recently. It was from
the University of Illinois Library,
and the following is an excerpt:
“We note in the current issue
of Happy Days that your camp
paper, Greasewood Gossip, has
been cited for its general excel-
Coronation of New King
or Queen Is Great Event
A great thing to see In London 11
the crowning of a new king or
queen. It does not happen often,
but when it does it is an event to
remember, says a writer in the De-
troit News.
The actual crowning, or corona-
tion, takes place in Westminster
abbey and the archbishop of Canter-
bury Is in charge of the ceremony.
The new king sits in the famous
Coronation chair, which is covered
for the event with cloth-of-gold. He
promises that he will govern by the
laws made by the British parlia-
ment; that he will carry out a rule
of justice and mercy; and that he
will maintain the Protestant reli-
gion.
The Coronation chair dates back
to the time of King Edward I, who
ruled six and a half centuries ago.
It is made of oak, but under the
seat is “the Stone of Scone," which
was taken away from Scotland dur-
ing the reign of Edward. Before
that the stone had been used dur-
ing the crowning of Scottish kings.
There Is a legend that the Stone
of Scone was used as a “pillow” by
Jacob, the Hebrew patriarch. The
legend says that the stone was
moved from Palestine to Ireland,
and from there to Scotland before
it fell into the hands of the Eng-
lish. There is reason to believe,
however, that it was obtained from
a quarry near Scone, a town in
Scotland.
men, ready to listen to the lowest
enrollee with as close an interest
as the officer would lake in his own
theories.
On alternate Tuesdays, Lt. John
Ridout, the chaplain of this and
seven other camps, meets with the
group and conducts religious ser-
vices afterward. The last time the
chaplain visited the camp, he per-
suaded Friar Willis Wills, in
charge of the Episcopalian Church
in Hot Springs, to come out to the
camp with, him.
The Friar is an accomplished pi-
anist, and was persuaded to render
a selection for the company on the
evening of his visit. He had not
brought any music with him, but
agreed to play his favorite score
on, the battered old piano in the
“rec" hall.
He surprised everybody present
by choosing Rachmaninoff’s “Pre-
lude in D Minor", a beautiful, if
somewhat ponderous interpretation
of the morbid dreams of the Rus-
sian composer whose studio was di-
rectly across from a temple where
rather a sonorous set of bells used
to toll for all deaths. Rachmaninoff
dreamed that he was being buried
alive, and all through his struggles
to get out of the casket, he could
hear the three deep notes of the
knell.
Very few of those present had
any experience in the study of
classical music; it is doubtful if
any had even studied its apprecia-
tion, but the selection was highly
enjoyed by all. The Friar's telling
the story of the composition made
it more enjoyable than it would
have been otherwise.
—CCC-
Robert Chaves, one of the most
liked men here—in fact, all the
Brady men stand high with the
command — has volunteered to
teach Spanish to those interested.
At the present writing, he is busi-
ly engaged in his second lesson,
consisting of the pronunciation of
different characters in the Spanish
alphabet.
Educational Adviser Stigler is
highly pleased with Chavez as a
teacher, and all the men studying
under him are taking a great in-
terest in the course. That this is
partly due to Chavez's popularity,
is obvious.

“At present, the University of
Illinois Library, one of the large
research libraries of this country,
is attempting to acquire all the
literature pertaining to the ‘New
Deal'. In doing this one of our
main projects is the securing of
CCC camp newspapers. We are
writing to ask if you could supply
us with a complete file of the
Greasewood Gossip, . . . We now
have a collection of over 900 files
of newspapers which have been
presented to us and we should like
to add a complete file of your pa-

Naturally, after all the subtle
pats-on-the back for the staff of
the Gossip, they got the file.
Aside from the compliments im-
plied, it is a splendid work that the
library is doing in gathering these
papers together. It stands to rea-

Prayer Book Sad Relic
of Marie Antoinette
A little prayer book has attracted
more than a million visitors during
the last half century to Calons-
sur-Marne In France, a spot remem-
bered by many an A. E. F. soldier.
The prayer book in the Calons li-
brary belonged to Marie Antoinette
and contains the farewell message
which she wrote to her children on
October 16, 1793, n few hours be-
; fore she mounted the scaffold. The
| message reads:
“A 4:30 o’clock in the morning.
| My God! Have pity upon me! My
eyes are filled with tears as I weep
for you, my poor, dear children.
Farewell! Farewell! Marie An-
toinette.”
| Following the queen's execution
Robespierre hid the prayer book
in his bed, but after he, too, became
| a victim of the revolution it passed
; | into other hands. Finally, in 1885,
it was given to the Chalons library.
The book is a fine example of
the bookbinder’s art and was print-
ed In 1757, being given to Marie
Antoinette about 20 years later.

Art of Early Indians
Indians in Central America used i
anesthetics long before Columbus |
made his voyage of discovery, and j
were acquainted with the funda-
mentals of mathematics long before 1
white men learned them, according
to Gregory Mason, American explor- I
er and archeologist. “How many 1
Americans realize,” Mason asked,
"that the Toltecs built a pyramid
three times as great in bulk as the
largest in Egypt, that the Peru-
vians made tapestries finer than
any of Europe, and that the Mayans
invented zero 600 years before the
Hindus—which means that the Ma-
yans were able to multiply and di-
vide 1,000 years before Europeans
could. The red-skinned natives of
Yucatan, whom Cortez called ‘bar-
barians,' were better astronomers
than the Europeans, and had a cal-
endar far more accurate than the
one Columbus was using, and in
some ways even superior to the one
we use today."

The Use of "Ye"
The “y" when used in "ye,” real-
ly stands for the Anglo-Saxon let-
ter called "thorn," which was sound-
ed like our "th" and somewhat re-
sembled the “y” in appearance. By
the beginning of the Fourteenth
I century this letter had fallen out
of general use and was replaced
by the “y” In such words as "ye”
for “the” and “yat" for •'that."
In the phrase "Ye Olde Curio
| Shoppe” "Ye” should be pronounced
“The." The spelling "shoppe" is
given by Webster as an archaic or
affected variation of “shop".; In for-
mer times there was greater lati-
tude in spelling than exists today
and such spellings as "olde" and
“shoppe” were common.
Eggs Laid by Fish
The maximum number of eggs
laid by fish varies greatly, but in
allocases the number increases with
| the weight and age of the fish.
| Thus it has been calculated that
i the number laid by the salmon is
i roughly about 1,000 to every pound
I weight of the fish. The sturgeon
lays about 7,000,000; the herring,
50,000; the turbot, 14,311,000; the
sole, 134,000; the perch, 280,000.
Briefly, the number is greatest
where, the risks’of destruction are
greatest.
Bergamot Mint Scent Strong
Mentha citrata, the Bergamot
mint, has a strongly lemonlike scent
combined with Aistinet mintyness.
Probably it would not go well in
Juleps, but it is an’excellent plant
’ to have growing not too near and
| not too far from the evening area of
| repose. The scent seems stronger
and more penetrating than most
mints.
