Almost the only quizzes the small-payoff contests that left the trade calls “peanut” shows. But this week, after four months CoNTESTANT on the air, Air Force ASTRUE Tommy Weber & WIFE Would his luck last through Friday? Lieut. James Astrue will have proved that, given time, tenacity, and a modest amount of information, a man can still amass an astonishing amount of peanuts. Astrue started playing NBC’s Tic Tac Dough last November. When he started to win, he worked out a deal with his superiors at New Jersey’s McGuire Air Force Base. He had 70 days of accumulated leave; why not let him go to Manhattan on alternate weeks and tape his appearances in advance? That way Astrue could seem to the audience to be competing steadily, week after week, five days a week. Permission was granted. Week after week, Astrue won. Housewives, journalists, college professors—he beat them all. He did not miss too many of his tough questions and made the most of his share of the snaps. M.C. Bill Wendell asked him if it was true that Robert Hutchins was once chancellor of the University of Chicago. What are the ingredients of a martini? His opponents went down on such questions as: What city, once known as San Francisco’s bedroom, is the third largest city in California? What two states at what dates came into the U.S. before Alaska? While Astrue won, Tic Tac Dough’s Nielsen rating rose steadily. When he began this week’s competition, he had won $137,800.* But by week’s end, Lieut. James Astrue will have used up all his leave. When M.C. Wendell asks him what British adventurer explored the waters around Jamestown in 1608 and afterward the waters around New England, what will he say? Will he say John Smith and stay on the show? Or will he say Raleigh, lose his championship to one Dave Fries, and go back to duty witha check for $143,600 in his pocket? Tune in to NBC, Friday, March 20, 12 noon E.S.T. * Charles Van Doren won $129,000 on One, Elfrida Von Nardroff $220,500.

I had already lady operator and she time met said working alone she _ learned again because her husband had gone fishing, as usual. Another woman from Kilgore was full of _information 3 when I was curious about this fishing in a “tank.” It turned out that the “tank” is what we would call a fire pond or a farm pond which nearly every farm has down here, It is stocked from time to time with croppies, white perch, bass and catfish. Fishing is just the most important recre- ation of all! The Sabine River which caused such serious flooding here two years ago, passes a few miles from where we are visiting. We wanted to see, so drove to it today. It is a deep murky — swirly viver but about as wide as the Housatonic through the Berk: shires. This afternoon, a trip to Grand Saline to see the salt mine of the Morton Salt Company was our aim. We arrived there to find that daily tours are scheduled at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and it was then well after two, so we were out of luck, We did see the outside of their big plant and saw the yard of hard packed salt. On the way, we saw buzzards for the first time. They are great ugly looking birds with the wingspread of a large hawk and they soar gracefully in search of dead animals to devour, thus serving humanity as nature's clean-up squad, In the village of Grand Saline, we were amused by a sign that said ‘Skinny Hawkin’s Used Furniture Mart.’’ Nick-names are very descriptive here and many babies’ are given names for life that iortherners wouldn't feel proper outside the family circle. Another’ sign advertised “Hog that I had been out there to see the oil fieds. She had been born and brought up there. I asked her if the lives of people there were radically Jowls”’ for 19¢ a pound.

He surveyed it and a multiple arch dam, the largest of its kind at the time it was built, was designed for the site. A member of the class of 1909S at Yale, Mr. Bartlett will be coming East in June for the 50th reunion of his class. He will visit friends and relatives in Worthington at that time. We were interested to find out from Mr. Bartlett that a classmate of his, Raymond Cleveland now: of Prescott, Ariz, and a man with Worthington connections, has had a hand in digging the shaft for the elevators at Carlsbad Caverns. Mr. Cleveland was a nephew of the late Charlie Kilbourn of Worthington, ané worked at Carlsbad under Charles Dunning who was in Mr. Bartlett’s class at Yale. .

Hamlin, 79 , who had been the beloved pastor of the Payson church of Easthampton 28 years, when he retired and moved to this town, died this -morning at a hospital in Farmington; Me. He went with hi sdaughter, Miss Margaret Hamlin, early In this month to Farmington, where h e became ill. He had been at th e h os pital but a short time when he died in his s leep.

At the time of Mr Hamlin's 26th anniversary in 1910, the principal speaker was former Gov Curtis Guild, who paid high tribute to Mr Ham,l l~'s service. "For 25 years," he said, "Charles H. Hamlin has been a minis• , ter to the spiritual needs of this con- . gregation and in the truest sense qf the word, the pastor of his church- 1 - For as a shepherd Is the leader of his · . flock, so· has this clergyman, In this I b eautiful valley, beloved and beautiful ' 1 eve n in colonial days, been a pastor, a shepherd of men, as were his predecessors, when this wai; no tranquil hamlet, but the very fronter of civil• I ization." 1 Rev Dr P. s. Moxom, then a prom!- . , nent pastor In Springfield, said that Mr · j Hamlin was a man who "profoundly , b e li eves in the comprehensive mission of the church. Mr Hamlin's name is . known (and in some quarters whole- I somely feared) all over the commonjwea lth. His successful -efforts to abol,ish a great evil (referring to race track pool sell!ng) make part of its recent history. His d evotion to a high I , c ivic ideal has been inspiration to followers and fello\y workers and has , exerted an influence wider than .he 1 s uspects. His practical belief that 1 'clcanliness is next to godliness' and his broad Interpretation of cleanliness have worked str ongly for a cleaner and sounder s ocia l life. He has ear ned the confidence and esteem of the best / elemen ts in the . community and com- I pelled the respect of all ; it haii earned , for him the love and loyal support of the church for which he has so long been a leader." [ It was said of Mr Hamlin, when a I student, that he was wa.rned not to 1 go to Germany to study unless he wanted to become an infide l, 'but he promptly went to Germany, where exp os nre s imply toughened the fiber of hi., c onvic tions. . 1 H.ev Mr Hamlin served for years as I a valued member of the board -of trus- / 1 tee,i of Williston seminary at Easth ;,. mpt.on, and Prc;,f C.

As the scrapbooks are scanned and optically character recognized, additional scrapbooks will be added to the collection. There are several scrapbooks in the archive that have not been digitized; those are not members of this collection. Some of these items are bound books and others loose-leaf binders.

Sometimes called a Restoration chair because it was one of the new furniture ideas brought from Holland by Charles II when he returned to England in 1660 after the unhappy Cromwellian dictatorship, the first Englishmade examples arrived here in|* the 1680s, Very Ornate imported chairs were of]. and often very ornate These walnut with their elaborately carved backs, front legs and stretchers. A new touch also was the use of cane for seat and panel of the high back. A product of the Ma- lay Islands, this stripped bark of rattan had been discovered and brought to Europe by Portuguese navigators a century and a half before, One of the imported chairs, still in existence, is known as the William Penn chair because reputed to have been brought from England in 1699 by this eminent Quaker on his second trip to his Pennsylvania colony. Its narrow cane back panel is framed earving by handsome openwork and surmounted by an openwork cresting of C-scrolls, such as one finds on mirror frames in the later Chippendale period. There is also a matching openwork carved front stretcher, A beautiful chair, more ‘for ornament than hard use, Ameriean cabinetmakers received a fair number of orders for one or more from wealthy colonists. As usual the. order included a request that the piece be in keeping with the social and economic station of its owner but somewhat plainer as to decorative detail. The result, in New England at least, was a chair much like the one illustrated. It followed the outlines of the Penn and other imported chairs but carv- ing was apt to be limited to the cresting above the caned panel and sometimes on the _ front Stretcher. Otherwise turnings prevailed with vase, baJuster and urn shapes the usual motifs. The The New England Cane armchair dates between 1700 and 1720 and is typical of the simpler type made in Ameriea during these years. Originally painted, wood is probably .maple or fruit wood. Note carved cresting of back and Flemish serolled front feet. arms were simple downward cyma curves, flaring slightly outward, like those on the chair shown here, This chair is one of the plainer American-made examples and dates about 1710. Back uprights. and cane framings are plain! with grooving. Front stretcher is turned as are the other parts. It is, in fact, similar to a maple chair of Massachusetts proynance, once owne dby John Hancock. The latter chair now has upholstery instead of the usual cane seat and back, a detail often occurring where material as perishable as cane was used, Plain or elaborate, only a limited number of these chairs were made between 1690 and 1720, the years in which they were in fa-; \ vor, They were expensive show pieces and were treated accordingly. That is why a few of them are still around and are still expensive. | { �T9ST. ® - We Text of President’s Inaugural Address Washington, Jan, 21 (P — Following is the prepared text of | President Eisenhower’s second inaugural address today: THE PRICE OF PEACE We meet again, as upon a like moment four “years ago, and }again you have witnessed my sol}emn oath of service to you. | I, too, am a witness, today testi- \fying in your name to the ciples and purposes to which }as a people, are pledged.

THE PRESENT CHURCH, of unusual design for New England Congregational structures, faces Huntington Road. * \ . ‘ ea �WORTHINGTON — On July 11 the First Congregational Church of Worthington will celebrate its bicentennial. The town of Worthington was incorporated in 1768 but the church was not organized until 1771. The present church building is the fourth to be erected in town. The first church, built near the corner of Sam Hill Rd. and West St., which in earliest days was the center of populationg, was a primitive building, never completely: finished. Near is was the first cemetery, There were 30 original members of this church. Nearby. on West St.. the first pastor, the Rev. Jonathon Huntington. built his home. This is still standing-and has been restored by the present owner. Mrs. Jerilee Bunce. The early meetinghouse was used for about 20 vears until the growth of membership and the change of the town's center of population called for a change. At that time, this was church the material and torn down in a incorporated new church in the rear of the village store near the present home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Q. Smith. The church increased rapidly. The population of the town was between 1,100 and 1,200 people and in those days the majority of the inhabitants were church going. The meetinghouse was the center of religious, civic and social life. New Meetinghouse Early in 1818 plans for a new meetinghouse were started, but because of dissension as to the part of town in which it should be built, it was seven years before the question was settled. The argument between the north and south parts of town was bitter and it finally became clear that outside help would have to be called in to settle the argument. Three committees worked on the problem before it was THE PARSONAGE presently in use is this large house located on Huntington Rd. finally settled. Elaborate calculations were made as to the exact center of town in regard to population, territory, value, and mileage, and the committee recommended that the new meetinghouse be built on the spot where the present church stands. In 1825 construction was started on a colonial style church. This church was built with a high steeple that was a landmark for miles around, heated by two box stoves with pipes running back. The building was along the sides used destroyed by fire. Only to a single chimney at the until April 2, 1887 when it was the large Bible and a hymn book were saved. Parts of the bell were salvaged from the ruins and sold to help raise money for a new church. Fortunately the church had $7,000 insurance which was a help in rebuilding. The present church was dedicated in 1888 under the leadership.-of -the-Rev.» Frederick Sargent. Huntington, pastor. The new church was a copy of an English church, which caused some dismay as many preferred the old colonial style. The new church features rose windows in the gable ends of the sanctuary and memorial windows along the sides. Addition Built In 1960 a two-story, four-room addition was built at the back of the building. In 1961 the church, known as the First Congregational Church of Worthington, united with the United Churchiof Chrsit. At the present time there are 182 members with a town population of 768 year-round residents. The Rev. Jerome H. Wood is now pastor, but will leave this summer to enter the teaching field. Many years ago the Women’s Benevolent Society of the church was organized. This group had as its objectives the building of the present parsonage and its upkeep. This the women did entirely until a few years ago when they deeded the parsonage to the church. They still work toward its. upkeep. Other church organizations are the Friendship Guild and an active Youth Group. | On July bicentennial. 11 the There church will be will formally a morning observe service with its Dr. Warren Wright, a summer resident of Chesterfield and widely-known orator, as guest speaker. Those attending have been urged to take a picnic lunch and eat on the lawn afterwards. The afternoon program will consist of a ‘‘Conversation” or dramatic dialogue by several of the church people, giving a look at the folks of former days as they lived 200 years ago. Dr. Warren Wright, guest speaker for the morning service, is a member of the speech department at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. He has been a professional speaker and lay preacher for 20 years. He was interim pastor for the two Cummington churches for a year and has preached in various churches in New York State. : �“THE CHURCH Of Our Fathers,’ this sketch depicts either the first or second church in Worthington, nobody seems to know which since the structures were identical.
