A Reverence for Past Ward Tells History Club
"The old, in a sense, has come into its own again and there is now a reverence for the past," Dr. Clarence Ward, professor of fine arts at the University of the South, told members of the History club last night.
Dr. Ward spoke on "Early American Houses and Householders." He showed colored slides of early homes in New England and the South and pointed out the various types of architecture associated with different periods in our history.
"The earliest settlers, who landed in New England, lived in caves and barrels," Dr. Ward said. He showed a picture of one of the first log houses but unlike the log cabins of later days the logs were arranged perpendicularly.
"When I speak of early American houses I mean houses built up to the time of Thomas Jefferson." he said.
Because nails were so hard to get a man would often burn his house if he was moving, so he could recover the nails and rebuild in another place. Dr. Ward said.
The settlers soon looked back to England for houses to copy, Dr. Ward said. He showed pictures of English houses with overhanging second stories and settlers' houses of the same type.
To get maximum heat, the chimney was built in the middle of the house and the windows were few in number and small in size, he said.
Carpets were so rare in New England that those who had a carpet used it for a table cover, Dr. Ward said.
Churches were beautiful and people not only lived in great elegance and beauty, but they also worshiped in it, he said.
"In the early days the churches were painted bright colors and one church claimed to be the newest, the biggest, and the yellowest church in the county," he said.
People are beginning to appreciate architecture as a true heritage and we may all learn a lesson from that early American architecture, Dr. Ward said.

Vote Slated On Labor Bill
Topeka — (U.P.)—A showdown was expected today on a right-to-work bill in Kansas.
Rep. Neal Jordan, (R-Freeport) head of the House labor committee, said a vote on forbly removing the bill from his group will be a test of "the integrity of the committee system of the Kansas legislature."
A motion was presented Tuesday by three sponsors of the controversial measure to bring it from the labor committee which has considered it since Jan. 20.
Withdrawal of a bill from a committee requires a majority of the House-63 votes.
The measure, in effect, would ban the union shop in Kansas.
Paris —(U.P.)— Two members of the Gaulist party backed out of Socialist Christian Pineau's newly formed cabinet today, but he said he still planned to seek National Assembly approval tomorrow as premier.
2 Gaullists Quit Pineau Cabinet
The two Gaullists were Gen. Edouard Corniglion-Molinier, slated as minister of justice, and Pierre Ferri, named as minister of posts and telegraphs.
Three other Gaullists were on the cabinet list and one at least may quit, too.
The Gaullists party balked yesterday afternoon at supporting the Pineau coalition but said the two men could go ahead on a personal basis. Today they decided to go along with their own party after conferring with party leaders.
Pineau needs only a simple majority in the assembly to win office, but he was given only a fair chance after the powerful rightwing spoke out against him and showed that even if he wins he will have a badly divided house.

WHAT'S THIS? For solution see paragraph below.
IT'S EASY TO SEE that the Droodle above is titled: Tired anthropologist relaxing with better-tasting Lucky behind freshly dug-up fossil. No bones about it, Luckies taste better to all sorts of people. College smokers, for instance, prefer Luckies to all other brands, according to the latest, greatest coast-to-coastest college survey. Again, the No.1 reason for Luckies' wide lead:

Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better. "It's Toasted"— the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better...cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the bettertasting cigarette ... Lucky Strike.
