$200000 1S NEEDED FOR OLD IRONSIDES Rear Admiral Andrewév Plans | Final Drive to Complete Restoration of Ship. With approximately $200,000 needed | to complete the restoration of the old frigate Constitution, better known as “Old Ironsides,” Rear Admiral Philip | Andrews, chairman of the National Bave “Old Ironsides” committee, has issued a statement of the affairs of the committee “for the information of | those who have contributed to the fund | and as a possible incentive to those who | have not as yet learned of the patrioti campaign to rehabilitate the famou old ship to contribute. Rear Admiral Andrews, in accompanying his statement, he and his committee feel the educa tional aim of the project has been ac. complished as far as is practicable, without incurring excessive expense, and they are therefore launching a final| drive to complete the fund. Stating| that approximately $200,000 is needed, | he adds: “We hope to raise this sum by means of larger donations from those of our people who can afford to give them.” Work 63 Per Cent Completed. According to the statement, $401, has been spent on “Old Ironsides. ‘There is a balance on the committee books of $93,783, with the restoratio of the famous old vessel approximately 63 per cent completed. | Donations of material for “Old Iron- sides’ " restoration, according to Ad- miral Andrews, have been liberal, some of which have not been counted in as assets, and other such donations are confidently hoped for by the commit- | tee. On hand there are assets valued At $201.542, including the pictures of | the Constitution which have been priced at below selling cost, souvenirs made from parts of the old ship h have been removed in the process of I incidental items THE SUNDAY STAR 'WASHINGTON’ ROOKIES REPORT AT FORT WASHINGTO Army surgeons examining Citizens' Military Training Camp recruits as they arrived at Fort Washington yesterday afternoon. used in the campaign or in the making of souvenirs. He points out if these assets could be converted into cash the sum necessary for restoration would | be just abofit realized. The campaign has largely been car- ried on through the sale of pictures of the ship, accompanied by an historical | | publication telling something of the early history of this country and of the xploits of the Constitution. Campaign of Educational Value, Admiral Andrews believes that this sort of campalgn has been of inestima- ble value in education of the populac in the early history of the country and in its effect of instilling greater patriotism in the youth of the land. The time has come now, however, Admiral Andrews believes, (o complete the fund and bring the restoration of Old Ironsides” to completion. It is expected to complete the work some time next year and then the ship wi manned and nt all over e United States so that the people may see her, a floating monument to the early Navy.
