T GREAT FETE URGED | BY SENATORFESS 200th Birthday Anniversary! of Gen. Washington Grips Interest of Nation, He Says. A nation-wide celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, culminating on the birth- day of the First President in February, 1932, in Washington and extending through every city and hamlet in the United States, is urged by Senator Simeon D. Pess of Ohio. 131 the first part of a paper printed in the current issue of the D. A. R. Magazine, dealing with the plans of the Washington Bi- centennial Commission. “The official commission created by an act of Congress has been at work for four years receiving suggestions,” Scnator _Fess, commission chairman, says. “The members of the commission are convinced that there should and will be provided the greatest celebra- tion in the history of this or any other country in honor of a leader. Presi- dent Coolidge delivered an address which was a call to the Nation to get ready for the event. Congress memo- rialized the States to create State com- missions to direct _the States' part in the celebration. Most of the States report a decision to properly observe | the anniversary in a suitable commemo- ration. The leaders of the national in its various activities have heartily in- dorsed the idea.” Reviewing the political career of | Washington and paying a tribute to | the wisdom of the man who was_able to combine in his first cabinet the lead- ers of two groups of dissimilar opin- ions—one in favor of centralized gov- ernment and the other in favor of local self-government—in the _persons _ of Hamilton and Jefferson, Senator Fess outlines the main features of the bicen- tennial celebration. Proposing _that each State hold a State celebration un- der the direction of the governor or his representatives, he says: “The climax will naturally be reached in the Capital City which he founded. Reading Course for Schools. “The commission recommends that the schools direct the pupils to a course of reading on Washington: that the ministry call especial attention to the moral and intellectual qualities of Wash- ington: that the press conduct sym- posiums on his life and character; that public-spirited men offer prizes for the best essays on the subject: that the va- rious associations of whatever character devote a part of their program in their national conventions to the significance ©of Washington in 1932. “It would be an advantage if in the years of 1930, 3931 or 1932 Washington would be selected as the meeting place of the national convention of each assc- ciation of national significance. A visit to Mount Vernon and if possible to ‘Wakefield should be a part of the pro- gram of each convention. These threc years should be a climax beginning with February, 1930, with a pronouncement of the President, broadcast over the Nation and throughout the world. This should be foliowed by preparation for the more elaborate observances in 1931, to insure by 1932 participation by every channel of intelligence—the pulpit, ra- dio station, motion picture house, school, platform and every agency of public education. By 1931 the Nation, having thought on Washington, should be Washington-minded and ready to do honor to his memory in 1932 as was never done for any personality in secu- ry. 2 “The year 1932 should witness a se- ries of celebrations. A special com- memoration program should be put on at each place marked by an historic event connected with Washington. Such special celebrations would be held in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Tren- ton, Cambridge, Yorktown, Pittsburgh, Each place bearing the name of Here is that amazing new electrical cooker that boils, poaches and scram- bles eggs right at the breakfast table, every one done just right, without timing or watching.
