CONGRESS W AIKEN IV ' [ KARL STEFAN Washington Memorial Days In states like Nebraska, the scars of the “Civil War” or the “War of Rebellion” or the “War between the States,” are pretty much healed, but here in Washington which is considered part of the South, those wounds are re-opened frequently. Just across the river in Alexandria there is a large monument erected in memory of confederate soldiers. Around that statue each year, on ; May 15, “Confederate Memorial Day” is observed. Members from the South eulogize the heroism of the confederate soldiers and noth ing is said of the heroism of the Yankee. On our own Memorial Day, May 30th, the ceremonies are numerous but the main one is held now in Ar lington Cemetery where is located the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Tribute* is paid to the memory of the men who preserved this Union of States. Washington has many cemeteries and impressive memorial services are held in most of them. The flor al tributes are profuse. The one ceremony that seems to attract most attention is the one held by a few surviving veterans of the Civil War at the impressive memorial erected to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. The mnjestic figure of the Great Emancipator faces the Mall and looks past the Washington Monument to the dome of the Capi tol of our country. The few aged veterans of the Civil War usually place a simple wreath at the base of the Lincoln statue. These old-timers know the snd and lonesome life led by Lincoln in this town. Those who frequently visit the room in which he died, usually leave with tears in their eyes. Memorial Day in Washing ton usually concentrates on the purpose of that occasion—to honor the memory of those who helped to preserve this nation in the war be tween the states.

F A C T S F A V O R F O R D V M The 1939 Ford V*8 is a beautiful* modern motor ear. Its 83-horsepower engine gives you economical* well-balanced performance over the entire speed range — and the 60 horsepower engine is even more economical. 2 The structural strength of the Ford car — frame, bracing* axles, body — makes not only for safety* but durability and long life. t/ Ford hydraulic brakes are exceptionally large and strong in proportion to car weight. 4 The Ford car is stabilized for comfortable riding. Its springbase, the distance between front and rear suspension, is 123 inches. Seats are toward the center, perfectly balanced. The car does not bob or dip and can have very little sway. A A A These four points — power, strength, safety, comfort — are by far the most important essentials in any motor car. They form the basic value of your investment. With this solid foundation to build on, the Ford V-8 has been made beautiful, spacious, easy to drive. It is richly upholstered and has all the modern features which add to the lux ury and pleasure of motoring. You can see these things when you take a trial drive, hut do not forget that the main value is in the things you do not readily see — quality of materials, precision of manufacture, fundamental engineering.
