There they will build boats from logs hewn in the forest and launch them on the Youghiogheny river. They will guide their crude craft down that stream and the Monongahela to its junction with the Allegheny at Pittsburgh where the two rivers form the "Beautiful Ohio." Then they will float down that historic waterway until they reach the city of Marietta, Ohio, with April 7 of next year as the official date for their arrival. From Marietta the party will proceed by ox team throughout the six states of the Old Northwest. Each night, while the caravan is traveling, a pageant depicting eight of the critical episodes in our nation's history will be presented. Showing within easy driving distance of nearly half of the nation's population this "living picture" will thus bring to the public the dramatic story of the settlement of the Old Northwest. Crisis at Newburgh. In reality that story goes back to the year 1783 when George Washington's Continental army lay in camp at Newburgh, N. Y., wearily awaiting the news that would send the soldiers home and also send them out into an uncertain future. Their homes and farms had been neglected or wrecked by the ravages of war. The only money in circulation was the paper issued by the Continental congress and in those days "not worth a Continental" was'more than a byword. It was a stark reality, as these men knew only too well. To the soldiers who had richly earned a reward there remained but one thing land land beyond With Timothy the mountains. Pickering as their scribe, 283 officers and men prepared a petition providing for such land. Known to history as the "Pickering plan," or "Army plan," it embodied humanitarian principles unheard of in its day, and later became the nucleus for the great Ordinance of 1787. Four years elapsed, however, before the dreams and ideals of the soldiers at Newburgh were written into the law of the land. They were four years of delay and disagreement by congress while the unsuccessful "Land Ordinance of 1785," and other measures were attempted. Tired of the bickering in congress and eager to settle in the land of untold richness beyond the Alleghenies, delegates from various counties in New England met at the Bunch of Grapes tavern in Boston on March 1, 1786. A committee consisting of Cutler, Rufus Putnam, and Man-esse- others drafted a plan of association. Two days later the plan was complete and the "Ohio Company of Associates" was formed. Capitalized at a million dollars, the fund was to be devoted to the purchase of lands northwest of the Ohio river. Cutler was employed to act as agent and make a contract with congress for a body of land in the "Great Western Territory of the h A century and a half ago the great area north and west of the Ohio river, which came under the provisions of this ordinance, was a vast wilderness, overrun by hostile Indians, and a small, but growing number, of illegal American "squatters." Cutler, doing yeoman service for the Ohio company, contracted to purchase a million and a half acres at one d dollar per acre. was to be deducted from this for lands and expenses of sur veying. By making the purchase with public securities, worth only twelve cents on the dollar, the actual purchase price was ap proximately eight cents an acrel The tract was bounded on the east by the Seven Ranges alOne-thir- le survive during the next winter they must reach the new land in time to break ground and plant crops in the early spring. ConesTraveling by toga wagon and on foot they plodded toward their goal. At mountain the snow was so deep that Rufus Putnam records in his diary of the trip their abandonment of the wagons and the building of sleds, while the men tramped down the snow ahead of the oxen. Through howling mountain blizzards they groped their way, across frozen streams, the crunch of boot on snow sounding what must have seemed to them a drumbeat of farewell to civilization. After a toilsome journey of eight weeks they reached Sum erilrs Ferry (now West Newton), Pennsylvania, on January 23. Here they paused seven weeks while, under the direction of Ship builder Jonathan Devol, they built boats to continue their jour ney by water, down the Youghiogheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers to the Muskingum. The largest boat was a galley built of heavy timber and covered witha deck roof. Named the Ad- , i Parade .

The wreck or fire caused by carelessness is just as destructive as the wreck or fire caused by deliberate intent. The number of disasters in the world due to mistakes is far greater than those due to deliberate sin. Thoughtlessness is sin.
