The repairs, estimated to cost $158,000, are underway at the yard of the Keystone Drydock and Ship Repair Company, Philadelphia. After completion of the repairs, the vessel will be towed to a site on the Delaware River between Market and Chestnut Streets in historic old Philadelphia where she will be landlocked and placed on public exhibition a few blocks from Independence Hall. Part of the vessel will be used to house a Marine Museum. Philadelphia is one of the few ports which does not at present have uch a museum. "It is fitting that the propeller of this gallant old ship should provide the means of helping to rescue her from the scrap heap and preserve her for future generations as a symbol of one of our nation's greatest and most meaningful naval victories," Pastorius said. "I hope that the public will respond to our appeal and contribute to the fund to pay for repairs to the vessel. In the years to come, I am confident liexall Druggist Gets .Mortar, Pestle Trophy Albert Veltri owner of the L. A. Drug here, is one of a selected group of Rexall druggists to receive the new Mortar and Pestel trophy, presented by the Rexall Drug Co. as an annual award to outstanding memkor druggists. The award is an authentic replica cf a mortar and pestle dating back to Spain in the 15th century. It was presented Tuesday by Rexall Representative Cal Walker, at the L. & A. Drug. The historical mortar and pestle, still an important implement in the druggist's profession, is an ancient symbol of pharmacy. Its use for pulverizing medical herbs is recorded in the histories of ancient Egyptians, Hebrews of Biblical times and the Roman era. The 1957 trophy award carries the lace of Medusa, Queen of the Gorgons, on all (four quarters. Tales of Medu?a abound in Greek mythology, the most famous being the story cf Perseus who cut off her head. The myth was that anyone who looked on her face would be turned to stone. Antique mortars and pestles with distinctive characteristics are widely sought by collectors, often bringing as much as $1500 and more for an unusual speci & Btr value, and certainly, for most Americans they will have a sentimental and patriotic value." The Olympia has floated, in such poor condition that public visiting was prohibited, in a back channel of the Philadellast phia Naval Base since heroccavoyage in 1921. On that sion she carried home from France, for burial at Arlington Cemetery, Virginia, the body of America's "Unknown Soldier" of World War I. The Keystone Drydock and Ship Repair Company has agreed to make the necessary repairs to the Olympia "subject to future reimbursement by Additional the Association." funds will be needed to equip the vessel as a shrine and museum. Persons wishing to make a contribution and obtain a coin or coins should address their letters "Olympia, Philadelphia 3, Penna.", enclosing a check or money order drawn to the order of the Cruiser Olympia Associait Pennsyltion, Inc., a vania Corporation. Under a ruling of the Internal Revenue Department, contributions to the Cruiser Olympia Association, Inc., are tax deductible.

Son Robert Ballew and wife motored from Nevada to take her home h is one of the gayest of the parties. With a radiant bride, a bevy of excited bridesmaids, and a beautiful table set with gracious care, this can be an occasion for wonderful memories. A rhythmic table setting establishes the mood, with a traditionally bridal color scheme of pink, rose and white. The first tiny roses of the season strike a dominant color note, set in a tall white vase, and arrayed as a Victorian bouquet. The dainty Melmac dinnerware repeats the theme with the exquisite Patio Rose design against a white background. A full blown rose, a bud and a leaf spray appear on the luncheon plates. The color note is picked up in the round pink bowls flanking the centerpiece, which contain, appropriately, pink and white mints. Pink coffee cups complete the harmonious picture. Beneath the centerpiece, an oval Melmac platter in the same pattern is used to hold the tiny boxes, flecked with floral decoration, for the bridesmaids gifts.
