Historic Church Plans Facilities For Newlyweds NASHUA. IOWA. Special ac commodations are being planned for honeymooning couples who are married mar-ried in the Little Brown Church in the Vale, the historical small church which was made famous by a song written before it was built. Harry Richers of Worthington, Minn., has purchased the former Bradford academy property across the street from the church. He plans to erect honeymoon cabins on the property. A photographic studio to accommodate the newlyweds and facilities for wedding dinners and receptions also are planned. The church, built in 1864. long has been DODular for wedding cere monies. The peak was reached in 1940 when 1,549 couples were mar ried. The bride and bridegroom usually ring the church bell after the ceremony, the pastor admonishing them to "pull through life together. Just as you are pulling on the bell rope." The small neat church in a pleas ant rustic setting once served the religious needs of old Bradford, a town of 600 persons two miles from here. The town died after it was bypassed by-passed by a railroad in 1868, but the song has kept the church alive. Attracted by the beauty of the site upon wmcn ine cnurcn later was built, William S. Pitts, a young vis itor from Wisconsin wrote his moving hymn, "The Little Brown Church In the Vale" in 1857. He put his manuscript away and it was forgotten. In 1864, when the church was com pleted, Pitts, who had returned to the town as a singing teacher, was asked to sing a solo at the dedication dedica-tion ceremony and he obliged with his own song written seven years before.

Will you please explain just what Is meant by "whipping boy," as in the statement by Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach that "an attempt at-tempt is being made to make labor the 'whipping boy' for the high cost of living"? E. I. LAI -I A. This expression goes back to an old custom among royal families of providing youthful princes with boy companions of their own age. The companion was educated with the prince; and when the royal youngster got out of hand. It was the companion, or whipping boy, who received the punishment, the Idea being that the prince's person was inviolable. Today, whipping boy means a scapegoat; one who is accused of the misdeeds of another. Q. Will you please trace the origin af the verb to lynch? Mrs. R. S. A. It is now generally accepted that the word lynch is ' strictly American In origin. Capt William Lynch, or Charles Lynch (1742-1820), commanded a Virginia volunteer regiment with General Green at the battle ot Guilford Guil-ford court house. During the disorganized disor-ganized conditions accompanying the American Revolution, he set himself up as judge of an unofficial court to punish the lawlest. His taking the law in his own bands became a national scandal "Captain Lynch, now residing in Oolenoy Creek, S. C, was the author of the Lynch laws so frequently fre-quently carried into effect in violation viola-tion of every principle of justice and lurisprudence." Matthews. There are numerous references to Lynch' s law In the various AmerV can authorities. Bell Syndicate. WNU fgaturee, mm . mmmsm m WHY NOT knit yourself somt pretty new gloves for thest frosty days.
