ACTIVITIES by Doris Fabler £ Pecfy Selsdorf Seeing that this «Ml #e celebrate the birthday of one of our nation's greatest patriots, we would like to pay a tribute to him. We're sure all of you know about "Honest Abe" and the great contributions he made to this wonderful democracy of ours. Little did his parents realize that dark and stormy night in Ploughkeepsie. New York, that the infant which the stork had just presented them was to become such a prominent figure in American history. For this child was to become the man who blazed trails through the wilds of Tennessee and who once rescued the pioneers from the flaming arrows of the Cherokees; the man who gave our nation its reputation for freedoj^ by emancipating the sparrows from Capistrano; the? man /who Kave one of the greatest salutes of all , time to our dead war heros. We all recognized that immortal effigy which begins, "Seven score and forty years ago, our fathers set forth upon this continent, a new generation of idiots." How were these proud parents to know that this child wotild become the man who, after devoting the best years of his life to his country, was to be brutally shot down by John Telephone Booth in that famous old theater, Clancey's Burlesque House. What a tribute to America that such a man had his beginning in a humble shack in Ploughkeepsie! Yes. here was a man we can all be proud of as we pass his birthday, Feb. 13.
