DESCRIBES W'MSBURG President of Restoration Board Addresses Club WEDNESDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 16, 1938 15 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Traditions of the forefathers of the Jamestown Colony were rehearsed in detail by Kenneth Chorley, president of Colonial Williamsburg, before members of the Garden Club at the Civic Club yesterday. The early struggling years of the colony, the courage, tragedy, fear, sacrifice and the stark privations of the settlers were described so that the Garden Club could appreciate and understand the setting, "just as a jewel must be placed in its proper setting to be understood and appreciated." Mr. Chorley, who directed the work of the restoration in Williamsburg, since 1928, pointed out the most important historic events.

Notable among them was the founding of the college of William and Mary, named thus for His Majesty, and on whose graduate rolls are inscribed names of four Presidents, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Tyler and George Washington. Accuracy is the keynote of the restoration, a condition laid down by John D. Rockefeller, when he consented to provide the funds for the work. "The authenticity and results of the restoration are as exact as is humanely possible," said Mr. Chorley.

"Time and expense have not been spared, and exhaustive research was conducted by a large staff. Workers were dispatched to Great Britain, and to France and still others to Rome, where public and private collections were viewed, trans scribed and assembled, and hundreds and thousands of documentary evidences were studied." One of the most important discoveries was a copper plate in England on which was engraved the plans and elevation of the three most important buildings in Williamsburg, the Governor's Palace; the Capitol and the Sir Christopher Wren building of the college of William and Mary. The copper plate was found at Ox ford. Another important discov ery was a map, known to the com' mission as the Frenchman's map, upon which were drawn the plans, elevations and sites of 150 Colo nial buildings. Each building has been found, and not six inches re moved from the original Mr.

Chorley showed a number of slides of the buildings before and after the restoration. He briefly mentioned the gardens. and said that in his opinion, the only true eighteenth century garden in bloom today is the garden at the Governor's Palace. In the display of old fashioned bouquets, conducted each month by the horticultural committee, the winner was Mrs. Robert H.

Irons, and second place winner was the entry of Mrs. Walter Spofford and Mrs. H. W. Myn ders.
