Plans Stone Tower For Carillon Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Washington, Aug. 4-Plans for building an enduring stone Bell Tower at Valley Forge, to house the great carillon there, were announced today by Mrs. Julius, Y. Talmadge, president general the Daughters of the American Revolution. At least $100.000 will be ralsed among D.

A. R. members for the project, Mrs. Talmadge said. Within the tower will be metal plates bearing the names not only of Revolutionary War patriots, but, also of men and women who served in World Wars I and II.

Mrs. Talmadge said: "This tower, which will last through the ages, will be dedicated not only to the Revolutionary patriots, who established the American way of life, but also to the men and women of World Wars, who have preserved that previous heritage." Details of the project were worked out by Mrs. Frank Edgar Lee of Santa Monica, historian general of the D. A. and National chairman of the project.

It is expected that construction will begin as soon as war conditions permit. All funds necessary for erecting the tall stone tower are expected to be available by Jan. 1, 1947. The bells of the carillon at present are supported by A wooden structure which was condemned years ago and which is dangerous, Mrs. Lee said.

The carillon consists of 48 bells, one for each State, and one great national birthday bell. This carillon will be one the greatest in the world. Thirty of the carillon bells were donated by various State organizations of the D. A. R.

A memorial roll of honor consisting of a wainscoting of three series of metal plates on which patriots' names will be inscribed will be placed in the tower. The first will record Revolutionary, patriots, the second and women of World Wars I and II, whose ancestors were Revolutionary soldiers, and the third patriots of two wars whose parents came to this country more recently. Over 10.000 names will be placed on the rolls, listed by States and there will also be a Gold Star list. On Sept. 16 special exercises at Valley Forge shrine will be held by the D.

A. R. members in honor of Constitution Day. Mrs. Talmadge, Mrs.

Make Laughter Louder By Aiding Seaside Home Children's Aid Society's Wave Crest Hospital Helping Youngsters Gain Health By RUTH G. DAVIS "Tears are turned to you read those words in the recent 1945 appeal of the Brooklyn Children's Aid Society for their Wave Crest Convalescent Home and Seaside Home and Hospital at Far Rockaway.

Those are not just words; they are the symbol of what fresh air, sunshine and country life can do for a youngster trying to regain health that he may take his part in the world. There are 157 children recuperating polio, undernourishment and general convalescence. They may stay at Wave Crest as long as the doctor thinks it is necessary; some may be there only a few weeks, others all Summer or for several years. At the present time, the Children's Aid Society is caring for the largest number of children at Far Rockaway since 1931. There are more accommodations in the Summer, as the cottages are open.

During Winter 86 children reside at the Home. 38 Hospitals Represented The Children's Aid Society has its own ambulances take the children to the Home from 38 hospitals in the five boroughs, from the Brooklyn Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor and the New York Association for Aid of Crippled Children. Undernourished, malnourished and sick infants also are nursed back to health. A physician is daily attendance and A pediatrician and orthopedic surgeon hold weekly clinics. Special treatments, as advised by the doctors, are given for the polio patients.

Wave Crest may sound like A hospital, but pay a visit there and you will find out that it is more like a Summer camp. The children give pageants and plays, dress up in fancy costumes, and enjoy all the fun that goes along with makebelieve. In the playhouse, 10 feet square, the little ones become very busy playing mother, washing and ironing clothes, etc. Rhythm bands keep the would musicians occupied. The adolescent crippled boys even enjoy games of baseball and basketball.

with their dog "Jackie" running for them. "Jackie" is one of the many pets. at Wave Crest and enjoys of the grounds as well as the bits of food fed to him by the children. The youngsters confined to the wards have the pleasure of watching chicks grow until the time comes that they must be sent to the chicken coop on the grounds. On cool evenings children are permitted to help with the victory garden.

Country and Seashore The 35 acres of rolling lawns, and woods, with 700 feet on the ocean front, afford a wonderful opportunity for picnic and bathing parties. Every day the children are taken to the beach and have carefully supervised swimming. some of it a part of their physiotherapy treatments. Although the salt air, ocean bathing, nourishing food, rest and play are important to the convalescing child, the cure could be effective without the loving care that is given by the staff at Wave Crest.

The patients are allowed to do what they want, stroll on the grass, pick the flowers when they feel like it and enjoy unrepressed rompinsia making all the noise they They even are permitted to bring their own pets with them, and to care for them as before.

Miss Cannon is assisted by two graduate nurses, two occupational and recreational therapists, two physiotherapists and 22 nursing attendants. The Wave Crest Auxiliary Committee, consisting of women who live nearby, give time and service in raising sums of money for presents and clothing for the children. and also spend mornings and afternoons with the chil- dren. Director On the Alert Edward W. the general director of the Children's Aid Society, is ever on the watch for new ideas, not only for the care of the youngsters but also for their entertainment.

You will see on the grounds wooden ponies, from a discarded merry-go-round. One of the children's pets, a burro called "Princess." came to Wave Crest from the World's Fair. One time Mr. Macy discovered an Indian selling patent medicine on a street corner in Far Rockaway, and in short order the general director had the Indian doing war dances for the children at Ware Crest. Aiso co-operating with the Children's Aid Society are many Brooklyn churches and their Sunday Schools.

They often have picnics on the grounds of the Home and visit with the crippled children. A Combination Has Grown The Wave Crest Convalescent Home and the Seaside Home and a Hospital (the name applied to the Summer work) were two separate institutions. The convalescent home was established on July 1, 1920, at Englewood Cliffs, N. and moved to Far Rockaway in June of 1922 at the same time the Seaside Home, which had been organized for mothers and sick babies in 1868 at Coney Island, also moved to Far Rockaway. The combination now occupies 12 buildings, has its own laundries two station wagons and two ambulances.

The original ground of Wave Crest in Coney Island was given by Alfred T. White, well-known Brooklyn philanthropist, who also selected the present site. Dr. Ruth Ingraham is the chairman of the Wave Crest Seaside Home and Hospital Committee and Guy Du Val is the president of the Children's Aid Society. Although this Home does receive some grants from the city and State, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the Greater New York Fund and some fees from parents able to pay, it depends greatly upon its benefactors for donations.
