**The Poetry Archive** is a free, web-based library formed to hold recordings of English language poets reading their own work. The Archive holds over 20000 poems and keeps the recordings safe and accessible so that current and future visitors can enjoy them. Each poet's work is surrounded by contextual information and biographies and has become a treasured resource for anyone looking for poetry.

The Poetry Archive was founded by recording producer Richard Carrington and poet Andrew Motion, during his appointment as UK Poet Laureate in 1999 and is now led by Director Tracey Guiry. Recordings of contemporary work began in 2000 and the first website went live in 2005. The Poetry Archive is a not-for-profit registered UK charity.

## Formation and development

The archive was established as a web-based library to ensure that the oral record of modern poets is not lost, as it has been with writers such as Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence and A. E. Housman whose voices were never recorded, despite the technology being available at the time. The resource is built on the idea that poets have a unique relationship with their own work and are often able to communicate the nuance, musicality and subtlety of it, with a deeper understanding than actors. Texts to the poems and other resources are available but the poet's voice is the main concern of the site. Motion has stated "To hear the speed at which a poet reads, to hear their accent, to hear how they inflect their voice, to hear how they create a space around their words - or don't - all add to our using of what the meaning of poem might be." Contemporary studio recordings for the project began in 2000, shortly after Motion was appointed a Poet Laureate, and the site went live in 2005. Most of the recordings are created especially for the Archive and these are augmented by some classic poems read by well-known readers. New recordings are regularly added and there is also a download store which allows people to purchase and download audio poetry directly from the website.

In the first year, the site had 500,000 visitors, building to over 1.5 million annual users in 2008, nearly 2 million in 2009 and over 3 million in its 20th year of recording. The project continues to be funded by the National Lottery, government grants and private donors.

The current president is Sir Daniel Day-Lewis. The previous president was the late poet Seamus Heaney

## Content

In May 2019 the Children's Poetry Archive site launched a website designed for children to explore and enjoy As of July 2020, the readings of over 550 poets are available on the two sites, with content searchable by title, author, theme, and form. Historic recordings available on the archive include Alfred Tennyson (recorded by Thomas Edison 1890), Robert Browning (1889), Rudyard Kipling (1921) W. B. Yeats (1932) and Langston Hughes (1955). Contemporary writers include Seamus Heaney, Billy Collins, Carol Ann Duffy and John Ashbery.

The work of New Zealand Allen Curnow was recorded shortly before his death in 2001, one of the first to be archived. Cornish poet Charles Causley gave a reading aged 86, in the year before he died in 2003. Motion commented:

> It's a fantastically powerful recording that was done a matter of days before his death. It doesn't show on the recording, but Richard, who made the recording, said that between each poem Charles broke down and wept, and had to gather himself. He knew that he was dying. He was saying goodbye to each of his poems. If you only listen to one of the poems on the website, listen to "Eden Rock". It's a great poem and he reads it so beautifully and introduces it so touchingly.

In 2006 historic readings by Dylan Thomas, Ted Hughes and Walter de la Mare, were added. That same year, the project worked with the BBC to archive rare readings by Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves and Philip Larkin. In 2008 over 60 American recordings were archived on the site, in collaboration with the Poetry Foundation, based in Chicago. Readers include Ted Kooser, Robert Pinsky, and Philip Levine. The Children's ARchive also includes work by poets such as Roald Dahl, Spike Milligan, Michael Rosen. The website also features collections of classic poetry being read by contemporary poets and famous British voices, including Helen Mirren, Stephen Fry, Judi Dench and Alan Rickman.

The archive also includes extensive material for teachers and students, including glossaries, biographies and lesson plans that integrated as a school resource.

# Henry August Rowland House

The **Henry August** (or **Augustus**) **Rowland House** is a historic row house at 915 Cathedral Street in Baltimore, Maryland. Built in the 1880s, this nondescript row house is historically important as the home of physicist Henry Augustus Rowland (b. 1846) from 1889-90 until his death in 1901. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.

## Description and history

The Henry August Rowland House is located on the north side of Baltimore's Mount Vernon neighborhood, at the northeast corner of Cathedral and Brexton Streets. It is the southern of two adjacent row houses, which are typical of brick rowhouses built in the fashionable residential area in the 1880s. It is three stories in height, built out of red brick, and topped by a flat roof with a projecting carved wooden cornice. It is three bays wide, with the entrance in the rightmost bay, sheltered by an elaborate surround toppedy a shallow projecting bracketed hood. The building interior was reported in 1975 to be in good condition, with original features including a working dumbwaiter.

Rowland purchased the house in 1889 or 1890 and lived there until his death in 1901. His wife and daughter continued to live there after his death. He was educated as a physicist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and in Germany, and was hired in 1876 by Daniel Coit Gilman to help build the physics department of Johns Hopkins University. His achievements include advancements in tools and understanding of magnetism, and the development of a formula for translating heat into mechanical work. His best known work is in the development of a high-precision diffraction grating for doing spectral analysis. Isaac Asimov characterized Rowland as "one of the few important 19th century American physicists."

# Greenwood–Leflore Airport

**Greenwood–Leflore Airport** (IATA: **GWO**, ICAO: **KGWO**, FAA LID: **GWO**) is a public airport located seven miles east of Greenwood, the county seat of Leflore County, Mississippi, United States. It is owned by the City of Greenwood and Leflore County, but is geographically located in Carroll County.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a *general aviation* facility. There are no scheduled airline flights.

## History

### World War II

Greenwood Airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces as a basic flight training airfield. **Greenwood Army Airfield** was the home of the 7th Basic Flying Training Group (BFT), and assigned to the Eastern Flying Training Command.

As built the base had four 5,000-by-150-foot (1,524 m × 46 m) runways and a 50-acre (20 ha) concrete parking apron. The pavement required was the equivalent of 65 miles (105 km) of two-lane highway. In addition, there were rail lines which were used to deliver gasoline and oil as well as coal and freight. On occasion, a troop train would venture onto the base to deliver or pick up cadets. There were 375 buildings, including; three fire stations, a 170-bed hospital, theater, chapel, recreation halls, post exchanges, mess halls, warehouses, barracks, a photo lab, parachute building, hangars, a sub depot, link trainer buildings, ground schools, a large swimming pool and myriad of other buildings necessary to run a ‘small city.’

Because of a housing shortage, the Army later added several hundred apartment units known as Greenaire Homes. They were home for many enlisted men and their dependents as well as civilian workers. The airfield had many auxiliary landing fields to support pilot training:

Greenwood AAF was also home to a contingent of Women's Army Service Pilots (WASPs). These women were rated to fly everything from B-24s to fighters. During the peak of basic training activities, the airfield averaged about 36,000 operations per month and the aircraft consumed millions of gallons of aviation gasoline annually.

The original mission of Greenwood Army Air Field (GAAF) was Basic Flight Training and the base was home to several hundred Consolidated Vultee BT-13 and BT-15 Valiants. The BT's trained thousands of fledgling military aviators. As basic training evolved, various twin-engine trainers such as the Cessna AT-17 and AT-8, and the Beechcraft AT-10 Wichita were brought into the inventory in an effort to make the transition to advanced twin-engine schools easier. This idea never fully developed and the aircraft were stored in serviceable condition. The field also had the usual complement of Noorduyn Norseman UC-64s, Cessna UC-78s and C-45 Expeditors.

On December 18, 1944 the Eastern Flying Training Command turned the field over to the Third Air Force 4th Operational Training Unit (OTU). The 590th Army Air Force Base Unit was reassigned to Greenwood AAF from Brownsville Army Airfield Texas. The arrival of the 4th OTU brought two new missions to GAAF. The BTs were replaced with AT-6 Texans and scores of fighters, including the P-51, P-47, P-38 and P-63, which were used for fighter transition training. A C-47 instrument school was also introduced and more than 20 C-47s were based at the field. Other aircraft assigned to GAAF included a B-17E Flying Fortress, several B-25 Mitchells and an L-5 Sentinel. Third Air Force operated the airfield until flight training ceased in late 1945 and the base was placed in caretaker status until being turned over to the city of Greenwood by the War Assets Administration. As late as 1948, the Army and War Assets Administration maintained a fire station and a small contingent to look after the dormant air base.

### Postwar history

For the next 21 years the base was abandoned and most of the wartime buildings disappeared. In 1967, the city of Greenwood made a decision to relocate the Greenwood Municipal Airport to the abandoned Army Air Field. Runway 5/23 was lighted and placed in use. Weeds were removed from the miles of expansion joints on the otherwise intact ramp and a new rotating beacon was installed. At that time, only sixteen of the wartime structures included the old sub depot remained. At the time the airport was relocated, a new FAA Flight Service Station was constructed. Eventually, runway 18/36 was repaired and outfitted with new high-intensity runway lighting and an Instrument Landing System with MALSR. In 1989 a control tower was commissioned, and in the early 1990s runway 18/36 was lengthened to 6,503 feet and strengthened to accommodate wide-body aircraft.

## Facilities

Greenwood–Leflore Airport covers 816 acres (330 ha) at an elevation of 155 feet (47 m). It has two asphalt runways: 18/36 is 6,501 by 150 feet (1,982 x 46 m); 5/23 is 5,011 by 150 feet (1,527 x 46 m).

In the year ending March 14, 2012 the airport had 42,116 aircraft operations, average 115 per day: 87% general aviation, 10% military, and 3% air taxi. 57 aircraft were then based at the airport: 53% single-engine, 21% helicopter, 16% multi-engine, 5% jet, and 5% glider.

## Users

## Redevelopment plans

All rail freight in and out of this terminal is moved on a single standard gauge track that crosses Daddow Road, and this level crossing has become a congestion headache for road users in the industrial area. In November 2005 the Federal Government announced it had allocated $11.5 million for the construction of an overpass at the level crossing. Now it is completed.

Rail operators Aurizon, Pacific National and Transwa share common sections of the yard which can also lead to congestion. Apart from the departure road, the yard is unsignalled. Track occupation of the common sections - north service road, eastern diagonal, and western diagonal - is manually managed by radio communications with Arc Infrastructure Eastern Train Control.

# G. Raymond Satchler

**George Raymond "Ray" Satchler** (14 June 1926, London, UK – 28 March 2010, Shelton, Washington, U.S.) was a British-American nuclear physicist.

## Biography

After serving from 1944 to 1948 the Royal Air Force, Satchler studied at the University of Oxford, where he graduated in 1951 with a B.A. and an M.A. and in 1955 with a doctorate in physics. His thesis advisor was John Ashley Spiers. As a postdoc Satchler was from 1956 to 1957 a research associate at the University of Michigan and from 1956 to 1959 a research fellow at Imperial Chemical Industries. He was a physicist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, from 1959 to 1996, when he retired. From 1994 to 2005 he was a professor at the University of Tennessee. He was the author or co-author of over 275 papers.

Satchler was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1961. In 1976 he was named a Corporate Fellow of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which at that time was operated by the Union Carbide Corporation under a contract with the U.S. federal government. In 1977 he received, jointly with Stuart Thomas Butler, the Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics for "their discovery that direct nuclear reactions can be used to determine angular momenta of discreet nuclear states and for their systematic exploitation of this discovery permitting the determination of spins, parities and quantitative properties of nuclear wave functions."

In Yorkshire in 1948 Satchler married Margaret Patricia "Pat" Enid Gibson. Upon his death he was survived by two daughters and a grandson.

# Henry Augustus Buchtel

**Henry Augustus Buchtel** (September 30, 1847 – October 22, 1924) was an American minister, educator, and public official. He was the seventeenth governor of Colorado.

## Life and career

Henry Augustus Buchtel was born near Akron, Ohio on September 30, 1847, the son of Jonathan B. Buchtel, a physician, and Eliza Newcomer Buchtel. Within a couple of years of his birth, his parents relocated their family to Elkhart, Indiana. Henry was a younger cousin of John Richards Buchtel, the founder in 1870 of Buchtel College (later the University of Akron). In 1871, Henry's older brother, William, married Helen Barnum, a daughter of P. T. Barnum.

He graduated from Indiana Asbury (now DePauw) University in 1872 and was ordained to the Methodist Episcopal ministry. He married Mary Stevenson on February 4, 1873. The couple moved to Bulgaria where they served as missionaries from April until August 1873 when his wife's deteriorating health forced their return to the United States. Over the next twenty-six years, he served as pastor of congregations in Indiana, Colorado at Evans Chapel and Trinity Church, New York, and New Jersey. During his years as a minister, Henry and Mary had four children: Frost Craft (1875), Emma (1882), Henry Jr. (1896), and Mary (1898). Henry Jr. died in Denver from scarlet fever in 1901.

In 1899, Buchtel was chosen as chancellor of the University of Denver, officially assuming his duties in January 1900. At that time, the university had debts of around $175,000 and faced the possibility of foreclosure on its mortgages. The new chancellor began fundraising immediately, and managed to retire the debts by August 1903 although the university's finances remained precarious for many years afterward. Buchtel worked with William G. Evans, both a son of its founder, John Evans, and a trustee of the university, to place the institution's funding on a firmer foundation by organizing a series of fundraising campaigns and establishing an endowment for the school. Reviewing these efforts on behalf of the university, the *Denver Post* noted in 1924 that:

> In twenty years under Dr. Buchtel's guidance, $1,750,000 was raised on his personal appeal for its development and it stands today backed by 20,000 subscribers . . .

In September 1906, after the Republican Party's nominee for governor, Phillip B. Stewart, withdrew from the race, a group of party officials, Franklin Brooks, George Stidger, and John F. Vivian, decided to offer the nomination to Chancellor Buchtel. Before accepting the trio's proposal to fill the vacancy on the ballot, Buchtel requested their promises that he would have absolute independence if elected. With their assurances, Buchtel became the Republican nominee. He was elected governor of Colorado in November and served one term from 1907 until 1909, while continuing to handle his duties as chancellor.

A stroke in September 1920 forced Dr. Buchtel to resign his position as chancellor the following December. Four years later, he suffered another stroke and, within a few days, died at his home in Denver on Wednesday, October 22, 1924. He was buried at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver.

In 1988, the Buchtel Bungalow, located at 2100 S. Columbine St. just two blocks east of the University of Denver campus, was listed with the National Register of Historic Places. Finished in the first half of 1906, the house served as Governor Buchtel's residence from 1907 until 1909 and for the remaining years of his life. Today, Buchtel Bungalow is owned by the University of Denver and serves as the home of current Chancellor Jeremy Haefner.

In addition, Buchtel Boulevard in Denver was built and named to honor Dr. Buchtel.

# Heidekreis

**Heidekreis** ("Heath district") is a district (*Landkreis*) in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Harburg, Lüneburg, Uelzen, Celle, Hanover, Nienburg, Verden and Rotenburg.

## History

Historically the region belonged to the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg and its successor states. The district was established in 1977 by merging the former districts of Soltau and Fallingbostel as **Soltau-Fallingbostel** (German pronunciation: \[ˈzɔltaʊ falɪŋˈbɔstəl\]). On 1 August 2011 it was renamed to Heidekreis.

## Geography

The district includes the western half of the Lüneburg Heath (*Lüneburger Heide*). Since this landscape is so characteristic for the district, it calls itself "the Heath District". The capital is Bad Fallingbostel, although it has only 11,800 inhabitants and is only the fifth-largest town in the district.

abstract: Gregers Winther Wulfsberg Gram was a Norwegian jurist and politician, and international arbitrator. He was a Supreme Court Assessor, Norwegian prime minister in Stockholm from 1889 to 1891 and from 1893 to 1898 and County Governor from 1898 to 1915.

# Gregers Gram (1846–1929)

**Gregers Winther Wulfsberg Gram** (10 December 1846  1 August 1929) was a Norwegian jurist and politician, and international arbitrator. He was a Supreme Court Assessor, Norwegian prime minister in Stockholm from 1889 to 1891 and from 1893 to 1898 and County Governor from 1898 to 1915.

## Personal life

Gram was born in Moss as the son of district stipendiary magistrate Paul James Reinhold Harald Gram (18181900) and Jensine Sophie Wulfsberg (18101902). He was a grandson of Jens Jensen Gram and Gregers Winther Wulfsberg, and a first cousin of Jens Gram.

In August 1878 he married Antoinette Augusta Brodtkorb (1857–1938). He was the father of politician Harald Gram (1887–1961) and through him the grandfather of resistance fighter Gregers Winther Wulfsberg Gram (1917–1944). His daughter Ida Fredrikke married diplomatist Johan Wollebæk.

## Career

Gram took his examen artium in 1864, and the cand.jur. degree in 1869. He worked in France and in the Norwegian Ministry of Justice, but then left Norway for some years. He worked as a jurist in Egypt, in Ismailia from 1875 to 1882, and later in Alexandria. Back in Norway he was a Supreme Court Assessor from 1884.

Gram belonged to the Conservative Party. When the first cabinet Stang assumed office in 1889, Gram was appointed Norwegian Prime Minister in Stockholm by Prime Minister Emil Stang. He served this position until the resignation of Stang's government in 1891. He was again Prime Minister in Stockholm during Stang's government from 1893. By 1895 this government had become weak due to internal conflicts. Gram was the architect of a new cabinet with Francis Hagerup as Prime Minister. This lasted from 1895 to 1898, but was unseated following the 1898 general election. During his last two tenures as Prime Minister in Stockholm, Gram had taken a moderate stance towards the union between Sweden and Norway, which many wanted to abolish. When a referendum was held on the dissolution of the union in 1905, Gram is believed to have voted against it, though this view was outnumbered 368,392 to 184.

After ending his political career he was County Governor of Hedmark from 1898 to 1915. He had declined several offers of ambassador positions during his career. Gram also served as a member of the arbitration tribunal in several international conflicts. He was a member of the Institut de Droit International from 1904, a board member from 1906 to 1910 and an honorary member from 1925. For his arbitration work he received the Grand Cross of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1893. He died in August 1929 in Vestre Aker, and is buried at Vestre gravlund.

title: Saelred of Essex

abstract: Saelred of Essex reigned as King of Essex from c. 709 to 746. His claim to the throne was due to descent from Sledd of Essex, the dynastic founder. For part of his reign he probably ruled jointly with Swaefbert, who, it is speculated, may have ruled the sub-kingdom of Middlesex. His date of death is known from an entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle although the circumstances are not recorded. Saelred was succeeded by Swithred, grandson of Sigeheard. Saelred's own son Sigeric succeeded Swithred. Like his predecessors, Saelred was not an independent ruler, but a dependent of the Kingdom of Mercia.

# Henry Langley (Dean of Melbourne)

**Henry Thomas Langley** (30 March 1877  28 November 1968) was the Anglican Dean of Melbourne from 1942 to 1947.

## Family

The son of the first Anglican Bishop of Bendigo, Henry Archdall Langley (1840-1906), and Elizabeth Mary Langley (1842-1923), née Strachan, Langley was born in Windsor, New South Wales on 30 March 1877.

He was the sixth of Langley's 12 children. One of his brothers, Frank Langley, played Australian rules football for the Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) from 1900 to 1906; another was the Archdeacon of St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney; and four of his sisters were involved with St Catherine's School, Toorak, two serving as its principal.

He married Ethel Maud Du Ve (1878-1957), fourth daughter of Charles Ignatz Du Ve (1836-1915), and Agnes Adamson Du Ve (1845-1915), née Buntine, on 4 September 1901. They had four sons, and one daughter:

* Henry Archdall "Hal" Langley (1902-1965).
* Charles Ethelbert Langley (1904-1981), who taught at Hale School in Western Australia from 1930 to 1933, and then at Melbourne's Caulfield Grammar School from 1934 to 1960.
* Philip D'acres Langley (1907-2000).
* Thomas Laurence Langley (1911-).
* Ethel Grace Archdall Langley (1915-).

## Education

Along with four of his five brothers, he attended Caulfield Grammar School in the 1890s.

An excellent scholar, he was awarded a *theological studentship* in 1893 (for 1894), in 1894 (for 1895), and in 1895 (for 1896). He began his studies at Trinity College, Melbourne in 1894, graduating Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in 1899, and Master of Arts (M.A.) in 1904, with final honours in logic and philosophy.

## Cleric

He was ordained in 1901.

After curacies served at St Paul's Church, Sale, St. Mary's Church, Morwell, Holy Trinity Church, Yarram, St. Clement's Church, Marrickville, and St Philip's Church, Sydney, he became the rector of St James' Church, Traralgon in 1907.

He then served as the incumbent at St Mary's Anglican Church (now known as Oaktree Anglican Church) in Caulfield, Victoria, as "Canon Langley", from 1911 to 1942.

### Caulfield Grammar School

While at St. Mary's he served as Caulfield Grammar School's chaplain.

In 1931, the school (at the time owned by Walter Murray Buntine) ceased being a "private school", and it became a "public school", with its operation conducted by a private company limited by guarantee. Langley served on the Caulfield Grammar School Council (the company's governing body) from its foundation in 1931 until 1945.

### Military chaplain

On 1 January 1916, Langley was appointed as a military chaplain to the First AIF.

### Shelford Girls' Grammar School

As the Vicar of St Mary's, Langley had been giving the pupils of the highly respected *Shelford Girls' School* weekly lessons in religious instruction for quite a number of years.

The school, established in 1898 (in Glen Eira Road) by Emily Dixon, was relocated to 77 Allison Road, Elsternwick by its second principal, Dora Mary Petrie Blundell (1865-1943), who served as the school's second principal from 1904 to 1921.

Dora was assisted and supported by her sisters, Lucy Annie Blundell (1850-1922), Fanny Blundell (1851-1937) and Margaret Helen Petrie Blundell (1866-1953), in performing her wide range of duties.

In 1923, Langley was responsible for the relocation of the school from 77 Allison Road, Elsternwick to "Helenslea" in Hood Crescent, Caulfield North — adjacent to St Mary's Church — the re-establishment of it as the Shelford Girls' Grammar School, and the appointment of Miss Ada Mary Thomas as its head mistress. Miss Thomas went on to serve as the school's headmistress from 1922 to 1945.

### St. Margaret's, Caulfield

As Vicar of St. Mary's, he was also responsible for the foundation of St. Margaret's Anglican Church, in Ripley Grove, Caulfield, in 1923. St. Margaret's operated as "*chapel of ease*" to St. Mary's church. Its adjacent hall was also the home of the 2nd. Caulfield Scout Troop.

### Dean of Melbourne

In August 1942, Langley was elected Dean of Melbourne — replacing Archbishop Head who had acted as dean since the retirement of George Aickin in 1932 — and continued in that position until he retired in April 1947.

### Political views

According to Hansen (2000), Langley "associated himself with socialist movements and marched annually in the May Day procession". Over his lifetime, he was quite outspoken on a wide range of political and social issues:

"Dean Langley has created a place of respect and affection in the life of Melbourne by his fearless and creative utterances in the Cathedral and on the Yarra bank as to the implications of the Christian Gospel to the social order as well as the life of individuals" — *Williamstown Chronicle*, 5 September 1947.

## Death

He died on 28 November 1968, at Hawthorn, and was cremated.

# Henry B. Jones

**Henry Bozeman Jones** (March 11, 1887 – April 1, 1971) was an African American artist, writer, print-maker, illustrator, teacher, athletic coach and school counselor. He was known primarily for his portraits and landscapes.

## Early life and community involvement

Henry Bozeman Jones was born on March 11, 1887, in Philadelphia to Andrew J. and Ada Jones. Bozeman was his mother’s surname. His father was a real state agent. Jones attended Central High School and received a scholarship to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1907. He attended the academy from 1908 to 1910, studying under artists Thomas Anshutz, Henry Poore, William Merritt Chase and Hugh Breckenridge. Anshutz chose Jones from among his other students to work with him in his studio.

After graduation, Jones enrolled at the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy, which trained Central graduates to become elementary school teachers. Jones was never able to live off his art alone. He worked at a number of jobs while painting part time - as a shipping clerk, bellboy, porter, cement worker, actor, printer and teacher.

He was referred to as “Hen Jones” by those who knew him well and was inseparable from his pipe. In a column about versatile men, a Philadelphia Tribune writer noted in 1954 that Jones, then retired, was skilled in building cupboards and cabinets. He was called on often to talk about a variety of subjects. In 1936, he spoke about reincarnation at the Germantown YWCA. He judged a children’s poster contest for a sorority, spoke on the subject of Black youth at a forum, and using charts, urged a women’s group to "use the brilliant coloring of their race to its best advantage by wearing all shades of red, orange, blue green and brown and by avoiding all tints" in a talk about color harmony and dress.

## Teaching career

Jones began working in the Philadelphia School District in 1916, the year he married Bertha Clearance, a teacher. For 25 years, he was a physical education – or “gym” - teacher, first at Logan Elementary School and then at the Walter George Smith school. He was known for counseling students from athletes to musicians to authors to artists. He organized track, basketball, volleyball and tennis teams at both schools. He coached 47 championship teams, and sent groups to the Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1950, the Loganites, an organization of former Logan students, feted him with a banquet and plaque for his contributions. He was so beloved by one former student, a Philadelphia Tribune columnist, that the man started a campaign to hold an annual testimonial in Jones' honor.

Jones was president of the Philadelphia District 2 of the Association of Pennsylvania Teachers, an organization of primarily Black school teachers, and created the cover for its souvenir book when the group met in Philadelphia in 1937. By 1954, he had retired from the school system.

## Artistic career

Jones worked in oil, watercolor, pastel, pen and ink and etchings.

He exhibited most often in the 1930s, many times in local shows that included Allan R. Freelon and Laura Wheeler Waring. Both Jones and Freelon mentored Paul F. Keene Jr. as a teenager when he taught art classes at the Wharton Center in North Philadelphia. They were considered the “elder statesmen” of Black artists, and showed up to review and critique Keen's work. Like other Black artists at the time, Jones exhibited sporadically in white galleries. Most shows by Black artists, noted artist and art historian James A. Porter, were in “churches, vestibules and reading rooms in public libraries, YMCA buildings or classrooms of public school buildings.” They were also set up at local YWCAs.

Jones was praised as a “gifted” artist and was singled out in some of those exhibitions. In 1944, Crisis magazine described him as an “accomplished artist in oils as well as a writer” and listed him among Philadelphia’s “preeminent” citizens, along with Freelon, Dox Thrash and author Jessie Redmon Fauset. The arts writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer described him in 1932 as “decidedly gifted.” Thirty years earlier, in 1913, Crisis noted that he was developing a talent as a portrait painter, producing two works of Frederick Douglass.

## Exhibition history

Jones was represented in four of the annual exhibits of the Harmon Foundation, which offered a national showcase for Black artists starting in the 1920s. In 1929, he showed “Portrait of the Artist,” which won an honorable mention; “Biddie,” “Moonlight and Houses” and “Guardian of the Wood.” “Moonlight and Houses” and “Guardian of the Wood” were both sold during the initial Harmon showing at the International House in New York before works were sent out on a traveling exhibit. In the stop at the National Art Gallery in Washington in 1929, art critic Leila Mechlin wrote in a review that portraits by Jones, John W. Hardwick and Charles Dawson were “well painted, well constructed, strong, and give indication of good teaching, sound instruction in fundamentals.”

His submissions in the 1930 Harmon show were “Portrait Study,” “Miss Frances Waters,” “Raymond Rourke” and “Banks of Chaloon.” In 1931, Harmon chose “Dream Time,” “Mrs. Potter” and “Slim.” He was represented in a stop on the traveling tour in South Africa in 1931. In 1933, it was “Blues” and “Old Death.” An essay in that year’s catalog mentioned that the 135th Street Library in Harlem had featured Jones’ prints in a solo show.

He exhibited in shows at Warwick Galleries and Print Club in Philadelphia. At the Warwick in 1931, he exhibited an oil and a watercolor. In 1932, “Old Death” was included in an exhibit of landscapes and portraits at Warwick. Rather than trying to explain the piece, a newspaper writer decided to use Jones’ own words:

> “The Gulla Negroes of the Carolina coasts have a tale which says that a buzzard alights on the roof of a house in which a person is dying. Just as the man dies the buzzard changes its form to that of a mighty many-hued bird, the little room of death seems without walls and the bird floats in and carries away the shining soul. Only those who are pious and godly may witness this strange departure of the soul.”

At that Warwick show, he also exhibited a study of trees called “Wind Scales,” along with “Jessup Street” and “The Voodoo Tree.” Later that year, he was singled out in a newspaper story for the oil “The Moon was Gracious.” In 1933, Jones was cited for his “distinct flavor and a high charm” in the painting “Respectability,” a “quaint name for a beautiful grouping of simple houses” (Freelon was among the exhibitors). Jones was noted for having the “best ‘idea’ picture” for “'Creation', the Biblical episode concerning the beginning of men and women but treated cosmically, so to speak, as if the event were accompanied by triumphant demonstrations on the part of the then-new nature.” In 1935, his entry was “Night,” which showed the head of a Black woman. In 1936, he contribute an oil painting (Freelon was again an exhibitor).

At the Print Club, he was selected from among artists from across the country in 1936 to participate in a show. “The reverence implicit in Henry B. Jones’ prayerful ‘Evening Rite’ has the simple appeal of the quattrocento,” a newspaper reviewer wrote. In 1935, he was one of 51 Black and white Philadelphia artists in the club’s seventh annual exhibition of prints, and was present again in the ninth exhibition in 1938. In 1940, a reviewer wrote that "Henry B. Jones indulges a bit in symbolism in his well drawn and cut block print 'Encore – Pagan Dance,' its two nude figures on a graveyard’s edge, telling the artist’s story in a fashion not to be misunderstood." In 1943, Jones' print “Another Crucifixion” featured tanks and planes during a time of war.

During an exhibit at the Gallery at the Plainfield Library in New Jersey in 1930, he exhibited "Elizabeth," a "well drawn figure, placed nicely on the canvas with good color in the flesh and gown," a reviewer wrote while also noting that “The Voodoo Tree” "is imaginative in subject, well designed and somewhat dramatic in arrangement of light and dark." At the John Reed Club in Philadelphia in1934, he participated in a show titled "The Social Trend in Art,” which presented artwork "illustrative of the artists’ feelings in respect to certain modern social conditions,” according to a reviewer. Others represented included Freelon, Thomas Hart Benton, Julius Bloch, Francis Criss, José Clemente Orozco, Thrash, Reginald Marsh and Benton Spruance.

Jones was recognized for his vitreographs, or etchings on glass. One reviewer noted that he had become a “specialist” in the medium. He exhibited two of them at the Print Club’s annual exhibit in 1932: “Masharia,” a study of a Black woman, and “Swamp Edge,” which showed his deftness with the medium, a reviewer wrote. At the club’s 1933 show, he exhibited “Elf Night,” and in 1934, “Got a Job.” Also in 1932, he showed a collection of vitreographs at the 135th Street Library show. He also showed them at a 1932 show at Warwick where they were reported to have caused a “sensation.”

In 1937, Jones spent some time in North Carolina and the Bahamas, and when he returned home, his traditionalist style of painting had changed. Two years later, he presented 11 works in oil at the Gallery of American Contemporary Art in Philadelphia from the North Carolina leg of that trip, including “Tired Fields After Rains” and “Sharecropper’s Cabin.” Artist Samuel J. Brown Jr., with whom he also often exhibited, had watercolors in the show.

In 1946, his work was shown in the fifth annual Atlanta University exhibition. He also participated in shows at the Pyramid Club in Philadelphia over several years. In 1948, he wrote the catalog’s foreword titled “The Pyramid Club Recognizes a Necessity.” His entry was a portrait of his son Perry in profile wearing a yellow coat against a soft green background. He also wrote the foreword for the 1949 catalog, noting that the focus that year was on expressionism. Another exhibitor that year was Samuel J. Brown Jr. He participated again in 1947 (along with Freelon) with “The Journey,” and in 1955 in its first annual fall show (its other shows were earlier in the year).

At a show sponsored by the Henry O. Tanner Memorial Fund at Wharton Settlement in Philadelphia in 1946, he donated three works to community groups: “Hollis” to the Children’s Aid Society, “In Contour” to the Galilee Mission and “Here We Go Zoodoe” to Wharton Settlement.

His works were included in a major show in 1989 titled “Against the Odds: African Americans and the Harmon Foundation.” It was first mounted in the Newark Museum of Art and traveled to other cities in the United States.

## As a writer

Jones wrote short stories and articles for Liberty, Romance and Opportunity magazines.

Opportunity Magazine/Journal of Negro Life, the official organ of the National Urban League, published several of his short stories during the 1930s. In its September 1931 issue, the magazine published “Root Deena,” which followed an earlier story titled “Case Against God.” In the April 1932 issue, artist/cartoonist E. Simms Campbell illustrated Jones' short story “A Day Off.” In 1933, “Gin and Moonlight” garnered an honorable mention in Opportunity’s annual literary contest. The first installment of the story was published that year. His short story “Cletus” received an honorable mention in the 1934 contest.

Several of his stories were chosen for a list of the best short stories by Edward J. O’Brien, who issued annual anthologies of the best short stories by U.S. writers. In 1932, “Root Deena” and “Day Off” were picked. O’Brien chose “Gin and Moonlight” and “Jungle Blood” for an anthology he compiled in 1935.

Jones’ short short story “No Jury” was published in the Pittsburgh Courier in 1939. He also illustrated and wrote a children’s book that was used in the public schools.

## As an actor

A Harmon Foundation catalog from 1931 noted that Jones was an actor. In 1945, he portrayed Crispus Attucks in the series “Within Our Gates” on WFIL in Philadelphia in his radio debut performance. The series, sponsored by the Philadelphia Fellowship Commission, dramatized the lives of important Americans in an effort to combat intolerance and promote equal opportunity.

## As a portrait painter

Jones painted a portrait of Dr. Henry McKee Minton, an African American pharmacist who helped found Mercy Hospital for Black people in Philadelphia. The portrait is in the collection of the Mutter Museum in the city. When Jones died, an obituary in the Philadelphia Tribune in 1971 stated that he had also painted a portrait of Dr. Eugene T. Hinson, also a founder of Mercy Hospital, and that both portraits were hanging in the lobby of Mercy-Douglass Hospital. Jones, Freelon, Minton and Hinson were members of the Philadelphia Club, an organization for Black men who were born in Philadelphia. The obituary also mentioned that a portrait he painted of Frederick Douglass was in the Douglass School in Wilmington, DE. In 1913, Crisis magazine stated that he had created two portraits of Douglass. He painted a portrait of the then-publisher of the Philadelphia Tribune, E. Washington Rhodes, in 1957.

## His death

Jones died on April 1, 1971, in Ambler, PA, after having lived for four years in a convalescence home.

# VfB Wissen

The **VfB Wissen** is a German association football club from the town of Wissen, Rhineland-Palatinate.

The club's greatest success has been a single season spent in the tier two 2. Oberliga Südwest in 1962–63 and to become a founding member of the tier three Regionalliga West/Südwest in 1994.

## History

The origins of an organised sports club in Wissen goes back to 1889 when the TV Wissen was formed, a gymnastics club. Attempts to form a football department within this club failed because of the club rejecting football as a suitable sport for young men. Attempts were made to form an independent football club in 1910 but this club soon folded again. With the industrialisation of Wissen and the considerable growth of the town just before the First World War a football club was finally formed on 28 February 1914.

The war soon interrupted regular play and it took until 1919 for *VfB* to renter league football. The club was grouped in the B-Klasse of the Westphalia region but won the league and entered the A-Klasse from the next season. The club was able to maintain a football team well into the last year of the Second World War.

The club reformed in 1946 with the permission of the French occupation authorities but had to official disband and reform again the following year. The club was now grouped in the part of Rhineland region that would later become the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate rather than in Westphalia.

VfB Wissen was promoted to the Rheinlandliga, then the Amateurliga Rheinland, in 1956. The club played in the eastern division of the league, then split into two regional groups and won the league in 1961 and 1962. While it failed to win the Rhineland championship in 1961 it did so in 1962 and was promoted to the tier two 2. Oberliga Südwest. Wissen finished in sixth place but the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963 and the changes in the league system meant that the club had to drop back to the Amateurliga. The club also won the Rhineland Cup on two occasions in this era, in 1959 and 1961.

*VfB* played two more seasons in the Rheinlandliga, now organised in a single division before being relegated in 1965. It returned to this level in 1968 and finished runners-up in the league in 1972. The club remained in the league until 1978 when it was renamed to Verbandsliga Rheinland. In the same year the Oberliga Südwest was established as the third tier in the region but Wissen needed to qualify in sixth place to enter this new league and came only thirteenth.

VfB Wissen became a top side in the Verbandsliga, finishing runners-up in 1981. It twice qualified for the first round of the German Cup in the early 1980s. In the 1980–81 edition it defeated ASV Burglengenfeld in the first round before going out to VfL Osnabrück in the second. In 1982–83 it lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the first round.

After 21 consecutive seasons in the Amateurliga/Verbandsliga the club finally won the Rheinlandliga in 1988 and was promoted to the Oberliga Südwest for the 1988–89 season, where the club finished sixteenth and was promptly relegated again. It took *VfB* two seasons to return to the Oberliga. It spent three seasons in the league from 1991 to 1994. After an eleventh place in 1992 it came fourth in 1993 and third in 1994. The later result was enough to be one of six teams from the league to qualify for the new Regionalliga West/Südwest, one of four Regionalligas introduced that year. VfB Wissen came last in this league in 1994–95 and was relegated from the Regionalliga again. The following season, in the Oberliga, the club came last again and was relegated from this league, too. The Regionalliga West/Südwest disbanded in 2000 and the Oberliga Südwest renamed in 2012 and *VfB* did not return to either in this time.

VfB Wissen lasted for two seasons in the Rheinlandliga before suffering another relegation in 1998, after 31 seasons at this level or above. It played in the Landesliga after that, with this league eventually disbanded and replaced by the Bezirksliga at its level. Since then the club has dropped as far as the Kreisliga A before making a return to the Bezirksliga in 2014.

# Mohamed Bel Hadj (Algerian-French soldier)

**Mohamed Bel Hadj** (1904 – 10 January 1945) was an Algerian-French army lieutenant and French resister. He distinguished himself by switching sides from Vichy to Free French forces after becoming injured in Lebanon and saving his unit commander during fighting in Libya. He was mortally wounded by a landmine while leading an operation in eastern France.

## Biography

He was presumed to have been born in Saïda, Algeria in 1904 \[other sources say 1905\] which was then a French-controlled colony. He volunteered to join the French army in Saïda in August 1923 and was incorporated as a 2nd-class rifleman in the *10e régiment de tirailleurs algériens (10e RTA)* \[10th Algerian Rifle Regiment\] before joining the *6e RTA*. He served in Morocco for four years. Assigned to the Levant in September 1928, he served there for eleven years with the *6e RTA*. He was successively promoted to corporal in 1930, sergeant in 1933 and then staff sergeant in 1937.

Bel Hadj was transferred again in November 1940 to the *10e RTA* following the dissolution of the *6e RTA* and took part in what was now the Vichy army campaign in Syria and Lebanon against the British, Australian Indian and Gaullist forces. He was wounded in the leg by shrapnel on 19 June 1941 in the Battle of Merdjayoun. On August 6, 1941, he chose to desert the Vichy-supporting *Armée du Levant* to join the Free French Forces.

Promoted to warrant officer in October 1941, he was assigned from its creation to the *22e Compagnie Nord-Africaine (22e CNA)* (22nd North-African company) formed from North-African riflemen who supported Free France. The company was attached to the 1st Free French Brigade of General Koenig and took part in the Libyan campaign. At the Battle of Bir Hakeim, in June 1942, Bel Hadj twice risked his own life to save that of his company commander, Captain Pierre Lequesne. On 1 July 1943, the *22e CNA* became the *22e bataillon de marche nord-africain (22e BMNA)*.

Bel Hadj took part in the Italian campaign where he landed with the *1re division française libre (1re DFL)* (1st Free French Division) on 20 April 1944. Promoted to chief warrant officer on 1 July, he landed in Provence on 17 August and engaged in the liberation battles of Provence and the Rhône valley. In November 1944, the battalion was attached to the 2nd Brigade of the *1re DFL*. Bel Hadj was promoted to second lieutenant on 25 November 1944.

On January 9, 1945, during the Battle of Alsace, he jumped on a mine while leading a patrol in Dambach, Bas-Rhin. Mortally wounded, he said to the doctor: "Lieutenant Bel Hadj is going to die, but that does not matter. Long live France!". He died within an hour of his transfer to the hospital.

Bel Hadj was buried in the national cemetery of Sigolsheim in the Haut-Rhin département.

## Awards and legacy

He received the Syria-Cilicia medal, the Syrian Merit, the Colonial Medal with Morocco staple, the *Médaille des blessés de guerre* in 1941, the *Médaille militaire* for his actions in Libya and the *Croix de Guerre*. He was posthumously made a *Compagnon de la Liberation* by decree on 17 November 1945.

On 15 August 2019, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the landings in Provence, President Macron cited the service of Bel Hadj:

> "I am thinking of another companion of the Liberation, Lieutenant Mohamed BEL HADJ. Born in Algeria in 1905, in June 1942 in Bir-Hakeim, then warrant officer, he saved twice, risking his life, his Company Commander. Landed in Provence on August 17 with his brothers in arms of the 22nd North African Marching Battalion, Mohamed BEL HADJ died for France on January 10, 1945 during the Alsace campaign. He said to the doctor who was trying to treat his wound: 'Lieutenant BEL HADJ is going to die but that doesn't matter. Long live France!' Rightly honoured by their comrades of the day, these African fighters, for many decades, did not have the glory and esteem their bravery warranted."
