Some Opinions
Gladys Reid betook herself to flperryville Tuesday to collect the opinions of the Sperryville citizens on the subject of the victorious ladies' election in Rappahannock’s county seat.
Before the ambitious youn valedictorian of Whslifngton High School's class of 1950 set Out on iher perilous journey she was warned that there was no telling what kind of answers she would get. After all, those Sperryvillains don't exactly follow any set pattern, and individual personality is appreciated there about as well as it is in the other sections of Rappahannock county.
"Lee Thornton waa leaving his office,” reported Gladys. “At first he refused to comment when I asked him his opinion ' on the ladies being elected in Washington, but he went up to the Sandwich Shop and there he got to talking.”
Said Lee Thornton: "I have no comment on anything the other aide of Redivha bridge. We rereserve all our opinions for this side . . . We’ll back any capable woman candidate for the trial justice—as he was the campaign manager for the all-woman slate, he should be willing to step aside for any capable woman.”
Dr. John P. Snead had entered the Sandwich Shop during Lee Thornton’s dissertation and, when asked his opinion, he said to just continue the present interview, for "Lee Thornton should know what a petticoat rule will mean.”
Joe Henry Aylor played it safe, with “No comment” as his answer to questions. Mrs. Aylor was present. „
The two mail-carriers, Mr. Waye and Mr. Kitty Brown, got Gladys a -little confused. Quoth Mr. Waye: “I think it’s a wonderful thing; the more petticoats we have the more-we sell. If they’re half as good as my wife, they’ll be perfect."
“Now,’ states Gladys, “I don’t quite understand iwhat he meant, because I don’t think he’s married.”
