UPTON WEAKLEY RETIRES
After twenty-two years of service with the Virginia Department of Highways, Upton Weakley has retired to his home in Washington. When Mr. Weakley first began his job with the Highway Department, he worked with a team of horses scrapping and dragging the roads. Then for twelve months he was a helper. Transferred to the Rappahahnoek Maintenance Department, Mr. Weakley was appointed a patrolman. He continued in this position until a few years ago when he took over the duties of an operator of highway equipment.
Since his retirement, Mr. Weakley scorning a life of leisure has kept busy catching up on a back slide of odd jobs. In addition to painting and patching, he raises and sells rabbits. He only has 26 (New Zealand) at the present—the hot weather taking a toll of his usually much larger number.
Mrs. Weakley, when asked how it seems to have her husband “retired,” replies, “It's so nice to think that all of these snowy, sleety nights he won’t have to be out in the middle of it. . . Besides, he’ll have plenty to do— gardening and fixing up around the house.” (Doesn’t sound like he’s retired, just changed full time jobs).
CONDUCTS CLASS
Mrs. Maxwell Willis of Culpeper will conduct a class at Washington Methodist church on Wednesday, September 30 beginning at 10 a.m. Her subject will be “Toward Understanding the Bible.” Everone is invited. There will be a covered dish luncheon.
