He was under the wire by only a few linutes for the phone was usy all day letting us know hat the “S” in Truman’s ame stands alone. He has o middle, name—although e has had numerous one3 acked on to his last name. Answer this one for your ear’s subscription to the Jews: Describe the first flag »f the Confederacy and give |us the date it was first flown >ver a Capitol, and in what ity. 0 0 0 0 I was informed a few weeks tgo that I was an uninformed ditor, so maybe some can enlighten me on another subject. Why does €harles W. Lewis, Jr. hink that serving a number of . .rears in the Foreign Service in "Costa Rica, Africa, Pakistan, and pother distant parts, give the qualifications to run against Sen. A. Willis Robertson for Jthe (Jnited States Senate. I don’t believe there is a man we could name that understands Virginia and Virginians better than our own A. Willis Robertson. [The Red Cross has suffered greatly from the accounts of soldiers home from overseas, Who record how they | had to buy assistance from them at I times, and on other occasions were | turned down flat.. We' don’t deny | these stories, nor do we smile when | we see these big shot Red Cross I (Executives sporting Cadillacs and I what goes with them. However, when I you’re approached on the subject of I giving to this organization, remember t- how large the Red Cross is and how ” | impossible it would be to get work's crs all of the highest calibre. The g above cases do not represent the organization but individuals employed . by the Red Cross under good faith. These cases, too, are/greatly overbalanced by stories of the good the Red Cross has accomplished. These stories may not move so fast, as they are less dramatic. But there’s truth in them. In our own county, the Red Cross, in recent days, has contributed to the county rescue squad, several blankets and a stretcher. A disaster program is being organized for the county . . . Should a flood, fire or other disaster strike, without hesita| tior^ we could call on the Red Cross, J and it would come to our aid. Yes, I this is worth remembering too, when we’re asked to give.

He has definitely proved his leadership abality in 4-H work and is outstanding in other fields. We feel that Kelly is the kind of 4-H'er who typifies National 4-H Week. In school, Kelly has consistantly Ibeeen one of the top students in addition to holding the Vive Presidency of Sophomore Class, president of the Junior Class and now president of the S.C.A. His F.F.A. honors include the president of the chapter for 2 years and being chosen as State Chapter farmer for two years. He is now president of Northern Triangle Federation. A perfect attendance at Sunday School for six years and president of the young peoples Christian group at the Washington Baptist Church is a pretty good indication of his work in the church. . Back in 1947, Kelly started his , 4-H work with six sheep until today he has 16 head and has collected ..$1,295 profit along the way.He has taken projects in corn and pasture to get a wider knowedge of what it takes to raise an animal. Kelly has . learned well too because he topped the Junior Division of the 100 Bushel Corn Club for three years, along withd about $700 profit on his corn. For his seeven years of 4-H work Kelly has realized $2,180 profit on all his projects. He has taken a total of 20 projects in his4-H career. This year Kelly has 14 ewes with 12 lambs already.' He is continuing his corn and pasture projects with two acres of corn and one acre pf pasture on demonstration. Along with these projects he is starting his third year in the Rural Electric Project. Kelly is also serving as Junior leader in the Washington area to help the younger members in, their club work. In adition to this he is doing a fine job as president k>f the Washington Sr. 4-H club and Vice President of the 4-H County Council. He is again participating in the livestock judging team of which he was a member of the team that made a fine showing last year. =• Kelly has always exhibited and helped with the 4-H or county fair each year.

DeBergh In spite of a cold wind, the fourth annual Rappahannock Point-to-Point drew an estimated crowd of 2,000 and a record number of entries. Thirty-four horses represented eleven hunts in Saturday evening’s races. In the first race, Redmond , owned by Mrs. Alan Dv Kinsley, set the - pace all the way and won easily. The Ladies’ race was certainly one of the most exciting races ever seen anywhere. All five horses ran well together and until the finish line it was a toss-up between Miss Jean Blackwell on Bones and Miss Sally Roszel on Joseph Mulford’s Clifton's Dixie with Bones winning by a nose. Quite a few people, including Joe Palmer, the announcer, thought the ladies’ race was the most thrilling point-to-point race they had ever seen. Nine horses went to the post in the Mt. Marshal] and Laddie Murray on Mrs. *N.nK. Toerge’s In the Clouds set the pace all the way but worked hard as Polichinela, last year's winner, pushed him right along. Unfortunately, four horses and their riders parted company in this race but no one was hurt. ' In the Rappahannock Bowl, three horses started, with the lead alternating between F. M. Lewis on War Eagle and Joint Master James W. Eletcher cm Miss Mildred Fletcher’s Warsir, who was the eventual winner. The Ben VenueJ the open heavyweight race, brought out eight “fatties"—a really' unheard of number with George Cole • Scott's Big Time setting a blistering pate, the first time around. However, Big * Time was unable to keep it up and Old Fashioned, owned and ridden by T. E. Taylor made a strong move behind him and took over the pace setting duties! Big Time repeated his last years performance at Piedmont and was followed by Dr. J. M. Rogers' Star Salome, and W. L. Five junior riders came out for the last race and it was a thrilling race from start to finish with John Fisher on D. W. Patterson's Tamer nosing out James Sinclair on his sister’s Betty Lou and Miss Phyllis Mills on her own Joy. As usual, the Farmers’ Race and the Hound Race were big crowd pleasers. The first division of the farmers race was won by the last horse as Etta lost her rider just before the judges stand and Bill ridden by H. Dodson cut a flag. The second division was won by S. McGee on Birdie and R. Burke on Doll was second. Melvin Poe, from Old Dominion Hounds, laid the drag for the Hound Race and approximately 30 hounds ran a beautiful race, closely hunched with Frank Dodson’s black and tan hound crossing the finish line first and some six or seven hounds behind her were so close/ that it was impossible to de- - clare winners for second and third. Armed Forces Physical Examination The following were, examined in Alexandria on Monday, March 15th; Garfield F. Burke, Russell Ross Cave, William D. North, William F. Carter, James Matthew Settle, Charles H. Brooks and Charles C.

Although these prjzes are impressive Kelly feels that the experience and self-reliance that he has received being a 4-H’er is worth more to him than the prize money. .
