 when the disputes between the Col onies and England began, Washington
 hoped for settlement without the clash of arms. 'I do not want war" he said, my first wish is to see this plague of mankind banished from off the earth" Yet during his whole life whenever fighting was to be done in the interests of humanity. he was among the first to volunteer for serv- ice. When the news of the battle of Lexington reached Virginia, Washing ton at once took the lead in organiz ing body of soldiers In the Virginia convention he made most eloouent speech on the rights of the Colonies and closed by saving, 1T will raise ono thousand men. enlist them at my own expense and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston" The speech aroused tremendous enthr siasm and caused it's speaker to be one or the six Virginia delegates appointed to the first Continental Congress which met in September, 1774. and on June Is, 1775, he was chosen by that body to take command of the Con- tinenta!

 Thrift

For more than nine years I boarded always in private homes; so naturally l have had some little experience in studying family life and conditions. 3
 There was one thin that actually worried me, and that was in every home where 1 boarded there was al ways cold bread, stcks of it, in the pantry. One family in particular caused me to think on this unnecessary waste. They owned valuable orchard of eight or ten acres. and have seen barrels of peaches rotting on the ground. There was no market for the fruit and, at that time, canning clubs were unknown. The mother told me they were unable to buy sugar to pre- serve the fruit for winter use, and, as cotton was the only product raised, the money all came in in the winter time.
 There being no peach preserves on the table, made me wonder why that woman did not economize on flour, and at the end of the year, when cotton was sold, buy that amount in sugar

He then ordered his soldiers into skirmish with the French and came out victorious. After the skirm- ish of Great Meadows, Washington re- signed because he did not think the soldiers had their hearts ill their work, He was. however, persuaded to accept a position as aide to General Braddock and passed through the disastrous campaign which was lost to Braddock. because he refused to heed his aides advice.

He had four bullets fired through his coat and two horses shot under him, yet he escaped unhurt. although his companions were falling all about him. The Indians declared that he bore charmed life and that he could not be killed The settlers came out and begged him to protect them from the savages, the women and children surrounding his horse Not content with this experience he re-orsanized the provincial army and was it's commander until the end of the campaign.

During the voyage George pondered over the aggression of the French and their Indian allies and the infringe ment of the rights of the settlers in Virginia.

So, l resolved if ever I had a home of my own, there would never be any waste in that respect. For six years l have kept house. and after the first three or four months, have never had any cold bread to throw away. I have learned the art-for I consider it such and at this particular stage of our countrys history, feel it is not boast ing to call it Thrift. I cook only enough for my family. Should they happen to be extra hungry, and eat more than usual, there's always a loaf of bread or crackers on hand to SUD- ply the lack. This is not often, for think every woman knows more about her husbands appetite than she does any other part of his make-up-and it's one thing he never tries to hide.
 l will further add, my husband, hav- ing boarded numbe rof years, doesn't care for scrambled eggs, hash or bread pudding.
