The Lady of the Cupboard Pre- pares Her Dainties For
 Picnickers
One of the Most Beautiful Pano-
 ramas in This Section

The lady who lives near the Top Q the Hill in Dudley is preparing to stock her little cupboard with jellies and jams and, later on, will add those crisp. brown, salted peanuts that can not be found anywhere else in the world. While this may sound like an advertisement for a unique merchand- ising venture it isn't The lady who lives near the Top Q the Hill has, by personal effort. tried to broadcast the attractiveness of this beautiful spot, which. she feels, must be like that other beautiful spot where. in the springtime, Van Dyke got his inspir- ation for "God of the Open Air"
 When the lady near the Top Q the Hill first went there to live there were very few who seemed to know about the wonderful view. Those who did saw only what might be seen from the highway They passed by without realizing the much finer view obtain able by entering a nearby field. Or perhaps they thought they would be regarded as trespassers if they ven tured onto private property. This was because they did not know that the Lady of the Top 70 the Hill Is ''as happy as a child when things on the Top o the Hill find favor with visitors"
 A Beautiful Panorama
 Last fall Patriot representative was taken to the Top @ the Hill by a friend. The place discloses such a beautiful panorama of the surround ing country that the reporter felt, as does the lady in the attractive farm house just under the brew of the hill, that people should be informed of this natures beauty spot so easily ac- cessible. The story of the "diseov- cry" by the Patriot representative was written and printed. It has come under the eye of the Lady of the Top Q the Hill and she is pleased in the thought that people from Putnam. Pomfret. the Woodstoeks and other surrounding towns may be attracted to the place and enjoy it's ever chang ing grandeur.
 As the season is opening, the buds unfolding. and nature coming back to life. the thought that 1t is time to visit the Top o the Hill asserts itself. The Lady of the Top 70 the Hill is al so able to enjoy the rejuvenating spring season. She has had a trying winter; has been ill with pneumonia. She has come safely through the ill- ness and is already thinking of the spok she holds so dear and SO wishes others to enjoy.
 Yes. she has written the editor of the Patriot. who has never had the pleasure of meeting her, asking him, in her modest way, if he can not help her in her effort to inform people what joy they may experience when out on a pleasure ride by driving to the Top Q the Hill. She even, in her enthusiasm, offers to pay for the pub licity (banish the thought in her desire to give others q bit of pleasure. It does not seem breach of conf dence to quote parts of her letter, as we have already quoted her allusion to Van Dyke and his beautiful poem "God of the Open Air"

Nash owners are drawn from the most discriminating buyers of mo- tor cars in the country.
 They are attracted to the Nash "4o0" because of it's unexcelled engineering features as we'll as because of ifs great beauty and luxurious performance.
 The Twin-lgnition principle in motor design which results in greater power, speed. smoothness and economy is an excellent exam. pie of Nash engineering leadership. Another is the centralized chassis fabrication on every model that enables you to quickly. scientif- ically, and economically lubricate every important chassis point.

printer that ever worked in this city, Mr.. Joyce
did not hesitate 70 say that he could execute
much better work than Curet, which, If nothing
else. indicated at least the pride and confidence
Mr.. Joyce had in himself as a printer. But ir-

was a strong temperance advocate and always
stood for the uplift of his native city. He left

Election Laws Under Scrutiny

One of the controversial matters
that was discussed in the last state
campaign was-the simpli6cation of
the ballot in Virginia. That, this
matter which at times grew bitter
between the Democrats and Repubii-
cans, has not gone altogether unno-
ticed, is shown by the fact the Gov
Pollard in his message to the General
Assembly, now in session, proposed
q change in our voting laws. The
general assembly acting on this ad-
vice has already under consideration
relative to simplifying the ballot in
our state.
1t has always been The contention
of the Republican party that the bal
lot has been too confusing. This
has been borne out to some extent,
perhaps, by the fact that thousands
of ballots are thrown out at each
election 1t would now seem that
the Democratic party is determined,
through their leader, Governor Pol
lard, to investigate this charge, and
remedy the situation. Several bills
are under consideration, relative to
TINS SITUATION. One WOQlU nave
voting machine, another would have
d method to use a cross mark oppo-
site the party, the voter intended to
vote for, signifying his intentions
for that party in full. There is also
under consideration q bin to require
the Republican party to hold a pri-
mary the same as the Democratic
candidates are required to do. From
all of this it would seem that it is
q foregone conclusion, that Virginia
is to have two parties in the future.
Fortunately our group in the
Valley have little trouble in getting
on the books. And, they hold fair
elections here too. Seemingly, our
greatest hold-back is to get our peo-
pie to pay their taxes and register.

of Richmond developed more rapidly in education and
business than Negroes in many parts of the South
and their rapid rise in the cultural and Business world
was wonder of that day. When there were only 10
coored banks in the United States, we had four in
Richmond. and our cultural life was the model for
other sections. The pioneer work done in the old
