The brief career of George Wash ington as Congressman from Vir- ginia began on September 5, 1774, when he met in Philadelphia with delegates from all the Colonies ex- eept Georgia in the first Contin- ental Congress. The Division of In- formation and Publication of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission recalls this event and the interest attach ing to it in connection with the forthcoming Celebration next year commemorating the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington.
 Washington, as the outstanding military figure in the Colony, was a natural choice to represent Vir- ginia in the Congress. In all he served as Congressman for period of about three months, for when the second Continental Congress met in May, 1775, he was again a delegate from Virginia. His ap- pointment as Commander-in-Ch of the Continental Army, on June Is, terminated his congressional activities.
 Events in 1774 were very dis turbing to peaceful relations be- tween England and her colonies The opposition to what the Ameri- cans felt was high-handed treat ment on the part of Parliament and the British ministry had already famed into open resentment. A Congress was called in last effort toward reconciliation and for unit ed action in defense of colonial rights. It was nearly two years be- fore the Declaration of Independence was to sever the Colonies from the mother country and there was still hope of an adjustment of the diff faculties.
 Washington's appointment t c Congress was not made by popular election as is the case today. In fact. Governor Dunmore, of Vir- ginia, correctly considered as il- legal or extra-legal the entire pro- cedure of the Virginia Convention ana US appointment OI " dShihSIoh and his colleagues to the Congress
 But it was too late for such protests. The colonists were talk ing the law into their own hands.
 It will be remembered that Wash ington had served in the Virginia House of Burgesses for fifteen years The E went too far in June 1774. .n heir denunciation of Parliament suit Dunmore, and he dissolved he Hous The mem bers net ln August as the "V1r- ginia Convention" and named deie- gates to the Contir Con -s
 It was in this convention that Washington is credited with having made one of his few speeches. It is said to have been the most eloquent speech of that meeting despite its extreme breYity and lack of orator ical pretensions. Washington's re- marks were occasioned by the plight of the people of Boston whose port had been closed by ministerial de

cree and whose communication with the outside world was almost cut off by the presence of the British army under General Gage. When the situation was being discussed in the Virginia convention, Washing ton arose and said, according to the account as handed down by John Adams:
 "I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston,"
 The Congress met first in the City Tavern in Philadelphia, elected Pey- ton Randolph president, and ad- journed to Carpenters Hall where the remaining sessions were held. Washington attended the second Congress dressed in military uni form, and 1t is possible that he went to the first Congress similarly at- tired. This seems to have been his way of indicating that he was prepared for the clash which every day appeared more certain.
 Wasington's diaries record noth- ing of the discussions which took place in Congress. The tall, dis tinguished and famous Virginian, however, made a lasting impression on his fellow Congressmen. He must have participated effectively in the deliberations of the Congress for Patrick Henry, when asked who was the greatest man in the body replied: If you speak of elOquence Mir. Rutledge, of South Carolina, is by far the greatest orator; but if you speak of solid information and sound judgment, Colonel Washing ton is unquestionably the greatest man on that floor"
 The spirit of Congress seems to have been one of moderation. No one appeared to advocate independ- ence. Washington wrote to a friend in the British army that no colony wanted independence either collec- lively or separately, but he assur- ed him that if the ministry con tinued to push matters to ex- tremity,' bloodshed was inevitable
 The Congress adjourned October 26. The Declaration of Rights, ' had been adopted setting forth the attitude of the Colonies. This de- claration, moderate in tone, firmly stated that as the Colonies were not represented in Parliament they were entitled to the free and exclusive power or legislation.
 The most important act of the Congress was the adoption of the ! Association" by which it was agreed that economic pressure should 3e brought to bear on Eng land. Pv ',is agreement the Colonies themselves not to trade with D in either by importatIoL cr 'ortetion. It was hoped this S-uIa arouse the English merchants that the minis. try would be forced to a change in policy. Although it failed in this it united the colonists more closely in one further step toward inde- ! pendence, and the Committees of

HEALTHY CHICK
PROGRAM PAYS

The percentage of the poultrymen
of the County have requested the
mimeographed material being put out
by the. College giving specific instruc-
tons on the growing Of healthy chicks
and the development Of better pullets.
We feel that every poultryman OF the
County should be interested enough in
this material to get all of the inforna-
ton possible. The poultry meetings to
be held soon on breeding will be an
other opportunity for poultrymen to
get this information not only from Mr..
Buchanan, Extension poultryman, but
from the mimeographed material as
well.
Recent reports from one of the east
ern states following the same pro-
gram as being mapped out here shows
that the pullets raised thru the healthy
chick program produced 10 eggs more
per pullet with an income of soc
higher than the average of those not
given specific care as outlined in the
Mr.. Buchanan pointed out in re-
cent article that the time is passed
when any poultryman but the one de-
veloping definite program for the
production of the best quality Of
birds capable of producing high egg
lay can expect to make profit from
the poultry flock. We trust that
poultrymen will keep the poultry meet
ings in mind and attend one of the
three meetings to be held in the Coun-
ty April 8 and 9.
