cd is Mrs. Blair Niles, who has won
distinction through her travel books
on Haiti, Peru and Ecuador. such
historical novels as The Bay of
the Immense Sun" and her most
recent volume, The James," one of
a series which is being issued about
Americas famous rivers.
Great Grandfather Received Grant.
DR.. Theodrick Bland Pryor was
the great-grandson of Theodrick
Bland, who was given a large grant
Of land on the James river, which he
called Jordans. Today, Jordans
Point, one of the oldest lighthouses
in Virginia, stands on part of the
Bland grant not far from City
Point.
He himself started in life as a
lawyer, but soon his interest in
religion aligned him with the min
istry in the Presbyterian Church,
although all the members of his
family, including his five brothers,
were Episcopalians.
His brilliant attainmentS early
brought him a charge in Baltimore,
where he became distinguished
throughout the State of Maryland
Then followed his service for the
Second Presbyterian Church in
Petersburg.
In Petersburg during the Civil
War he joined the Confederate
army as chaplain, but later fought
in the ranks. Captured by the Union
forces. he made his escape back to
the Confederate camp, from where
he led party of friends back on
horseback and captured in turn the
raiders who had taken him prisoner.
To his friend. Gen. Robert E. Lee
DR.. Pryor lent his own study chair
when Lee and his desperate sup
porting forces were defending the
city of Petersburg and upon its wide
arm Lee wrote most of his orders
and dispatches having to do with
the Confederacy's last stand. His
daughter law, Mrs. Anne Ban
lister Pryor, who married DR.. Pryor.s
youngest son, Archibald Campbell
Pryor. afterward gave as one of
her childhood's memories of the
burning of Petersburg her recollec-
tions of Gen. Lees orderly return
ing this chair with his thanks to
DR.. Pryor's family.
Mrs. Baker Now Has Chair.
This chair is at present the proud
possession of Dr. Pryor's grand
daughter Mrs. Baker, who was
Caroline BaniSter Pryor, and is now
resident of this city
Despite frequent calls after the
Cival War to large city churches,
DR.. Pryor felt his service could be
greatest to the rural communities
of Virginia. Successfully he built
up the country parishes of Crewe,
Blackstone, Burkville, Shiloh and
NottoWay County Court House,
riding many miles on his far-f1ung
round of pastoral visits, often &C
companied by his Negro body serv-
ant, William. who was venerated
for his godliness among his race
quite as much as DR.. Pryor was
among the white people
While he was serving on the
Blackstone charge, DR.. Pryor pre-
sented an ardent plea to have the
church repaired and was authorized
to have whatever done that was
necessary, The next Sunday the
congregation arrived at the church
to find it painted bright pink
with green blinds, his favorite color
combination. Amidst its grove of

Business BOOms for
Girl Reserves.
Business has been booming for
a little group of Girl Reserves
since they received publicity on
their offer to do various summer
Jobs at reasonable rates during
the summer.
Known as the three Is 1ndi-
vidual Initiative Industries the
girls are directed by Miss Mabel
Cook. Girl Reserve secretary at
the Y. w. c. A
Miss Cook said last week that
they have received more orders
for child care than for any single
type of service, but that the
young cooks in the group also
have enjoyed good business.
In one instance a customer in
dicated that she expected her
"happy home" to be saved by the
girl who undertook to sew but
tons on the family wardrobe.
Two of the girls recently as
sisted at golden wedding an
niversary and others have re-
lieved hostesses by doing Mount
Vernon, the Washington Monu-
ment and other points of interest
with out -of-town visitors.
I personally know of a vaca-
ton crisis that was saved when
one of the girls agreed to care
for spoiled and adored cat while
it's owners were out of town.
Family of Kittens
Provide One Job.
And speaking of pets, Miss
Cook said that one distracted cat
lover first made arrangements
for the care of single pet and
later telephoned that she now
had a family of three.
The job was accepted on the
new basis. however, and the two
little newcomers were guarded
carefully in a dark room until
their mistress returned.

met here Tuesday, the protest was
signed by a group headed by James

Stimulated by any facts" For this
reason. the statement added. the
trustees voted unanimously not to
consider the charge at the same
time. the trustees authorized the
executive committee to appeal the
Cassell suit verdict.
In this latter case. the court rul-
