At the Second Church Forum on Sunday evening, November 9. ct 7:30 D, m. pr. and Mrs. John o. walker will present their newest lecture, illustrated with colored moving pictures, 'sHistoric Wtl- iiaInsburg and Garden Week in Old Virginia" A great event of the southern season is Garden Week in Virginia when opportunity is given to visit many of the homes and gar" dens not otherwise made available to the general public. Garden Week i1 Io4i ran from April 2S to May 3 and the proceeds, which in other years have been given for the res- toration of historic shrines, were this year given for Bundles for Britain. Certainly one of the most interesting and historic places in Virginia is Williamsburg. There's toration of colonial Williamsburg was undertaken by John D. Rocke- feller, Jr., in 1927. Millions of dol- lars have been spent on the work and the most painstaking care has been taken. Automatically repro duced costumes and beautifully re- stored home and public buildings serve to create an atmosphere that transports one back three hundred years.
 Although Williamsburg is the Mecca for all tourists in Virginia there are very many other places of great historic interest. Across from Washington the visitors eyes are caught and held by the beauti- full home of Robert E. Lee in Arr lington National cemetery, en- hanced by the glory of wistaria in full bloom. The dogwood is the state flower of Virginia and is in It's prime durimg Garden week.
 Continuing south the visitor must include Mt. Vernon and Fredericks- burg where among the homes to be visited are the Mary Washington house and Kenmore which was built for Betty Washington. Tn the Northern Underwater district may be seen the Memorial house at Wake field, the birthplace of George Washington, and Stratford. the an- cestral home of the Lees of Vir- ginia. and the birthplace of Robert E. Lee.
 Tn the vicinity of Williamsburg one may visit Yorktown and James, town. Tn Richmond one sees St. Johns church where Patrick Henry thundered forth his challenge to the British crown, and the impress Siye architecture of the Capitol building.
