CORNERS AND CANYONS
By Frank Edwards HenckeI

NEW YORK. = Recently in this
column, published in a string of
newspapers around over the coun-
try, there was the story of the fifty
year-old man who goes about the
town with bootblack's kit and
sometimes comes into the office
building from which these lines are
written, and shines my shoes.
He says he was nine or ten weeks
old when they found him one win
ter morning where he had been left
bundled up in a downtown rail sta
ton. He was taken in charge by a
welfare society, and for few years
was in children's home.
81
A wealthy woman took him out
and kept him for a year Then she
died, and her children booted him
out; and the boy went to live at an
East Side lodging house and spend
the rest of his life shining shoes. He
thinks he is of good blood; and what
time he is not welding his brushes
and green buffeting CLOTH he goes
around mulling over who his people
were.
Publication of the story has
brought several letters, including
one from professional writer in
the west about man who wonders.
also, VINO his father was There are
few who know, but have never
told.
The father was born in the south.
His mother died when he was born:
and his father-grandfather to the
yet-hving man who doesn't know
soon married again but died when
the boy was seven. Then the boys
stepmother remarked, and thus he
had, both stepfather and step
mother. The family moved to a
northern city. The boy was mis-
treated; and when he was fourteen
he ran away, and got job driving
mules for canal boat.
Later he went west, stopped in a
large city, and eked out a living
shining shoes until he got the OPP
portunity for an education and f.
nally to learn a profession, in which
he achieved rather large success.
He married the daughter of lead
ing family, and things went well for
a time. Then something suddenly
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1943-11-04

went wrong, ad one day he walked
away, leaving his wife with a baby
son.
He stopped in a town only TWEEN
ty-fve miles distant, and there
changed his personal appearance
and his name, and went into a new
vocation. In the next fifty years he
lived in three other places, none of
them more than fifty miles from
where he had deserted his wife and
child.
He became locally prominent I'M
der his assumed name He never
communicated with his wife or son;
and she made no effort, so far as
anyone knows at this day, to learn
what had become of him. To her
and to her people he was as one
dead. In time he married "a second
time; and recently he died; and his
widow survives.
The son by the first wife, some
years ago, tried to learn something
about his father, but inquiries yield
ed nothing. The only thing anyone
knew was that the man had come
from out of nowhere, married, be-
come father, and disappeared.
And no one seemed ever to suspect
that man of considerable promi-
hence, within a distance of fifty
miles, was the deserving husband
and father. The man confded the
story to a friend shortly before his
death; but thus far, for some reason
not given by the writer to me, it has
not been revealed to his son.

Virginians will commemorate, on
Armistice Day, November II, the
150th anniversary of the death of
General George Weldon, soldier,
patriot, postmaster and famous inn
keeper of Colonial times.
His Rising Sun Tavern at Fred

Washington's brother Charles about

In the taproom of the Tavern on
January 10, 1777, Thomas Jefferson,
and four other prominent Virgini-
ans met by order of the Assembly
and framed the first draft of the
bill that was later passed as the
Statute of Virginia for Religious
Liberty. This statute was later the
basis of the first article of the
Bill of Rights of. the United States
Constitution.

Clarity Rules On
Naval Enlistrnents

Numerous conflicting storie s
about present day enlistment pro-
cedures for the Navy have resulted
in many confusing situations among
men of Maryland, especially among
young men of the II to Is group.
In an effort to clarity the regula-
tons pertaining to Naval enlist
ments for men of II, Lieutenant H.
R. Stone, Officer in Charge of Navy
Recruiting activities for Maryland,
issued the following statement:
young men who have passed
their seventeenth birthday but who
have not yet reached their eigh-
tenth birthday can still voluntarily
enlist in the Navy, providing they
have their parents or guardians
consent. Young men of this age
making application should bring
with them to the Recruiting Station
their birth certificate or some other
proof of age such as baptismal GER
tifcate or official record of date and
place of birth.
The Navy offers young men of II
many advantages and opportunities,
one of the most important of which
is free schooling Every Navy man
| is given the opportunity to qualify
for one or more of the many Trade
Schools where men are trained to
be specialists in their choice of near
ly SO different trades and profess
sions. This schooling is of untold
value to the young man during his
time in service and when he returns
to civilian life after the war it will
better equip him to be better prof
liable citizen.
Young men of II will be enlisted
in the Navy for a minority cruise,
or in other words, until they reach
their 21st birthday. At the same
time, a man will be given the OPP
portunity to re-enlist, providing he
can meet the physical and other re-
quirements. A man who thus makes
the Navy his career can look for
ward to retirement with regular
monthly income after 20 years ser
vice.
Physical requirements for enlist
ment in the Navy are less stringent
today than ever before, and young
men of reasonably sound health
should have no trouble in success
fully passing the physical examina-
ton.
The only way to get the complete
story, Lieutenant Stone continued
is to visit in person the nearest
Navy Recruiting Station"
Complete details concerning en-
listment in the Navy are available
at the Navy Recruiting Station
City Hall, Hagerstown.

Randolph, John Paul Jones, young
James Monroe and others.
When the war came, Innkeeper
Weldon became lieutenant colonel
in the Third Virginia Regiment,
later winning promotion to colonel
and then brigadier general, and for
a time acting as adjutant to Gen.
Washington. He commanded brilli-
antly at Brandywine and German
town. Wherever he fought, his
great figure and stentorian voice
were prominent in the conflict" one
historian wrote of him. He also
played a prominent part in the
siege of Yorktown.
After the war, Gen. Weldon be.
came first president of the Virginia
Society of the Cincinnati, founded
in his tavern. A few years ago a
tablet concentrating this event
was unveiled at the tavern, with
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of
staff of the U. S. Army, guest
of honor.
One of the tavern's memorable
events was the Peace Ball held
there in 1881 to celebrate York
towns fall. Gen. Washington, with
his mother, Mary, leaning on his
arm, attended, as did Lafayette,
Rochambeau and Mad" Anthony
Wayne.

Mr.. and Mrs Harry E. Savers, SOC
Summit avenue, have recently had
two very interesting V-Mail letters
from their cousin, Lieut. E. P. Sny-
der, who is stationed somewhere in
England. Lieutenant Snyder, whose
home is in Dubois, Pa, has been
overseas about six months.
The lieutenant, a reconnaissance
photographer in the Army Air
Forces, told in his first letter of be-
ing on a mission over France, flying
$4,000 feet when his radio suddenly
went dead and, as he was flying by
instruments, he was completely lost.
He headed the plane in the direction
of what he thought was England and
started coming down. When he
dropped out of the clouds at 1000
feet, he was over land, but still had
no idea of his position. Dropping
down still lower, he spotted a flying
field and the familiar sight of U. S.
soldiers. When he landed, much to
his surprise, he was only 40 miles
from his own base.
In the second letter, the lieutenant
told of trying to bring in an English
Spitfire, after the air compressor had
gone dead, leaving him with no
brakes or flaps. He managed to hit
the runway, but couldn't stop and
went right on through a barbed wire
ENHANCEMENT, across the highway,
finally coming to stop in a farm
er's wheat field, with no worse re-
suit that damaged prop. In tell
ing of the incident. the lieutenant
said he guessed he should have bailed
out, but was anxious to save the
plane. He also added that he had
always wanted to travel around the
world, but now he has been far
enough and the sight of the U. S.
was all he wanted

There is also tendency to ex-

Japan itself Wake is useless. 1t is
isolated from the sources of air

supply problem. 1t is too small to
accommodate a strategic attack force
large enough to be decisive against
Japan.
Besides, as soon as we can bomb
Japan from Wake, it will be no
less true that Japan could bomb
Wake. And it could do SO far more
effectively because it could apply
immense bombing strength since 1t
would be working from primary

mathematician to figure out that the
economic potential represented by a
strong naval task force-carriers
carrier planes, battleships, cruisers
and other escorting vessels-if con-
verted into four-engine bombers
would be vastly more effective. Not
only would such bombers provide a
lot more destructive weight, but
their aggregate defensive fire power
would exceed the total that could be
made available from carriers.
One more factor needs to be con-
sidered. When an enemy is at
tackled by air power alone, only his
fighter planes are drawn into COM
bat. His bomber force remains
dormf~; in fact, it itself represents
target for the attackers. But
when We bring some of the air
power on board ships under naval
escort, we are providing convenient
targets for the enemy's bombing
and torpedo aircraft.
In terms of attrition, therefore
attack by combined surface and air
forces works out to the benefit of
the defending forces, whereas at
tack from the air alone, by land
