Birthday Anniversary of First
American President to be
Observed Tuesday
Throughout Career Always
Longed to Settle Down at
Mt. Vernon Estate

With the United States engaged
in all-out military action at the
present time, attention is focused on
George Washington, whose birthday
anniversary we will celebrate Tues
day, not only as the father of our
country but as military genius of
| first order.
Even from the period of his earl
lest boyhood George was known for
his insistence on precision. His fam
lily encouraged him to take up sur
veying, an activity that appealed
very much to the young man. Bound
aries, angles, plots, calculations all
were entered with formality and ex-
actness on Georges books.
LIFE AT SEA
At the age of Is he had con-
suming ambition to enter a life at
sea. Many a time he was seen to
cost longing eyes at the ships which
sailed up and down the Rappanahan-
ock His mother did not sympathize
with his ambition and prevailed on
her brother to write George and tell
him of some of the hardships with
that type of work.
His mothers tears, reinforced with
the cold hard judgment of his uncle
put an end to Georges dream of
glory to be gained from life at
sea.
Prevented from realizing this am
bition George went to work in earn
est in his chosen field of surveying.
After several years Of this work the
young man began to feel that the
profession did not provide sufficient
outlet for his boundless energies and
aspirations. Whenever an idle in
terval found him at Mount Vernon
he took up the study of the military
profession.
MADE MAJOR
At this period of life it became
evident that Virginia was likely to
be plunged into the war between the
English and the French. The colony
was therefore divided into four dis
tricts. An officer, called an adju-
tant general, was appointed for each
district. Young Washington was
given the rank of major with a
salary of $50 pounds a year.
Washington served his country for
five years in these frontier struggles
at the end of which he was given
the rank of colonel. When the peace
of the frontier was assured Washing
ton retired to private life.
He was married to Mrs. Martha
Curtis on Jan. 6, 1859. Both being
of aristocratic lineage and the groom
being an outstanding military leader,
the wedding was one of the out
standing social events of the colony.
Mt. VERNON
He took his bride to his fashion
doic Soedec sit MI. NeTHOH WHICH
Washington himself described as sit
uated in "a high healthy country; in
latitude between the extremes of
heat and cold, on one of the finest
rivers in the world-a river we'll
stocked with various kinds of fish at
all seasons of the year, and in the
spring with shad, herring, bass, carp,
sturgeon, etc, in abundance. The
borders Of the estate are washed by
more than ten miles Of tide-water."
