Nylon Takes on Many
Forms in Manufacturing

Nylon is not the name of one
material, but that of a family of
dozens of synthetic chemical sub
stances which are made into hun
dreds of different kinds of arti-
cles, says Golfers.
Besides being produced in fiber
form for knitting and weaving,
they are also made in single fila
ments for use as brush bristles
and window-screen netting, as
well as in plastic form for mold

stronger, too, because they are triple-braced,
This added strength increases tread life.
These money and time-saving features
are responsible for today's farm preference
for Firestone Ground Grips. And they are
the reasons why it will pay you to have
Firestone Ground Grips on your present
tractors and to specify Ground Grips when
you buy new tractor.

MYTH traditional leisure, charm
w and graciousness, Virginia
proudly upholds it's titles of "Old
Dominion" "Cradle of Nation"
and Birthplace of Presidents"
Rich in historical associations, the
romance of Virginia is interviewer in
warp and woof of a nation, its ira
ditions and lore deep in the fibre OF
its people.
A part of old England was trans
planted across the wide Atlantic, its
laws and standards set up in rich,
new land. Through hardships, wars
and trials, those principles took on
new growth, the virgin soil added
new strength and new meaning.
They blossomed in George Wash
ington's wisdom and talent, in the
magic of Thomas Jefferson's pen,
in the rousing voice of Patrick Hen
ry, and in the genius and under
standing of Robert E. Lee.
At jamestown, the first perma-
nent English settlement in America
was made in 1907. At Yorktown in
1871 the American Revolution end
ed with the surrender of CORVALLIS
and the British army. Williams
burg, settled in 1852, is said to be
the oldest incorporated town in
America, and was the capital of
Virginia from 1899 to 1850. The
Commonwealth was the scene of
many campaigns in the Civil war
which closed with the surrender of
Lees army, April, 1865, at Appomat-
tox court house near Lynchburg.
The Commonwealth of Virginia
was named for Elizabeth, England S
virgin queen. Heaven and earth
never agreed better to frame place
for mans habitation," Capt. John
Smith declared. 1t was he who
claimed this new land for his queen.
Virginia's territory once included
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia. When Charles II was
crowned he wore robe of Virginia

the English kingdom should consist

Virginia has been the birthplace
of eight Presidents, including Har-
rison, Taylor and Wilson, who were
elected from other states. George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe and
John Tyler were residents of Vir-
ginia when they took Office. The
names of other Virginians, howev-

literature, art and science. Includ-

 FRONTIER GAL"
 NOW AT CAPITOL

An all expressing action melo- drama with some of the most mag nificent mountain scenery in Ameri- ca, brought to the screen in the full glory of Technicolor, is Uni versal's production of Frontier Gal" now at the Capitol. Yvonne De Carlo is co-starred with Rod Cameron, her tall and handsome leading man of the previous film.
 Miss De Carlo, in the role of a feminine saloon keeper in g pioneer settlement. is extremely eff fective in the colorful assignment. Cameron is seen as a cowboy fugi- tive who becomes her unwilling husband and returns from a term in prison to find himself the fath- CT of her tiny daughter. Beverly Simmons, an attractive movie new conner, appears as the child.
 Kidnapping of the little girl and a rugged rescue in the mountain wilderness, provides the picture with it's major thrill. climax which may very well be accorded a prominent niche in cinema tradl- tion.

Gold Found;;
 Stampede On

CRESCENT CITY. Calf, Sept. 16 The days of '49 have come again here in a new stampede inspired by discovery of gold.
 Citizens of this little community, in the extreme northwest corner of the state, are filing claims as fast as the local printing shop can turn out blanks. Outsiders are be- ginning to pour in.
 A persistent, grizzled prospector, Tom Cronin, 55, made the new gold strike this week For l2 years he had been trudging into the rug ged timber-clad mountains north of Crescent City. He brought out samples. Assayers found them worthless.
 Then Cronin played a "hunch." !" He took sample of ck-streaked yellowish clay from plateau at a 3,000foot elevation about 18 miles north of Crescent City.
 An assayer ran the tests-and told Cronin he apparently had found rich vein. The samples, the assayer said, ran as high as $75 a ton. Commercial gold operations are regarded profitable on ore assay ing as little as SIP a ton

NAVY IT. TWEED
 GIVEN BAD TIME
 AT GUAM D0ING5
Resentment Displayed at Charges Made in His Re-
 CentIy Published Book

GUAM, Sept. 16.-A group of 100 Guamanians. led by Catholic priest, demonstrated with booes and placards today against Navy It. George Ray Tweed, the man who eluded the Japanese during their 3l month wartime occupation ot Guam.
 They expressed resentment at Tweed's assertion in his recent book that a Guam priest, the Rev. Duen- as, had disclosed confessional secret as to where Tweed was hid ing. Word eventually reached the Japanese and Tweed escaped cap ture by a narrow margin, he wrote.
 Tweed returned with a new auto mobile as a gift for a Guamanian friend he credited with helping to save his life during a precarious existence dodging incesSant Japa- nese pursuers during the war.
 As the presentation ceremony opened a crowd of 100 marched into the plaza muttering angrily and bearing signs of protest
 Among the inscriptions were i've resent Tweed's appearance on this island" "our necks for a Chevro- let" and be square, be decent, be off"
 Tweed, of San Diego, Calf. strode toward the marchers and snatched "a sign reading what about Weeds desertion in the face of the enemy?" and tore it to pieces, stamping it 'underfoot.
 The Guamanian demonstrators, led by Catholic priest, booed loudly when Tweed approached the microphone to speak, but marched out of the park in a body.
 Tweed presented a 1946 Chevro- let to Antonio Areto, the man who showed him a hiding place in the hilly back-country of Guam and who brought him food once weekly for 3l months. Tweed said he was sincerely grateful to the many Guamanians who aided him and re- gretted he could not give each one new car.
 Catholic priest Oscar Calvo, ex- blaming the demonstration he led. said Tweed in his book Robinson Crusoe USN' had accused the Rev Duenas, another Guam priest, of "betraying the secret of the con- fessional."
 The Rev. Calvo said the Japanese tortured and eventually killed Fath- CT Duenas.
