He was always kind and true,
With loving heart and a smil-
ing face,
We were devoted to each other
too.
He is gone, it leaves us sad,
Even though he is living still;
1t was hard to give up our pre-
cious dad,
But his going was Gods will.
Now the day is over,
And time is going by,
ooh" how much we miss him,
AS ne climbed the hills so high.
He is gone to Heaven,
Where he can be at rest,
In the arms of Jesus,
Folded to his loving breast.
He often told us children
While he was growing old,
To meet him in Heaven
Where the streets were paved
with gold.
Around the old fireside,
There is a vacant chair,
Where he was always sitting,
When his pain was growing
severe.
He bore his sickness with pa
tience,
The pain he did not fear,
He knew he was going home tc
Jesus,
:. And time was drawing near.
I could have given him up much
better,
If only l had been by his side
When he had to say farewell tc
us,
And cross the swelling tide.
Daddy is gone we say with weep
ing,
His voice we hear no more,
But knowing he's only sleeping
Praising God forever more.
Our father will always be pre-
sent
Absent though his smiling face,
In our hearts he'll live forever,
Nothing else can take his place.
I think of him lying silent in his
grave
So cold, and still, beneath the
clay,
But God is watching over him,
Until the Judgement day.
Written by his daughter,
Mrs. Quincy Turner.

Lying on his hospital bed,
Knowing that he was suffer-
ing and would soon
Be numbered with the dead.
I cried myself to sleep that night,
Leaving him SO pale,
Asking God to keep me,
For he is one that won't fail.
AS I walked out of the hospital
door,
1 felt like on earth I would see
his face no more.
On the eighteenth of February
1947,
At five-fifty five that night,
In silence he closed his eyes,
And calmly took his flight.
Dad was lying there patiently
waiting,
For Jesus to call him home,
Where there will be no Sickness
And he will ever more roam.
Daddy is not dead but only sleep
ing,
Where he will suffer no pain
Gone home to be with Jesus,
Where we can meet him again
Daddy was growing old,
His hair was turning gray;
He always seemed to be in good
heart,
So happy and gay.
NV Daddy's love is the world tc
me,
Without his memory the days
would be long,
But with Daddy's love,
We can 60 on.
Daddy seemed to be SO near,

A court hearing on petition for
a recount of votes cast in the House
of Delegates race in the August 5
Democratic primary in Fairfax
County, is tentatively set for Sep
TENDER 8, under an order entered
yesterday by Circuit Judge Paul E.
Brown.
The petition was filed by Robert J.
McCandlish, Fairfax attorney, who
received the same number of votes,
1853, for the seat as did Edwin
Lynch, Annandale, real estate man
and incumbent.
Mr.. Lynch was declared the win
ner after his name was drawn from
hat by members of the State Elec-
toral Board August IL at Richmond.
Court attaches said the drawing is
required by State law which provides
that the recount can set aside the
results of the drawing.
Mr. McCandlish also has served
in the House of Delegates.
Judge Brown yesterday also re-
quested the chief justice of the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court Of Appeals to
name two circuit judges to sit with
him at the hearing on the recount
petition. as required by State law.
Judge Brown made the September
date tentative because it is not GER
tain that the other judges will be
able to be in Fairfax on that date.

Eisenhower Calls Fruits
OF Victory Sill Remote
By the Assoeieted Press

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 2o.-Gen.
Eisenhower says the fruits of victory
in World War II are more remote
today than when the last of the
Nations enemies surrendered two
years ago.
In an address at the annual North
Carolina Farm and Home meeting
here last night, the Chief of Staff
said:
The true significance of the Axis
defeat, measured in terms of gen.
erations, is in the opportunity It
provides for the development Of
international understanding and
organization.
This goal must remain in view. he
said, because, to allow it to dis
appear completely will be to resign
ourselves to a prospect more grim
and bleak than any other civilization
has faced"

Fall apparel attracted more at
