THE TIDEWATER of vir-
Il ginia Is one of the most
popular touring objectives in
the United States. because of
its historical background and
vacation facilities.
The tour outlined this week
involves between $50 and 800
miles of driving, depending
on side trips. Let us start
with the 10-mile drive to
Camp Springs, Nd, and an
other 8 miles south to T. B.,
a village noted for its un-
usual name, and from there
another 15-mile stretch to La
Plata, seat of Charles County.
Continuing on U. s. 301 for
80 miles, across the Morgan
town toll bridge which spans
the Potomac River, we come to
Port Royal. on the Kappa
. hammock River, and locale of
historic old st. Peters
Church.
Here we make a left-hand
turn over U. s. IT, passing
through Champlain, 81 miles
to the southeast. and named
for the famous French ex-
plorer. Ten more miles brings
us back to the Rappahannock
at a place once known as
Hobbs His Hole and now
bearing the name Tappahan-
mock. Twenty nine miles
driving southeast, through
Center Cross, Va, takes us to
Saluda. where we cross the
Piankatank River and head
for Gloucester, II miles fur
ther south. Gloucester was
established in l766 as a major
community when its court
house and Debtors Prison
were built.
Thirteen miles south of
Gloucester Is the ferry across
the York River, running from
Gloucester Point to York

On this site, years later, Fort
Monroe was erected.
Then we return to York
town and travel IA miles west
to Williamsburg, once the
Colonial capital of Virginia
and part of the Colonial Ma

originally known as Middle
Plantation" because it was
erected, as an outpost of
jamestown, at the midway
point of the palisade which
the settlers built across the
peninsula from Archers Hope
Creek to Queens Creek.
From Williamsburg's res
torations we drive southwest

on May l3, 1907, the ships
Sarah Constant, Goodspeed
and Discovery arrived with
los adventures, and England
had her first foothold, by way
of a permanent settlement,
on the North American con-
tinent. BY 1919 Jamestown
had become the capital of the
colony.
From this first beginning"
we start our return trip.

to Toano, where, in 1881,
Lafayette was encamped. Fur

West Point and King William,
both on the York River, and
we then drive "a miles over
Virginia 80 to Dawn, where
we switch to U. s. 3O1 and
head north for Bowling
Green. There we will see a
monument commemorating
the early-day persecution of
the Baptists.
Eighteen more miles north

that message must be expressed
in contemporary terms.
How can we make that contri-
button? I believe mainly in
fighting for human rights and
inter-group harmony, fighting
against bigotry, and promoting
equal economic, social and edu-
cational opportunities for all. We
can best make this contribution
as a part of an integrated Ameri-
can society.
The evolution of Jewish life
under democratic conditions is
an historic process. 1t is toward
the complete fulfillment of this
process in the United States that
we must become primarily dedi-
Gated. Beginning with this pre-
mise, l believe that if American
Jews hope to eliminate discrim-
ination against themselves they
must be prepared to fight for the
rights of all groups in our coun-
try. We cannot seek merely to
protect ourselves. Activities on
that level would degenerate into
sheer selfish and primitive de-
Tense measures and would be a
negation of the mission of Juda-
ism. To fulfill that mission, we
must strive in the coming year
and in future years to make our
contribution to the establish
ment of an ultimate and fully
developed democracy.
