Wilson, who had a strong

Born in Staunton, young

there when he was a year old.
However, until he was IS, he
spent many vacations in
Staunton. While a law stu

whose health was delicate,
broke school sessions with
rest periods at a farm near
Staunton.

A Short Story.
RAINY NIGHT.
BY ROGER SPLINTER

The street was black mirror
with yellow moons growing larger
as each automobile came. and mer-
ging as the cars passed, their tires
kissing with the Wetness.
The man stood at the curb, his
shabby overcoat collar up, deficit
ing The steady chilly drizzle, his
shapeless hat pulled low, his hands
deep into the pockets of the coat
that was part of the dimness, al
most blending him against the dun
wetness of the implanted wood of
the houses
The taxis were full, none stopped
The man sWore softly to himself
and hunched his shoulders and
watched the dull yellow moons grow
and swish past tossing the flicker
of twin red stop lights back at him
through the drizzle, derisively.
Then long black car slowed with
the smooth suddeness of an expen-
sive mechanism and head poked
from a descending window.
Hey. you on the curb. you
look soaked Want ride down to-

The man in the sodden coat hes

Q Three Tips to Korean Vets
who Want to Keep CT Insurance


Three tips to veterans who have
special Korean CT Insurance were
offered by Veterans Administration

erans," VA announced, "have taken
out special term insurance available
to them upon separation from ac-
tive service"
To these new policy holders, and
to those who plan to purchase the
low-cost government insurance,
VA has this advice:
First get into the habit of pay
ing all premiums when they are
due Although the law allows
"grace period of 81 days during
which the policy remains in effect
even if the premium due is not paid
veterans should consider this provi-
sion an emergency measure and
save II for such an emergency.
Second, DO NOT SEND CASH
through the mails in paying premi-
ums. Use a check or money order

the street with flamboyant colors.

Pastor Proves Value Of Prison Services

Once a year the Rev. George
E. Schnabel. pastor Of st. Marks
Evangelical U. B. Church, goes
to jail.
The first time he went to con-
duct week-long preaching mis-
sion at Nappanoch IN. " State
Prison eight years ago it was
with uncertainty and trepida-
ton.
Several things have since hap
pened to make the popular Arl-
ington minister change his mind
completely.
Has Dramatic Experience.
One was an incident that took
place two years ago. After each
service Mr.. Schnabel sees pri-
vately those prisoners who want
to talk with him. When this
worship service was over, pris-
oner came to the minister.
Pastor" he said, you know I
am up for parole in two weeks.
The only reason I wanted to get
out on parole was to come back
and kill man. I hated him.
To-day you were preaching on
the love Of God and what Gods
love could mean in a mans life.
Suddenly I looked at this man
and all the hate was gone. I
don't hate him any more. All I
now want to do is to get out and
to be a good citizen"
Mr.. Schnable has had similar.
though not as dramatic, inter-
views during his annual visits to
the prison.
Beginning Was DiscOuraging.
But the first step toward this
rapport with the inmates was not
easy. In fact, the opening day
was so disheartening he was
ready to pack up and come home.
Il felt stymied and SO made
AAe~SS AL AAAJ AuAAS udSC d1lO lily dp.
proach that I was ready to give
up" Mr.. Schnabel explained.
That day as he unhappily
turned over in his mind the prob
lem Of what to do, the word
identification" suddenly popped
up. He picked up some cards and
put down a few notes. Among
them was the idea. that Christ
was once on trial for his life.
This was the first statement
Mr.. Schnabel made at the serv-
ice the next day. Immediately
there was perceptible relaxing
OF tension by the prisoners and
their interest was aroused. It
was something they under
stood-it was an identification"
with something in their lives.
From then on the mission
