Final Plans

Finally. having combatted most
of the hidden two-thirds Of the
iceberg. Mrs, Bugg has been able
to make final arrangements for
the ceremony with the Bicenten-
NAL executive committee
On Sunday, September ,l2 at
a 80 p m. the formal dedication
Of the marker will take place at
KingSville. The marker will be
placed on the main highway par
allel to the location of the church,
since the site of the structure is
200 yards in from the road
The program will open with a
prayer and will include a histori-
cal sketch of the church. dedica-
ton and Acceptance Of the marker,
and its unveiling by two youthful
members of Johns Memorial.
Wonderful Cooperation
I have had wonderful cooper
alton in planning this project,
states Mrs. Bugg And she ex-
plains as examples how James
M, Granger wrote the inscription
for the marker, how a construc-
ton company donated the cement,
and how a young merchant offer
ed the services of his truck for
hauling.
Mrs. Bugg does not say so, but
we believe that two-thirds of the
iceberg she found to be soluble
only through constant. determin-
ed attack. Let her example stand
as fair warning. Success in melt
ing an iceberg down TO a size is
seldom accomplished by the luke
warm.

Plans To Mark
French's Church
Near Completion
dwelling Set
For Sunday,
September II

Undertakings are like icebergs
Only third Of the work needed
to complete the project is visible
at first glance The other two
thirds appears later That's when
real interest and enthusiasm
counts, and when half-hearted
workers lose all heart
For several months, Mrs. j.
Luckin Bugg has felt the need of
a marker for the original site
of old French's Episcopal Church.
She felt it particularly appro-
pirate undertaking for the Bicen-
tennial The church. erected in
1854 at Kingsville, was one of
three colonial churches built in

Walkers Church is no more, and
only few bricks remain to mark
the once thriving church called
Fre nchs in the once busting
communitv of Kingsvjlle
Raising Funds
Mrs Bugg began collecting
contributions from members of
Johns Memorial Episcopal Church
and the Woman's Auxiliary. All
who gave believed it to be a wor-
thy cause.
The raising of funds. however
turned out to be lust one of
many problems Mrs. Bueg was to
be confronted with before the &C
tual dedication of the marker
could take place
Already we'll familiar with the
history of Episcopal churches in
the area, Mrs. Bugg has still had
to delve into further research and
seek out church dignitaries who
might have more information
than revealed by local records
a program had to be determin-
ed--the time, the speakers. other
officials. and countless other de-
tails.
The marker itself posed prob
lens Where should be its exact
location and what should il read?
Mrs. Bueg learned that the
State Library in Richmond had
to first approve the project She
was informed that all markers
may have no more than 50, and

scription was written it had to

Mrs. Eisenhower Receives Long Sought Furniture Polish;
Brazilian Ambassadors Wife Is Constantly on the Move

You wouldn't think the wife
of the President of the United
States ever gave a thought to
such mundane things as furni-
ture polish. Indeed you can't
imagine her needing any. To
find a speck of dust, a slight
scratch or even a surface too
dull to reflect back the good
Republican face gazing at a
piece of White House furniture
is as unthinkable as war with
Canada.
Nevertheless it was furniture
polish destined for the First
Lady that caused Mrs. Ed
ward Anderson, president of
the Women's National Repub-
lican Club of New York, to
be stopped dead in her tracks
when she entered the Execu-
tive Mansion the other day.
Republican or no, the Secret
Service eyed Mrs. Anderson
askance, and took the pack
age.
She told them what it was.
but the Secret Service insisted
on seeing for themselves.
They. too. may have felt a
little dubious about the chate-
laine of the White House RUB
bling down the furniture. It
turned out to be just that.
however, when checked for
hydrogen bomb content, so it
was returned to the suspect
carrier.
If it seemed like a strange
way to be greeted upon enter
ing the hallowed halls she had
striven to put her chief in,
Mrs. Anderson soon recovered.
Mrs. EisenhoWer's expression
was one of sheer glee and de-
light. She had been waiting
for months for this particular
furniture polish a friend in
New York had promised her.
Seems as though the Demo-
Gratis ended with a duller fin
lSh than suspected.

Lady AStor is in town and the
inevitable happened over the
week end. Washington was
thrown into a furry of activity.
The well-known Virginian, who
married a Britisher, is staying at
the Sulgrave Club. Her tongue
is as sharp as ever and her sense
of humor still keen.
Yesterday, Admiral Harold r.
Stark, former Chief of Naval
Operations. and Mrs. Stark en-
tertained at a luncheon for Lady
Aston and later in the afternoon
she was honored at a tea.
The tea was given jointly by
the Commandment of the Marine
Corps and Mrs. Lemuel Shepherd
and Rear Admiral and Mrs. Neil
K. Dietrich. The party took place
at $50 at the Commandments
House and guests included old
friends of Lady Astor's. Admiral
and Mrs. Dietrich knew the
guest of honor when they were
stationed in England.
Finleys to Entertoin
This evening the Director of
the National Gallery of Art and
Mrs. David E. Finley will give a
small dinner for Lady Aston and
in the morning she will return
to Greenwood. Va. and stay with
her sister, Mrs. Charles Dana
Gibson. Back to the shack and
the black-eyed Susans," said
Lady Astor.
The Chief of Naval Operations
and Mrs. Robert Carney gave
luncheon on Saturday for Lady
Aston. The party took place at
the Naval Observatory at l
o'clock. Among the guests were
former Undersecretary of the
Navy and Mrs. John Kenney, Mr..
and Mrs. Julius c. Holmes and
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Walter
F. Boone.
Last summer Lady Aston said
she spent quite a bit of time in
Northern RhodeSia. There was
a congress of women there and
She was the principal speaker.
Asked if she was going to
write a book. she said, Indeed
not. certainly would not bore
civilization with the drivel of my
life when there are so many good
books in the libraries now"
POSITIONS Never Chonee
Lady Aston was the first wom-

history of Great Britain. She

and in all these years her cos

sleeps in a different bedroom
in the embassy every night.
It's not that she's an erractic
soul who can't make up her
mind which bedroom she
wants for her own. She
chuckles over how she has the
domestic staff non-plussed at
this constant change. But,
she said at a luncheon the
other day, the only way she
can tell what room needs to
be improved is to use it her
self, and of course, that's the
best way. At any rate the
embassy is slowly getting
chairs in this room, a paint
ing in that. a table in another,
and so forth.
The luncheon drew Mrs.
