+, A feature article ON page 40 Of
the November q. 1855 issue Of the
Richmond Times Dispatch told Or
the old Ca Ira Mill. The article
interested me. so shortly there
after. when I made a trip to Rich
mond. I returned by way Of the
old Mill at Ca Ira. and I<took 4
picture Of it. showing its five
stories.
While not going inside the his
toric structure. I gained the i'm
preston that the mill is stiH
strong and structurally sound.
Because the article said the min
was built in 100. and because Of
the association Of the well known
Revolutionary Patriot Peter Fran
cisco with the Ca Ira Mil. think
it would be a fine thing for your
Fishing Club to preserve the old
mill. The article told of plans to
tear the mill down in March
1850
In owning the Mill. your Club
not only possesses one of the
Nations Oldest buildings, but also
one Of Observation-Disclosures with
its old fashioned small size
window-panes which are so typi-
cal OF Colonial architecture.
The 1897 grist mill just South
Of the town limits of Strasburg
Virginia has been preserved. II
was converted into a tavern. am
inclosing a postcard picture of il
to indicate that these old mills dc
have historical values.
Also in harmony with the sug-
gested preservation of the ole
Mill, are the recent steps that have
been taken toward the restoration
Of the attractive, old l84O) Grace
Episcopal Church at Ca Ira. The
preservation of these two build
ing will save the village of Ca IRA
from oblivion.

Reminder : From a Kids Sobs

WE CAN ONLY WISH the driver of the
" car that hit and killed Chip" Simkins'
dog last Saturday had remained to witness
events that TRANSFERRED few minutes af-
ter the sad little incident on High street
near the Little Buffalo River Bridge.
Chip" is only lad of IL and losing
pet dog is difficult experience for boy
that age. Try to tell him his dog was only
a bumb hrute? Oh, no!
Too many times Chip felt the moist,
warm nuzzle calling for attention or re-
questing game of throw and retrieve. Too
many miles they had trod together, silent
''pardners" Investigating the world Too
many wags of the dogs tail at Chips voice
had assured him there was true faith
full friend
Chip must have remembered at that
moment as the pet made his last dying
gasps for tears streamed down his face
His whole heart went into those gentle,
hopeful strokes of his hand across the still
warm coat of~the pet.

Virginians Speak!

4 RESOLUTION OF INTERROGATION
"A has been introduced in the Virginia
Senate. It is couched in calm, direct, con-
else expressions which show the feelings of
the people of Virginia. The resolution
simply interposes the sovereignty of the
Commonwealth of Virginia between the
people of Virginia and the May ID, 1854
decision of the U. S. Suprme Court strik-
ing down the long established principles of
racially separate public schools on an
equal but separate" basis. The resolution
is not as strong in its language as we would
have wished it to be, but there can be no
mistaking the fact that Virginia will de-
mand, perpetuate and preserve the sover-
eign rights and powers not delegated to the
general government under the ConsSitu-
ton.
The resolution sets forth the reasons
for the interposition and then declares:
THEREFORE,, the General Assembly of
Virginia. invoking that Divine Guidance m-
pleaded by her people on July 4, 1776. when
first they declared themselves Free and indie

under our mutual compact to make. and
specially requests them to join her in making
proper application to the Congress. which APP
plication is made on Vrgna's part hereby. for
the purpose Of calling a convention pursuant to

would consider and propose an amendment

pointed out that "a Navy wife
must be a real helpmate to
her husband, and learn to
manage a home and family
while he is away. This makes
her a more responsible person,
knowing that she is really help

for the service man, but is
good for his family also"

A pretty, brown-haired Navy
wife was due to fly into WASH
ington from MAXI today on
the next lap of an exciting
journey which will take her to
some Of the biggest cities in
the United States and end in
Honolulu, Hawaii.
The trip was just one of the
prizes won by Mrs. Beverly
Ellis of Norfolk, Va, when she
was crowned the first Mrs.
United States Navy two weeks
ago by Secretary of the Navy
Charles S. Thomas.
Her Big Day
The big day in Mrs. Ellis
life was September Is, when
she was selected from a field
of 80 Navy wives from all over
the world as winner of the
Mrs. United States Navy con-
test. sponsored by the Fleet
Reserve Association.
For the rest Of her life, Mrs.
Ellis will probably remember
that memorable day in Long
Beach, Calf, when she and
the other 20 contestants were
signally honored with the big
gest fleet review the United
States Navy has ever held on
the West Coast.
Mrs. Ellis. with the other
contestants and S ecretary
Thomas, sailed into the Long
Beach harbor on a cruiser
through a water pathway lined
on either side by an armada Of
Navy ships ranging from de-
stroyers down to a variety Of
amphibious craft.
AS the lone cruiser made its
way through the armada, the
flagship of each division fired
a personal salute to honor the
contestants.
Later in the afternoon, the
Nays famous Blue Angels"
aerial tricksters performed in
tricate flying formations as
their salute to Mrs. United
States Navy.
Sharing Mrs. Ellis pride in
this memorable event are her
husband, Alfred. a personnel
man, second class, and their
two children. 6-year-old
Alfred, jr. and 2-year-old Judi
Marlene.
Actually. it was Personnel
man Ellis nomination of his
wife as a contestant for the
Mrs. United States Navy title
that was the beginning
of her good fortune. Contest
rules called for her writing a
500-word essay stating why
I'm Proud to Be a Navy Wife"
Mrs. Ellis was chosen by the
Fleet Reserve Association as
1.-THE wife who has contributed
most to making her sailor
husband happy in his chosen
profession-the United States
Navy"

We had a chance to talk to
her that day as she read

having her hair combed, and
getting ready to change into

Miss Arden says we are cur
rently in the best era" Of
cosmetics American women
have ever known. The pale
makeups being worn are the
loyeliest. The worst period
American women went through

cult. Happily, such is no
longer the case. A pale face
can be pretty one and man

Miss Arden. that mothers to-
day look like their daughters?"
Though great strides have
been made in the beauty bust
ness there are things that
women must do to make them
selves more beautiful.
Must Feel Beautiful
A hard and cold looking
woman, no matter how beau
tifully groomed and made UP,
is not beautiful. Miss Arden
went on to say that women
must feel beautiful through
out for cosmetics to do the
best possible job for them.
Beauty clinics are one way
Of showing women the routine
to follow in being better look
ing.
Exercise is the most inn
portant thing. says Miss Arden.
"A woman must not let her
body get DID," she added. Then
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-01

learning to derive the max
imum from her cosmetics is
necessary. The value of these
clinics is that women are
shown the right way to treat
themselves and their skin. If
they don't follow instructions
they are the ones who get
nothing from the experience.
All this Miss Arden feels most
emphatically.
Woodward & Lothrop's "The
Beauty of 1t" clinic will be
held during the week beginning

at 1890 and 2::30 each
day through Saturday. On
