Some Theories
On Jones Point
By JACK JONAS

A couple Of theories have
come forth since the request
was made here for informa-
ton about how Jones Point
got ITS name.
One is that it was named
for Col. Cadwallader Jones,
who had a large land patent
up Accotink Creek. He pat
ented it in 1877.
Col. Jones was Governor of
the Bahamas for four years,
from 1890 to 1894. In 1899,
after he returned to his Vir-
GINA holdings, he drew a
Potomac Valley map. regarded
as excellent for its time. That
theory seems the most plaus-
ible.
Another theory is that the
name stems from a Jones
Tavern once on the point.
Advertisements for the tav-
ern have been noted in 1918
Alexandra newspapers.
Jones Point was the Virginia
terminal for a Potomac River
ferry from Oxon Hill, Md. This
ferry, dating as early as 1740,
operated under the sponsor
ship of various names, in
succession - West, Anderson,
Thomas and Fox.
A good place for a tavern
in those days was at a ferry
terminus, to catch the hungry
and thirsty after long coach
or horseback rides.
But it had been Jones Point
at least 81 years before the
Jones Tavern ads appeared.
1t was called that in a news
paper account of the laying
of the Districts first boundary
stone there. That account
said:
1.-THE mayor and common
atty, together with members
of the different lodges of the
town at 8 o'clock waited on
the commissioners at Mr..
Wise's, where they dined, and,
after drinking a glass of wine
to the following sentiment,
viz:
May the stone which we
are about to place in the
ground remain an immovable
monument to the wisdom and
unanimity of North America, ,
the company proceeded to
Jones Point. :"

Single Campaign Sought
The new fund, incorporated
here in January. aims to reduce
the number of separate fund
drives in the Washington area
by staging a -time-for-all'
campaign each year. 1t follows
the pattern already established
in $50 cities and towns across
the country.
Fund policy puts strict limits
on the kind of outside appeals
member agencies will be al
lowed to conduct. For example
the Boys Scouts and the Saliva
ton Army, long members of the
Community Chest Federation
/ had to agree to cut down on GER
tain appeals before they were
admitted.
The Boy Scouts have agreed to
give up their annual sustain
ing fund campaign" for spon-
sors, which has been held every
year in addition to the Chest
campaign. The United Givers
Fund, in return, will allocate adj
ditional funds to the Boy Scouts
to make up for the loss of this
separate drive.

Never a Vacation
The boys have never been to
camp. of course, nor have they
ever had a vacation.
A helping hand from the
community in findind a foster
home for his sons meant a lot
to a father who could have let
them roam the streets-or left
them altogether = but who
wouldn't.
Mr.. Jones looked for a way to
give his children the best break
possible. Camp will be another

two boys and their father, who
have everything but money.
