Charlottesville, with its great /
University of Virginia is beau
tiful town. We found wonderful
country all the way, and we got to
Waynesboro for lunch. Near this
bustling manufacturing town is
located the marble palace Swan
nannoa, owned by Walter Russell.
It was originally built by retired
Richmond couple in their late
years, a white marble monument
to their vanity, and which they
soon left when they died.
DIR. Walter Russell, a distin-
guished American painter, poet,
engineer, sculptor, writer and now
81 years old bought the palace,
and with his wife, Lao Russell,
conduct the Walter Russell Found
alton. Part of it is a homestudy
course in natural science, philo-
sophy, religion and kindred
sciences. It's great formal gardens
as well as the big house are filled
with statuary. 1t has magnificent
shrubbery. The place is worthy a.
visit, having so many mementos,
and souvenirs of famous people.
Leaving Waynesboro, we drove
down the interesting and exciting
skyline drive, which through the
foresight of the National Park
Service and large investment on
the part of our Government, has
preserved a magnificent scenic
wonder for the enjoyment of
Americans.
We left this drive at Lexington,
and followed the highway through
the delightful Shenandoah Valley,
with its many caverns, and the
Natural bridge, which we had
visited before, and in late after
noon reached the city of Roanoke
with it's 100000 people, and where
we began our honey moon 20 years
ago. In Roanoke we visited again
the movie of Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs.
Sunday morning at nine o'clock,
we took off, bound for North
Carolina, down through Danville,
and in to Roxboro, Durham, and
to Chapel Hill we found beautiful
scenery, good roads, and pleasant
travelling. We visited our daugh-
ter Mary, who is attending school
at the University, and then took
off for home, stopping only in
Washington for a short visit to the
Warrens, and on leaving Washing
ton ran into terrific rain and wind
until we got to Hyde County. We
reached home at 10 pm. Sunday
after travelling 900 miles.
1t was refreshing journey in
deed, but so much riding added up
to lot of soreness that calls for
a few days rest before recovery.
Altogether, it was we'll worth
while. Williamsburg itself is one
of the greatest projects in the
country, and the marvellous resto-
ration made possible by the gift |
of Rockefeller millions has pro-
vided America with something to
inspire it for many generations to
come. All those who visit it will
learn more readily of the begin
nings of America, and the sacri-
fees on which the great things
we now enjoy were founded hun
dreds of years ago. Of course there
were some who at first offered OPP
position to the great job that has
been done at Williamsburg, but. it
would now be hard to find anyone
who doesn't call it a great thing.

/ REFRESHING JOURNEY
BUT RIDING is TIRESOME

| never see little automobiles on
the road without thinking that /
would not like travelling in so small
a vehicle when every minute l
would be afraid some larger car
would run right over me. Twenty
nine years ago, Catherine and l
embarked on a honeymoon journey
through the valley of Virginia in
a fairly newly Model A Ford, a
car which at that time seemed
completely adequate.
Saturday of last week we were
travelling along the highway be-
tween Richmond and Charlottes-
vile and we passed as many as
25 model A Fords and numerous
Model T Fords, all in good condi-
ton. Some of them were clipping
along at 40 to so miles per hour.
But by comparison with today's
cars, they seemed surprisingly in
adequate on our much travelled
roads of today.
I never learned where they were
going. Maybe there was a show
or contest scheduled for these old
models, some of the old Fords
having shiny paint, and brilliantly
polished brass work on their radia-
tors.
We took off from home early
Friday morning, intended to visit
the new pageant, The Confederacy
at Virginia Beach, but after visit
ing number of Dare County peo-
pie in the Marine hospital in Nor
folk, we decided to go to Williams
burg and may be to visit The
Founders.
In the hospital, we found Claude
Jones of Manteo, Arthur Meekins
of Stumpy Point, Marchant Meek
ms and Mrs. Caroline Midget,
also of Manteo, Mamie Haywood of
Kill Devil Hills, Mrs. Lilly Peele
of Hatteras, Mrs. Dallas Miller of
Avon, and Mrs. Grace Mann of
Manteo.
The trip across Hampton Roads
bridge-tunnel was most interesting,
with views of ships in the Roads.
When we got up to Williams
burg, it was too late to see The
Founders, so after snack, we
drove on to Richmond, where we
stopped to see Andy Griffith in
'tNo Time For Sergeants," and
they had truly made him more
handsome than he appears here at
home, where most of the time we
see him in town relaxed and bare
footed.
Going up toward Charlottesville,
we stopped at a motel and on Sat
urday visited Monticello, the home
of Thomas Jefferson, a great man.
sion of 35 rooms, built on hill.
The old boy lived in grand style,
and he must have been a million
aire to maintain so large a place,
but l am told, shortly before his
death at SO he had been losing out
financially, and was about to di-
vide up his place and sell some of
it in order to keep going.
A visit to this place is highly
recommended because of what it
tells us of the early history of our
country, and the foresight of its
founding fathers who provided so
well for us, but so much of which
has been thrown away.

Important turning points in his
tory sometimes occur almost I'M
noticed at the time, only to be
recognized much later as marking
the end of an era and the beginning
of another.
1t was a month ago that congress-
men from city districts and from
farming areas marched down the
aisle to the we'll of the House to
give their names and be counted
for and against debate on an
omnibus farm bill.
When the talley of 'yeas" and
mays" was announced by the clerk
city congressman outnumbered farm
congressman by 2l4 to III, and
thus was born a new and powerful
bloc, the City bloc, in Congress.
The Farm Bloc had been defeated
for the first time in history, on an
almost straight division of rural VS..
urban votes. 1t was the day that
the farm states congressman knew
would come sooner or later, but it
nevertheless shocked them.
Balance of Power
The defeat of a farm bill was
not unprecedented, but the division
of votes was. Democrats from 81
urban districts had defied their
party leaders to join 161 Republi-
cans to kill the farm bill. Only
81 Republicans voted with $50
Democrats for debate on the bill.
The balance of power in the
House now has followed the over
whelning population shift to cities.
Although a minority for the past
so years, farmers have continued
to get favorable legislation because
they had no organized opposition.
