A Second Home
At The Mint, the unvar-

hearted Russell liked to lounge
and meet men of his own plain

The Mint as his second home

woman curator Of the Russell
Gallery here. But the old
timers who shared bar stools at
The Mint with Mr.. Russell
snort at such "prettifyin'."
Harry Stifher, the elderly
caretaker Of Old Town at the
North Montana Fair Grounds,
says: Russell traded his paint
ings for whisky to Bill Rance
and then to Sid Willis. Every
body knew that. Charley liked
to drink and he treated all his

Wyoming when he met Mr..
Russell.
In 1895 Charley married
Nancy Cooper, whom he met
at a friends house, when he
was invited for dinner. Sid
Willis once said: up to the
time of his marriage Charley
had no idea of the worth of
his paintings. Nancy was smart
enough to recognize their value
and push him forward"

$4,000 Total Value
Shortly after Mr.. Russell's
death in 1925, Sid Willis started
a drive which led to establish

studio and residence as q me-

the same lot, was opened re-

Mr.. Willis sold The Mint for

the transaction. The value of

to Texas, was given as more

According to the oldtimers
who still make The Mint their
hangout, the saloon has
changed radically since the
days of Charley Russell. But it
holds tight to Charley's men,

on the walls and paper copies

The Arlington County Board
yesterday unanimously ap-
proved q special use permit
for construction Of a center
for retarded children at North
George Mason drive and Nine

The location. which is near
Arlington Hospital. was OPP
posed by many residents Of
the Tara-Leeway Heights area.
The board had deferred action
on the request after a lengthy
public hearing last month.
Planning Director Thomas
Moore said the location was
logical" because the hospital.
the Crippled Children's Clinic
and the County Health Center
are located there. The Planning
Commission approved the To-
cation last week.
Board members gave assur-
ances that there would be no
expansion beyond the 19-acre
tract on which the community
facilities are located. They also
said they would not approve
any intrusion Of private COM
mercial enterprises into sur
rounding residential areas.
The board approved the per-
NIT on condition that no pa
1tients be treated who would
require special security meas
ures. that they all be out

The Bethesda-Che Chase Kiwans Club has some

The club has been selling the flags IS to raise money

On the other hand maybe the 49-star banner will be

It all started about six weeks ago when the club ordered
500 of the 49 star flags hoping be the first area group
to offer the new Old Glory for sale.

NEW u OF VA PRESIDENT
Shannon Plans to Continue Teaching
BY DAN POOLE
star stan Writer

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va.
Mar. IA few days after he
had been named president Of
the University Of Virginia, DR..
Edgar r. Shannon. jr.. was
going through some Of his late
mothers personal effects.
Among them he found q
paper she had written for an
advanced writing course ct
Radcliffe College while his
father was working on his doc
tor Of philosophy degree at
Harvard University.
The paper was entitled, "The
College Professor Who Becomes
O College President" It pre-
scented the case for placing q
scholar at the head Of an In
stitution Of higher learning.
It's conclusion was that o
teacher and scholar who is in
vited to become an administra-
tor. has no alternative but to
accept. It would be selfish. the
paper stated. for him to con-
tinue with the more congenial
life Of teaching and writing.
Written 50 Years Ago
"How prophetic" DR.. Sham
non observed. THAT paper was
written In 10000 years ago.
and 10 years before I was born.
And yet today 1t tells me how
my mother would have felt
about my decision. It's odd that
I didn't find it until after my
recent appointment"
The University's Board Of
Visitors selected DR.. Shannon
on February %. ending an
eight-month search for @ sue
cessor to former Gov. Colgate
w. Darden, jr. He was chosen
after board and faculty COM
mittees had screened 161 can
didates for the post.
DR.. Darden. who announced
last year that he will retire TO
his Norfolk home after serving
- years as president. will step
aside this summer. In the
meantime. the 62-year-old
State leader is orienting his
youngssuccessor.
Several factors figured in the
selection Of the 40-year-old
scholar to head the historic
university founded 140 years
ago by Thomas Jefferson.
Primary considerations were
his youthfulness, his scholastic
achievement and his leadership
ability. according to university
spokesman. Several national
figures were considered at vari-
GUS times. -
But Dr.. Shannon was the
front runner from the first
time his name was mentioned.
And he maintained the lead
throughout the careful SCREEN
ing procedure.
Its mighty unusual, though.
