nected disabilities, unless the
widoWer was physically or men
tally unable to support himself
and was completely dependent

In fact, he would nearly back

OF the total production, Col.
Wilson states, Some Of the
original marauders might be a
little disappointed saying that
this is not exactly the way it
was and it isn't. l never
realized before how difficult it is
to make a movie about com

CHARLOTTESVILLE June %
The reconstructed birthplace
of Thomas Jefferson on a ridge
not far from his home at Monti-
cello is now ready to receive
visitors. 1t will be opened in
formally next Saturday.
Hundreds Of thousands of peo-
pie make the pilgrimage to
Charlottesville every year to
wander through Monticello, the
estate which the author Of the
Declaration of Independence de-
signed and built for himself.
Many of those visitors express
a desire to see the site of the
house in which the Virginian was
born. But. until now. all there
has been to see we're the pas
ture-land acres of "Shadwell',
about three miles from Month
cello's gate. The house itself
burned to the ground in ITO.
when Thomas Jefferson was 26.
The reconstructed birthplace
is a memorial planned and OPP
Grated by the Jefferson Birth
place Memorial Park Commits
sion.
At first only the main house,
completed last year will be
open to the public. Later the
commission plans to reconstruct
Peter Jefferson's once prosper
Gus tobacco plantation, complete
with a barn, dairy. kitchen. 9th
er outbuildings and a grist mill
on the Rivanna River nearby.
No one knows what Peter JEFF
ferson's home really looked like.
Exhaustive research of Jeffer-
sonian writings provides no ac-
curate description. The birth
place house, as reconstructed, is
a modest one and a half story
plantation home typical of Pied
mont Virginia in the mid-18th
century.
The house is being furnished
with furniture of the period IL
3O-1770. Some Of this has been
donated, some has been loaned,
and some has been purchased by
the Commission.

land at "Shadwell" from his
