Mary Ball Washington, 1« given no credit at all, and 1« des­ cribed as of deficient education and a “ hard, querulous, manag­ ing manner.” Even Washington, the biographer says, was "not educated up to the leves of his class." "E arly in life,” Woodward says, Washington began to fum ­ ble with love. I t was really fum ­ bling. for he was never at ease. In the technique of tove^nd love- making. In the presence of women he would often lose his simple fortright manner and turn himself into a pompous and mouthy sentimentalist— or also remain spellbound and silent.” . Unfortunately, few details are available as to bow Washington dropped or footled the ball In these various fumbling«. The im­ plication is that, either through his own fault or otherwise, Washington never made mueh progress with Sally Fairfax. A persistent tradition Is cited that he was rejected by several wealthy women. Woodward accuses Washing­ ton In the French and Indian wars, of deceiving the Innocent redskins with the Idea that Eng­ land was' sending her troops against the French merely to make the continent safe for the Indians. The author also points out that after surrendering Fort Necessity— In whose location and construction he had "combined almost every conceivable m ilitary error”— Washington signed pa­ pers of capitulation, acknowledg­ ing himself the assassin of Com­ mander de Jumonvllle aad nine other French soldiers while, ac­ cording to the French claim, they were out under a flag of truce, bearing dispatches. Woodward Is not , sparing in praise of Washington’s virtues, b at grants him only a portion of those with which Jbe is generally credited. He denies, for instance that Washington knelt at Valley and prayed loudly for divine help. “To anyone who knows Washington, the Idea of thia two- fisted fighting man going about bellowing la the woody Is g ro ­ tesque," he writes, and says there Is ne proor that Israel Potts, the Quaker who started the famous prayer story, ever aaw Washing- ington, who Woodward says was never known to pray la church and whose pastor said he never even knelt In general prayer. , Bat, on the other hand, Wood­ ward holds that Washington did not swear at General Lee during the battle of Monmouth, that hts cuss words were principally con­ fined to the expression “JBy Ood” and that he was much to dignified everJ to get himself drunk.

Tucker Phone 1F14 The many friends of Mrs. J o s h Neil are glad to know that she is at home w ith her small daugh­ ter, Joan Augusta, a fte r no Io ta a time. And we alt are la love with the baby’s name! A daughter was born, to M r. and Mrs. F. Johnson, Saturday, Oct, 9. The Johnsons live on What is best known as the Hol- burt place on the old stage road, south. The mother and child were both doing very well at last report. ’ T h e 1 meeting of the Upper Valley Community Club; which was held at the home of Mrs. C. A. Brown, Tuesday, Oct. 12, was well attended and proved an un­ qualified success. The president, Mrs. Gottsche, called the meeting to order, the minutes of a ll spec­ ial meetings during the summer were read, followed by a lengthy business session. Everything of Interest mas disposed of w ith a l­ acrity. M$s. Mary Homes Tucker was elected to the office of secre­ tary-treasurer to take th e . place of Mrs. Nell Peachy Dunn resign­ ed and the program committee took charge. ' A - committee of three, Mes- dames Joy, Barnes and Tucker were appointed to make arrange­ ments for a meeting to ba- held at the school bouse Oct. 29, to hear some one authorised on the subjects— tell us all about the measure» to come up Tor the No­ vember election that we may know best how to vote. Refreshments ware served by the hostess. The meeting then adjourned to meet at Mrs. Hux­ ley’s on W alker Ave., the second Tuesday In November unless the club house should be ready so that we could use thè club jroom. Miss 'Eleanor Swedenburg w ill talk to the members of the P. T . A. and their friends Friday night. The building Is going ahead at the club house. A lot of men who have offered their services as carpenters are held up by apple picking for a few days and then there w ill he a rush. There have never been leas than four men on te Job, however, since the work began, and we are greatful for that. A t first li was thought we would want cn»y tour or' five men at -a time, but the meu In dfcuap «ay, let any one who will k lz o ^ B « K M t >wo come od the job and they will surely be put to work. Mrs. W illiam s who lives on the old Swlgart place below the Boulevard and who has been ser­ iously 111 for some time, Is in a critical condition and little hope is given for her recovery. The highway and side roads in this community are fu ll of cat­ tle, that the recent storm and cold weather have driven In from the mountains where they have/ been ranging the past summer and fall. The long dry fall has also helped to make the feed so scarce In the hills that they have come down looking for somethfhg more to eat. Mrs. M ark True was a mem­ ber of a sewing bee held at the homo of Mrs. M . M. Tucker on the lloulevard Wednesday. The making of drapes for the win­ dows and doors w m the object of the sewing party and all we hope Is that they accomplished some­ th in g * . W o would like to state that other contributors to the cause o f-th e club house since the last report are: J. H. McGee, dry goods, either drapes for the win­ dows or table cloths; H. C. Stock, a cash donation, these are prom­ ised whenever they are called for. The Upper Valley women have every reason to bo glad when friends are so liberal. A tag day is being planned to take place soon and so use up all the tags left from last spring. Nobody w ill escape this— both in town and fe r many mllqs about.
