One hundred and eighty-four years Is Unit little more than double man's allotted time, but that number of years ago there was born in Virginia the boy destined to become the "father of his country." George Washington was great not alone because he was able to meet opportunity, but because he could create the opportunity. ,. Washington was born to wealth, as wealth was counted in 1732. At the age of 27 he added to bis landed holdings through marriage, and was rated as one . of the rich men of his time. But greater than his acres, Washington considered the welfare of his people, and the years of his manhood were given to freeing Amer ica from the British yoke.
