In the last generation every sec tion of the country has originated regional celebrations that rival in color and splendor the best of Eu rope's fetes. - One of the most unusual and lav ish of these spectacles is the an nual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. Its theme: 'The bounties of nature are the gifts of God." The festival is set against a beau tiful backdrop of some 700.000 ap ple trees that look. in their gowns of pink and white bloom like a vast convention of lovely bridges. For two days some 500,000 visi tors throng the historic streets . which once knew the stride of George Washington and Stonewall Jackson. BIG TIMES , There are so many parties, danc es, parades and pageants during the festival that a man going to one is likely to meet himself com ing back from another. People drive hundreds of miles to attend them. The unusual thing Is how a city of less than 15000 population can stage a show of such proportions. The secret behind it is a story of community effort and cooperation based on home-tbwn pride. "There are no full time profes sional workers,", said Tom Bald- Girls, Parents Have Outing The Wahanka Camp Fire Group, their parents and friends, made ' up a six-car caravan trip to the Lava Beds National Monument, April 27. At the Lava Beds, Ranger Gene Kridler soent the entire dav lead ing the group through the Cata combs, the Skull Cave. Mammoth Pit, Fleener Buttes, over the entire site of the Modoc War, ending at Captain Jack's Stronghold, and ana men escourted the caravan on over the Petrogylphs. He gave the grouD interesting ex- planaUons of the various sites, and of tne Modoc War. The group paused for lunch at tne Indian Wells Camp Ground, where the girls roasted wienies and marshmallows. Parents and girls alike enjoyed the outing very much, and ap preciate the courtesy extended them by the Rangers. Wahanka group members pres ent were Twila Greene, Susan Derby, Carol Larson, Bonnie Fied ler, Carol Herman, Judy Pleser, and Patty Phillips. Guests of the girls were Sharon Jeschke, Gloria Wallln, Patty Smith. Jane Larkin, Candy Conner, Dorothea Geary, Elaine Fry, Sandra Leach, Joyce Howard, Joanne Derby, Lavllla Burke, Adelle Edwards, Gerry Her man, Dick Pleser, Anne Hende son. Parents who went along were: Mrs. Lloyd Derby, Mrs. Stanley Pleser, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Greene Mr. and Mrs. Clay Larson. Mr. and Mrs. R. E.

"But we have 2.300 volunteer workers and we start planning a full year in advance." Some 1.600 students and teach ers worked months to prepare "The Harvest of the Years." a pageant highlighting Winchester's crowded 200 years. The citv. oldest community west of the Blue Ridge, changed hands more than 10 . times during th Civil War and more than 100 en gagements were iought in its vicin ity. This vear the festival queen was Nina (Honey Bear) Warren, 18-year-old daughter of California's governor. She was crowned by Ber nard M. uarucn. Some 5.000 marched in the pa rade. which featured more than 60 drum and bugle corps. LIMIT "We finaDv had to limit the num ber." said Baldridge. "We've had bands come from as far as Miami to march with us." . The festival is about a $250,000 production, but the community doesn't look on it as a money;mak ing venture. "People can come here and see our show without ever spending a single penny," said Baldridge. And that's exactly what a lot of them do. They even bring along their own box lunches. When the festival is over, the en tire community is glad to lean back and relax for a few days and then the planning starts for next year.

Observers Believe Russ Not Ready for War Now By ETON C FAY WASHINGTON (APi A growing Impression among top American military leaders that Russia won't launch a hot war soon appears based partly on a belief the Soviet Union needs more time to put her armed forces and economy uivrcatl iness. Tills is in addition to more obvl- Lous reason Including the improved VUllUillUIl Ul MIC II1UVUU1 UC1VIUC setup in Western Europe, and the bald fact that Communist Russu has been doing exceedingly well with just a "cold" war of subver sion, pressure on weak nations, and promoting a "little" war in Korea. Over the week-end. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther. chief of staff of the combined Western Defense Forces in Europe, pointed up what he and others had said before. In a radio interview he expressed belief tho Russians would not attack this year or in the near future. In fact, he declared he did not subscribe to the doctrine that war is inevit able. ATOMIC BOMBS ' Gen? Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has commented that among the rea sons the Russians have had (or not starting war is the superior atomic stockpile of the United States. American air power and the collective security arrange ments in Europe. But he added "we don't know what the Soviet imperialists intend to do." The e Bradley was making a dis tinction between two types of as sessment: Intention and capaclllty. The Intentions of a foreign power are something usually evaluated by diplomatic experts. Its capabilities are analyzed and assessed by the military.
