ha .e little appreciat ion of the
t»-au- lful in knowledge that cleanliness
is next to Godliness.
It is difficult to keep the streets
clean when some of our own people
as well as many visiting the town
toss candy wrappers, cigaretboxes,
paper napkins, soft drink bottles
and beer cans from their cars not
on]\ m the business streets but
sometimes in the yards of our citi
/ens. At the foot of shaded walls
and benches, and even doorsteps of
business hcjses, where citizens
sh. uid be able to 'est amid pretty
surroundings, are to 1 found not
onlthe wrappers of candy but the
irays, spoons, cans and soft drink
bottles from which persons have
enjoyed their lunch. It is simply unU'lievable
how little concerned with
be aut \ art many of oui people,
some of whom - xpi'ess concern with
{Kiilution of their environment at
the time they are polluting their
own su. roundings.
If this project of making Warrenton
Clean is to be successful, it is
going to take more than the efforts
of this fine bunch, of young women.
It is going to have to have the help
of every individual, whose first step
should be to determine that they will
not be guilty of littering.
In addition to individual and group
action, it seems to us that a major
step toward the goal of the Little
Garden Club would be the passing of
in ordinance by the Town Commissioners
with a stiif penalty for littering
and instruction to our police
officers to enforce it.

"How wo.Lid you like to havo
been born on Friday, June 13,
19137 And tiow would you like
to have been named Jefferson
Davis? Well, whether this babyliked
It or not he was stuck with
it. Before you start oaylng 'Oh!
my; wh.i a shame; thai poor
boy, why tie Is bound to have
no'tiing but bad luck!" Well,
1 don't know how lie did It but
h. turned those two socalled
drawbacks around to the point
where they became assets
throughout his life. 1 don't
rr.ean 'thoughout his life' because
that kinder sounds Ilk.' he
ain't living now.''

Hi writes wiM imv ,
v. 'h w it and l:ir> -re-,. He tells
i' , w> in-, sons now 'lead, of
i:.a.i> others who have left the
community, but there are Quite
i numtvr still living here wtm
rememtxM the characters of
whom Jeff writes
He relates that he was turn
at the old Pwltt> place ni the
Baltimore Road, now owned t .
Kenneth Mustlan. "Anyhow,"
tie wrote, "1 lived at the
Twltty home with my Daddy, I
Jefferson Davis l'almer, Sr., j
Annie Twlttv Palmer, mother,
and sister l.allah FittsPalme.,
who had the longest and prettiest
tiair I ever saw, and
I used to ya.". k it at ever) opportunity—and
there were
quite a few opportunities.
"There are a lot of things
I could write about living In that
old home, but they can't tie
covered In one article; except
one, the time Lallah threw sand
In the face of a snake which was
colled unck'r a tree trunk
in the front yard. There were
just two blurry treaks running
Into the house. Father came
out and s,lowed me what a big
game hunter he was and shot
that reptile with a long double
barrel shotgun from about DO
yards away In thai way you see
if he had shot him from too
close a range he would have
made the big kill too messy and
also from that distance, If he
missed, he had a head start. My
Pop was a great one. If you
don't believe it, ask me,"
The temptation Is great to
keep on quoting Jefferson Davis
to fill this column and give our
readers a different slant on old
times In the town, but I have
no desire to spoil the readingof
his article.
Actually, the article was conceived
as a result of inviting
Jeff to tie my guest columnist
for a week, and perhaps for
two weeks when I first glanced
at It. But Its length made
this not very feasible, and its
Interest dictated it being run
as a separate feature.
Several weeks ago, Jeff, In
complimenting my efforts, said
that he would like to write
about his own boyhood days.
Picturing a vacation from my
writing of the column, I Invited
him <o be my guest columnist.
Jeff came into the office last
Wednesday morning when we
were up to our necks In making
up the paper and preparing it
for the press. I had only time
to glance at the article and
realize that It was too long for
the original purpose.
"Cut it, edit it, change it,
run it In Installment, or not at
all," Jeff told me in the brief
time in which we talked. I
decided that I would have to do
one or more of the things that
Jeff had suggested.
Following the placing of type
in the newspaper there is always
a lull, lasting from 30 minutes
to an hour, while other of the
force take over in the making of
negatives, the insertion of
photographing, and opaqulng
before I take the paper to South
Hill, Va., where it is printed.
I used thts lull to read Jeff's
article.
After rifling through the
pages to notice its length, I
began to read the article, with
mounting Interest, which continued
to its end. Knowing that
it was not suitable for my
column on account of its length,
and recognizing its worth, I
decided to run it Just as Jeff
had written it, with no editing
and no cutting. I hope, and I believe,
that our readers will enJoy
It Just as much as I did.
A single shrimp may produce
more than a million eggs, the
National Geographic Society reports.
But most of the billions
of larvae spawned each year
never reach adulthood. In their
early stages, they starve unless
food floats to them, and they
are food for everything that
swims—Including older shrimp.
