: Rector's Sermon Is Tribute To Dr. Hunter
The sermon at Emmanuel
■Episcopal Church on Sunday
morning, carried by Radio Station
WARR, was In the form of
<fe tribute to Dr. Frank Patterson
Hunter, who departed this
ilfe on Friday, Oct. SO. The text
delivered by the rector, the Rev.
Robert W. Orvls, follows:
> It Is unusual In the Episcopal
Church to make personal re-marks
about the deceased
during a funeral service.
. Doubtless, It Is thought that
xlt Is unnecessary for those who
.knew him, and unimportant for
those who did not. But I can do
><this In a regular Sunday morning
church service.
A "saint" Is one accounted
as being "holy" or "blessed"
-or even as a "hero" In the eyes
rof many.
i In the Church we assume that
'to be a saint, one must be dead,
burled, and listed on the calendar
of Saints. The gospel for
today, All Saints Day, gives another
emphasis. Christ describes
saints (see p. 257 in the
prayer book) as those with humble
hearts, who loved righteousness
and mourn evil.
Saint Paul addresses his conemporales
as "saints," aware
if their fellowship in a comnunlty
baptized "In Christ."
The whole of Warrenton and
if Warren County are saddened
iy the death of Dr. Frank
'atterson Hunter last Friday,
)ct. 30. I do believe that he
nay truly be accounted as a
iaint in our midst.
TT
Frank Patterson Hunter
waa born In WarrMton, the aon
of Mr. and lira. Clement Hunter.
He received his e^rly education
In this community. He
did his undergraduate work at
the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. Completing his
work at Charlottesville, Va., at
the Medical Center of the University
of Virginia In 1925,
be Interned In Philadelphia, Pa.
Ha began his medical practice
In Warrenton In 1927. Since
that time he has held an important
place In the life and
leadership of the community
as have very few In Its long
history. This Is quite a bit to
say, for Warrenton has produced
many outstanding men and
women in past decades, principally
in the areas of education,
politics and literature.
Many would consider that Dr.
Hunter might well be acclaimed
as Warrenton's FIRST CITIZEN.
This Is based first and
foremost on his complete personal
dedication to his profession
as a physician and a man
of medicine.
His kindness and generosity
to all is well known, especially
among the disadvantaged of our
county. His medical patients
numbered In the thousands,
and in the days since his private
clinic, which antedated our
modern Warren County General
Hospital, to the present time,
his reputation as a diagnostician
(or "internist, "as is currently
preferred) has been
solidly established.
All of his accomplishments
have been underglrded by an ongoing,
fundamental sense of
humor which gave balance and
strengthening to himself and
others In facing many a thorny
problem. A well told story
has often been his best administered
medicine.
We honor Dr. "Pal" Hunter,
especially because In these
later years he has fought so
valiantly against the great
handicap of falling physical
health. The devotion and care
given him by his wife, Ola, In
these difficult times makes her
all the more beloved and admired
by her family and by all of
us.
The role of religion was
strong in Dr. Hunter's life.
Attendance upon the regular
worship services of this, his
parish church, continued
throughout his life, until recently
prevented by his increasing
disability. Among
other parochial positions, he
held the office of vestryman
in Em manual parish for Innumerable
terms. He as atrue
son of the church, was ever
Her strong protagonist.
The Warrenton Lions dub
calendar of 1968 honored this
man with a cover picture of him
and his grandson, Frank Patterson
Hunter, in. Underneath
this attractive photograph were
the words: "Dr. Frank Patterson
Hunter—Beloved and Consecrated
Physician - Gallant
and Chivalrous Gentleman."
The effect of his life among us,
and the spirit of his personality
will long to with us.
Warrenton has lost a truly
outstanding citizen. Religion
and social causes have lost
a mighty supporter. Hundreds
of citizens of all walks of life
have lost a knowledgeable doctor
and healer. Community
leaders have lost a trusted
counsellor and mentor. Each
of us has lost a personal friend.
To his survivors: his wife,
Ola Smathers Hunter; his son
and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
P. Hunter, Jr., and their two
children, of Charlottesville,
Va.; his sister, Elizabeth Hunter
Weston, of Warrenton; and
her children and grandchildren;
his nephew, Edward Davis, who
long made his home with Dr.
and Mrs. Hunter. To all of
them and many others attached
to the Hunter household we
extend our deepest sympathy,
and our assurance of continued,
constant prayer to Almighty God
for strength and courage in their
loss.
As pastor and minister of this
fine family, I know you Join
with me in praying to our God
and Saviour, that He may look
with favor and mercy upon the
soul of Frank Patterson Hunger,
departed this life.
Rest eternal grant him, O
Lord, and may light perpetual
shine upon him. AMEN.
Well done, thy good and faithful
servant. Enter thou Into the
Joy of thy Lord.
olicies Of Selective
iervices Are Revised
| Scott Gardner, Chairman, of
Warren County Local Board No.
t, announced this week that Sectlve
Service policies have
wen revised to allow a regisrant
classified In H-S, I-S(C),
*S(H), n-A, m-A (Hardship),
>r in-A(Fatherhood) to drop
'is deferment In favor of a
"A classlflcatlon. provlded the
eglstrant requests In writing
that his current deferment be
cancelled.
This change In policy should
be of particular Interest, Gardner
said, to selective service
registrants who hold 1970
lottery numtars higher than
the highest number reached by
the board. As of October 30,
1970, Chairman Gardner stated
that the highest lottery number
reached by this local board is
173.
"It Is not anticipated," Gardner
added, "that this local board
will exceed number 173 as ahigh
for this calendar year; therefore,
it will probably be to
the advantage for a registrant
who holds a 1970 lottery number,
and who Is currently deferred
In D-S, I-S 00, I-S(C),
n-A, m-A (Hardship), or III-A
(Fatherhood), to request the
board to cancel his deferment
If he has a lottery number
higher than 173."
Gardner further pointed out
that If such a request is received
by the board from such
a registrant, he will be reclassified
In I-A. This action wUl
permit the registrant to be placed
In a lower draft priority
during 1971.
"B Is, however, most important,"
Gardner added, "that any
registrant who desires to make
such a request to do so Immediately.
This win assure the registrant
that the board wUl have
an opportunity to act on his request
either In November or
December."

While recognizing that young
men holding lottery numbers
over their local board "high"
could effectively limit their vulnerability
to the draft by being
classified Into I-A by the year's
end, Gardner stated that "the
law allows young men to elect
whether they will apply for ade-.
ferment and, therefore, those
young men who are granted deferments
shoula be kble to drop
them if they desire."
"Our purpose," Gardner
added, "Is to achieve fairness
to ail registrants in determining
their priority status on
January 1 of the (New Year,
and to limit whenrar possible
the uncertainty and anxieties
that yoting men wlthnf^»lbttery
numbers may have."
Gardner further stated that
if any Registrant of this local
board has a question concerning
the best procedure for him
to follow, he should visit the
local board office for information.
