GEORGE WASHINGTON'S MOTHER August 25th marked thte 142nd anniversary of the death of Mary Ball Washington, mother of the man whose two hundredth birthday anni versary the entire world will cele brate in 1932. In Fredericksburg, Va., where Mary Ball Washington lived the greater part of her life, and where she lies buried, the shaft erected over her resting place bears a single line that perhaps tells in its half doz en words the uttermost that could be said of her. That simple line reads: "Mary, the Mother of George Washington." It would seem to be praise and glory enough for any woman. According to the little we know of Mary Ball Washington, she was a woman remarkable for her sound sense and force of character, and was possessed of the same reserve as her illustrous son. Of his military achievements she is said never to have spoken. She was proud, rather, of his character. Yet even in this re gard she contented herself with such modest comment as, "George was always a good boy." As George grew up, prospered, and entered upon his great career, he saw to it that his mother lived., in codfort and security. Though he lived some distance away at Mount Vernon, he paid regular visits to her in Fredericksburg, and she was first in his mind after every signal achievement. His diary and memo [ randa of accounts bear witness to his continued interest in her welfare The United States George Wash ington Bicentennial Commission re fers to one of these occasions. It was after the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, the event that virtually ended the Revolution and guaran teed victory to the American cause. Washington proceeded to Fredericks burg to call on his mother. Leaving Lafayette and the other distinguish ed French generals who accompanied him, the American commander-in chief went alone and on foot to his mother's house. What they said to each other has never been recorded, but the meeting may well be imag ined. Afterward, Mary Ball Washing ton was persuaded to appear at a ball in Fredericksburg, in celebration of victory. All were so impressed by her great dignity and simple yet commanding manner that Lafayette is recorded as exclaiming, "If such are the matrons of America, she maj well boast of her illustrious sons." i I COAL Winter is coming; so is m) Clinchfield Egg Coal.
