The general supposition is that it was named for George Washington, but residents of the town recall many fables in con nection with the derivation of the name for that particular location. A story coming from there tells us that— Citizens here say this place was the first postoffice to accept the name of Washington—and today they paid their respects to the Father of His Country—but older residents came out with other stories. One said that in the old days Washington was the logical place for sailors to stop on Saturday, and that they made a habit of washing their clothes here. Thus the set tlement came to be known as Wash ing Town which later was changed! to its present name. Another story had it that an old Indian squaw was seated by the river here washing her son Tom when sailors, passing in a small sloop, called out asking the name of the place. The squaw, misunderstanding, answered that she was "washing Tom.” The sailors understood her to say the place was Washington. Still another version says an old negress slave did a few .deeds of bravery and was freed. This naturally threw upon her the ne cessity of making her own living which she did by taking in wash ing. Tradition has it that she went about the community yelling "wash ing done” and that Washington is nterely idiom for her advertise ment. NEW FICTION SECTION It’s new!

Robert Reynolds Makes Address (From The Catawba Pioneer) Addressing the International Re lations club at Catawba college, Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina bitterly condemned "any short-sighted national policy that accepts war as inevitable” and declared that adequate protection for American shores and strict neu trality to keep the United States from being involved in old-world irttrigues will assure ever-lasting peace. Mr. Reynolds, who has been one of the senate’s most out-spoken critics of American entrance into the world court, was heard by a large audience composed of stu dents and visitors who centered in Salisbury to hear the North Caro linian. He was accompanied to Salisbury by his secretary, Wesley E. McDonald, at one time associat ed with the late Senator Overman. "I stand for adequate national defense,” said the senator, "and I favor full respect for the traditions of American patriots. But I do not believe that this requires accept ance of war as inevitable. I have little patience with such conten tions. The long and peaceful re lations of Canada and the United States is living proof that nations can exist in international harmony. "For many years, particularly since the world war, there has been a continuous effort to involve the United States in all the intrigues and land blundering of the old world. We should endeavor to maintain trade relations with all countries. This is essential to the welfare of our people and the wel fare of those of other lands. Beyond this, we should get out of Europe lock, stock and barrel, and remain out. We cannot maintain peace and be the referee and financial angel for secret intrigues of power seeking crusaders, who ignore all buman rights.** with reierence to the iirst-nana information gained in his recent studies and travels abroad, Senator Reynolds continued: "It has been my pleasure to visit many lands. I have seen residents of these foreign lands at work and at play. I have conferred with their leaders. And I am more than ever convinced that there are no threats to our desire for peace; that no na tion has ideas of conquest in the United States or in any of our far flung possessions, and that we can maintain peace with all countries so long as we have a policy of neu trality that is open and above board and is neutrality in its strict sense. "Nevertheless, adequate prepared ness is the greatest of peace in surance and it is a matter of record that ' no one invades or interferes with the home of a well-armed man who knows how to shoot! that goes for nations as well as individuals.” The senator said that there are three essentials for international un derstanding, and listed them as: tolerance and understanding among the peoples of all lands; respect for the rights of these people at home and abroad, and abolishment of "secret diplomacy” that requires public approval after the damage is done. “Fortunately,” Senator Reynolds asserted, "our ship of state is today guided by a man who has seen the horrors of war. He has lived through decades of treaty-making and treaty-breaking. He enjoys the respect and honest admiration of world leaders. And I belive that President Roosevelt and his trusted lieutenant, Secretary Hull, are lay ing, and will continue to lay, the foundation for national security and peace.” 1 ouching brieriy on congressional action, the senator expressed the opinion that when the senate re jected American participation in the world court, a new and brilliant chapter in the history of campaigns for peace was written. He said: Within the last twenty-four months—a brief span of two years, we have witnessed the utter futility of the League of Nations effort to settle foreign disputes. If foreign powers cannot and will not make concessions to each other, there is no earthly reason to believe that the "good offices of the United States” will have the magic effect of making arbitration easy. I am proud of the small part I had in keeping our country free from an other doubtful international alii ance.” Addressing himself directly to the members of the Catawba college class, Senator Reynolds continued: "You who have chosen to study foreign relations should be proud of that choice. You will be amply re warded for your efforts. The world is today crying for leadership in the fields of international peace. It must be intelligent leadership. And intelligence is acquired through study and understanding.” Following his address here, Sena tor Reynolds and the members of his party left for Charlotte, where the senator spoke Saturday night, after which he visited his mother in Asheville and returned to Washington on Monday. It was learned that the senator plans, soon after the adjournment of congress, now anticipated for May, to return to North Carolina for the summer and fall. It is ex pected that he will make a number of addresses in the state in the in terest of the whole Democratic ticket, national and state. Senator Reynolds arrived here by automobile about 6 o’clock from Chapel Hill. He and his secretary Mr. McDonald, had dinner at the Yadkin hotel with Mr. Barringer. Dr. Omwake presided at the meeting, explaining briefly the aims of the club after which Miss Neely McCubins, president of the club, introduced Senator Reynolds in a short, appropriate manner. She also announced that Senator Reynolds had been made the first honorary member of the club. After the address, an jiformal tea was served by the members of the club, assisted by home economics students, at which members of the club, student body and local citi zens had an opportunity to meet the senator. ■ -I r Talke^to!Bruno | TRENTON,.
