The DivisionVf Information and Pub lication of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission retails this event and the interest at taching to it, in connection with the forthcoming celebration next year com memorating the two hundredth anni versary of the birth of George Wash ington. Washington, as the outstanding mil itary figure in the Colony, was a nat ural xhoicc to represent Virginia in the Congress. In all he served as Con gressman for a period of about three months, for when the second Continent al Congress met in May, 1775,, he was again a delegate from Virginia. Hsi appointment as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, on June IS, ter initiated his congressional activities. Events in 1774 were very disturb ing to peaceful relations between Eng land and her colonies. The opposition to what the Americans felt was high handed treatment on the part of Par liament anil the British ministry had already flamed into open resentment. A Congress was called in a last effort toward reconciliation, and for united action in defense of colonial rights. It was nearly two years before the Dec laration of Independence was to sever the Colonics from the mother country, and there was still hope of an adjust ment of the difficulties. Washington's appointment to Con gress was not made by popular elec tion as is the case today. In fant, Governor Dunmore, of Virginia", cor rectly considered as illegal or extra legal the entire procedure of the Vir ginia convention and its appointment of Washington and his colleagues Mo the Ctmgress. • 1 It will be remembered that Wiysh- THE ENTERPRISE ington had served in the Virginia House of Burgesses for 15 years. The Burgesses went too far in June, 1774, in their denunciation of Parliament, to suit Dunmore, and he dissolved the House. The members met in August as the "Virginia Convention," and named delegates to the Continental Congress. It was in this convention that Wash ington is credited with having made one of his few speeches. It is said to have been the most eloquent speech of that meeting despite its extreme brev ity and lack of oratorical preleiTsionSf Washington's remarks were occasion ed by the plight of of Bos ton, whose port had been closed by ministerial decree, and whose com munication with the outside wortd was almost cut off by the presence of the British army under General Gage. When the situation was being discussed in the Virginia convention, Washing ton arose and said, according to the account as handed down byStyhn Adams: "I will raise one thousand men, sub sist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the re lief of Boston." The Congress met first in thq City Tavern in Philadelphia, elected P Randolph president, and adjourned to ;tn»cntcr's Hall, where the remain ing sessions were held. Washington attended the second Congress dressed in military uniform, and it is possible that he went to the first Congress sim ilarly attired. This seems to have been his way of indicating that he was prepared for the clash which every day appeared more certain. Washington's diaries record nothing of the discussions which took place in Congress. The tall, distinguished and famous yirginian, however, made a lasting impression on his fellow Con gressman. He must have participated effectively in the deliberations of th« Congress, for Patrick Henry, wher asked who was the greatest man in the jbod#-, replied: "If you speak of eta |uence, Mr. Rutledge, of South Caro flina", is by far the greatest ortator | but if you speak of solid informatior and sound judgment, Colonel Wash ington is unquestionably the greatest limn on the floor." The spirit of Congress seems to have been'one of moderation. No one ap peared to advocate independence. Wa,sh nigton wrote to a friend-in the British Army that no colony' wanted independ ence, either collectively or separately, but he assured him that if the minis try continued to "push matters to ex tremity," bloodshed was inevitable. The Congress adjourned October J6. The "Declaration of Rights," had been adopted, setting forth the atti tude of the Colonies. This declaration, moderate in tone, firmly stated that as the Colonies were not represented in A Certain Farmer— ■» * - [ i • ■ .. wanted to buy a tract of land adjoining his property.

The notice of sale was advertised through the local newspaper, according to law, but this certain farmer was not a subscriber to his county paper— and h eknew nothing of the sale until after the property had been acquired by another party, at a bargain price. J ■ • ' i It may prove costly to be without your county paper—you should read it regularly—it is a personal and direct benefactor in many instances. Besides, it is a mighty factor in promoting the industrial, religious, educational and civic progress of your community—which is an indirect and mutual benefit to all.

From Japan I Wenatchee, Wash. Oct. s.—Skidding Jo a dizzy stop, Clyde Pangborn and i Hugh Herndon landed their wheeled plane here today to complete the first non-stop airplane crossing of the Pa cific Ocean from Japan. The American barnstorming avia-! made one of the most dangerous I ocean hous ever attempted, flying near ly 4,500 miles in 41 hours and 13 min ;utes from Samushiro Beach, Japan, to j Wenatchee. j Edging his way through the crowd .at the field, a Japanese newspaper re porter handed the fliers a $25,000 jchcck, issued by a Tokyo newspaper, ( for the first successful non-stop flight between Japan and the United States. "Very glad to sec you, boys," he shouted. I Herndon M gL Pangborn were in their stockin?r leet as they climed from the plane. J "Give. me a cigarette," Herndon re quested. Pangborn laughed, i "We have been Japan so long we're still going barefooted." To lighten their load, the aviators had dropped their landing gear soon after taking off frorii the Japanese is land at 5:01 p. m. (EST) Saturday. They smashed their propeller and Herndon received a nasty gash over his eye. The plane jolted to the ground here at 7:14 a. m. (PST) 10:14 o'clock (EST). • Mrs. Opal Pangborn, almost un nerved by two nights of waiting for reports of her 37-year-old son's flight to this region, where he was born and reared, was crying with joy when he embraced her.

I The most important act of the Con gress was the adoption of the "Asso ciation," by which it was agreed that economic pressure should be brought to hear on England. By this agree ment the Colonics bound themselves not to trade with Great Britain, either by importation or exportation. It was hoped tins -would so arouse the Eng lish merchants that the ministry would be, forced to a change in policy. Al though it failed in this, it united tire , Colonists more closely in one further step toward independence, and the iCommittees of' Safetyj organized to [enforce it, were an important element in the outbreak, of' the Revolution.
