^HAV. — YOUR PAW ? — a Buy VI ■ i,-at \ • II D R J T E NOW 0*1 MAJOR E= bbi". ■ ■ n Annual Reunion Mark ed By Keen Interest and Warm Fellowship Friday, November 23, «i MajoT General Allen H. Turaage'i day la his native town and community and the annual Tyson-May Reunion meet, which featured this distinguished son oa its program, was marked by keen Lntarast and warm cordially. From the moment the General row to apeak until the close at the' ing, he held the center of the and, though reserved and dignified in appearance, he was jrisibly moved by the spirit of genuine admiration and sincere affectum that prevailed as well aa by the words of praise and commendation spoken by Us kinsmwn. He waa "Hal" once again and ap parently enjoyed the freedom from restraint and formality which were conspicuous by their absence. General Turnage, in the introduc tory preface of hi* address, stated that "returning hon.e to fSamily and friends has always been the 'most en joyable events of my nomadic life." Paying a high tribute to family life and to "those great, courageous souls who preceded us," the General pointed out that the Pilgrim Fathers brought their wives and children with the expectation of building new and permanent homes on these shores, and recalled the historical fact that the unmarried settlers, who went first to Virginia, were so discontent ed that they sent to England for brides and were thus able to make permanent settlements, proving the General's assertion that "men, who have tried to live outside the realm of family life have inevitably failed." The General related some of his experiences on Bougainville in the campaign, in which the first terri tory to be recaptured from the Japa nese was launched, and told of inci dents, which moved him deeply in re calling the hardships undergone by his men, whom he called "unglorified heroes." He spoke feelingly of their sacrifices made that their children and grandchildren might inherit a land still free. "We" must keep the faith - with those men and all the fine young men, like them, who have done us and our children a priceless service," he dnrLaj-Mi. "Our ultimate goal," he- said, "is a family of all nations in" which dura ble peace and mutual compassion prevail. We" hope, and should work for the eventual goodness of all own kind. Let no one say that long-range planning of this kind is an idealism to be scoffed at In it, as a matter of fact, must lie the eventual salva tion of mankind. "America must stay strong physi cally as well as spiritually. Pre paredness is my special concern, as a military man. But it will never again be, I hope, the special concern of only military, and naval men. It should be the concern of all the peo ple of this country." The General has seen war as "a task—a heavy, grievous, grim and unwelcome task—not a sword swing ing^ .parade ground job," and in this connection stated; "J saw thousands of our boys fight ing their hearts oat, suffering pain and death. Soma at them had only a vague notion of the cause for which they fought, hot they believed hi it And they belwved hi the judgment of the men burdened with leadership, who were striving to win the moat violent war of all time with the least possible bloodshed and loss of life, "I tried with all my God-given might never to let them down en the field at action and I do not propose to let thm dowpi now. They to give this nation security and : Through their effort and we now .have that security and peace, and I say that if we throw these we again, it will breaking of good mander. The invocation was offend by Rot. E. & Coates, of the Presbyterian Church, who later conducted the memorial service also. Mayor J, W. Joyner extended a cordial welcome to the reunion organ ization and honored goesta on behalf of the town. The president, Mrs. W. H. Gillette, Jr., of Richmond, Va., made a short address in which she traced the bia tory of the Tyson reunion, founded 25 years before* and paid tribute to Grigs: Tyson, the founder, who was her own grandfather. She talked also of the May family and of the wakBng of the two groups into a strong re union organization. Mrs. Edward May, secretary, gave an interesting report of the Jast meeting. The genealogy report was given by Miss Tabitha DeVisconti, who had on display the two family trees of the reunion. Special recognition was giv en'to descendants of Grigg Tyson at this time. The period devoted to family remi niscences was ably presided over by Walter G. Sheppand, of StaAw Hill, wlio spoke on the value of a good name and reviewed achievements of prominent members and war veterans of both families. Mr. Sheppard recommended that a roster of all veterans of the families serving in all the wars be set up together with an honor roll ot those making the supreme sacrifice.
