When the time comes and she gives the signal you stop whether it is on the Main street of a busy town, in front of a palatial home or along an isolated stretch of highway. It was our frequent stops to let her catch a glimpse of the good Virginia earth —Ilooking straight down—that slowed our driving speed and gave me an opportunity to make an astonishing discovery about Virginia roadsides. They are lined for miles with empty beer cans, whiskey, beer and coke bottles. This observation had its sequel when we learned more about Virginia’s blue laws that night at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. While Myra remained in her room sipping a cup of tea to settle her car sickness, I wandered down to the lobby to watch the television. There was a holiday bustle on the main floor as the hotel staff pre- pared the main dining room for a dinner dance. As I watched Henry Aldrich, the first of the young couples began to arrive. The girls were beautiful in’ their evening wraps and gowns (Myra later said it was their youth but I still insist that they were beautiful, just what anyone would expect of Southern Belles). Their escorts were equally #ttractive young men; some in tails, others in cadet and Navy uniforms. Typical FFVs, they all had one thing in common. Each of the men carried a kraft paper bag containing a bottle of liquor. A few dispensed entirely with the bag and brazenly entered the ball room clutching their bottles by the necks. arrive, not one escort came empty handed. Inquiry of another traveller revealed that Virginia has rigid liquor regulations, and Staunton even more rigid blue laws. No liquor may be served in any .public place. It is purchased by the bottle in State licensed store which may be a gasoline station, or a run-down-at-the-heels corner store. A hotel is not even peygnitted to supply the “set-ups,” which in Virginia parlance means, the soda, gingerale, ice or glasses. The following morning when we got off the elevator there was no evidence of the party except case upon case of empty, sparkling water, T-up, coke and gingerale bottles, not touched by the hotel management but waiting there by the elevator door for the bottling companies to pick them up and bill the escorts or whoever orgah- ized the party. ! At breakfast in the Hotel Coffee Shop we learned that it was only thirty-four miles up the valley to Lexington. In fact some purists do not consider Lexington as being in the Valley, but Stone- wall Jackson shall ever be associated with the Shenandoah Valley and Stonewall Jackson lies buried at Lexington where he once taught at Virginia Military Institute. Lexington is a lovely old town. Its red bricked buildings and eighteenth century architecture are sure to stop the most hardened hit-and-run tourists who have any sense of history. Lexington is what it has always been—a country market place. In addition it is the site of two great schools, Washington & Lee University and Virginia Military Institute whose adjoining campuses bely the differ- ences between the two institutions and their student bodies that make athletic competition between them impossible. To every Southerner Lexington is the Shrine of the Confederacy. with its ‘stately columns and anti-bellum architecture, and past the new Sears store with its carpet- -bagger modernity, to the spot where Route 11 swings in a gentle urve beyond the red brick home of the Lexington Chamber or C and Historical Society There. we stopped the car and re ver cross the street to the steel gates that guard the ‘cemtery whate! and his family are buried. I Cardinals flitted among the red-berried bushes as the eastern holly, I read the words of Field Marshal The Right Honorable Vis- count Wolseley, British soldier of the highest rank, which are cast in bronze on the Jackson shaft: “The fame of Stonewall Jackson is no longer the exclusive prop- erty of Virginia and the South. It has become the birthright of every man privileged to call himself an American.” : I think any damyankee could be pardoned the right to wipe his glasses as he read those lines. I was glad Myra was engrossed in the holly at the moment. Here was I standing at the grave of the man who might have divided the Union had he lived after Chancellorsville to give his talents to Lee at Gettysburg. ~ It was only a short distance over streets lovely with age and past old homes in settings of green Southern foliage to the campus of Washington. & Lee. The red brick buildings with their white porticos and typical white columns at the top of the hillside glis- tened in the January sunshine. the country. There in the old chapel, built during the presidency of Robert on the lower floor. Carved of Vermont marble the folds of the white blanket that cover the sleeping figure are so realistic that tourists often remark to the attendant, “you must have to launder the sheet frequently.” Below stairs is Lee's office, just as he is supposed to have left it, and in another room in a glass case is the skeleton of his famous horse Traveller. We could not leave Lexington without a wisit to the stark buff- bricked quadrangle of Virginia Military Institute. Here, unlike the students at Washington & Lee, the cadets live under a strict mili- tary regime, drawn closely together like the survivors on a ship- wrecked vessel. As we descended the stone stairs from the roadway in front of the barracks to the sunken garden that leads to the gymnasium, we were impressed with the bronze plaques that lined the icy-covered retaining walls: These were memorials from Brother It was these Brother Rats who were immortalized in a recent motion picture by the same name. officer of the day was a bronze plaque to the men killed in World War II—“They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them; nor the years condemn.” We should have tarried longer in Lexington, rich in culture and memories, and we might have if Myra hadn’t reminded that attainment of objectives. So with that observation, we were again shortly on our way. to reach the land of orange trees.
