PLEASURE VS HAPPINESS
Pleasure is a thing you buy,
Pay your coin, land ‘take it;
‘When it's gone, again you try:
Maybe even fake it.
Happiness ? It's never sold,
Like ice cream or cake; it
Cant be bought with tons of gold—
Only you cain make it.

The trip to Staunton was rough on Myra who is always car sick
on her first day out. 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

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.

often remark to the attendant, “you must have to launder the sheet

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

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
