Stonewall Jackson’s army was marching down the Luray Valley of Virginia to Front Royal in one of history’s classic campaigns.

> Before Front Royal. Jackson halted, not knowing the strength of Union forces holding the town. At that moment he and his staff saw a woman in white run from a home below, keeping a hill between her and the village. To Jackson's aide she gasped, as he tipped his hat: “I knew’ it must be Stonewall when I heard the first gun. Go back and tell him the Yankee force is small — one regiment of Maryland infantry, several cannons and several companies of cavalry . . . tell him to charge right down and he’ll catch them all. I must hurry back. My love to all the dear boys — and remember, if you meet me in town, you haven’t seen me today.” Colonel Henry Douglas, the aide, tipped his cap. Belle Boyd kissed her hand. The Federals were routed, and Jackson, with a half smile, suggested Douglas proceed into town for more information. Douglas found her chatting with captured Union officers. She greeted him with surprised cordiality, and pinned a red rose on his uniform. Next day riding for Winchester (Middletown and Strasburg having been freed) Jackson surprised Douglas by suddenly saying: “Mr. Douglas, what do you think of the ladies of Winchester] I mean the ladies generally. Don’t you think they are a noble set. worth fighting for] I do. They are the truest people in the South.” Douglas blushed. So spoke the legendary general, 117 years ago — destined jo be killed accidentally by. his

Animals Should Not Be Exploited No animal should have to endure needless pain or torment. Inhumane treatment of animals is not legitimate sport. It should not be allowed as a money-making venture. t J r > M'Rhjfch " Ctfl ShT * - i f • y x. < A- * i,. > / 1 | | > /T -9EIP *-*- i dfIF|FAF ~ ** 1 £dL **•* * ■P BP 6 *" ' smRK * $ wBwMBMWI k -latv . *?> J < j .. -■ fß* FJl^y «r ■" 1R s **• ■i^lg , ./IbA*--. > * - -•?£. * IMCMk ~ x* - PHOTO CREDIT: THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITEO STATES In calf roping, a 200 lb. calf is made to bolt from the chute (by application of an electric prod when necessary"). Traveling at about 27 miles per hour, the animal is pursued by the contestant on horseback, is roped, brought to a sudden halt, thrown to the ground and tied by three feet in an unnatural position. Because supplemental feeding and clearing Ipnd have a tendency to gentle cattle, ranch outfits no longer do much roping.<attle are rarely any great distance from a holding pen and branding and doctoring generally are done in these enclosures because cattle can be kept quieter under fence, less weight is run off them and the work goes faster. Furthermore, the vost majority of contestants entering rodeo competition today hove not and never will participate in cattle ranching. Time is spent in following the rodeo circuit with top money winners taking home yearly winnings of from SBO,OOO to $120.000 in cash alone. Practice rodeo stock is used over and over. These animals are subjected to electric prods bucking straps, etc. and are used until worn out. These animals are usually the most inexpensive that can be obtained and are not the "valuable, high-priced stock which rodeo companies state ore pampered, well cared for animals. The Hwmm Society Os The United States is Opposed To Rodeos because the way in which they are conducted today inevitably results in pain, torture, fear, or harassment being inflicted upon the participating animal. The society rejects the contention that rodeos are a harmless showing of part of the American heritage and believes that exposure of children to the atmosphere of violence in rodeos almost surely teaches them tolerance of inhumane treatment of animals in the name of competition. < The opening statement of the operational guide concerning uniform inspection standards for rodeos published by the American Humane Association states: "The American Humane Aisociation - the federation of more than 1,000 agencies for the prevention of cruetly — Dees Not Approve Rodeo or other exploitation events using animals." Rodeos hove been banned in some municipalities. In Pinellas County, Florida, ordinances bar the holding of rodeos at the fair and bar leasing for or holding of rodeos on any county owned property stating that the fair board should not condone, sponsor or continue any part in inhumane treatmen of animals and that rodeo was not compatible with the fair. In Baltimore, Maryland, ordinances prohibit use of spurs, bucking straps, flank straps and similar devices.

One is reported to have made at least eight calls to beekeepers with no answer and no help. Another officer went to the school to see what he could do to help. Meanwhile, the Principal Lewis S. Immel called a beekeeper in Goshen and the beekeeper arrived to retrieve the hive. Elementary school youngsters got a practical lesson in bees as Greg Terpstra worked with the hive.

Wed., May 23,1979 —THE MAIL-JOURNAL

For those who listen to Jay Gould's comments on WOWO it was like w atching what one heard . . . Gould has been talking about queen bees , . . Terpstra explained the reason the bees had swarmed was because of another queen. He estimated there were between 15,000 and 20,000 bees in the hive. And. of course, we must note that the school located Mr Terpstra through an ad in the paper’ So you see. it pays to advertise and it pays to read the advertisements. —o— HELP IS needed by MAD Shots fired at motorcycle Lynn McFarland. 96 North Shore Drive Syracuse, reported to Syracuse police that someone had shot at his motorcycle The call was received at 12:33 p m Monday afternoon Police found a .22 caliber bullet in the gas tank of the 1979 Harley Davison motorcycle The damage was estimated at $l2O
