Girl Drum Majors Will Drill at Fair A parade of high school majorettes will be a feature of the California State Fair to be held at Sacramento September 1-10. It is planned to hold the march of girl drum majors on September 10 as one of the afternoon events before the grandstand. The majorettes will appear as a group from each school entered, but the event will be non-competitive. A contest, however, for individuals will be held and a trophy awarded. Each school appearing will receive a suitably engraved plaque. Some entries will be from junior colleges. All of the high schools of the state have been invited and Secretary-Manager Robert Muckler reports early entries from those nearby.

By WARREN BAYLEY MOUNT VERNON, VIRGINIA—The Washington title to Mount Vernon dates from the grant of 1674 to John Washington, great-grandfather of George, and dedicated by inheritance and purchase to Augustine Washington father of George. It was the known as “Hunting Creek Plantation.” In 1740 Augustine deeded the plantation to Lawrence, elder half-brother of George, who built a new house and re-named the property “Mount Vernon” in honor of Admiral Vernon, under whom he had served in the West Indies. In 1752 Lawrence died and two years later George acquired title from Lawrence’s widow. It was five years, however, before he could make the plantation his home, owing to active military operations against the French and Indians. In 1759 he married Martha Curtis, a young widow with two children. In the spring of that year they took up their residence in their new home. Both the Curtis children were reared at Mount Vernon. Washington had no children of his own. Although a wealthy man in low right, Washington’s marriage added materially to his wealth. Mrs. Curtis was one of the wealthiest women of her day. As a result, Mount Vernon was developed... HOME OWNERS’ LOAN CORPORATION, a corporation, Plaintiff, vs. HIRAM B. STUCKER and ALLIE STUCKER, husband and wife, Defendants.

It was then as "Hunting Creek Plan" in 1740 Augustine deeded the town to Lawrence, elder half of George, who built a house and re-named the city "Mount Vernon" in honor of Laurence Vernon, under whom served in the West Indies. 152 Lawrence died and two later George acquired title Lawrence's widow. It was years, however, before he make the plantation his dwelling to active military units against the French and British. he married Martha Curry young widow with two children. In the spring of that year he took up their residence in new home. Both the Curtis' men were reared at Mount Vernon. Washington had no child of his own. ough a wealthy man in his right, Washington's marriage materially to his wealth as Curtis was one of the wealthmen of her day. As a re-ount Vernon was developed on the show places of the county. Funds were raised by individual subscription and a two hundred acre tract, including the mansion, wharf and all subsidiary buildings was acquired in 1858. The estate had long been unproductive; the buildings had unavoidably depreciated; gardens and grounds had suffered. A comprehensive plan of repairs and restoration was immediately inaugurated. While the mansion itself remained, its furnishings had been distributed among the members of the Washington and Curtis families or sold by executors after the death of Mrs. Washington. The house was refurnished with period pieces; but year after year, by purchase, donation and bequest, the furnishings that were at Mount Vernon in the time of Washington are being acquired. At the present time most of the pieces on the first floor, and all of those in Washington's bedchamber are original. An additional collection of articles related to Washington and his life at Mount Vernon is housed in a museum building located on the grounds. Since 1859 the tract has been enlarged to 475 acres, an area sufficient to insure the property against undesirable encroachments. In 1938 over 500,000 visitors were attracted by its beauty and historic value.
