Teacher Tr To Washin By FRANK EVANS The youngsters who had Mrs. Doreas Evans as a teacher this summer didn't know it, but when they discussed America's beginnings — she could have told them of a relative who was quite prominent in fighting for our nation's liberty. He was the general who knelt for his men at Valley Forge. And speaking of family trees, Mrs. Evans is not only the twelfth cousin of America's first president, George Washington but is distantly related to the man who was famous with an apple and the explanation of gravity. Sir Isaac Newton. "George Washington's mother was Mary Ball, sister of William Ball who is my several greats grandfather," Mrs. Evans said. "My grandfather Sar&e Ball is his tenth cousin." Akin To Newton Speaking of her long gray line of American ancestors, the third-grade Garden Grove teacher stated, "I only know of a few of our past ancestors who played a part in the building of America. On my grandmother's side, I am a descendent of John White who was related to Newton. In a family tree album, which was given to me sometime ago, it states the relationship of John White to Bishop John Newton and Sir Issac Newton of Laicaster, England. My grandmother's grandmother's maiden name was White," Mrs. Evans said. The family tree album which dates back to 1624 speaks of the Revolutionary War and William White, the fourth generation, who was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Militia. BUST OF ANCESTOR — Mrs. Dorcas Evans, twelfth cousin of nation's first president and kin of Sir Isaac Newton, exhibits bust of George Washington. She traces family back to 1624. Letters To The Editor Editor, Gazette: Being one of those who is concerned about the well being of dumb animals, I propose we end the misery of all strays, either by adopting them or putting them in gas chambers. This would also do away with the nuisances they commit on my property and elsewhere and would go a long way toward eradicating rabies and letting cats produce kittens only to be drowned. If we could being ourselves to handle the stray cat and dog situation this way then the owners would keep them at home and take care of them, knowing it would be farewell if they left home. There's nothing less welcome at one's house than some one else's dog. The Anaheim City Council should consider an ordinance to this end and protect us not only from rabies but from unwelcome visits to our lawns. Being a law abiding citizen I can't get up the courage to dispatch them when would keep them at home and take care of them, knowing it would be farewell if they left home. There's nothing less welcome at one's house than some one else's dog.

Being a law abiding citizen I can't get up the courage to dispatch them when they come around, unless empowered to do so by ordinance. T. D.

'My grandfather looked at me and said, 'You have'." Bible Saved Life Mrs. Evans continued: "Then he proceeded to tell me stories about our family's past and relatives who fought in every war from the Revolutionary to World War II. He told me of his grandfather, Captain John Ball, who was in the Mexican and Civil War. Captain Ball carried a Bible in these wars and there is a saber slash in the thick cover which saved his life in one of the battles. "Another story," Mrs. Evans said, "Concerns Capain Ball and a brother who fought for the South. At this time, Captain Ball, who was a Yankee Officer had to hide his brother who came to him for refuge one night. He was being hunted by an angry mob of Northern people who wanted to arrest him or hang him for being a rebel. "However," Mrs. Evans added, "Blood is thicker than water, and Captain Ball hid my great-great uncle." Then following the war, Mrs. Evans states, "Captain Ball had a beautiful white stallion and was approached by a man who offered him 165 acres of land for the horse. He refused," she said. "Today, we have a painting of the in the Mexican and Civil War was carried by her uncle while flying missions over Germany. On his 21st mission, he was shot down and killed. Among his gear found at the crash was the Bible which was later forwarded home with his other effects. Mrs. Evans' family tree has a proud and interesting past.
