Within the council's organization were committees devoted to salvage, transportation, war funds and campaigns, farm labor, victory gardens, consumer interests, nutrition, child welfare, library service, and health. The council's salvage committee was charged with organizing and promoting salvage campaigns; arranging the collection and disposal of salvage materials; and coordinating the salvage activities of local organizations engaged in salvage. In doing so, the committee worked with the Virginia Salvage Committee of the State Defense Council and the War Production Board's Bureau of Industrial Conservation. The committee was first chaired by H. P. C. Vandenberg, who was succeeded by Herbert W. Jackson in August 1942.","The guide to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute Civilian Defense Council Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Blacksburg - Virginia Polytechnic Institute Civilian Defense Council Records commenced and was completed in July, 2012.","The Virginia Newspaper Collection, Ms2012-034, contains issues of The Blacksburg Citizen, published by the council's information committee.","This collection contains records of the Blacksburg - Virginia Polytechnic Institute Civilian Defense Council, organized to administer and promote local civilian defense efforts during World War II.

After graduating in 1923 from Maury High School in Norfolk he attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute, earning his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree in 1927, and a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1928. As a member of the local YMCA advisory council during the 1927-28 school year Vaughan was instrumental in inviting George Washington Carver (1861-1943), agricultural chemist and educator of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, to speak at Virginia Tech in April 1928. The two men corresponded often following Carver's visit, and Vaughan visited Carver at Tuskegee that summer.","Vaughan left Virginia Tech in 1928 to work as District Traffic Manager for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company in Richmond and Roanoke until 1941. He later worked for the company in Norfolk and Richmond from 1946 until his retirement in 1971. He married Elizabeth Leary Tyler in 1935; they had no children.","Beginning in September 1941 Vaughan served as Unit Commander of the 1128th Engineer Combat Battalion in the European theatre, mostly in Iceland, during World War II. By the end of the war he rose from the rank of Captain to that of Colonel. He received the Bronze Star for meritorious service when his unit was instrumental in the Battle of the Bulge and during the Rhineland invasion preceding V.E. Day.","After the war Vaughan was active in the U.S. Army Reserve and from 1951 to 1959 he served as assistant Commandant and then Commandant of the 2086th Army Reserve Service Unit (Norfolk, Virginia, USAR School). Vaughan received the Army Commendation Medal in 1959. He also served as President of the South Hampton Roads chapter of the Association of the U. S. Army.","Elizabeth Vaughan died in 1988, and Conan W. Vaughan, Jr., died on January 24, 1990. The Vaughans left $2.6 million of their estate to the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, which is the largest endowment gift in the college's history and one of the largest ever received by Virginia Tech.","The guide to the Conan W.

Vaughan, Jr., Papers was completed in 1992. The online finding aid was created in 2002.","The Conan W. Vaughan, Jr., Papers consist of photographs, correspondence, awards and certificates, newspaper clippings, files, and other literature almost exclusively from Vaughan's tour of duty (1941-1944) in Iceland and Europe during World War II, and his involvement in the U.S. Army Reserve in the late 1940s and 1950s.","Of special interest are copies of correspondence between Vaughan and George Washington Carver, which run from 1928 to 1942. Carver's letters are affectionate and thank Vaughan for his friendship. He often refers to Tuskegee as \"God's Little Work Shop.\"","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

Lawrence Printing Company operated at least from about 1890 until at least 1913. This prospectus includes samples and descriptions for patent medicine boxes, labels, and labels available for purchase.","This item is a French language board game from the Dutch Van Houten Cocao company, c. 1890. The board is a variation for \"The Game of the Goose,\" a common boardgame from the 16th-19th centuries. The game has many regional variations, but despite being in French, \"Jeu de Cacao Van Houten\" follows the traditional rules (not the French ones).","The general rules are available online: https://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/game-of-goose.htm.

There's no clear indiciation as to why it was named after Garfield (there is no clear connected between the late president and the company), though it may have been an attempt to capitalize on his image somehow. Records suggest there was no \"Dr. Stillman,\" but the company was in the patent medicine business well into the 1910s.

Returning to Virginia after the war, Thompson recommenced private practice and established the Salem Veterinay Hospital. He was instrumental in establishing the Salem Rotary Club in 1949 and served as its president in 1952. He was also active in the Lutheran Church and in the Republican Party. Edward E.

He married Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) in 1905. He was fifth cousin to Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), the 26th President of the United States. Always admiring his cousin, Theodore, and after earning a law degree from Columbia Univeristy, Franklin decided to pursue politics. He was able to win a New York State Senate seat in 1910 as a Democratic. By 1913, he was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1921) to be the Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy.","In 1921, Roosevelt contracted polio at the age of 39. This illness took him out of the public eye for several years as he focused on rehabilitation. Even though he had \"liberal\" views, he was elected as Governor of New York in 1928, which he was re-elected in 1930. Roosevelt became the Democratic presidential nomination and, by 1933, he was elected the 32nd president of the United States. He held this position until his death in 1945, being the only president to be elected for four terms.","His third inauguration speech was in 1941, during the World War II. The United States still believed in isolationism. His speech was largely trying to convince the American people to move past this isloationism and join the global conflict. Eventually after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of that year, the United States joined the war. Roosevelt remained president up until 1945, where he passed away on April 12, 1945 in his cottage in Georgia. He was 63 years old.","Sources\n      \"Franklin D.
