12. Clifton A. Woodrum and J.B. Fishburn - Clifton Alexander Woodrum was born in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1887, and went on to serve the citizens of the area as Commonwealth Attorney for the City of Roanoke(1919-1922), Judge of the Corporation Court for the City of Roanoke, and at age 35 as United States Congressman from the sixth district (1922-1945). Woodrum was an affable and energetic figure, and his popularity was aided by his activity in fraternal and service clubs in the area. He had memberships in the Eagle and Moose Lodges, the Fraternal order of the Elks, and the Roanoke Booster Club. As a Mason he achieved the honorary 33rd degree. This photograph appears to be of a Roanoke Booster Club event with Woodrum flanked by a well- dressed young lady on his right and on his left by J.B. Fishburn (holding a cake) and another similarly dressed unidentified young man. The Boosters would take junkets to towns in the region, often by rail, to stimulate commerce and legend has it that they presented a cake when they reached their destination. This may be such an occasion. See James E. Sargent's "Clifton A. Woodrum, Congressman with a Flair", Journal of the Roanoke Valley Historical Society, Volume Eleven, Number One, at pages 1- 22.

17. Fabric campaign banner - Sixth District Democratic Party banner utilized by Clifton A. Woodrum's re-election campaign in the 1940 federal election. The fabric banner, which is hand painted, has brass grommets at the corners. Woodrum served in the United States Congress from 1923 until 1945. He effectively represented his district, obtaining funding for bridges, the Post Office building (now the Commonwealth of Virginia Building), and the airport now known as Roanoke Regional Airport and formerly known as Woodrum Airport, but the most noteworthy of the accomplishments on behalf of his constituents was the use of his committee influence to have the Veterans Administration Hospital located in the Roanoke Valley. Always an important employer, the hospital had a full time staff of 1,712 employees as of mid 2009. Henry Wallace, who was elected as Franklin D. Roosevelt's vice presidential running mate in 1940 was dropped from the Democratic Party ticket after one term and was replaced by Harry S Truman as the vice presidential candidate in 1944. Harry F. Byrd was re-elected in the 1940 campaign and continued to represent Virginia in the United States Senate until 1965.
