H|NER FAVORED
FOR COMMISSION
Wheeling Man Not to Serve on
State Road Commission
If Possible.

CHARLESTON, W Va, June
To avoid the necessity of engaS-
ing a fourth city manager within a
year, the council of the city of
Wheeling has increased Charles
H. Dowlers salary from $4,000 TO
$4,000 a year, and Mr.. DoWler
will not accept the appointment
as members of the State Road
Commission to succeed N. p. Whit
aker.
According to the Wheeling
newspapers. Mr.. Dowler was heap
ed with requests of, Wheeling
people and organizations that he
retain his office. His decision to
remain in Wheeling hinges upon
acquiescence on the part of Cover
nor Morgan, Mr.. Dowler having
previously told the chief executive
he would accept the appointment.
Any question as to Mr.. Dow
ler's general popularity has been
dispelled during the past few
weeks by. the many requests on
the part of local folks that he re-
main in office here" said the
Wheeling Register in commenting
on the matter. at is thought
likely that Governor Morgan will
accede to Mr.. Dowler's non-accep-
lance of the road commission posi-
ton here and that the city mana
ger will retain his position in
Wheeling"
The governor was put OUT
considerably by Mr.. Dow!er' 5
change of mind. The chief eXecu-
tive heretofore has made it his
custom to withhold publicity on
any resignation to avoid the flood
of applications of ofice-seekers
but in this case the cat was let
out of the bag" before the APP
pointment had been officially ten
dered. The publicity given to the
proceedings has placed Governor
Morgan in a position of having to
turn down number of applica-
tons for the post.
1t is said by persons close to
administration circles that C. E.
Hiner of Buckhannon a contrac-
tor, will be Whitaker's successor.

Be Employed.

KINGWOOD, June 9.-More than
twenty men and women represent
ing local health committees whtcd
have been formed in the various
districts of Preston County appeal
ed before the County Court on
Wednesday to request a tax leFY
to finance a county health unit TO
consist of a full time health Off
Ger and two public health nurses.
Interest in this movement was sim
uIated by health demonstration
conducted in February and Marcn
under the auspices Of the West VIZ
ginia tuberculosis Association by
Miss Francina Mcmahon, field sec
retary Of the association, who is
now working in Marion Counes
During this campaign Miss Nc

ance Of physicians and dentists In
the county and several from Nor

A medical examination of the
school children in Kingwood, Terra
Alta, Tunnelton, Newburg, Mason
town, Albright, Reedsville. Bruce
ton Mills and Rowlesburg disclosed
the need of permanent health
program for the county. The COM
mounities became so much interest
ed in the good results being pro.
duced by the demonstration that
when the Christmas Seal fund was
exhausted, basketball teams were
organized among the business men
of Kingwood and Tunnelton and
games were played to raise add;-
tional funds so that the examine
lions might be completed.
A county health association was
organized with David E. Watson of
Tunnelton as chairman and Mrs.
A. A. Pickering of Rowlesburg as
secretary and treasurer. Local
chairmen have been appointed Tor
each district. The members OF
these committees who appeared be-
fore the County Court were enthu'
siastic in their testimony of tho
tor Ziegler, representing the State
Health Department, was present
and explained to the court the plan
of the county health unit and stat
ed that the state would help finance
the project for the first year to the
extent of $4,000, provided the coun-
ty would raise $1,000 by a tax levy
to initiate the program. Addresses
explaining the value of the plaa
were made by DR.. E. E. Clovis, SUI
perintendent of the State Tubercn
losis Sanitorium, by George G.
Rowell, executive secretary OF tae]
West Virginia tuberculosis Asso-
citation, by David E. Watson, chair
man Of the Preston County commits
tee on tax revision, and by Mrs.
A. G. Hughes of Kingwood and Mrs.
J. C. Harrington of Newburg.
Another result of the recent
health demonstration is local or
dinance to protect the milk supply
