.2EAT CHANGE
IN ATTITUDE
TOWARD GAME

In the earlier days of our
.ountry there was only one
bought in regard to game,
nd that was for a man to go
1t with a gun and kill all he
could lay low. This led to the
humiliation of herds of Ameri-
IN buffaloes. Elk and moose
disappeared in nearly every
section of the nation. Deer
,scame scarce. Other game be-
came rare. Game birds were
-riven out of most of their
2aunts. In consequence the pro-
section of game became a very
serious problem, calling for in
2lllgent consideration and con-
cructive methods. The govern
'ent and the states took it up
nd passed laws to help pre-
arve and conserve game. OFF,
al bureaus were created in
tates throughout the nation.
Sportsmen, conservation bo-
les and other organizations
nd individuals have been Civ
ng attention to the diversified
ngles of propagation, conserva
ion and restoration of small
md big game, game birds and
ish. AS a result, when the
merican Game Protective As
ociation holds its annual meet
ng in New York early in De-
mber the event will resolve
self into great national
anne conference, with official
I'd unofficial participants.

Review OF Local Events
For The Past Two Weeks

Well, the Holidays passed off
very queietly so far as Clint
wood was concerned. Only a
few minor happenings taking
place to mar the peace and
luietude usually enjoyed by
the majority of the people OF
our mountain town.
Influenza Raging
The influenza is spreading
rapidly throughout our country
and, no doubt, robbed many OF
our good citizens of the JOY
and merriment Of the season.
There have been several serious
cases of this dreaded malady
in our town. but to date no
deaths have occurred from it.
The Wrong Kind of Spirit
We do not think it was the
Christmas spirit that caused
vandal, whose mind was intent
on destroying something, to
shoot the glass from the front
windows of w. N. Meade's
store building. 1t was spirits
all right, but it was the old
familiar kind that almost daily
makes itself manifest in and
around Clintwood.
Cheap Glass
From the amount of glass
we see daily lying on the streets
of this town, glass must be
cheap, especially pop bottles. 1t
is none of our business who
pays for this glass but it is
an evident fact that somebody
pays for the glass. But that
is not all the paying that must
be done, for this broken glass
certainly costs the man who
drives his car on the streets OF
Clintwood. Well, then just how
do you think it looks to see oul
streets all strewn with pieces
| ct broken glass ana Othef fuD
bish? AS a casual observer OF
this fact, one would think that
someone in Chntwood owned s
glass and rubber factory anC
was using his neighbors tt
help get rid of his manufactur
ed product.
Time in Preference to Money
Some fellow who was Draw
enough or cowardly enough t.
enter the drug store on tn
night of December %, surel,
did not care anything abou
cash when there were a few
watches in sight, or at least, i
The Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1927-1930, 1929-01-03

looks this way, when a thief,
on entering the safe of the
Clintwood Drug Company, took
four gold watches instead of
oout $500 In cash that was
said to be in the same safe. He
3urely preferred to know the
time of day whether he had any
money or not. The watches that
were taken were: One Fl jewel
Burlington; one p jewel South
Bend; one ladies size Elgin'
me Is size Waltham.
introduced to the Mayor
Last Sunday night there
came three men whose names
we did not learn, but giving
Dunbar as their home, and
with these visitors came two
women of somewhat question
able character. They had not
been here long before they de-
cided to clean out the restau-
rant on the corner. We do not
know just how we'll they would
have succeeded had Sheriff
Kiser not entered at the ODpor-
tune time and carried one of
the trio up to the mayors office
and relieved him Of $3.50.
While they were being intro
duced to the mayor, their lady
friends left twn accompanied
by three other boys whose
names are being withheld for

new date, new day, new year!
Winter, spring, summer and fall.
Weather botn Stormy and clear,
Sunshine and rain for us all
Days for our labor and days for our play
Skies that are sunny and Skies that are gray
And songs we shall sing
Paintings and meetings laughter and tears
These after all are the sum Of the years
and all they bring.
Now twenty-eight has become twenty-nine,
And that number we change
But be the morning a stormy fine
There is nothing else strange.
Still shall the winter be followed by spring
Still shall the birds of the summertime sing,
Sun through the year
AS with the old it shall be with the new
Men shall be known by the labors they do
And the sad hearts they Cheer.
A new date, new day, new year,
But changeless is time AID its ways.
As it was so twill always be here,
The same sun for all Of the days.
But time is to work with and fashion our deeds
For each one to win the delights which he needs
AID gather his friends.
To neghbor and labor, to take and bestow.
And what sort Of a year it shall be he can't know
Till the last minute ends.
