READERS FORUM, June "a

Editor Gazette
Perfit me to express appre-
citation of the public service
gwen to his race, and to the state
by Editor M. T. Whittico, of the
Mcdowell Times, Keystone, who
died Wednesday evening in
Bluefeld hospital.
His most singular virtue, as
| knew and observed him for a
quarter of a century, was the
promotion q other mems
fortunes Race, creed nor station
were considered when anothcr's
cause awakened his humanitarl-
an instincts.
His faith in West Virginia
and the inherent justice Of its
people was religious. He believed
that the Mountain State tradi-
ton of fairness vouchsafed Sc
curity to the humblest within
| its confines. And Mcdowell
county epitomized to him a !
that was liberal, untrammeled
and liberty-loving in American
| citizenship. 1t was he who coined
the sobriquet Free State of Nc
IDowell. "
Mr.. Whittico was a Republican
with conviction and principle in
his political belief. The editor
land publisher of the only Negro
newspaper in the state, he scrv-
ed the cause Of his race with
singular devotion.
! He lived and labored according
to- his lights in his day nd
genration. A merciful God vii
now welcome his tired spirit in.
to a realm of eternal peace.

Forty years of service to the
progress of West Virginia; forty
years of effort in the promotion
of the general welfare of Ne
groes in the state; forty years
of conscintious devotion to the
interests of the Republican party
IN West Virginia and the ma
ton; forty years devoted to the
creation of racial good will
through the columns of the Nc
DoWell Times; forty years spent
in the creation of good will
among men, was the service
rendered by Matthew Thomas
Whittico, Editor of the McDo-
well Times whose death is re-
GREETED by countless numbers of
people Of all races.
Mr.. Whittico gave himself UNI
stintedly to every cause that
promoted public welfare. He was
unselfiSh in his devotion to the
interests of the people and at no
time faltered when called upon
to give his support to any just
cause. He was a man of broad
vision and experience; his judg-
ment was sound; his friendship
was valued and he carried with
him an enthusiasm that made
for him friends among all class
es of people. 1t may be truly
said that Tom Whittico was a
friend of man. He knew no class,
race or creed. His distinguish
ing trait was his power to
impress those with w h m he
came in contact with his genial
personality and good fellowship.
AS Editor of t h G Mcdowell
Times he established a high
standard in the development OF
the religious, social, economic
and political aspirations of his
race. For many years he was
Superintendent of the WhitticC
Memorial Presbyterian Sunday
School. He was a member of the
official family of the church
The church, erected in the honor
Of his late brother, John Valley
Whittico, was close to his heart
Every Sunday he was found il
his place in the Sunday Schoo
and at the church service. Whel

FOX Terrier uuneed Foxes

The wire-hnired fox terrier, az
Its name implies. originally was
used in the hunting OF foxes. In
England it was customary TO use
foxhounds and fox terriers together.
The hounds would chase the fox
until 1t went to earth, and then the
frrler would be sent in To rout Ii
from its hiding place.

not present even little childre
asked the question: Where
iMr. Whittico today?" Childrel
loved him because even as h
advanced in years he did no
| lose interest in the things tina
are dear to the children's hearts
The financial obligations OF
the church were considered by
him as personal and he sought
in every way to keep the church
in the financial condition that
would enable it to render its
largest service.
AS a citizen he was ever s.
wake to the interests of the
city of Keystone. He was sever
al times honored by being elect
ed as member of the City
Council, in which capacity he
served with honor and dignity
and contributed to the general
welfare of the city government.
He advocated good government
in the city and gave his support
to those who sought to make
Keystone one of the best govern
ed small cities in the state. In
fact, he loved the city of Key
stone and never lost an oppor-
tunity to give it publicity. Thru
the columns of the Mcdowell
Times he advocated the building
of highway through the CEN
ter of the city and it was largely
through his efforts that the
State Road Commission built
the broad highway through the
city. The interests of the peo-
pie of Mcdowell county were
uppermost in his thoughts.
Wherever he spoke he called
attention to the county and it's
good citizens The expression
Free State of Mcdowell" was
coined by h i m and people
throughout the state began to
call Mcdowell county the Free
State of Mcdowell" Free be-
cause its citizens enjoy freedom
in its true American sense. Raci-
al good will is evident in all walks
of life in the county.
Tom Whittico never sought
public office during his long
years of political activity in
which he was the first to promote
the candidacy of men who were
elected to office. The only posi-
ton that he would accept in the
county government was Pro-
baton Officer and he accepted
that only because Of his desire
to render a constructive service
in retaining youths who might
go astray. This position was
filled by him wit h honor and
credit and many boys and girls
who came under his supervision
and were helped, think of him
as a friend,a brother, a father.
They loved him because of his
sympathetic interest in their
welfare. At all times in his poll
tical activities he sought to ele-
vate others to Office. His friend
ship was valued by those who
knew him because as friend
he never tired or slept if by so
doing he could aid those who
were his friends.
1t has b cen said that Tom
Whittico had no enemies. No
one could dislike him. They

CHAPTER XIII

Kay Forrest was happy. True,
she felt sense of guilt; furtive-
ness-as though there was some
thing indecent about her happiness.
She told herself-though family
that it wasn't right for her to for
get, even momentarily. the tragic
events of the past few weeks, nor
her apprehension about the part
which Barney might have played
in Kinks death.
But on this particular Tuesday
night it was difficult to be unhappy.
The house in Cathedral Gardens was
as she had always known it: tran
quill and pleasant and millions of
miles removed from the narrow
prejudices of Beverly. Mrs. Hamil-
ton, quiet and blonde and capable
a perfect hostess. gracefully ma
turing woman, an understanding
mother and friend /. and Barney
and Margaret. And Jim Owenby.
And after supper-long after sup
per-when Jim Owenby announced
that he and Margaret we're driving
out to Big Oak Plantation, beyond
Chicora, Barney and Kay decided to
go with them. Mrs. Hamilton begged
off, claiming the wisdom of
understanding motherhood che
had letters to write, and they piled
into Jim's car and headed for Chi
cora; their route carrying them
through Beverly. And because they
we're short of gas, they stopped at
Warmers Sudden Service Garage
where Andy was on night-duty.
