I armers Celebrate
18th Anniversary
Extension Work

Wednesday, May II, at 2:3O
p. m. the farmers of Dickinson
County met in the grand stand on
the Clintwood baseball ground to
celebrate the 18th Anniversary
of Extension Work in the United
States. There were present ap-
proximately three hundred people,
including farmers, their wives,
and visitors. It was the first
meeting of it's kind in Dickinson
County to be held in grand
stand, and it proved notably sue
cessful.
The afternoon program was
opened with the devotional by
Rev. P. E. Cullum Following were
speeches made by: j. H. T.
Sutherland on Agricultural work
done in Dickinson County; Wal
ter Deel on the Smith-Lever Act;
and H. M. Sutherland on Con-
servation of Soil and Came
Music was furnished by the Tivis
and Clintwod string bands. After
the speeches, lemonade and cake
were served. The celebration was
finally rounded out with a soft
ball game sponsored by the XII
wants Club and the American
Legion.
Following up the afternoon pro-
gram, farmers and others were
invited to attend a free movie
entitled, Land USE to be shown
in the D.MH.S. auditorium at
1880 p. m. The movie was spon-
sored by Mr.. Hobart of the State
Forestry Service, Bristol, Va, and
proved highly instructive in the
conservation of timber, soil and
game.

fruit. Summer breezes come,

away into the night Saturday

heat, music, and passions ris-

out in the highway with their
hair down in their eyes-tongue
lashings -scratching-bitter hate
scalding their souls like acid drip

Miners return to work. Ban of
starvation lifted. Teachers elect

us a sweet adieu. and adieu to
tear gas, guns, shotguns and
machine guns.
These patrolmen, folks, surely
are romantic lot of boys At
Haysi, I, myself, saw them in
Napoleonic poses, having their
pictures taken by admiring fair
ones. At Clinchco, one had his
picture snapped standing be-
tween two miners with his hands
upon their shoulders sort of
adventure photo for the scrap
book Of the gal back home, we
guess. And other incidents I have
heard, show beyond a doubt that
these romantic fellows had posi-
tive interests in our mems women
folk. Still, I can give no credence
to the tale about two patrolmen
making a standing offer of two
dollars to any girl who would
attend a movie with them. With
their gaudy uniforms one cannot
imagine these gentlemen being
love-starved.
