LIVE RATHER KILLED
BY HUNTERS DEC. 8

A report from Freezing says
that on Sunday, Dec.e 8, Alvin
Baker and son, Lucky, found and
killed a live rattler in a cave
somewhere on the south of Cum
berland Mountain. The snake was
described as very much alive and
ready to bite when approached.
Baker is an old timer, in fact,
we might say the last of his race
in that section, and makes his
living in part by hunting and
trapping. He has for number OF
year daily fortified himself with
snake-bite remedy just in case he
should meet a reptile and be Bit
ten while hunting in the wilds of
the mountain, the remedy beina
made of mountain water, forked
nightning and a dash of dynamite
thrown in. On the day the rattle
snake was killed, Baker was well
prepared for any eventually
when he and his son went into
the cave to investigate the bark
ing of their dog. The snake was
found and dispatched in short or
der. and when measured was ~
inches in length and had eight
rattles and button. Baker
brought the snake out to the set
Elements to substantiate his re-
port.

SPLIT
DOUBLE HEADER WITH
COEBURN TUESDAY

Dickinson Memorial High split
a double-header with Coeburn at
Coeburn on Tuesday night. In
the opening game the Clintwood
girls were nosed out in the final
quarter and lost by the count of
"a to 18. The local girls led thru
out most of the contest, but the
large Coeburn team with its SUI
perior heibht kept the ball high
IN the air and tailed enough
points to emerge winners in a
spirited contest.
Launa Fleming for Clintwood
was outstanding on the offensive
with a total of II points.
The D.M.H.S. boys, with Victor
McFall leading the way, took
close one from the big Coeburn
quintet in the last game of the
7ouble-header by the count of %
to &c. Greatly outclassed in size,
the Clintwood boys made up for
it with scrappy. fast OffenSe
and cagy defense.
For the locals, Victor McFalI
led the scoring with IL points,
and Steele amassed a total of Z
points. Junior McFall played ali
excellent defensive game with
Jerry Friend and A. K. Lambert
aiding in the cause.

STANLEY
BADLY INJURED BY
FALL FROM BRIDGE

Moscow Stanley of near Darwin
was critically injured and valu-'

ed when the mule fell from al,
old logging bridge on Cranesnest

Stanley was en- route to a log

mule lost its footing and fell 10
to Is feet, landing on it's head

short time. Stanley became en-
tangled with the mule in the fall
and was severely bruised and
lacerated.

Barrett Home
Damaged by Fire

Volunteer Fire Fighters Save
Home; Property Damage Is
Heavy.
About noon Sunday, the first
fire alarm to sound in Clintwood
for many months brought friends
and fire-fighters to the home of
John Barrett near the Chevrolet
garage. After several minutes of
frantic fighting, the volunteer
firemen with the aid of the town
hose, put out the flames.
The origin of the fire is as yet
undetermined, but it is thought
that the fire originated from de-
fective wiring. The flames wer.
first noticed in an upper room,
and according to the family, no
one had been in the room during
the morning and no fire had been
built there.
Part of the furniture and fur
nishings were carried out before
the flames and smoke drove oc-
cupants to the outside. The fur
niture which was left in the res
idence was damaged considerably
by water and can be counted as
total loss. Also much clothing
was destroyedy the flames. In
surance covered practically all
losses.
The volunteer fire fighters are
to be commended for their early
arrival on the scene and thei,
quick action in getting water OF,
the flames. John Short, veteran
of many a fire fight from the days
of his youth, was on the scene at
once and directed the fighters be
sides doing his bit. John has
never missed a fire within the
corporation limits since he has
been big enough to run.

Out of School Boys Beta1een Il
and rs To Be Given Training
AS Part of Defense Program

AS Part of Defense Program
At the last meeting of the
school board the following cltl-
zens were appointed members of
an advisory board to help devel-
op training classes designed to
develop skills essential to the
national defense program: Virgil
F. Skeen, chairman; John Ram
sey, Fremont; John H. Turner,
Haysi; Clyde E. Reedy, Clinchco,
John D. Barrett, Clintwood, Car
ter Phillips, Dante; Howard Clark

Sutherland, Clintwood.
Under present plans beng de-
veloped by the naticnal defense,
board, all boys out of school il,
Dickinson county betwee.c tn
ages of II and Is can enroll il
the various classes winch are TO
be offered in the very near future.
Although the boys will receive n.
pay for such work performed in
classes they will receive instruc-
ton from persons skilled in each
particular line. The courses Of
fered will fit them for a vocation
and be of considerable help to the
national government in meeting
the war emergency. Lack Of skill
ed labor in Southwest Virginia
was very noticeable when out OF
eleven thousand men applying for
work at Radford on the Hercules
Powder Plant only two thousand
were found sufficiently skilled for
the work to receive work.
Glasses will be held over an
8-week period. During each week
a minimum of fifteen hours in
struction will be given. A mini
mum enrolment of ten is requir-
ed before a class can be estab-
lished. Each community desiring
such a training class must furn-
ish suitable quarters for work.
The national defense program
will supply machinery, tools and
Instructor. Whenever possible, ac-
cording to officials. local instruc-
tors are preferred.
Here at Clintwood plans are be
ing made to teach metal work,
arc welding, etc., with John Bar
ret as instructor. General courses
in woodworking. elementary cleo

established at various places thru
out the county.

Tenant Purchase
Program Evicts
Resident Tenants

Is the tenancy program creating
tenants? What happens to the farm
families on land bought under the
tenant purchase program?
Though the purpose Of the plan has
been to restore tenants to the status
of owner-opePators, survey of one
region shows that in some cases the
land is bought from owner-operators
who thereupon become tenants and in
other cases the land is bought out
from under tenant farmers who must
then move onto worse lands.
Out of 486 tenant purchase loans
made by the Farm Security Admins
tration in one of its regions, it is re-
ported that Sc of the farms were
bought from owner-operators. The
FSA states that some of these owners
were being foreclosed" and "some of
these sellers no doubt became tenant
farmers"
Another 231 farms were being
worked by tenant families Some of
these" the FSA comments, "no doubt
would have to move to poorer farms
for reasons heretofore given" Each
move, the FSA finds, reduces the ten
ants net worth and lessons his
chances of renting a desirable farm.
In 169 cases, the land then being
operated by the tenant farmer was
