A fight between a killer whale and a big humpback whale 'n movies. That was the prize camera catch" made this week near Ral- ston Island by V. E. Rowley, Sup erintendent in charge of the Civil Aeronautics Authority beam sta tion project at Ralston Island.

OPEN SEASON ON
COONS is CHANGED
Season Opened October 20, Will
Close on December 81

At meeting of the state game
cimmission at Harrisonburg last
Friday, the beginning of the open
season on raccoons in Dickinson
county was changed from Nov.
Is to Oct. 20, and to continue un
til the close Of the general hunt
ing season, December 81.
This action was taken under an
emergency clause, providing that
the commission may in case of an
emergency lengthen or shorten
the hunting season on any game
animals or birds. The emergency
in this case was because of re-
peated insistence Of Dickinson
county coon hunters that the sea-
son open sooner than Nov. Is, be
cause, the hunters insisted, by
Nov. Is the nights are generally
too cold for night hunting.
The commission meeting was
not called TO consider this par.
ticular request, but for the pur-
pose of making cooperative ar
engagements with national forest
officials.

During the past weeks a very
subtle vein of criticism has been
directed at our Board of Super
visors through the press and by
public differences on the streets
of Clintwood. The first blast OF
criticism had to do with bringing
the board to task for donating to
the Southwestern Virginia Re-
gional Chamber Of Commerce.
This is an organization interested
in the development of industry,
ETC., in this area of the state.
Pervious boards had made the
annual contribution, but for some
reason, the present board was
criticised
Following the first criticism,
news came that the board had
raised its own salary, with no ac-
companying explanation. The SAL
airy of each board member was
raised $500 per meeting due to
the fact that the population OF
Dickinson County had increased
beyond the 10000 mark, and by
special act of the legislature, in
counties of more than 10000
population, board members are
allowed an annual compensation
of $500. The order was entered
by Judge Alfred A. Skeen, who,
according to law, has the right to
fix the compensation of board
members. Of course the board
had no objections, and neither
would those persons who have
criticised the board have any OBJ
jections to an increase in pay it
opportunity arose.
The chairman Of the board,
C,x+o,. DI,;11;pc - o,1b1io cYoi1.itcd
citizen. offered to use his merch-
ants license to buy roofing fo1
the Jail at cost in order that the
county could save money. But
Mr.. Phillips was criticised and
accused Of violating the law
It is not the intention of the

Board of Supervisors is above crit
icism, but The Herald does be-
lieve that all persons should firss
inform themselves of the true
facts before hurting away orally
and spreading by written woro
false impressions on these small
acts of the board of supervisors.

ors is a good board and a conser-
vative board-a board represent
