BURNS; FAMILY
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

In the early hours of last Mon
day morning the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kenneth Rowlett at jenkins,
KY, was destroyed by fire with
practically nothing being saved
from the house.
The fire WAS discovered at about
five o'clock in the morning. Mrs.
Rowlett and four children were
trapped in an upstairs room, and
to save them she was forced to
drop the children one by one from
a window into the darkness.
Neighbors who had been aroused
were below and caught them as
they dropped, SO that none Of them
were injured in the fall.
Mrs. Rowlett is daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett Fleming Of
Brush Creek.

Cumberlands to
Be Included In
National F crest

Freezing, Va, Jan. %. Of
much interest locally was the visit
through this section last week by
a national forest ranger, looking
over the area embraced within the
Jefferson National Forest and ac-
quainting the people with the OBJ
jectives of the forest service.
The Ranger made brief talks at
the Bearpen and Osborne Gap
schools, in which he said that the
work of building fire trails and
needed roads through the south
side of Cumberland Mountain
would be commended at an early
date and that local people would
be given as much temporary en-
ployment as possible. Three or
four lookout towers will be erected
at different points between Pound
Gap and the Breaks where watch
men will watch for possible forest
fires during the spring and fall
months.
1t is understood that all regu-
lar permanent positions with the
forest service will be under the
classified civil service, and that
vacancies will be filled by the Sc
lection of eligibles certified by the
Civil Service Commission and by
promotion in rank.
Som e temporary employment
will be available from time to time
for which civil service eligibility
will not be required.
1t is understood that the surface
of Cumberland Mountain is con-
sidered entirely too rough for a
park and that the territory will be
entirely under the supervision of
the forest service. AS the work
gets under way and the force is
sufficient to afford protection, the
entire area will be stocked with
game animals suitable to the Sec
ton.

Honors Divided
In Double Header

Dickinson Memorial High School
and Ervinton High divided honors
in a double header on the local
court last Thursday night. The
strong Ervinton girls team took
the first engagement by the score
of 26 to Is. Although not up to
their usual form in shooting field
goals, due to the tight D. M. H. S.
defense, the Ervinton sextet cap
italized on their charity losses and
made more than enough to account
for the II points difference in the
team scores.
Cable and Sperow were out
standing on the Ervinton offense

ly. Bise was outstanding on de-
tense.
For the Green and White sex
tet, Baker, McFall and Priode
played stellar roles. Sykes and E..
Sutherland made most of Clint

Flashing a brilliant offense and
alright defense the D. M. Fl. S.
boys took an early lead in the
boys game and emerged victorious
with "a to IL score. So effective
was the D. M. H. S. defensive
tactics that Ervinton scored but
two field goals-both in the first
half. These two goals were divid-
ed between Powers and Bowman.
Will Davis, according to local
fans, played the best game of his
career. Equally effective as guard
and forward, Davis repeatedly
kept Ervinton from scoring, due
to close guarding at the basket.

Work Starts On Fremont
Clintwood Road; Convict
Labor to Do The Job

Hail to Cap'n Hardy and his
convict force that will give us a
road from Clintwood to Fremont!
Blessed are the roadmakers, for
they will take away the blind
curves and the steep grades. Dick
enson County got behind that pro-
posed road a few years ago, and
now we are going to have it. One
battle ended, and time to begin
mother. When shall we have the
highway through the Breaks and
out to Honaker and Lebanon?
Dickinson County's dream of a
modern highway between Clint
wood and Fremont is to become a
reality within two years. AS soon
as the weather will allow it, the
convict road camp now located in
Buchanan County will be moved
over here to begin work on the
highway.
At present Captain Hardy is in
the county looking for suitable
location for the camp site for the
convict force. It is understood
that three or more acres will be re-
quired for the purpose. This par
ticular force is one of the largest
in the state. 1t is understood that
three locations are being consid-
cred. One is in a bottom above
the Cranes Nest bridge. Another
is at the mouth of Holly Creek
below the bridge on the trail built
by the CCC a few years ago. A
third site being considered is on
the J. H. Long farm east of Clint
wood.
While the camp sites are being
looked over, engineers are buy
ing right-of-way for the road. 1t
is understood that there will not
be a great amount of right-of-way
to acquire, as the new road will
follow the present location fairly
closely. Curves will be straight
ened out, fills will be made, and
grades eliminated as much as pos
sible. Of course, the road will
be considerably broader than at
present. Among the larger fills
will be one at the place once
known as the "Watering Trough
Hollow" between Clintwood and
Cranes Nest River. Another change
will be made at the so-called
"Hairpin Bend" between Cranes
Nest and Bear Pen Gap.
In 1887 the Board of Supervis-
ors petitioned the State Highway
Commission for an ALLEGATION for
this road Different county organ
izations got behind the movement,
and the county presented a united
front in asking for the modern
izing of this road. Having by
united effort achieved this aim,
the whole county is expected to
agree on another bodybuilding
program and press for its accep-
tance by the State Highway Com
mission.
