With the moving of the Museum
Of the Washington County Histori

City Hall, historical articles hav-

of Spangler's Pet Store. Also in
possession of the society is an old
satchell or carryall, which was
used by the late Frederick A. Bak-

California, back home. The society
also expects to get the jacket
which Mr.. Baker wore, stuffed full
of gold, to the extent that he could
not lie down to sleep in it. It
seems that in those early days il
was absolutely necessary to watcn
everything very closely, especially
in those western lands populated
by every type person imaginable,

But confdentially, there just ain't noth- ing doing, at least that's fit to print. If there is, 1t must be a deep dark secret. However, I may be able to scrape up few items here and there.
 First of all, and very much late, we welcome Mrs. Thomas Coates (Agnes to her friends). to our midst; Agnes has been with us for several months now, and by this time she should know she is well come, but in case she doesn't, I'll try to express the thoughts of all, and that is that we are all glad to have her with uS-I don't dare say too much, cause I might be sticking my neck out; the last col umn I had in The Sub, welcomed Mary, our night clerk, as our first female employee, and inside of a week about dozen more girls ap- peared in the shop.

A year ago Barrie and his Gin

as the Journeys most valuable
player.
This week the Mountaineers
return with Barrie, still a student
at West Virginia, but not a play
or as the teams coach-and as
Mr.. Barrie to the public and the
athletes. He took o er when the
previous mentor, Dick Raese,
joined the Navy.
Although the Mountaineer
squad has back only one of the
eight regulars Of last season, the
1943 Mountaineers have won
four of their first five games and
Wednesday encounter the un-
beaten New York University
outfit.
That game sparks this week s

Each of the championship
