ClintWOOd Has
Heavy Loss
From Fire

Clintwood suffered one of its
most destructive fires in years on
Wednesday afternoon when the
Theatre Building in the west end
of town burned down.
The fire was reported at about
2 p. M, and practically the whole
town turned out as volunteer fire
fighters. Some difficulty was had
in getting the water hose in work
ing order and by the time the
water could be turned on all that
could be done was to keep the
flames down so that the fire
would not spread to nearby build
ings.
At one time it was thought that
the fire would spread to the
home of Erdman Counts and
probably on to other homes, and
volunteers moved the furniture
from the Counts home and that
of DR.. Yorkoff beside it. Con-
siderable damage was done in
the hasty removal of these furn-
ishings.
The Corner Grill, the Clint,
wood Confectionery, the Noun
tain Theatre and headquarters of
the United Mine Workers were
housed in the burned building,
and practically nothing was saw
ed from any of these places of
business.
The losses were estimated at
$4,000, with only small amount
Of insurance.

Corporation Taxes And
Water Rates Being
Reduced

The careful and conservative
management of the Town Coun-
ell of ClintWood for the past few
years is beginning to pay divi-
dends to the citizens in the form
of reduced taxes and reduced
water rates, according to w. H.
Mccoy, town treasurer.
By an ordinance of the Council
passed at the Last meeting, water
rates for all persons served by
the town water system were fix
ed as follows: the first 1000 gal
Ions $1.10 per month per 1000
gallons; next 1000 gallons per
month per 1000, 60c; all over 10
900 gallons per month at the rate
of SOC per 1000 gallons. This new
rate, according to Mr.. Mccoy, will
effect a substantial saving for
each customer.
It was further stated that at
the next Council meeting corpor-
alton taxes on all personal prop
erty and real estate would be re-
duced $1.OO on each hundred dol
lars.
: The present council, it was
stated, decided when new men,
bers tok office that only the most
essential, or unjust" items would
bought and that all funds possible
would be used toward retiring
corporation debts. AS result of
this rigid economy the town is
now out of debt, and taxes and
water rates can be reduced in
stead of being increased.
The only unsettled item was
said to be the street bond fund,
but the town has $4,000 on de-
post in the local bank for the
settlement of this. Expenses of
right-of-way and moving build
ings, assumed by the town in or
der to have the state highway ex
tended from the gap on into the
town, have been paid off, as well
as the cost of the water system.
At this time the general fund
of the corporation has a surplus
of $199959, while the water de-
partment has surplus of $1163,-

Supervisors
Gather For
March Meeting

q
The Board of Supervisors met
here Monday for the regular
March session, with all members
present.
The question of reestablish-
ment of the county. health depart
ment was taken up with the board
by "a number Of interested citi-
zens. A resolution favoring the
return of the health department
was passed by the board. The
question has since been taken up
with the state, and the reply in
dictated a willingness to do so,
but that this could not be done
at present, and perhaps not until
the end of the war because of
lack of personnel for the local
office.
Sidney Smith of Nora, by ord
er of the board, was appointed
county surveyor.
Of paramount interest in the
meeting of the Board was the
appearance Of B. A. Warriner, of
the Blacksburg agricultural ex-
tension agency, asking the coun-
ty to appropriate $1,000 to aid
in carrying on the farm program
in the, county this year.
He stressed the Importance of
food production at this time and
appealed for the cooperation of
all farmers and citizens in carry
ing on the work. He said that the
county had not given anything
from the public fund for this pur
pose for some time and that the
cause in the county had been aid
ed by contributions from corpor-
ations and citizens, but that this
was not as it should be, that all
alike should assist in bearing the
small burden.
He said that any man the
county wished for farm agent
would be satisfactory to him, pro
vided the man possessed the nee
cessary qualifications.
1t had been understood for
some time that this move would
involve the hiring Of a county az
ent and a large crowd was on
hand for the hearing.
At the conclusion of Mr.. War
rener's talk, G.. Mark French,
Pat Bise, Ed Coyle and a Mrs.
Adams made brief speeches ia
voring the retention of F. F.
Fletcher, the present county ag-
emit The speakers intimated that
the move against Fletcher was
largely political and declared
that politics should have no place

Five Jap AdnliraIs
Possible Victims Of

The possibility that 4 Navy plane
may have sent i've Japanese ad-
mirab to their death was raised
unomeialiy here today after the
Navy Department announced that
q Liberator plane had intercepted
and shot down = Japanese transport
plane In the Volcano Isles Monday.
The Navy announcement came
shortly after the Tokyo radio
broadcast 1 report that six Nip
poneSe admirals were lost recently
~ I result Of enemy action.
In another broadcast reported by
the Federal Communications Com
mission today. however, the Tokyo
radio revised It's report, saying that
one Of the admirals had died from
illness contracted at the 'front.'"
There was no indication where
the admirals were lost, but there
was unoflcial speculation that those
killed by enemy action" may have
been aboard the transport.
The identity Of the six Japanese
admirals whose death Was an
nounced yesterday by the Japanese

Defeat Of laps Soon;

China win cooperate fully With
its Allies in establishing peace Is
well as waging war. DR.. H. II. Kung,
Vice Premier and Minister Of
Finance. told the National Press
Club today In a speech In which he
also predicted the speedy defeat OF
Japan.
DR.. Kung. who was educated at
Oberlin and Yale and has spent
much time in America, also described
in some detail the broad plans OF his
country for industrialization after
the war ends. In this respect, he told
his audience, America is being used
as pattern.
The Minister'S pledge Of co-opera-
ton in world peace plans was made
on the eve Of China's entry into the
postwar security talks at Dumbarton
Oaks. The Chinese phase of the
conference is expected to begin late
next week. A delegation headed by
DR.. Wellington Koo. Ambassador to
London, is here to represent China.
Denies Lease Lend Charge.
DR.. Kung, at the outset, said that
he would like to correct some mis-
apprehensions' about China on the
part of some American newspapers,
which he described as harmful to
the joint war effort of the two
countries and their postwar CO.
operation. He strenuously denied
that China had ever converted one
ounce Of lease-lend supplies to pur-
poses other than those for which
they were intended"

We learned that armed men sought
him there during his absence. Au-
phan lighted another cigarette from
the stub held in his shaking fin-
gers, said good night and went up-

! It's hard to say what will happen
to these men. The probability Is
that both Auphan and Maurras will
be arrested within few days, and
that Auphan may be executed.
Maurras, 1t is believed, probably will
be treated more 1eniently because
OF his age. 1t is said he may be
confined under permanent house ar
rest.
. Back in 1884 he was arrested as
a result of articles linking the gov
ernment with the Stavisky scandal.
In 1926, Maurras was sentenced
to two years Imprisonment for an
open letter accusing Minister of In

Germany declared war against
France in 1914 and the entire nation
responded wholeheartedly to that
threat. this time France declared
war on Germany and nobody knew
why.
1914 Happenings Repeat.
Whats happening all over the
country today" he said, "is what
happened in 1914 and what didn't
happen in l939-a revolt against
the invader"
Maurras is, OF the opinion that the
Allies should not have opened the
second front in France, but should
instead have attacked Germany
direct, in which event, he says, the
Germans would have been forced to
withdraw from France, thus sparing
France the pain of becoming bat
tlefield.-
He waved his hand in the direc-
ton of the Rhone River. Look at
those beautiful bridges out there" :"
he said, "all blown up. 1t could
have been avoided"
We asked the old man, who all his
life has been fighting as an exponent
of the monarchy, whether he still
thought there was any possibility of
1t being re-established in France.
This was the question he had been
waiting for.
Calls Monarchy Necessary.
The art of politics." he said,
consists In making possible things
which are indispensable. The mon-
archy Is indispensable for France.
The French are very good at gov
erning themselves on the lower lev
eE-the towns, cities and depart
ments. But when 1t comes to big,
broad questions, matters of state,
they are too politically idealistic to
get along.
France cannot live either as q
democracy or a republic. Democ-
racy here is only a form of blood
less civil war. Republicanism Is
simply form of one-party tyranny.
We have no two-party tradition
1t is either one or too many.
Many people think that the
French monarchy was despotic.
That is not true. 1t occupied about
the same position incur politics as
your Federal Government occupied
in the early history of the United
States, when Washington was con-
cerned only with broad matters OF
state and the other powers were re-
served to the various communities.
The monarchy must come back,
because France needs it. without
1t we may stagger for a few years,
living as beggar among nations,
but We are lost"
