CHAPTER TIlRTY-THREE

Long shadows lay across the lax,
when Colin and Sc!liirk stepped
from out the spruce that lined tn,
shore. Their eyes were fixed oi
something high up in the air-fouI

the wings Colin saw the insignia of
the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Eagerly he ran to meet the tall
army officer who descended from
the transport.

At last Colin pointed toward the
northern horizon. "Up there is
where Blair and I landed. We're
about seven miles from the air base
now, and it's not safe to go much
closer. You'd better come in low"
A word from Bowling to the
pilot, and the three planes began
spiraling downward. 1t was almost
dark when they landed in the spec
tral twilight of an arctic night. The
men busted themselves making
ready for the night. No fires wcre
allowed, hut they hcapcd up mounds
of snow and laid their sleeping bags
behind them, while Bowling gath

the Colonel cautioned his men. "You

come over low. Try not to destroy

Dowlinc drew his cilcrdown

for the night.

Two Pranksters
Shot Halloween
Night

Halloween, Tuesday night,
passed off as quietly as could be
hoped for in the county, with
only few mishaps reported.
According to report, Roland
Wallace and Ceburn Mullins of
near Skeetrock, were brought to
DR.. Yorkoff here on Wednesday
morning to have injuries dress
ed that were received during the
celebration. It was said that the
disturbance was rather loud near
the home of w. J. Artrip at
Skeetrock. A bunch of farm ma
chinery, a scarce and valuable
article at this time, was being
moved by the merrymakers and
someone fired a shotgun with
such good aim that two men
were peppered with shot.
In a spirit of clean, boyish fun,
some pork in a pen belonging to
Elder Earl Mullins of Fleming
town, was turned out of hog
lot beside the road and the own
err finally rounded the hogs up
again after day or so.
Most of the boys from the
country round about Clintwood
came to town on that night, Civ
ing the people out there some
rest, but making it loud and live
ly in town.

County Loses
HOnOred
Citizen

Elder William B. Sutherland,
well known minister of the Prim
tive Baptist church and one of
the county's most illustrious cit
liens, died at his home on Fry
ing Pan last Sunday night after
a lingering illness.
Burial was in the family grave
yard on the Sutherland home
stead Tuesday. A large crowd
from all parts of this county and
elsewhere attended the funeral
and burial. Reliious services were
conducted by Elders Ebert S.
Stevens, Hadley Edwards, Cor
man B. Sutherland and A. r.
Singleton.
Elder Sutherland was born
February "a, 1861, and was a son
of William and Sylvia Counts
Sutherland early settlers on Fry
ing Pan. He attended a few rur-
al schools and through his own
efforts secured a fair education
as education was measured in
that period.
He married Miss Eliza Jane
Counts May 27, 1881, and settled
in the immediate neighborhood of
where he was born and reared.
By industry and good manage
ment he prospered as well, or
better, than the average noun
tain farmer.
He was elected a justice of the
peace in his district in 1889 and
served two years. Later he serv-
ed as a member of the board of
supervisors from the Sand Lick
district for two or three terms.
He was elected member of the
Virginia House of Delegates in
1895 for the district then COM
posed of Buchanan, Dickinson
and Wise counties. serving one
term. But his greatest distinction
was as a minister. He joined the
Primitive Baptist church in 1882
and was pastor of the Sand Lick
church for more than forty years.
He travelled over much of South
west Virginia, Eastern Kentucky
and southern West Virginia in his
ministerial capacity and was one
of the best known of the Print
tive Baptist ministers.
Always regarded as uncom-
promisingly honest, a man of rare
common sense and commanding
appearance, he was a striking
figure in any gathering.
His wife died few months
ago. He is survived by the fol-
lowing sons and daughters: E. J.
Sutherland, F. l.. Sutherland,
Mrs Isabel Compton, Miss Phoe-

extension of democracy, labor
unions are an absolute necessity"
Bishop Shiel said that "the union
can strike the most telling blows
against a potent source of unrest
and rebellion in the American ma
tons: discrimination against Ne
groes. By admitting Negroes in
their membership on a basis of
equality, the unions can destroy eco
nomic injustice and beat down bar
riers of ill-will and stupid opposi-
tion." He called anti-Semitism an
American cancer that gnaws at the
very vitals Of American life and if
allowed to continue will "shrivel
Americas heart and retard the
realization of the American ideal"
American democracy will never
come to full flower until discrimi-
nation against Negroes and Jews
and all minority groups is erased
from our national and personal
lives, for of such groups is made the
greatness of America, Bishop Shiel
declared. "Any discrimination tears
into shreds the solidarity of the
human race" the bishop continued,
''and makes mockery of the
Fatherhood of God and the Brother
hood of Christ. We have asked the
Negro and the Jew to fight and die
for democracy; it would be the
basest synicism to refuse to share
with them that democracy"

Committee to Abolish Racial Dis

direction of George l.. P. Weaver.
These local committees are nipping
discrimination in the bud," he said.
President Philip Murray praised
the work of the Presidents Fair En-
ployment Practice Committee in his
annual report to the convention and
recommended it's permanent estab-
lishment with an adequate budget.
Unlike last year when the conven-
tion refused to act on a similar rec
ommendation he made in Philadel-
phia, this year a resolution was
adopted calling not only for a per-
manent FEPC, but requested that
the agency be armed with adequate
power to enforce it's decisions.

"of everything the CIO has been

''It seems to me that labor is the
one group which can and will give

is so, simply because labor is COM
