GEORGES FORK SAILOR
JARRED BY JAP BOMBS

PEARL HARBOR.-David C.
Kennedy, bosuns mate first class,
USN, of Georges Fork, Va, prov
ed to be one of the indestructibles
aboard and indestructible cargo
ship of the Pacific Fleet, records
of the Navy reveal.
His vessel, the USS Formalhaut
attached to the huge service
force, did what has been describ
ed sa superlative job in supply
ing bombardment and anti-air-
craft ammunition to ships engag-
ed in supporting invasion troops
at Guadalcanal, Bougainville,
Saipan and Okinawa.
His ship came closest to death
one night when a Jap bomber
pilot dropped three eggs so close
they sprayed water over h e
bridge. There were a few other
close calls, including a hide-and-
seek skirmish with a Jap task
force during the first battle of
the Savo Islands in the Solomons.

HOME OF THE LATE HAWK
FULLER DESTROYED
BY FIRE

The former home of the late
Hawk Fuller, one Of the best
known citizens of the eastern side
of Dickinson county, and occu-
pied of late years by Clyde Comp
ton, was burned to the ground
last Saturday, together with all
the household goods of the Comp
ton family.
Mr.. Compton was away at the
time, and Mrs. Compton was at
tending to some farm chores
about the place when the fire
started. She was barely able to
save one or two small children
from being burned to death in
the building, and by the time she
had rescued the children the fire
had gained such Roadway that she
dared not go inside to try to save
anything.

Permit Asked For
Branch Line
By C.C.&O.

10y N~N~NO~
The following news item, Of
interest to all Dickinson coun-
ty people, under Washington
date line, appeared in leading
Virginia daily newspapers last
week:
The Carolina, Clinchfield and
Ohio Railway, the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad and the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad are asking
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for authority to build
1912 mile branch line in Dicken-
son and Wise counties.
The line would extend from
the mouth of Lick Fork to min
ing plant to be constructed near
the head of Meade Fork.
ut would serve not only the
proposed opening of coal mines
in the vicinity of Meade Fork
now sought to be reached by the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, but
other properties of the Clinch-
field Coal Corporation an d
large holdings of others, ultimat-
ely to be developed" the appli-
cation said.
The line would link with an
other proposed branch extending
from a point near Fremont, Va,
on the Clinchfield's main line
northwest up the waters of
Cranes Nest River and Lick
Fork. An application to build this
line is pending before the Com
mission.
Today's application said furth-
err that "for many years the
Clinchfield has been largely de-
pendent for traffic on coal mines
in the territory served by it. A
number of mines producing coal
in that region tributary to h
Clinchfield have already become
exhausted and others are ap-
preaching exhaustion or do pc
ton due to the heavy demand
caused by the present emergency.
1t is essential that applicants
take steps to secure a continu-
ance of the traffic on which the
continued successful operation of
the railroad depends"

The magnitude Of this movement may be

TIE RECENT REPORT bv

TIE RECENT REPORT by the Soil Con-
SelvatlOn Service pointing out that 80 per
cent of the nations 1.O34 POO 900 acres Of
farmland needs soil conservation treatment
is matter Of concern to both rural and ul-
ban groups The report is the result Of a
three-year survey of the CountrN'S farmland
resources. No nation has ever attempted
such thorough Recommendation before.
Definite recommendations are made ON
the basis Of the findings. OF the III, 7,36l 900
acres now under cultivation the SCS recon-
mendS that 43OOO,OOO acres be put into
grassland or forestry, because the land is too
erOded, steep, wet or stony for efficient pro-
ductiOn of food or fberS. 1t is interesting TO
note that of the more than 4OO. 900 900 acres
now used for crops only 7S,OOO,0OO acres are
classified as Glass One land-and that is
reasonably level, not subject to serious erO-
sion, easily worked and requiring no special
treatment other than yeal-to-ye;r mainte-
nance Of fertility. The SCS finds that 12l,
100000 acres need contouling, 9O,OOOOOO
require telracng, $4,000 900 need strip crop
ping and l2,OOO,OOO need rotation of crops
Public officials concerned with unemplOy-
ment problems would do we'll to consider the
field of soil conservation as an area of work
in which the nation will benefit from eXpendi
ture of tax money. The Service estimates
that needed work will require 3, 1872 man
years Of labor, 327 Al years Of motor equip
ment, 1,OS9,97S years Of horse equi pment
2,344, Jog tons of seed. The welfare of the
nation depends upon an adequate supply O
foods and tibers. Since the days when the
Pilgrim Fathers first put Il Goldfish beneath
each hill Of corn it is estimated that the aver
age depth of top soil has decreased from min,
or ten inches to somewhere near six inches
The SCS report ought to spur all concerned
to further efforts in this vital matter.
