Victims Widow,
Hero's Family
Aided By r c

Pineville, Ky.-Two Negro fami-
lies whose men were trapped in
the mine explosion at Pineville,
Dec. 26, were among 81 mining
families visited and given aid by
the American Red Cross during
and after the emergency.
Hugh Westerfield, 53-year- old
miner of Flat Lick, KY, was one
of 20 victims whose bodies were
never recovered from the Straight
Creek Coal Mine at Four Mile, near
Pineville. He is survived by his
wife and six children, as well as
several grandchildren.
Bud TONNES. 54-year-old sur
vivor of the mine tragedy, was the
hero of the only rescue made in the
disaster A veteran miner, Townes
taught his eight companions how
how to seal in their precious supply
of air and lie motionless to con-
serve it. Gle also survived the 1929
mine tragedy at Kettle Island that
killed six other rniners9 These nine
men were resuced from a side shaft
in the mine after two days en-
trapmnt, although two of them died
after the rescue. A total of "a men
lost their lives in the Pineville dis
astr.
When the Red Cross representa-
tive the Westerfield family, the
miners widow sat unmoving and
bewildered by the fireplace of the
neat, cheerfully-decorated home.
Her children and grandchildren
were quiet about the house. Several
of her children are grown, and her
20year-old son in service hoped to
hepl his family with his army pay
and allotments. The Red Cross OBJ
tanned data on Social Security in
order to facilitate action in matter,
and arranged for the family to con-
tact the Red Cross chapter for any
needs or problems that might de-
velop.
A similar visit was made to the
TONNES family, since the effects of
the hero's two days in the mine
would keep him in the hospital
and unemployed for some time.
While rescue crews and volunteer
fire-fighters fought their way
through recurring fires and gaseous
fumes for four days, American Red
Cross workers from the Bell Coun-
ty Chapter brought food to the mine
until resuce work had to be aban-
doned. The workers and families
who stood watch were served food

Selective Service
Gives New Rules
For Students

States headquarters of selective
Service announced that many in
quiries were being received in re-
gard to students at this time, be-
cause of the end of the first semes-
ter. In order to clarity the rules,
regulations and law of Selective
Service in regard to students, Col
onel Long the director, issued the
following statement:
High school students may have
their physical examination postpon-
ed or their induction postponed at
their own request if they are 10
or 10 years of age and are ordered
for induction while attending high
school. He further stated that stu
dents in this category may have
their physical examination or induc-
ton postponed until they graduate
from high school or until they be-
come 20 years of age or until they
cease to pursue continuously and
satisfactorily such course of instruc-
ton provided they were in school
at the time they became Is years
of age.
College students who entered up
on a cours of instruction at a
college before they became IS years
of age and who are ordered for
physical examination or for induc-
ton during a quarter of semester
shall, upon their request, have their
induction postponed until the end
of such quarter or semester.
Colonel Long further stated that
it was quite clear that Selective
Service was anxious to leave all
students under 20 years of age in
high school until they finished high
school or became 20 years of age,
but college students could remain
only until the end of the semester
in which they were ordered for
induction.
Certain professional students are
eligible for deferments when GER
titled by the deans of the schools
as pursuing a fulltime course salts
factorily. These students are those
of medicine, dentistry, and veterin-
airy medicine or osteopathy No pre-
medical students can be deferred.
Colonel Long AIDED that certain
teachers, students and workers in
the physical sciences between the
ages of 18 and Is who are certified
by the Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion as necessary in
certain technical and scientific fields
would be eligible for deferment.

Clinic Held For
College Fund

New York-A Embarrassing eli
mic" was held here Monday and
Tuesday among the presidents of
the 80 educational institutions which
comprise the United Negro College
Fund, Willard j. Trent, Jr., execu-
tive director, announced this week.
In the course of the two days
meeting, both the Executive Com
mittee and the Board of Directors
of the Fund met. The sessions were
held at the Hotel Commodore.
The presidence reviewed the ex-
perinc growing out of the 1915 cam
paign in which $1,60OOO was raised,
and shared the views of John D.
Rockefeller. Jr., Thomas A. Nor
gan of the Spery Corporation, Win
throp Aldrich, banker, and Walter
Hoving, formerly president of Lord
and Taylor, national officers for
that drive.
The educators also heard propos-
ais fo impoving thei methods of
campaigning in the major cities
which generally carry the brunt of
the united appeal as a preliminary
to the 1916 drive which opens in
April. Experts in the fields of or
ganization, publicity and leader
ship from the John Price Jones
Corporation paced the technical dis
cussions
In two campaigns conducted since
the Fund was organized in 1914,

ings, raising of salaries, student aid,
and improvement of library facili-
ties.

Chief Holden
Warns Against
Air Rifles, .22's

Proper use of air rifles and 90
calibre rifles was the subject of
an appeal yesterday by Police
Chief Joel D. Holden to the parents
of Jackson boys after what the
chief described as FLOOD" of COM
plants from the outlying areas of
the city concerning the shooting out
of street lights.
"Air rifles and 90 rifles are COM
monty regarded as harmless" Hold
en- explained. They are not; they
can be deadly if they are misused,
and they can be enormously de-
structive of property.
1T is up to the mothers and ia
theirs Of Jackson's boys to see that
these weapons are used in the
proper manner, and not in indis-
criminate destruction of property
Every time one of these street
lights is shot out, it costs the tax
payers a considerable sum to re-
place it, in the cost of the bulb and
the wages of the workmen involv-
ed All this goes to provide target
for a pleasure-seeking boy.
Added to this is the fact that,
without the street light, the street
is made much more dangerous for
motorists and pedestrians.
There is an ordinance which
provides a rather severe penalty
for shooting inside the city limits.
The police force will be vigilant
in enforcing this ordinance; it is
up to the parents to do their part"

tiny frame hut converted to can
teen use by the Salvation Army.
Payday at the mine, scheduled
for Monday, December 81, was de-
layed by the disaster, and many
families had immediate need for
food orders in their homes. Orders
on groceries were assumed and paid
for in these instances by the Red
Cross.
While resuce work was still in
progress, Friday, December %, a
Red Cross survey of emergency
needs and future relief was begun
by Mrs. Sallie Brown, executive
secretary of the Bell County Chap
ter, and Miss Naomi Calvert, gen.
eral field representative of the
American Red Cross. Miss Mae
Chesney, Disaster Service represen-
tative from Eastern Area headquar-
tiers of the Red Cross, helped COM
plete the survey by family inter-
views.
The Red Cross survey revealed
that So children were orphaned by
the disaster, and about 70 of these
are dependents. For these families,
the Red Cross Bell County Chapter
assumed all responsibility in dis
aster-caused needs. Problems of the
widows and orphans will be part
of the disaster program for some
months to come, whereas those
surviving the explosions will be
able to return their families to
normal more quickly with guild
ance from Red Cross representa-
tives.

LEGISLATURE RECOMMENDS
GOV. BAILEY'S MESSAGE TO
NEGRO YOUTH FACILITIES
Alcorn College and Oakley Training
School Considered In Message

In a message that showed deep
concern and consideration for all
of his constituency in every walk
of life, a message that revealed his
gratitude to Devine Providence for
the blessednetss of world restored
to peace, the return of service men
from all theatres of war; message
that asked for Gods guidance in
the administering of the duties and
responsibilities that are his and the
Legislature, Governor Thomas l..
Bailey, gave his delayed message
to the 1916 Mississippi Legislature
on Tuesday, January Is.
Stateing that, lit seemed that God
has given us Victory in order that
we may have another chance to
make his way work in the relative
ships of men, and to us is given
another chance to make the spirit
of Democracy work in the commun-
ity, the state, the nation and the
world" Governor Bailey began his
recommendation
On Agriculture, he stated: 1T
seems wise that consideration be
given in greater emphasis of these
vital factors in the development of
the state at Alcorn College AS a
matter of fact, l deeply feel that
there should be closer cooperation
of work in these fields between
State College and Alcorn College
Alcorn College is woefully short
an facilities for teaching dairy pro-
duction, dairy breeding, poultry pro-
duction and animal husbandry gen
orally 1t seems that State College
with an enlarged program could
lend to Alcorn College cattle for the
herds and poultry forthe flocks
and extend engineering facilities
for the betterment of such pro-
gram at Alcorn College"
On More Junior Colleges: Sub
ject to the same formula of dis
tribution, l suggest that portion of
said sum be devoted to the construc-
ton of reasonable number of jun
ior Colleges for the education of
Negro youth of the state It seems
to me that one of our most serious
problems and greatest responsible
lities in education is presented by
the need for better trained teachers
for our Negro schools and better
school facilities I urge your serious
and favorable consideration of this
problem
On Juvenile Delinquency: THE
Negro Industrial School at Oakley
was completed on time and there
are now present in the school fifty
four students There is greatest
need for additional buildings and
equipment. l urge that buildings
to accommodate at least three humid
red more be authorized by you.
Let me urge your serious con-
sideration of this report of the trus-
tees Of this school in which they
seek additional support fund and
urge to supply the funds necessary
to carry on the work of this school"
The above quotes from Governor
Baileys message have been reprinted
here because we feel that they
should be of interest to our read
ers, many of whom may have and
may have not read the entire mes
sage as given in the daily papers.
