BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
MEETS MONDAY

The Board of Supervisors of
this county met in regular month
ly session here Monday, with all
members present.
The day was taken up in con-
sidering requests for roads, ac-
cepting the reports of road view
ers and paying numerous claims.
The report of the viewers on
proposed road from Radford
Mullins store, near the Ghost
Rocks, to Jerry's branch was re-
ceived and approved.
An appropriation of $566.50
was made for an employee Of
the Jefferson National Forest in
Cumberland Mountain, who is
charged with protecting the for
ests and wildlife. This appropri-
alton was to match an equal
amount given by the federal gov
eminent to pay the wages of the
patrolman.
Numerous claims were made
and paid for sheep alleged to
have been killed by dogs in var
ious parts of the county.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1947-07-10

The people of this county are
interested a great deal in the
construction and repairs of roads.
We plan to give information in
the form of question and answer
during several weeks.
What is a primary highway?
It is a road connecting two or
more counties, having the same
number in one county as in an
other. This type of road is hard
surfaced and generally wider
than others. The primary high
way has the triangular state
marker. An example if a primary
highway is No. 83, running from
Pound through Dickinson a n d
Buchanan counties.
What is secondary highway?
A secondary highway is one
that serves only one county.
These roads are not usually hard
surfaced and are hardly ever as
wide as primary highways. An
example of secondary road is the
one between Fremont and Lick
Creek.
How many miles of primary
highways are there in Virginia?
Nine thousand miles.
How many miles of secondary
roads are there in Virginia?
Thirty EIGHT thousand miles.

Your County Roads

How many miles of primary
roads in Dickinson county?
Sixty-nine miles.
How many miles of secondary
roads in Dickinson county?
Three hundred eighty-four
miles.
What branch of government
handles all road money in this
state?
The Virginia Department Of
Highways. j. B. Wampler of Big
Stone Gap is a member of the
nine-man commission.
From what source does the De
partment of Highways get the
money for roads?
From the state gasoline tax,
automobile licenses and automo-
bile registration fees. Also more
than eight million dollars from
the federal government.
What chance has the property
owner of collecting damages
should his well Or spring be de-
stroyed, his fences and outbuild-
ings be torn down or the entrance
to his home be blocked by the
construction of a road?
None whatever. The state is
fully protected by law and has
all the powers of a Facist state
of the Old World.

$500 Farm Place

Made in January

Farm placements of white and CO.
lored veterans of World War II total
5,6l3 for January, the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture reports. This
compares with 4,936 for the same
period year ago. The increase
may be due in part to warmer
weather in January of this year.
OF the total placements, 2,22l were
made in the Southern States. I'm
der the farm labor program of the
Department, veterans are assisted
in finding farm employment and in
getting established as tenants and
sharecroppers.
Also, the Farmers Home Admin
istration and the Farm Credit Adj
ministration assist veterans to be-
come farm owners. Other farmers,
farm workers, tenants, and share
troopers also are aided in their eff
fort to become owners. Last year
the Farmers Home Administration
made farm ownership loans to g.

Next were neurophychiatric pa

orders and organic conditions of the

The disparity between the COM
paratively small number of neuro-

Southern Farm
Market Summary

Grain prices fell, carrots weaken
ed, and easiness developed at some
livestock markets last week. Other
southwest farm products held steady
to strong, according to the Produc-
ton and Marketing Administration,
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Grains opened the week with all
their recent vigor last Monday, but
fell rapidly on succeeding days to
net losses of to Is cents Wheat
and grain sorghums, spearheads of
past advances, felt most heavily the
weight of new bearish onslaughts.
At Fort Worth and Galveston, bulk
carlot sales of No. hard ordinary
wheat moved Friday at $2.87 per
bushel; and No 2 milo at $3.50 to
1928 per hundred pounds.
Rice demand remained strong
last week. Dealers found light
supplies hard to replenish, although
distribution continued at high
rate. Most feeds made net gains
of SO to SO per ton Alfalfa hay
values improved slightly, as late
wintry weather intensified demand.
Light offerings of prairie hay found
revived interest. Shelled peanut
prices stayed the same. Cold rains
rotted early seedlings in South Tex
as.
Early-week strength at cotton
markets gave way to pressure of
larger trade offerings later on.
Closing spot quotations last Friday
showed net losses of Is to so cents
per bale at some markets, to gains
of Is to 60 cents at others.
Egg and poultry prices continued
firm. On the round of southwest
markets, heavy hens brought % to
80 cents per pound; fryers and
broilers 80 to 3d. Eggs sold on the
average of 36 cents per dozen at
