THE SPORTING THING
by bf

Art Louie, the Chinese American at
Hab's Sporting Goods store, called us the
other day and asked us what we thought
about possible Chinese AllStar and Japa-
nese (Nisei) All-Star basketball game as a
laundering climax to the hoop season in this
end of the town.
The idea is fine, o. k, and all that but
this corner fears the Chinese are bit too
good for the present crop of Nisei hoopsters.
Fellows like AL Mar, Ed Yaplee, Eddie
Wong and Louie himself aren't in the Nisei
Glass A loop.
But then again, as Louie pointed out,
there is the beautiful picture of having two
Oriental all-stars under one roof
The Nisei could assemble such capable
performers as Shobo Full, Heat Heyame-
to, Shig Takeuchi, Joe Fujii, Isao Nishiml-
ia, Terry Kurimura, Chuck Kinoshita and
Manabu Fujino. They might be able to hold
their own against the King Street cagers.
That's the story, you Nisei. It's your move
now.

Browning chief., 1947-01-10

The first white men went into what
is now West Virginia as early as
1719, and a few years later cabins
were being built. After 1875, South
Branch valley began to fill up with
the overflow from Shenandoah val
ley and from Pennsylvania and
Maryland. Settlers were of several
nationalities - and the composition
of the people of West Virginia al
ways has been different from that of
the country east of the mountains.
Story of Controversy.
West Virginians heartily support
ed the Revolution and sent troops
to help New England and the Mid
die Colonies, but the history of west
ern Virginia before 1901 is story
of controversy with eastern Vir-
ginia. Socially, politically and eco
nomically, the two sections were un-
like from the very beginning. West
ern Virginia was democratic while
eastern Virginia was aristocratic.
The idea of separation wss fore
most long before the Civil war.
When war broke out between the
states in 1861, there were bound to
be repercussions through the en-
tire state. Eastern Virginia was the
heart of the Confederacy. Western
Virginia was opposed to secession.
The long desired separation was eff

fected, not with the Civil war as a
cause, but rather as an opportunity.
On December 81, 1862, the congress
Of the United States gave its con-
sent to admit West Virginia as
state, and the next spring, on April
20, 1868, President Lincoln issued
his proclamation. West Virginia be-
came the 35th state of the union two
months later.
Many Historic Shrines.
Three states and two rivers meet
at historic Harpers Ferry where
John Browns anti-slavery raid was
staged. Blackwater falls, Seneca
rocks, Pinnacle rock, the burial
mounds at Moundsville, the state
capitol building, the historic
shrines all are interesting and
worthwhile.
From mountain tops to blue
grass farms, the agricultural
side Of West Virginia Is
revelation. Anyone must mar
vel at the agriculture and fruit
that are produced in a state
that ranks among the first in
industry. Prize beef and btu
minous coal? Yes, anything Is
possible in West Virginia.
Gen. "Stonewall'' jackson was
born at Clarksburg, and West Vir-
ginia also gave the nation John w.
Davis, Pearl S. Buck and Ann Jar
Wis. In case you've forgotten, it was
Ann Jarvis who in 1907 asked a
group of Philadelphia friends to
wear white carnations on the first
anniversary of her mothers death
and thereby founded Mothers
Day.
State of Contrasts.
The states northwestern border is
the Ohio river, the aquatic highway
that opened the west. But the Mo-
nongahela and the Kanawha rivers
are important too. West Virginia's
elevations range from 240 to 1880
feet above sea level, with the high
est average elevation of any state
east of the Rockies. Yes, it's a
mountainous state, but every wooded
hill, every shady nook and every
sparkling stream belongs to just
such a state. About go per cent Of
the states area is covered by for
est, with trees ranging from spruce
in the highlands to prickly pear
cactus and other semi-desert plants
in the lowlands.
Scenery, wildlife and extensive,
semi-primitive areas combine to lure
vacationists to West Virginia's two
vast national forests, the Mononga-
hela and the George Washington.
The state also has Is state parks
and seven state forests.
Fishing, hunting, hiking, riding,
swimming, golf, tennis, boating
well, what do you want for recre-
alton? And what is your trade, what
are your business ambitions, your
specifications for success? And what
of your "dream" home where nature
is loveliest? Perhaps the answer is
in West Virginia!

"Chust look at dis! It's
COAL"
John Peter Salley, one of an
exploring party, had picked up
what seemed to be another
rock, and found it to be btu
minuos coal. Today West Vir-
ginia, with its 585 mines, often
Is referred to as the "coal bin of
America"
When William Tompkins used nat
ural gas as fuel to evaporate water
from brine in 1841, he became one
of the first men in the United
States to use gas for industrial uses.
West Virginia's natural gas produc-
ton In 1914 was 213 billion cubic
feet.
In 1887 Elisha Brooks began ex-
tracing salt for commercial pur-
poses from a brine spring in Kama
wha valley near the present site Of
Charleston. Other West Virginia
salt works have been operating for
more than 100 years.
Develop New Industries.
As early as 1890 a furnace was
built by Peter Tarr of Kings Creek,
near the present site of Weirton, now
one of the biggest steel producing
cities in America. Cannon balls made
hece were used by Commodore
Perry's fleet in the Battle of Lake
Erie in 1913.
Michael J. Owens, son of a coal
miner, invented bottle-making
machine in 1903 and started a new
epoch in that industry. West Vir-
ginia produced, in prewar years,
glass, china and pottery valued at
SO million dollars annually.
Miflin Marsh made stogies and
sold them to passengers on Ohio
river boats in 1910. M. Marsh &
Son, Wheeling, is reputed to be the
largest stogie manufacturer in the
United States.
And back in 1915, when World
War I cut off the German supply of
playing marbles, Akro Agate was
founded at Clarksburg, and today
the concern makes over half of the
worlds glass marbles.
But lest West Virginia's in
dustrial achievements blind us
to her other claims to fame and
distinction, let us look farther
than bituminOus coal produc-
tion, natural gas, petroleum,
chemicals, salt, stone, hardwood
timber, steel and iron manu-
facture, textiles, glass, pottery,
ceramics and others. There is
also the romantic and historic
West Virginia. And there Is the
mountainous and scenic West
Virginia which has become one
of the nations greatest recre-
atiOnal areas.

Old-timers used to talk about "this

have the answer to how the express
sion started. Back in the wilder

Northern Neck of Virginia."

takes of the traditions of both those
