WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUB
ACTIVE In COUNTY
BY MRS. JOE KENADY

Even though it is something
new in Dickinson County, Wo-
men Republican Clubs have ex
listed ever since American women
first began taking an active part
in politics.
The women of this county were
very fortunate, indeed, in having
Mrs, Milford Martin of Jones'
vile to organize such a club here.
These clubs, local and statewide,
came into being as voluntary re
spone to the two needs of women
in politics; one, the need for pol
itical education; and, two, h e
need for an avenue of expression
of loyalty to the Republican par
ty, Mrs. Joe Kenady, president Of

Foxes Destroy Turkeys
Released In National
Forest

Otto Kendrick, forestry and
wildlife manager for the Cumber
land Mountain area of the nation
al forest service, in town Mon
day, said that ten of the turkeys
recently released in the noun
tain had been killed by predatory
animals and that five others
were missing, and had likely
gone the same way. He found
the remains of the 10 birds where
they had been ranging.
He fears that it will be impos-
sible to raise any turkeys in that
section as long as bobcats, foxes
and minks are numerous as they
now are.
1t will be recalled that in the
fall of 1943 the forest service re-
leased Is turkeys near the forest
ry cabin in the Blowing Rock sec
ton and that all of them were
killed in the same night by wild
animals.

Coal Boom Passes But
Work Still Fairly
Steady

Like the Old Gray Mare, coal
"Aint what she used to be-" But
the industry is by no means dead
and miners are able to make de-
cent wages. The mines at Clinch-
co, Lick Fork, Meade Fork, Splash
dam and Wakenva are running
about four days a week. The coal
market, though a bit slack, seems
to be steady.
About fifteen truck mines in
the Clintwood seam are working
They keep busy the greater part
of the time with irregular ship
ments and domestic orders for
home use.
The coal boom has definitely
passed, it would appear. But it
seems probable that the coal bus
mess will supply ready cash to
Dickinson County for years to
come.

Three Day Walkout At
Clinchco Mines Ends

A three-day walkout from the
Clinchco mines was ended by a
union vote Wednesday afternoon.
The miners came out in protest
againts, the employment Of Ala
mander Silcox.
1t appears that some objection
grew up against the way Silcox
acted as a justice of the peace.
Friction began several months
ago, and the justice of the peace
was fined twice in trial justice
court, once on a charge of assault
and again on a count of abusive
language. The union finally de-
manded that Silcox either re-
sign his office or be separated
from his job in the mines, After
the justice failed to resign, the
miners demanded that the coal
corporation discharge him. When
the discharge was not made, they
struck.
1t is reported that the miners
went back to work with the I'M
Outstanding that they had to be
at work before charges could be
brought against Silcox before the
operators.
Trial Justice E. j. Sutherland
states that a suit for the removal
of any officer who has been con-
victed of an offense can be
brought in circuit court.

So far, much interest has been
