Former County Citizen
Finally Returns To
Home Tn Far West

FREEZING, Jan. 81 Especial
Egbert Swindall, after post
pOnng the return trip many times
finally departed the first of this
week for his home at Centralia,
Washington. He went west in
1901, finally settling at Contra
liza, and was never back until he
came back with Elder Ted Swim
dali, who was touring the west,
in late October. Mr.. Swindan
spent much of the time he was
here with his brother, NJ. T., at
Osborne Gap.
Due to mechanical trouble and
bad weather, the school bus did
not reach the Pound River Sec
ton this week until Wednesday.
The school children, not worrying
much about when the bus would
come, passed much of the time
skating on the ice over the creek
and coasting on tn hillsides.
The writer notices news items
from various parts of Kentucky
lately to the effect that chestnut
trees are making a steady come
back in that state and that many
trees are now large enough to
bear nuts. This is not the case
here, sorry to say. AS all grown
people will recall, the chestnut
blight wiped out the chestnuts
here nearly 20 years ago. Sprouts
have sprung up from the roots of
the dead chestnut trees for sew
eral years, but these always die
before the reach much size.

COAL BOOM HITS
POUND RIVER
SECTION

freezing, Jan. 21.--The writer
ventures the opinion that at least
Is truck mines are being operat-
ed within a radius of fou miles
of Freezing, all hauling their OUT
put to the railroad statoa at Ere
mont, Is miles away, where the
coal is loaded into cars furnished
by Clinchfield Coal Corporation.
So pressing is the orders for coal
tor shipping that people living in
this area have hard time get
ting coal for domestic use during
the cold weather that has pre-
vailed for the last two weeks, de
spite the fact that mines are be-
ing operated on every side.
A small mine is being operat-
ed near here, employing four or
five men ON day and night shifts,
averaging 80 tons of coal per day.
The output of part of the other
mines in the neghborhood aver
ages about the same.
At the mouth of Camp Greek,
on Pound River, coal tipples dot
the hillsides on almost every
side. There the output of all the
mines within small area is so
heavy that would-be-heirs of
pioneers who once owned h
land are busy searching old re-
cords, trying to find some flaw
in the title whereby they may
Lay claim to at least part of the
land, and thus share in the har~
vest being reaped.
It is now being said that every
man in Dickinson county not al
ready in the coal business is
searching with pick and shovel
for a seam. This reminds one OF
the stories of the trek to the
gold mines of California in l849.
But every now and then some
one pauses long enough to sober
ly inquire what is going to hap
pen to this county when the coal
boom is over.
The timber is now a thing of
the past. The hills have been
stripped of their protective COW
ering and erosion has set in. The
greater part of the land no long

SCHOOL PATRONS
HERE DISCUSS
BOND ISSUE

More than 200 enthusiastic pa
irons met here at the local high
school on Monday night and dis
cussed the proposed school build
ing program for Clintwood and
other high school centers in the
county. Every community served
by Dickinson Memorial had a
representative delegation of cit
liens present.
Supt James NJ. Skeen was in
charge of the meeting and led
the discussion in regard to the
needs of ClintWood. Hes gave a
very definite idea of the many
advantages accruing to the chill
dren from the construction of
modern high school buildings at
this time. He also pointed out in
detail the many difficulties which
might arise from the construction
of buildings during the present
year, especially in regard to the
matter of financing such a COM
prehensive building program.
After thorough discussion of
the proposed construction pro-
gram, the patrons present voted
unanimously to authorize the SUI
perintendent to take immediate
steps in preparation for a bond
issue sufficient to finance the
building program and to include
in. the school budget for next ses
sion for consideration of the
board of supervisors a sufficient
levy to take care of the cost OF
such a program.
Patrons and citizens taking
part in the discussion were S. H.
Sutherland, A. A. Skeen, Jr., Rev.
D. C, Leidig, Guy Priode, Elmer
Poore, H. NJ. Sutherland, M. T.
Meade, Hampton Osborne, Chas.
S. Perkins and others.
The construction of the much
needed high school buildings is
in line with the recommendations
of the survey commission of the
State Department of Education
which studied the needs of the
county during an extended visit
here in October, 1916.
In addition to recommending
new high school buildings at
Clintwood, Haysi and Nora and
the elimination of the high school
department at Clinchco by COM
bining with the high school at
Nora, the commission recommend
ed for long range building pro-
gram the consolidation of nearly
all the elementary schools in the
county at convenient centers as
road construction permitted.
Due to their size and location,

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug. A.
Drastic changes were made today in
the government of Montenegro. Vice
President Bozho Ljumovic and three
ministers were replaced by men who
are affirmed leaders in Premier
Marshal Tito's Communist Party.
No reason was given in this n"

the revisions. but it seemed appar-
ent that Tito's followers are living
up to promise they made at
recent Communist Party congress
to strengthen the party's ranks in
important government posts.

At the same time, it was an
nounced that the Montenegrin re-
gional conference of Communists
would be held October to found
the Communist Party of Montenegro
and to elect the central committee
Of the new organization.
Heretofore, Montenegro has had
no party organization of its own
but has been under the regional
direction Of the Federal Yugoslav
Party Most other republics in the
country have their own party Or
ganizations. Montenegro is in
Southern Yugoslavia between the
Dalmatian coast and Serbia.

Although all the old government
members who were relieved of
their duties" were delegates to the
recent Communist Party congress
in Belgrade, none of them were on

powerful control commission and
was replaced in that job by Savo

Eugene Dennis told the party's

desire to take over" the new

ultimate aims of the Communist

from those of the Wallace Progress
sives.
