Small Number of Truck
Mines Resume
Operation

Several of the coal leases which
were cancelled by the Clinchfield
Coal Corporation, effective Nov
26, have been renewed. Renewals
it is understood, have been grant
ed to lessees who operated the
larger truck mines and employed
a number of workers. However,
all such renewals have beef made
with the understanding that the
mines are to be run with union
labor.
Mines thus operating are on
the present three day schedule
and will automatically come I'M
der the contract which the Unit
ed Mine Workers and the coal
operators eventually make. Other
truck mines in this section work
ing under leases from other coal
companies or under private own
ership are running regularly.

Large Amount of Bogus
Money Thought
In Circulation

Take a good look at all five,
ten, and twenty dollar bills COM
ing your way.
That warning is issued by the
Treasury Department, which has
found that more than a million
dollars in counterfeit bills is now
in circulation. Juts how h e
Treasury has found about the
counterfeit is not generally
known. The bills, it is said, are
cleverly done, even mixed with
red smeaks to initiate the proper
markings. Treasury officials are
sure that the fake money will be
in circulation during the holiday
season, as brisk trade and tenn
porary clerks will make the pas
sage of the counterfeit easier.

TAX COLLECTIONS
UNUSUALLY GOOD
THIS YEAR

Tax collections in Dickinson
County have been unusually good
this year, according to Treasurer
German B. Sutherland. Monday
was the last day for the payment
of taxes before the penalty of 5
per cent came on, and at the end
of business more than IS per cent
of this years taxes had come in.
Tax collections at this time are
more than $4,000 above the fig
ure for the same date last year.
A wider coverage of state income
taxes is partially responsible for
the gain. The total of assessed
taxes in the county which are
paid through the treasurer's Of
flee amount to- a little more than
100000. The big accounts are
practically all paid. The bulk of
unpaid taxes is on small tickets.

Train Service Cut
Permitted On
Clinchfield r. r,

Records of the State Railroad
and Public Utilities Commission
at Nashville, Tenn, showed last
week that 120-day deadline for
action on a petition of Clinchfield
Railroad for reduction of its Ten
nessee passenger service on the
Elkhorn City, Ky.-Spartanburg,
S. c., line has expired.
This means, it was said, that
the railroad may reduce its pas
senger trains from seven each
way a week to three. The railroad
had asked permission to do so in
its petition.
A 1949 law set up procedure
for a public hearing on the dis
continuance of passenger service
but specified that failure of the
commission to issue final order
within 100 days would constitute
authorization of the charge The
petition was filed June 20.
The railroad is asking reeula-
tory authorities in four other
states in which the line runs for
the same authority. They are
South Carolina, North Carolina,
Kentucky and Virginia. Tennes-
see commission records showed
Virginia has granted. authority for
the change, effective Dec. II.

Remire Sutherland of Mcclure

campaign director for Dickinson

infantile paralysis.
THE nation suffered its heav-
lest toll of polio in 1949 with
mere than 10000 persons strick-
en-" said the General as he made
statewide appointments, "and
epidemic aid funds are VIII tually
exhausted. Who could say no to
the call of duty in this great
fight"
The General also said the coun
try is faced with the certainty
that $4,000 victims of 1949 must
be cared for in 1850, the greatest
carry-over case load in the r.
year history of the Foundation
Patient care alone in l949 cost
$31 100000 in March of Dimes
funds. This, added to the cost OF
continuing vital research and edu
cational programs, makes it clear
that only a united effort in Vir-
ginia can boost the March OF
Dimes to a total sufficient to do a
job almost twice as big as any

Sutherland will be asked to dou-

CONGRESS WILL.
INVESTIGATE
PRICE OF COFFEE

The government has become in
terested in the price of coffee.
A subcommittee of the Senate
Agriculture Committee has been
appointed to investigate the ris-
ing price of coffee in the United
States. This committee, consisting
of three senators, will question
producers, importers, refiners,
wholesalers and possibly retail
ers. The Department of Agricul-
ture has stated that there is no
real reason for the skyrocketing
coffee prices. Senator Gillette Of
Iowa, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, says coffee roasters have
been taking advantage of false
shortage reports circulated by
growers in Brazil. He says that a
drouth in the summer threatened
the growth of coffee but that
plentiful fall rains made up for
the earlier lack of water. The
senator further comments, "Ap-
parently, the public has been mis-
led into a tremendous quantity of
scare buying"

Santa Claus,
Wherever You Are
Dear Mr.. Santa:

Our acquaintance has not been
so close during the past few
years. l haven't set much value
on your goods, and you haven't
tried to force them on me. But
if there are no hard feelings. will
you fill these orders for me?
More than anything else, need
new supply of patience. What
little l was ever gifted with has
been worn thin by shifty eyed
liars, double crossers and eager
beavers. If you will bring me
some, patience, I will mix it with
understanding.
Then, would like to have the
health and strength to carry me
through a trip to Charleston,
South Carolina. The homes along
the Battery are, have heard,
most beautiful and most worth
seeing; they say the gardens in
that proud old city are breath
taking in loneliness, even in win
ter; and the flat Charleston
speech is strange and wondrous
to hear.
Do you mind if l put in re-
quest or so for friends? Victor,
the barber, needs either a cure
for his dog-trading or bit more
skill and luck in his bartering.
Another venerable friend, who
cannot realize that the days of
his youth are no more, needs
either charm to keep the
O0AiiPo d1l0 9SAutSiiGo 0Oli 1iio
after-Christmas countenance or
some more plausible ways of ex-
planning them.
These gifts would be appreci-
ated, sir, and put to the very best
use.
