More Deer Released
This Week In
Cumberlands

Fifteen white-tailed deer were
released in the south of Cumber-
land Mountain early Wednesday
morning and the animals, as US
ual, took off into the dense Under
growth that covers part of the
mountain.
The deer Were brought from
Pennsylvania, having been trap
ped in the sections of that state
where they now have too many
of them. They were paid for by
the Virginia state game commits
sion out of funds derived from
the Pittman-Robertson Act.
1t will be recalled that fifteen
deer of the same sort were turn
ed loose over on the mountain
about two weeks ago.
All of them were placed in
charge of Otto Kendrick, oversees
for the National Forest Service.

Supervisors to Take Look
At County Budget at
March Meeting

The Board OF Supervisors IS
looking forward to an all-day SEES
sion at the meeting on March z.
In addition to the routine claims,
several matters of special inter-
est will come before the board.
The county budget for the fis-
cal year beginning. July will
be presented for consideration,
but not for passage. Final action
on the budget will be taken at
the April meeting.
The hearing on the secondary
road budget is expected to draw
delegations from all parts of the
county. Other items of interest
will be the proposed stock law
for that part of the Kerr Precinct
lying north of the Fremont high
way, the proposed stock law for
the Yates Gap and Brush Creek
sections and horse and mule law
for the Duty Precinct.

OLD KING COAL
TAKES NEW
LEASE ON LIFE

Old King Coal is behaving him
self as if he had taken nip or
so from that bowl.
Increased activity is noted
among the truck mines, and new
leases in the ClintWood seam are
reported. Meade Fork has been
working five days a week. How
ever, Lick Fork has been on the
drag. There is a rumor among
the miners that Lick Fork has
received a huge order One form
of the report is that this opera
ton has a five-year order for a
million aand half tons annual
ly.
On the other hand. a feeling
exists among the workers that a
strike is probable from the first
Of July over a period of several
weeks. The reasoning seems to
be that the operators, with a
huge stockpile, may attempt to
reduce wages and to force the
mine union to yield on other
points.

year of 1943 Counts had worked
for a Roanoke equipment firm
and had secured contracts for
fire-fighting equipment. He al
legged, the agent testified, that he
had made "payoffs' to Senator
Glass for his help in getting the
contracts,

had not expected the agent to
testify to a matter that had been
told him in confidence.
Representatives of the Roanoke
firm branded the story of pay
ments to Senator Glass as ''pre-
posterous." Carter Glass, Jr., son
of the late senator, said that his
father had been too i'll to trans
act any business during the whole

OF
All
Things!

The Commissioner of Revenue
figures that more than three mil
lion gallons of gasoline were sold
in Dickinson County last year.
AT the rate of six cents a gallon,
the gasoline tax amounted to
more than 100000. He wants to
know if that much was spent on
the roads of this county.
1t would appear that We spent
a million dollars for gasoline in
one year. That is nearly three
times as much as we spent Tor
education.
The WPA graded and based
many miles Of road in Dickinson
County. We make the flat asser-.
ton that these roads have not
been kept up. Maybe the decay
started during the war years
when materials were scarce.
Whatever the cause may be, these
roads are wearing out. Go over a
few of them and see for your
self, if you don't mind humping
over washboards and dropping
into chug holes.
Before leaving the subject of
roads, we shall again utter a
warning. Unless this county re-
stakes a claim, it will one day
find that its dream of highway
through the Breaks, by way of
Bart Lick and Haysi, has been
only the unsubstantial fabric of
a vision. If the interstate road
should be routed up Grassy and
down Bull Creek, with spur
from Grassy to Flatwoods, our
entire community would be hurt.
& !;
Is there nothing we can do
about the weather? The sunny
days Of January and February
have set the buds to swelling and
the grass to growing. That would
be fine if March, with its Sow
killing days, and April, with its
late frosts were not behind. Well
support the first candidate who
comes out on platform to make
the weather behave.
A lot of people are leaving our
community these days = going
elsewhere to find work or better
opportunities. We are sorry to see
them go, for a great many will
stay away for good. Go just about
anywhere and you will find peo-
pie from the hills of Dickinson
County, most of them doing we'll
