Two Men Charged With
Operating Taxis In
ClintWoOd

H. r. (Preach) Mullins and
Carl Hammons will go on trial
in the court of the Clintwood may
or Friday for taking passengers
in their cabs from within the cor
porate limits of Clintwood last
week.
There seems to be no dispute
over the facts. Each of the taxi
drivers came into town and haul
ed a passenger outside the town
limits in response to telephone
calls.
These drivesr were not given
corporation cab licenses and
established a stand by the side Of
the Playground, outside of town.
They evidently violated the town
ordinance by taking passengers
within the corporation. They con
tend that they have this right
under certain conditions, within
the state law.

Editor The Herald:
I read the item ''Three Buddies
From Clintwood" and wish to add
little to it. First of all, there
are more than three of us here,
and, secondly, we are not no
miles apart.
Here is the story:
At present there are six of us.
All except two are within forty
miles of each other. The list
runs, Capt. H. S. Harley, his wife
and child, living at Camp Atsugi,
which is about one hours drive
from here. Pvt. Lockhart and Pvt.
Smith are stationed at Camp Nc
Gill, which is about the same dis
lance from Yokohoma, only in an
opposite direction. The other two,
Pvt. Oscar J. Deloach and Pvt.
Cecil Dotson are at Camp Craw-
ford and the 25th Infantry Divis-
ion, respectively, which is not
much over 100 miles from here.
Last of all, yours truly, stationed
in the city of Yokohoma.
1t might also be interesting to
know how we met, since none Of
us except Lockhart and Smith
came here together.
Capt. Harley was about the
first to get here, and I landed in
the latter part of February, this
year. 1 had obtained Capt. Har-
ley's address from his wife while
I was home on leave Christmas,
and l Immediately started a
search for my former teacher and
intimate friend. Finally by t h e
first of March, I had been able to
contact him by phone, whereupon
he informed me that his wife and
child had arrived the day pre-
vious. A few days later we met
unexpectedly at the main post
exchange here in Yokohoma. 1t
sure was good to see ,somenoe
from home again. In discussing
old times, the subject arose about
some of the other boys here. I
had no idea how to go about find
ing them, as l didn't know their
addresses.
One day a friend asked me to
go to Camp McGill with him to
see a friend of his. Almost the
first person I saw was Pvt. Smith
and we proceeded to Pvt, Lock-
hart's barracks where we celebrat
ed our reunion. Since that time
we have been able to see each
other almost any day we desired,
A few days ago another friend

RUFUS MCCOY TO
ENTER RACE FOR
LEGISLATURE

Petitions are being prepared
for the entrance of C. r. Mccoy,
chairman of the board of super
visors into the race for the seat

The Herald Seems To
Get Around

asked me to take in ball game
with him. At the time I didn't
know WHO was playing. / seated
myself in the stand and began to
observe the players, and who
should be catching for the 25th
Division but Cecil Dotson! After
very warm greeting he inform
ed me that he had been staying
with Capt. Harley some during
his stay here. He played another
game and then returned to his
outfit. AS of this writing, I've not
had the good fortune to see Pvt.
Deloach, but I have a letter or SO
from him and know his where
abouts. I received word from
home that Pvt. Taylor Mooney,
Pvt. Bill Mullins and Pvt. John
ny Artrip Of ClintWood (Fox-

this theater soon.
We are all pretty well satisfied
here, even though we are all
looking forward to seeing friends
back in good old Clintwood in the
next year or so.

CITIZENS ATTEND HEARING
ON CURTAILMENT OF
TRAIN SERVICE

At least five county citizens at
tended the hearing before the
State Corporation Commission in
Richmond Tuesday, on the petl-
ton of Clinchfield Railway to cur
tail passenger service on the rail
road.
Among those attending were
Hansel Fleming, Commemorative
Attorney, representing the board
of supervisors; Ralph Newberry
of Cllntwood, and Granville Rob-
inson, Haskell Arlington, and
Fred Raines, mayor of Haysi. The
Dickinson County group present
ed arguments against the curtail-
ment of passenger trains.
The railway company has ask
ed to cut service to three trains
each way during a week, with no
service on Sunday. For example,
a train would go north on Mon
day and return south on Tues
day. The most serious loss to the
county would be in the way OF
mail and express.

The ghost of old General"

Volumes have been written about

Towering shrubs. lovely gardens

hard to find q more beautiful city.
For many it's the "drop-in'

necessary to spend a lot Of money

TheChef
Says

I seem to keep harping on the
famous Nader restaurant-but
Judging from the great response I
have had from readers who love
the place, and have enjoyed its
fine foods and wines, I am sure
that the subject will find q well
come.
Today. just to keep in tune with
the season, am going to give
you the recipe for Mai Bowie"
or May wine as they call it at
Mader's. There 1t is already pre-
pared and bottled, with the herb
woodruff or waldmeister giving its
distinctive flavor to the dry white
wine. and is poured over straw
berries in a chilled bowl or glasses.
But if you wish to make the
bowie" from scratch, as it were,
here is how it is done:
Take a handful Of the herb,
woodruff should be used before
1t fowers-and put 1t in a bowl.
Crush it lightly as you would mint
for a julep, then sprinkle it with
Just a little powdered sugar. Pour
over it " bottle Of chilled white
wine, Chablis, Rhine or Moselle.
Cover the bowl, and let all steep
for S hours or 50. Then strain the
infused wine into large punch
bowl or tall pitcher, and dilute
the infused wine with 2 parts wine
and / part champagne. Drop in
q handful of strawberries-if you
can get wild ones. they are per-
fect-and then pack the bowl or
pitcher in crushed ice in q larger
container. Do not put ice directly
into the wine as that dilutes 1t too
much and destroys the delicate
flavor and bouquet. Both the wine
and the champagne should be
thoroughly chilled before adding
to the infusion. and the infused
wine should be kept in the re-
frigerator while sleeping.
remember May years ago
when I was living in Berlin, and
every restaurant made a speciality
of the Mai Bowie. There wild
strawberries grew in profusion.
and were brought to the city mar
kets in overfiowing baskets all
through the season. The COM
bination of the wonderful little
berries and the woodruff and the
wines made this one Of the most
delectable drinks ever concocted.
We serve the modern version
often when the woodruff is at its
best, cutting the large strawberries
in halves. The bowie makes a
fine light spring punch" for after
noon receptions or to serve before
q luncheon or brunch in place Of
cocktails.
BY the way, I still have some Of
the Nader wine recipe leaflets
I've had to have batch after batch
made up, the demand for them
has been so great-and If you

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine lowmon

Have you been making faces at
anybody lately? How about max
ing a face at yourself today? Sit
in front of a mirrow and scare
yourself into greater beauty.
Facial exercises have helped many
women keep facial contour flrm
and improve slumping contour but
you do look a little gruesome when
you do them.
AS women grow older there is a
lessening of the layer Of fat be-
tween the skin and muscles. The
face has less tone. However, when
we increase muscle tone and stir
up circulation in our faces, 1t is
helpful.
Here is one motion for beauty.
Apply lubricating cream lavishly.
Pat it into the face and give it
little time to soak in and soften
the skin.
Then do this exercise: Open your
mouth halfway. Keep your jaws
in this position as you lift the
corners of your mouth upward.
Hold a few moments. Slowly re-
lax. Repeat about six times the
first day and increase until you
are doing this exercise about 20
times daily.
Another funny face: Stay In
front Of your mirror II you can
stand it. Pull the left corner Of
your mouth upward toward the
left ear. Do this slowly. Hold q
few moments. Slowly return
mouth to normal. This time left
the right corner of your mouth
toward your right ear. Hold a
few moments and relax.
Leave the mirror for this one:
Fill your cheeks with air. Sub
merge your face under water in
the bathroom bowl. While the
face is under water and your
cheeks are still inflated. tap gently
over the face with your fingertips.
Come up for air. Repeat several
times.
If you would like to indulge
regularly in facial exercises in the
wish to avoid facial sag, send a
stamped. self-addressed envelope
with your request for leafiet No. 8
