Record Row

In q business bristling with
new Developments, the newest
note Ia the advent of a shellac
record by Hi-Tone. that sells for
quite q bit less than any record
now on the market. The speciality
Of this firn. whose records are
carried by q local store. Is the
pairing Of two current hits on
, each record, and the using of
competent. but lesser known
artists, to do the singing and
playing Of these hits.
An interesting experiment, 1t
is also TO date a successful one,
with these records outselling at
the store the higher priced ones

Large "Wildcat' Gas
Project In This
Section

Three Pittsburgh, Pa, firms
are participating in one of the
largest wildcat gas develop
ments in the United States in a
tract of more than one million
acres in Virginia.
The exploratory drilling pro-
ject is being financed by Clinch-
field Coal Corporation and the
tract is located in Dickinson,
Wise and Buchanan counties.
The largest cable tool outfits
available are being used in the
test wells, which, if necessary,
may be drilled to depth of 49,
600 feet. There is sufficient pipe
on hand to drill ten wells and if
agas field is found large drilling
campaign is expected to be under
taken.

FARMERS NEARING
GLOWING ROCK
GAP WITH ROAD

Honest Tiv' Mullins seemed to
be one of the happiest men in all
this section Monday. His dream
of road through the Blowing
Rock Gap seemed to be one step
nearer to reality.
Tiv appeared before the Board
of Supervisors, asking for some
help on this road. He asked, and
he received, according to t h e
promise of the Good Book. The
Board allowed $500 for blasting
material to remove two cliffs be-
tween the foot of the mountain
and the gap. Tiv figures that pri-
vate efforts will supply the labor
Then, he says, trucks will be able
to travel through the gap.
The road between Shelby Gap
and Elkhorn City will soon be
hard-surfaced all the way. Al
ready there is passable truck
road from ASH Camp to Blowing
Rock Gap. When the section
from the foot of the mountain Is
finished, Clintwood and surround
ing territory will be linked with
Kentucky. Then, enough boosting
could result in an all-year road.
This road is important as link
between the two states. 1t is also
important because the limestone
in the region of the gap can be
made available to farmers.
