fiscal year in the councils annual
report to the Commissioners
In accordance with the council s
recommendation some time ago
the report noted, the board has
now instructed its staff to discon-
tinue use of the same job de-
scriptions in approving on-the-
Job training under the CT Bill as
in approving apprenticeship.
This clarification of policy OF
the Board of Education will go a
long way toward clearing up long
standing confusion and misunder-
standing in the minds of many
honest employers sincerely inter-
ested in training GI apprentices.
it was said. "and. at the same
time. it will prevent many un-
scrupulous employers from ex-
plotting veterans under psuedo-
apprenticeship training"
To Eliminate Duplication.
In addition. the report ex-
planned, it will eliminate much
unnecessary overlapping of efforts

tape. Misrepresentation and ap-
parent conflict of programs"
The council, 1t was emphasized

councils report said.
practically all of these grad

employed as journeymen crafts

whom they completed their train

First Woman Registered.
The year brought registration of
the first woman apprentice under
the District Apprenticeship Law.
the city heads were informed. and
there now are about 18 women
registered as apprentices, mainly
in the bindery trade.
An increasing number of high
school graduates is being regis
tered. the report said. 1t pointed
out that since the first of the year,
of 327 apprentices registered, only
1872, or So per cent, were veterans,
although for the three years fol-
lowing the end of World War II,
the number of GIs averaged about
80 per cent of total registrations.
The trend was cited as being
in accordance with the basic aims
and purposes of the District Ap-
premiership Law - to provide
young people "the opportunity for
training in manual and mechan-
ical trades under registered ap-
premiership agreements which
will equip them for profitable en-
ployment and citizenship"

Much ado has been made dur
ing this primary campaign over
the fact that Senator Harry F.
Byrd opposed the confirmation of
Floyd Roberts as federal Judge a
few years ago.
They overlook the fact that
Senators Carter Glass and Byrd
opposed Judge Roberts because
they were not consulted in any
way about the appointment and
that Roberts nomination was re-
jected by the Senate 70 to 9.
Now, another similar case
comes up over the appointment of
a federal judge in Iowa and Sen
ator. Gillette, Democrat, announc-
es that he will oppose the nom
nation of man named by Pres.
Truman, because he, the Senator,
was not consulted.
And, would you believe it? The
record shows that Harry S. Tru-
man, then United States Sena-
tor from Missouri, voted against
confirming the nomination of
Judge Floyd Roberts.

THE STORY OF
DAVE HALL

Thirty-five years ago Morgan
Mullins Of Norland received let
ter from Clintwood. 1t was from
his cousin, Dave Hall, then in
jail waiting to be transported to
the state penitentiary. The letter
was request that Mr.. Mullins
come to the jail and take into his
care and keeping a document
which Dave Hall deemed import
ant. Morgan came and received
the writing, which purported to
be true history of the trouble
between Dave Hall and Mart Pot
ter. Mr.. Mullins filed the account
among his important papers. He
has kindly given it to us for pub
LEGATION. Assured that it will be
of no offense to any living per-
son, we print it exactly as writ
ten.
Clintwood Jail, Va.
July %, 1914
This is the trouble between
; Dave Hall and Mart Potter from
the beginning to the end. Com
posed by Dave Hall. Potter lived
in the state of Kentucky ana
wasn't any officer and came to

Despite their opinions of us,

| mention a few of those who
have made good in our county re
Gently. These are merely cross
section of the hundreds who have
reached top honors in their work.
SHARON JEAN SUTHER-
LAND, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Judge Sutherland, a native of
Dickinson County, has been high
ly honored by the junior class of
the School of Nursing at the I'm
iversity of Virginia Hospital. She
has been elected president of the
Junior class and vice president of
the student council. Such posi-
ton carries with it much respon-
sibility and efficient leadership,
which we feel Miss Sutherland
amply possesses. After finishing
high school at Clinchco, she grad
uated with honors at Lincoln Me
mortal University.
JOSEPH MULLINS, son of Ed
er Mullins of Flemingtown is
quiet, unassuming kind of lad
who does more thinking and less
talking. He has been honored by
the student body of Hiwassee Col
lege, Madisonville, Tenn, by
electing him president with many
candidates competing for the hon
or. The best of luck to you, Jo-
seph in your honored position.
We feel that the student body OF
his college will see more clearly
as time passes the wisdom of
their choice.
RAYMOND BEVERLY, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Beverly of
Freeling-on-the-Pound, has been
presented with two awards of hon
or by his college at Berea, Ky. A
scholarship award was given by
Mrs. H. A. Clark of Syracuse, N.
Y. Only two awards of this type
were granted, the other going to
senior of San Francisco, Calf.
This award was given to those do
ing outstanding work in physics.
Raymond received his elemen~
tary education at Bear Pen School
On Pound River, and was a most
likable boy. He made outstanding
grades during high school at Dick
enson Memorial and was warmly
commended by the Principal, Paul
Skeen.
Francis S. Hutchens, president
of Berea College, wrote Mr.. Bev-
erly as follows: 81 sent for Ray
mond to come and see me. was
pleased with him, and glad that
he feels rather confident in his
present program"
He was heartily congratulated
by both faculty and students on
these awards, granted May II,
1949, and with pardonable pride
he is preserving the notes of con
graduation. Such boys as Ray
mond are credit to the hill coun
try from which they come.
must mention two fine stu
dents who have been outstanding
in All Club work in Dickinson
County and were given recogni-
ton of their work by a fully paid
trip to the national Ali conven~
ton in Chicago this summer.
Katherine Mullins, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Newton Mullins of
Georges Fork, won the statewide
contest in the art of canning.
Katherine made many other out
standing records in her All Club
work.
