ing the year of 1949, according to
records kept by Assistant Chief
Harold Hyland.
Of the 10 rural fires, only two
were of major Importance. One
was the gasoline fire at the Dar-
ling Company on the Delaware
road on Aug. 80. Damage there
was estimated at $500. On Nov.

March of Dimes
Drive is Starred

The 1850 march of dimes cam
paign got underway in Union
County Tuesday, Mrs. Aida Davis,
reported. This drive is
very important as last year was
one of the worst in the nation
in the number of cases, she de-
clared.
Money is needed to continue
treatment of local patients and
keep on with research work, she
stated. Although there were only
two new polio cases reported in
the county there are patients of
former years whose treatments
must be continued and who
must be supplied with braces,
special shoes, etc.
Last year, the Union County
Chapter spent S5997.43, including
donations to the State Fund
of $35l6.l5. The emergency drive
recently completed netted S1791-
.55 for the State fund.
Major local expenses were:
Warm Springs, Ga. Polio Center,
S854.35; Children's Hospital, $527-
rs; Columbus Orthopedic Appli-
ance Co., $79750, and supplies
and braces, S23O.23
Allen Haggard, campaign
manager, has chosen the town
ship chairmen and the drive will
soon be'in full swing.

SUPERVISOR JOE
DOTSON STILL
UNDER FIRE

On Monday, Commemorative
Attorney Hansel Fleming present
ed a petition to Judge Smith,
asking that the office of super
visor of the Kennedy District be
declared vacant. A petition for a
rule against the present super
visor, Joe G. Dotson, was declar-
ed out of order by the court a
week ago.
The petition presented by
Fleming alleges that Joe G. Dot
son was formerly resident OF
the Kennedy District but that he
disposed of his property in Dick
enson County on September &c,
1949, and that he removed to
Coeburn. There, the petition
states, he built new home and
a business establishment, which
he has since operated. The petit
ton further states that since he
moved to Coeburn Dotson has
been claiming mileage to and
from Coeburn when attending
the meetings of the Board of Su-
pervisors.

Child Dies After
Chewing Sprig of
Poisonous Plant

Glenna Dean, four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jess
Browning of Baden, died in the
Dickinson County Hospital Mon
day. A short time before her
death, the child was brought to
the hospital unconscious and in
commissions. Suspecting poison,
DR.. Phipps pumped the child's
stomach, getting from it a sprig
or two of green plant.
Mrs. Browning said that she
found Glenna Dean eating pieces
of a green plant on the lawn Of
the Browning home. The sprigs
were identified as tansy. Medical
authorities state that oil from
this plant has caused death, after
two to four hours of unconscious
ness and commissions.
There are said to be several va
rieties Of this plant native to this
section. One variety of tansy is
said to be an ingredient of pat
ent medicine. Some of the older
people in this section say that
tansy was once used as home
remedy. After the plant was boil
ed in water, the liquid from it
was taken in small doses as lax
alive.
Funeral services were held at
the home Wednesday, with bur-
ial following in the family ceme-
terry.

OF
All
Things!
BY E. r. B.

Andrew Jackson in his haste
declared more than a hundred
years ago that he had never seen
a Kentuckian without a rifle, q
pack of cards and bottle OF
whiskey. "Old Hickory" was, now
and then, given to judgments
that srnacked more of prejudice
than of wisdom. The Kentuckian,
as q rule, like our own selves, put
away the trappings of a rude from
tier. But some of our local gent
leInen of fortune and sporting
blood have lately learned that
Pike County produces some slick
operators.
There was that man Griffey
(probably local pronunciation
Of Griffith). He, according to
big Tom" Mullins, came into
these parts few weeks ago and
took the card-sharps of the COM
raunity to the cleaners in a great
way. He amused himself only
with the big-tiIne boys, whom he
taught how little they really
knew about manipulating the
pasteboards. He left for his home
in Pike County about $4,000 rich
er than when he came.
The latest. skin-ga1ne story
comes from BARLEY Branch, near
the town of Ghost Rock. Billing
themselves as coon hunters, three
sportiye citizens from Pike Coun
ty advertised great coon chase
Tor last Sunday. The owner of a
coon dog had to pay fee to en-
ter him In the contest. Prizes
were to be given the winners. 1t
was all in merry sport, they said,
and for the upbuilding Of the
noblest Of recreations.
It Is known to one and all that
many Of our citizens set high val
ues on their coon dogs, each feel
ing in his heart that his own
hound is the best Of the lot. From
all the hills and out Of the hoI-
lows, the sportsmen came + o r
miles around. There was no lack
Of entries in the chase. and the
fees piled high and made a size
able stack OF money.
The master Of the hounds spoke
to the assembled multitude, say
ing that his helpers had gone
down the branch ways to let
loose the coon. At given signal,
the owners would release their
hounds. With beating hearts the
great host and majority" Of
sportsmen waited. At last, h 9
signal came, the dogs were loosed
and the great hunt was on. Soon
a meiodious yelp sounded, and
the wohle pack gave out with
young thunder. Along ravine and
steep mountainside, the chase led
on. Old Rock, old Storm, old
Drive, old Lead and many other
dogs, as yet unknown to fame,
filled the air with the music of
their believing. At last, eager
barking told the assembly that a
dog had freed the coon.
n n ~
Two hounds from Pike County
were barking up a tree. Though
no coon was in the branches, it
was reasoned that he had leaped
into a bush that overhung cliff
and had then gone to safety over
the crag. The Kentuckians took
the prizes. They went rnerrily on
their way, with more than $500

WANNA SKATE! COOPERATE!

Juneau kiddies will have a place to skate soon, providing the cold weather holds up and they refrain from throwing rocks and other debris in site now being flooded for a skating pond, Mayor Wainc Hendrickson said today.
 The City received permission from the Juneau School Board to flood a portion of the new school site near the Juneau Dairy for skating. It is being flooded gradually in order to build up good ice. Tt is impossible for the place to be po- Heed every minute and if the kids want place to skate. it would help if they'd cooperate" Hendrickson stated.
