them.
The international Tuna
Matches at Wedgeport. Nova
Scotia, last week were a great dis
appointment as there practically
were no fish on the rips to be
caught. The hurricane which
swept up the. coast just prior to
the match drove all the bait fish
off shore and the tuna went with
them. Only eight fish were caught
during the three-day tournament
as against 70 last year. The
Chilean team, in the contest for
the first time. was winner.

HIGH TIDES FOR WASHINGTON

High Schools clustered
BY Ruling Of Board
Of Education

A new ruling of the State
Board of Education is causing
some concern in the high school
circles of Dickinson County. The
State Board has ruled that a
high school to be on the accredit
ed list must offer at least thirty
units including two in the fine
arts, before the close CT the 1852
SO session.
1t is understood that the Clint
wood high school has at this time
the required number OF units but
that it is lacking in the fine arts
courses.
The new requirement will in
all probability cause the discon-
tinuance of one high school in
the county, it is said The add
ton of courses at two other
schools will be necessary. The
fine arts courses will probably
entail a greater expense in the
operation of the schools.
A pupil must have completed
-16 units for graduation, but the
high school cannot be accredited
unless it offers a total of thirty
units from which the pupil may
select the required number.

Ervinton Game Club
Gives Account Of
Accomplishments

The Ervinton Sportsman's Club,
with headquarters at Nora, recent
ly issued a detailed statement of
the accomplishments of the club
since its formation one year ago,
which is quite impressive.
The club lists 337 paid up mem

the state. The club had in its
terasury during the year $870.83,
received from membership dues,
donations and otherwise. The

expended for worthy causes, like
the purchase of ii coons and
transportation charges and the
like, leaving a net balance OF
$49010.
During the past year, Caleb
Sutherland served as president
and Buster Amburgey as secre-
tary-treasurer. Also, during the
year the club succeeded in hav-
ing special game warden APP
pointed in that section. This Off

ing the fall out of the county dog
find. The Ervinton club will pay
him for any and all additional
services as he is needed.

Early December
Shows Had Little
Effect on Wildlife

According to director of the
Virginia Commission of Game
and Inland Fisheries, the early
season snow storms that blanket
ed the Blue Ridge and Southwest
Virginia, did not remain on the
ground long enough to have had
any detrimental effect on h e
wildlfe population of that region.
Bird feeding was not resorted
to by the Commission, since
some natural food was still avail
able to carry the population
through the critical period
Under ordinary circumstances,
artificially supplying feed for
quail and other game birds is not
considered good management by
the Commission, but with h e
steady disappearance of natural
food and cover in the western
areas of the state because of in
cerased pastuarge for stock rails
ing, some feeling in these areas
may be necessary during protrac
ted periods of heavy snow.

WADDELL TWINS
IMPORT CHRISTMAS
TREES FROM RUSSELL

The famed Waddell Twins, Jer

rushing business in Christmas
trees. They hitch-hike to Parson-

they cut a dozen or more small

to another truck and eventually
land in Clintwood. Here they
find ready sale for the ever

PRISON SENTENCES
TOTAL 100 YEARS

Penitentiary sentences in the
amount of 100 years were dealt
to offenders in the circuit court
of Dickinson County during the
year of 1850. A total of rs persons
drew an average sentence of four
years each. A search of records
shows that this year was one of
the hardest in county history on
those who came before the court.
The convictions were about
equally distributed between the
first three terms of court and
tapered sharply at the last term,

May Elder Dan find many

And in them find and put some

it straight
To change Shakespeare a bit,

May he live to open mines, build
houses and lay bridges;
And may he weave from thinnest
air thousand more stories.
May this Christmas bring peace
and JOY to Elder Greed Flem-

And may he learn to repeat more
good tales and preach a
thousand fine sermons.
May next year make old Fred the
champ,
Cause him to rise above both Bob

May Victor learn to walk in bet

But more than all, across three

I send a mighty hail to Tim;
Of all my friends, I love him

And prize his love the most.
May all the kids like him win

When peace shall lie like lane

And men shall study war no

ed is the man that walketh not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the
Lord; and in his law doth he medi-
tate day and night. A Bible cita-
tion from the Lesson-Sermon is:
I John 4:12, 13, 16, II. No man
hath seen God at any time. If we
love one another, God dwelleth in
us, and his love is perfected in us.
Hereby know we that we dwell in
him, and he in us, because he hath
given us of his Spirit. =. And we
have known and believed the love
that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwell
eth in God, and God in him. Here
in is our love made perfect, that
we may have boldness in the day
of Judgment: because as he is, SO
are we in this world. A correlative
passage from the textbook "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
is: (p 470:3s6). Man is the ex-
preston of Gods being. If there
ever was a moment when man did

not express the divine perfection,
then there was a moment when
man did not express God, and con-
time when Deity was
unexpressed-that is, without en-
tity. -. The Science of being
furnishes the rule of perfection,

but in the order of divine Science
God and man coexist and are
eternal. God is the parent Mind
