can know how I feel about h e
matter. l can't stay in the bath

appear to me that the law might

That is what they're for, or could
it be that they go home when

If parents can't get their boys

be more comfortable there than

some of the officers of the town
would take the time and trouble
to investigate.
Once before there appeared on
the front page of one Of the local
papers headline article about
the gambling at the Bath House

In the February % issue of

The word casino is a noun,
meaning a room or building fol
public resort and diversion. l
happen to be the manager of the
bath house and have done my
utmost to run it for the sole p'Ir
pose of accommodating the miners
with a place to battle. However,

that the bath house has been US

Il do? They don't only loiter, they
steal the light bulbs and they
evidently are unacustomed to a
modern rest room, because they
seldom use the one provided,
which makes it very hard to keep
the place decent for the miners
who pay to bathe. My water bill
was $4,000 last month, and since
there hasn't been much work ex

WISE COUNTY TO HAVE
AN AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY

Wise County is to have this
year an agricultural survey by
some agency representing h e
state and federal governments.
The survey will try to find what
crops could profitably be grown,
what kinds of animal farming
would pay, and what markets
could be reached. That stidy will
help Wise County in the future
when the coal business declines.
Such study would help the future
of Dickinson County.
:; .
How does Wise get this, and
many other advantages, that new
er come to Dickinson? The ans
wer is as plain as a fence rail.
The county officials, the board
of supervisors and the county
agencies in Wise go after these
opportunities, and they are help
ed by the civic organizations. We,
here in Dickinson, rarely know
what to ask for, rarely ask any
way, and rarely receive. We most
ly just call on heaven to witness
how neglected we are.

There is only so much coal I'M

ably has been located and map
ped. 1t will be taken out, faster
and faster, from this time on. Ma
chinery will attend to that. There
are, of course, some deeper under
ground seams than those now be
ing mined. Probably, by the time
this coal is mined, machinery will
do more of the work and differ
ent kind of mining viii call for
new skills.
Other fuels, such as natural
gas and oil, are being used more
and more. They are less bulky,
are cleaner to use, and involve
less drudgery on the household
A natural gas line now runs
through the Kentucky coalfields;
gas from Ohio is heating some of
the homes in the Jenkins area.
Some homes in Clintwood have
put in oil heating. AS the use of
electric power is extended and
becomes cheaper, it will take over
some Of the heating jobs.
No community can depend on
coal for a future of more than
one generation Mining takes a
heavy toll from the human sys-
tenn in stiffened joints and mus
cles. 1t also fixes HABITS of life.
When one follows mining for
many years, he is just about un-
fitted for any other occupation.
The young men of this cornInun-
ity should shun the mines be-
cause they do not offer a perrnan
ent future.

the driver swung toward the curb,

 The Az alarm was sounded at 11:25 pm. when shouts of an rn- identified passer-by told firemen in the hall of the blaze. The tele- phoned alarm by Dimatteo reached the fire hall few seconds later Dimatteo said he reused the occu- pants of the building after phoning in the alarm.
 One fireman, Walt McKinnon. was injured when he fell while fighting the blaze. He was treated at the fire hall for cuts on one hand and returned to the scene of the fire.
 The clothing carried by the occu- pants of the building from their apartments was piled on the bill- side above the smoking structure. One woman tenant sat on the steps above the building rocking her sleeping infant in her arms.
