The happy kids pictured above have a twofold reason for enjoying
their yaeatiGntime leisure The small pram they've just beached for
this summer and they know the satisfaction of having built it them
selves. It's q versatile little craft, going well under sail, cupboard
motor or oarpower, and is ideal for fishing. And they don't have to
live on q lake to enjoy it, because it fits neatly on top of the car
and is light enough to be handled easily. A ChrisCraft kit boat, it's
inexpensive and can be assembled easily in 8 to 10 hours with simple
household tools. No experience is necessary.
For more ambitious wouldbe sailors, a larger, famly-size cupboard
kit boat is also available, taking about 48 hours to assemble. Recog-
nlzlng a growing interest in boating, boat manufacturers are doing
their best to make it possible for the kids and grown folks of America
to enjoy the countrys many lakes and rivers.

Chances Remote For
County To Get A
Highway Commissioner

Apparently Dickinson County
need not work up any tempera-
trre over the possible appoint
ment of member of the Virgin
la Highway Commission from the
Bristol District.
In all probability such appoint
ment will not be made until 1852.
j B Wampler received a reap
pointment in 1948. The term of
office is four years. A pol
itican rarely resigns a position Of
prominence and influence. AL
though the honorable duck" is
supposed to have left the straight
and narrow organization path In
the primary Of l949, summary
removal by the governor is hard
ly in the cards. The citizens of
this county may, therefore, give
their hopes and fears a rest for
another two years.

Fewer Forest Fires In
County During
Past Year

The Bristol office of the Virgin
ia Forest Service stated that %
forest fires burned 1874 acres in
Dickinson County during the
year 1949 According to investi-
cation made by the district fire
chief and Forest Warden J. w,
Rose, all fires could have been
prevented IF all persons in the
county had been extra careful
when smoking, burning brush or
sedge or using fire in amy way
in or near the forest.
Nearly all fires burned on dry,
windy days during the spring and
fail when the leaves and woods
were very dry. Brush and debris
burning caused over 40 per cent
of the fires during the spring
months. Careless hunters and
smokers were responsible for
more than half of all fires that
burned during the fall season.
The Virginia Forest Service
and Chief Forest Warden Rose
wish to express appreciation to
everyone that has helped to pre-
vent and suppress forest fires in
this county, for it is only through
full cooperation by everyone that
the great loss from fires can be
stopped,

Water Rates Increased
In ClintWood Jan. l

Beginning on the first of Janu-
airy, water rates in Clintwood
were increased, according to
Charles S. Perkins, one of the
water commissioners.
The increase in rates, Perkins
said, has been made necessary in
order to meet payments and in
terest on the water bonds in the
amount of 100000, voted June,
l948. The amount of the increase
was not given, but it will be re-
Elected on the next water bills.
According to the same source,
unexpected high costs of con-
struction make it impossible to
extend the system into several
areas included in the original
survey, resulting in the loss Of
100 potential customers.
Water mains and tanks are
now being installed by the Will
liams Construction Co. of Mari
on. One tank is on the old school
property on the hill above the
courthouse; the other is on knob
back of the Earl Baker home.
