Mcclure Road Camp
Force and Prisoners
Changed

The convict camp at Mcclure
finds itself with an entirely new
force this week. Within the week
the prisoners and staff of the Nc
Clure camp were moved to Ru-
raj Retreat in Wythe County. The
force in the Pennington Gap
camp was moved to Mcclure.
There is only one exception to
the wholesale movement, Ballard
Vanover, guard, found way o.
being returned to the Mcclure
camp.
The prisoners at Mcclure are
all colored. There were simply
too many breaks among t h G
whites. The colored man, it is
said, rarely attempts to get away
and in addition Negros would
find the going tougher in the
mountain.

Southwest Virginia
Sportsmen Find Good
Hunting

Richmond, Dec. 4-Hunters
bagged 2,253 deer west of the
Blue Ridge mountains during the
hunting season ending Nov. o.,
an all-time high for Virginia, I.
T. Quinn, executive director of
the Commission of Game and In
land Fisheries, reported today.
The previous record for h e
area west of the Blue Ridge was
set last year when hunters killed
1858 deer.
In addition, 48 bears have been
killed SO far in the region west of
the Blue Ridge. The bear hunting
season closes January S.
No hunting totals for the area
east of the Blue Ridge have been
obtained by the game commission
because the season there does not
end until January S.

SCHOOL BOND
ADVOCATES WAGE
HARD CAMPAIGN

Advocates of the school bond
issue are putting on a vigorous
campaign that will continue
through next Monday.
Daily letters are going out to
the parents of all high school
children. Speakers are talking to
local groups through the length
and breadth of the county. The
campaign will come to a climax
next Monday when the Dicken-
son Memorial High School band
will tour the four centers of Hay
81, Clinchco, Nora and Clintwood.
The local high school students
will parade through Clintwood on
election day., next Tuesday.
Whooping it up in booster style
for the bond issue.
There is speculation that the
weather may play decisive part
in the outcome. If the day is
marked by bad weather, the vote
in the outlying precincts is ex-
pected to be small. The vote in
the towns, thought to be favor
able, will probably get to t h
polls, regardless of weather con-
ditions.

OF
All
Things!
BY E. R. B.

by Es H. ~
Radio reception seemed very
poor around Clintwood Tuesday.
A rumor was soon built up that
the government was jamming the
air waves because the news was
too tough for the people to hear.
Marve, desperately trying for
comeback as boss Of the South
Ward, is battling to carry that
bailiwick, one way or the other
in the coming bond election.
While his stand is not exactly
clear. he seems concerned about
the "iinitor" of the school build
ing. He boasts that he drove pee
Wee" Phillips from these parts
and vows that he will not rest un
til he has rid the community OF
Elder Dan Hawkins.

We hadn't known that Long
Tom" Mullins ever followed the
hobo's trail until he got to swap
ping yarns with Bicycle" Kelly
while they were holed Up during
the big snow. Wherever Bicycle
had been, Tom had been there
twice. While Kelly has done about
all his travel by motor vehicle,
Tom rode the rods and the box
cars. Bicycle has fed himself in
a genteel manner either at the
tables of the do-gooders or with
money he earned by casual labor;
Long Tom took potluck in the
hobo jungles or scrounged along
the streets. Travel is an occupa-
ton for Bicycle; for Tom, it was
an episode.
Tom took to the road, he says,
during the early days of the great
depression. Through 1881 and
1882, he toured the South and
West, riding freights with h e
gangs that infested them in those
days. When worn by travel, he
would drop off to rest in jun-
gle. A jungle, let us explain, was
hobo hangout, convenient to the
rails and to town where touch-
es were not too hard to make.

work in order to eat. He was dis

the last one, the people set their
dogs ON him. His long legs bare
ly carried him from reach of the
swapping fangs. Back in the jun
gle, he told his mates of the sor-
ry treatment he had received.
The other hoboes were indignant
that one of their profession had
been chased by dogs. They volun-
teered in body to take revenge
for the insult to their fraternity.
Tom led them to the home of the
offending ciizen, and there he

Apartment Strikers
Refuse Offer, But
Progress Is Reported
By Alton [. BlokesIee

NEW YORK, April 29.-Progress
was reported tonight in efforts to
settle Manhattan's strike Of 10000
apartment house employees.
The strike has marooned many
skyscraper dwellers without ele-
vator service.

Mediation Board.
He said another mediation ses-
sion would be held tomorrow.
Dwellers Become Shut-ins.
Meanwhile, many skyscraper
dwellers became shut-in cases for
the week END, rather than trudge
hundreds of steps to leave home
or get back.
Earlier in the day representa-
tives of 10000 striking porters,
ianitors, elevator operators and
other service men scornfully re-
jected the latest peace move by
the landlords.
Building owners had offered to
submit the wage dispute to an
arbitrator, providing any gains
won by the union were deferred
until landlords get relief from
rent freeze.
| Union Scorns Offers.
The AFL Building Service EN-
ployes union replied that land
lords must think us naive II
they seriously expected" the
union to accept such an offer.
AS the strike dragged through
its third day, garbage was pillng
up in some of the approximately
900 apartment houses affected.
Some were without heat. Mail lay
undelivered in lobbies. Grocery
and cleaning delivery boys baked
at climbing miles of stairs and
made deliveries to lower floors
only.
The strikers are demanding a
$2.75 weekly increase IN wages
which the union says now average
$45.5O to $50.32 per week. The
union also wants the 48-hour
week cut to 40 hours, and pen
sion plan.
Newly hired guards appeared at
many of the struck apartment
buildings today and checked all
persons entering.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Your
Adams Apple may become a
mirror of what age is doing to
you; how healthy you are staying.
1t already has been found to
be fairly good mirror of how
much your arteries are hardening.
This hardening is one of the
leading causes of death.
The studies are being made by
DR.. Gustave j. Noback. associate
professor of anatomy at Cornell
University medical college.
In childhood and youth, your
Adams Apple consists of carti-
lage or gristle. AS you grow older,
it slowly changes into bone
through deposits of calcium. FL
nally. at about rs or 80, the whole
Adams Apple will be bone.
This change occurs In every

one. At 55. the Adams Apple is
about half bone. half gristle.
DR.. Noback traced the change
by X-rays of hundreds of living
people. The parts OF the Adams
Apple which have changed to
bone show up as white areas on
the X-ray picture.
When half of the Adams Apple
has changed to bone. there's a
very good chance that your ar
teries have started to harden, DR..
Noback discovered.
This was learned by autopsy
findings. comparing the degree
of ossification of the Adams
Apple with the appearance of
mineral deposits in the aorta, the
great artery leading from the
heart.
In 80 per cent of his cases, the
aorta had started to harden when
the Adams Apple was more than
half bone. Hardening of the aorta
is the first sign of hardening of
the arteries. They become less
