OF
All
Things!
By E. II. B.

Cecil Kiser came over from
Flat Top last Thursday to sell
some dogs, or rather to advertise
them for sale. He did not have
the dogs with him but brought
very high recommendations. For-
tunately, for him, Cecil did not
run into "Pappy Short" who is
greatly prejudiced against dog
trading.
Varions traders get set on diff
ferent things. Tom Mullins Says
that the traffic in guns is the
most profitable of all sidelines.
He usually has three or four on
hand and seems to be always on
the lookout for a deal. He knows
his artillery, too, and can clatter
of gauges, cahbers and other de-
tails like a machine gun.
Some swap pocket knives,
while others trade watches. Most
OF the genuine hillbilly trafficers,
however, take their greatest de-
light in the barter of livestock.
Go to one of their trade days"
and watch them come boiling out
of the highways and hedges. This
is one Of their days of glory, and
they throw themselves away. Not
only at these gatherings do they
trade, they are always ready to
make pass.
Note your traders and you will
find certain definite marks of
personality. They are outgoing
characters, with a ready glab
their self confidence is strong,
and their judgment is quick. High
ly competitive in spirit, they find
in their deals the same kind of
pleasure that many others find in
sports. One of your genuine tra-
ders always wants to say, Il got
leetle bit the best of him."
Withal, they are delightful fell
lows to watch and listen to, mer-
ry souls and entertaining, but
none of them would hesitate to
skin a best friend and then
laugh at him.
These fellows are past masters
in the use of words that have a
double meaning. Victor Hanover
tells of one who sold a COW to
Mrs Hanover. Before completing
the trade, the good lady asked if
the COW were gentle. "Just as gen
tie as a little dog" replied the
dealer. Came milking time, and
the COW kicked the milkhand and
the milkpail all over the lot. Well
some little dogs" are gentle,
while others are not. Probably, a.
court would have held that the
trader had deliberately practiced
deception, but Victor didn't want
to go to court on the issue, being
something of a trafficer himself.
= -
Junior (Bicycle) Kelly thinks
it worth line or two to relate
that he and his cousin in Wash
ington started on a Joy ride to
Baltimore and that his relative
had to py fine for speeding. We
have some doubts that this is ex-
actly news, but we put it in out
of Difference to Bicycles wishes.
Don't imagine that the balmy
weather at the weeks beginning
means that spring is here, There
are ten more SHOWS ahead of us
before winter gives way to spring.

Baden Soldier Helps
In Hungnam
Evacuation

KOREA, (Delayed)-Pfc. Billy
Elkins, 81, of Baden, Va, played
an important part in the evacua-
ton of troops from Hungnam,
North Korea, last stronghold
above the 38th parallel.
AS gunner in a Third Anti
Aircraft Battalion, his Mo tank,
mounting two 40 nm guns, was
in the "foxhole line" to engage
any enemy line that presented
itself.
The absence of enemy air ac-
tivity has caused this versatile
unit to be employed in ground &C
ton on more than one occasion in
Korea. 1t was part of task force
that was sent to the Chosin Res
ervoir to relieve encircled troops
in that area.

Servicemen May Vote
Without Paying Poll
Tax or Registering

Soldiers, sailors, and Marines
in the service of the United
States who have attained the age
of 81 years may vote in Virginia,
regardless of whether they have
registered or pail poll taxes
That was the substance Of an
opinion delivered by Attorney
General Almond Monday. He
gave the opinion in answer to a
request from Governor Battle.
The Attorney General stated that
an amendment to the state con-
stitution gave servicemen h e
right to vote, without complying
with the registration and poll tax
requirements, during time of
war. Technically, he said, the
U. S. is still at war with Ger
many and Japan, since no peace
treaty has been made He did not
mention the undeclared war now
being waged against the Chinese
in Korea.

SERVICES FOR
ANDY COUNTS
HELD SUNDAY

FREEZING, Feb. PA. j..
(Andy) Counts, 10, one Of h e
most upright and respected citi-
zens of this section, died Friday
evening at the home of his daugh
ter, Mrs. Universal Hodge, at
Clintwood, after an illness of sew
eral months.
He became critically ill about
two weeks ago and was taken to

up. His mother was a person of
great industry and courage and
she managed to bring up the two
children she was left with, but
how she managed to do SO in that

be hard for the present genera
ton to imagine.

ago and settled on a farm he had
previously acquired in this Sec
ton and lived there until his
death. He was a good farmer and

diate family. He is survived by
the wiodw and one son and one

Is It A Penguin?
(Contributed)

Is it a penguin or is it t h e
THING? You decide for yourself,
Mrs. Bessie Kennedy of Baden
bought hen about year ago
which has the characteristics, ex-
cepting size, of penguin. This
hen walks upright and in fact
does it as well as any hen with
her locomotion apparatus on the
level. Mrs. Kennedy says it is Of
ten difficult to catch her.
She does not roost on the poles
with the other chickens but
stands on the floor or lies on one
side when she desires change of
position.
She does not lay her eggs in
the nests but in the mud or wher
ever it is convenient. Her eggs are
extremely long compared to the
average hen egg. She is of the
white Barred Rock stock. Mrs,
Kennedy says that she is not de-
formed but seems normal and
weighs about eight pounds.
Several months ago this PEN
guin-hen was featured in Grit
Magazine, and of course, given
wide publicity.

The Self You Have TO Live With

The Self You Have TO Live With
In a famous diagnostic hospital
in the city of Boston, there has
been developed during recent
years very significant expert
ment in healing.
1t was discovered, in dealing
with thousands of patients who
manifested all kinds of symptoms
of physical ailments, that an
amazingly large percentage of
them really seemed to have moth
ing organically wrong with them
at all. Their basic difficulty was
not physical, in any real sense,
but was rather mental and emo
tional in nature. BY harborlng
the wrong kind of thoughts and
feelings, these people had, with
out realizing it, driven themselves
into condition of real illness.
And they could not be cured un-
til they we're willing to face the
real source of their trouble and
change their way of thinking.
Thus there was developed, as
an important part of the hospital
organization, a Thought Control
Clinic" where these patients, who
were really i'll, though organic
ally sound, received special treat
ment. The director of the clinic
is DR.. Winfred Rhoades, quiet
unassuming middle-aged gentle
man, who has had remarkable
success in helping people to re
gain their health and happiness
Fortunately, Dr. Rhoades has
written down much of his expert
ence and counsel in highly in
teresting and helpful book called
"The Self You Have To Live
With" l am sure that you viii
find it we'll worthwhile to read it
