Local Woman Has Wild
Ride Down Mountain
Road in West Virginia

MRS. Mack Allen, of Mohawk,
w. Va, daughter of Columbus
Viers of Jakes Branch, writes the
following account of her expert
ence as car driver down a high
mountain in what might have
been a fatal affair recently.
Mrs. Allen was driving their
new car across a high mountain
with four other persons in the
car. AS they crossed the noun
tain and started down the steep
grade down the other side, start
ing to slow down for a curve, she
found the car out of control. The
car started gaining speed down
the mountain as it went on and
on. Tot Kennedy, a driver of a
heavy coal truck just ahead, no.
ticed the car coming at break
neck speed and he hastily drove
his truck into the ditch line and
watched the runaway car, pow
erless to help. Being holy and
devout man, he offered up pray
er for the occupants. Then he no.
ticed a l5-year old girl leap from
the speeding car and found that
she had sustained only a few
slight scratches. Mrs. Aliens hus
band was in the speeding car but
was too terror stricken to think
of helping. According to the 9TH
err occupants, Mr.. Allen bowed
his head and prayed.
Mrs. Allen finally stopped the
car at a wide place in the road
without any of the passengers be
ing hurt or the car damaged.
Only a few weeks before a load
Of coal miners crassing this same
mountain lost control of their car
and all jumped out and all were
more or less injured, one going
to a hospital for an indefinite
stay.
Mrs. Allen is said to be the only
driver to ever come off that noun
tain with a runaway car with
out anyone being hurt Or the car
not damaged,
Now Mrs. Allen is proudly ask
ing, "Who says woman can't
driver"

our country's flag and the Al
club flag on one side with the
UN flag and the All Club BAN
ner on the other. Exhibits of diff
ferent kinds of soil were placed
in glass jars and water poured
in to demonstrate the process Of

lowed out and filled with salt
and water to show the process OF
osmosis; that is, how water is abb
sorbed by plants or trees. A nina
ture forest was arranged nearby
with boughs of wood standing in
a sandpile. Imitation animals and
birds were placed among the sim
ulated trees. This was burned to
illustrate the devastation of for

minated by the All Club men,

County All Clubs

Day In Clintwood

Dickinson County's All Ache
vement Day program, originally
scheduled for Nov. 25, but post
poned because of the big snow
at that time, was held on Feb. 2
At this program the Tarpon Al
Club was presented with the
county banner for outstanding
accomplishments.
Tarpon is a wide-awake club
with good officers who have hae
a well planned program for each
meeting during the past year.
Every member learned to repeat
from memory the All Club
pledge and creed. A simple meth
cd of encouraging each member
to take part in the programs is
to take a vote at the end of the
meeting as to who has given the
best demonstration or talk with {.
bar of candy as the prize. A high
er percentage of completed re-
cords for 1850 was turned in by
Tarpon than by any other club in
the county.
Club activities are enlivened
by blackboard drawings and pos
tiers made by the club artist ana
by the songs brought back by
their leader and those members
who attended the All Club camp
at Hinton, w. Va, last summer
The leader also attended recrea-
ton and leadership training

places, always returning with
new ideas for club activities
The leader, James A. Baker, is
alert to every opportunity to train
the members in matters of COM
munity or civic importance, hence
this was the first club in h e
county to make a United Nations
flag. A paper one in colors was
first made, then cloth one for
the United Nations Day program
put on by the school. With funds
raised by pie suppers this club
paid for transportation for an all
day trip to Hungry Mother Park
last summer, supervised by the
leader. Another trip to some place
of interest is planned for the com
ing summer. The leader is so in
terested in the physical welfare
of the children that he has taken
a number of them to Norton or
Saturdays for dental attention
An unusual school and commun
ity program was put on at Christ
mas. Some weeks before a work
shop was set up in one of the
cloak rooms. A jig-saw was Sc
cured and the boys worked earn
estly cutting and making more
than 20 top airplanes from ply
wood. Painted bright reds and
yelloWs, these made as nice gifts
as any child could desire. Many
toys were also repaired and re-
painted to be used as gifts. The
girls brought outgrown clothing
OF good materials from which
they made aprons and skirts for
gifts. The training received from
the Home Demonstration Agent
as part of their All project work
stood the girls in good stead fo1
this work. BY Christmas more
than 80 articles had been made in
the school workshop. These were
nicely wrapped and placed under
the Christmas tree along with
more than a hundred "treat bags
of candy, nuts and fruits furnish
ed by the Tarpon School League
All members have given three
forestry programs, supplemented
by colored slides, during the year
Typical of these was the Arbol
Day Program on March 9.

The Calvary Methodist Church.
S. E. Front and Franklin streets.

The plans call for the rebuilding
on the corner where the old church
stood. The Still property which
stands next door, has been pur-
chased for the expanded new con-
struction. $4,000 is on hand from
insurance, the Still property is paid
Ior, and the Improvement program
balance of $4,000 which existed
when the church burned has been
entirely paid. The insurance, plus
the anticipated goal of 100000
will give a working capital of
S185,OOO for the new sanctuary and
education building.
The church will be completely
rebuilt, including sanctuary to seat
z8O, plus the choir, and an up-to-
date Church School building which
is completely departmentalized to
accommodate the growing school
numbering 921 in average attend
ance at the present time.

ed that the director of the cam
paign, the Reverend Albert S. Ad-

Methodist churches from coast to
coast. His services are furnished

ceptiOn of normal campaign ex-
penses. The Rev. Mr.. Jones added
that every dollar given by mem
bers and friends will go 1000 to
rebuilding.
