Forest Festival at
Elkins Is Set
For October 7, 8, 9

What originally was intended to
be but homecoming" for Elkins
and Randolph county in West Vir-
ginia has grown into one of West
Virginia's greatest festive gather
ings and celebrations-the 18th
Annual Mountain State Forest
Festival.
Again, the Festival, as from its
inception in 1890, will be celc-
brated in Elkins.
This years Festival, scheduled
for October 7, s and 9, will give a
giant welcome to Fall and its off
spring, the luxuriant, colored foli-
age. 1t has been held annually, ex-
cept for seven years during World
War ii and the early postwar
period.
The coronation of Betty Jane
Vinson, of Huntington, West Vir-
ginia, as Queen Silva XVIII by
Governor William C. Marland will
highlight the festivities. Miss Vim
son will reign over court of some
80 Festival princesses representing
all sections of West Virginia, and
chosen by high State and National
| Government officials.
In addition to the coronation and
the exhibits, visitors will have a
chance to enjoy the plug and fly
casting contest, model airplane
meet, official State championship
baton twirling contest, Royal For
est Ball, State woodchopping anC
saving contest, archery contest,
street carnival, conducted tours OF
scenic forest areas and historic
spots, parades and a pageant.
An intriguing event during this
splendid Autumn Festival is the
ring tournament or joust, featuring
the Knights of the South Brancf
Valley. A direct throwback to the
Medieval era, the joust has founo
much popularity at the Forest
Festival, the State Fair and in the
Eastern Panhandle, generally.

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 9.-Twelve
silent witnesses, who refused to
answer questions concerning
communistic activity, today
faced terms of q year in jail
each, but another made a "full
disclosure" and had his case dis
missed.
Circuit Judge George E. Holt
pronounced the sentences yes

jury on September %.
Three others had their cases
continued for them to show
cause why they should not so to
Jail, and one other person under
citation asked for and was
granted another appearance be-
fore the grand jury.
Meanwhile, Judge Holt cited
the Rev. Joseph Barth, pastor OF
the First Unitarian Church OF
Miami, and the church's execu-
tive secretary, Miss Helen F,
Williams. for contempt Of court
because they filed affidavits OF
prejudice against the judge In
one Of the cases.

conclusive-and polls have been

seemed to indicate that the gap
between the two candidates has
been considerably closed.
Both sides are throwing their
heaviest artillery into this Cali

Strife Has Hurt Democrats.
The Democrats in California
have suffered from party strife in
recent years. Even today, despite
all the efforts of National Chair
man Stephen A. Mitchell and
party leaders within the State
to get the factions to lie down
together in peace, there are riffs.
Mrs. Elizabeth Snyder. the DEM
ocratic State chairman - first
woman to hold such a post in
California - has her enemies
within the party. She belongs
to the old Roosevelt faction
which supported Jimmy" Roose-
velt for State chairman, national
committeeman and for the gub-
ernatorial nomination.
The Republicans seem more
solidly together.
