j. L. Parker, resident engineer.
M. G. Lyell, Safety Engineer,
gave a most interesting talk. His
first remark was, to maintain
such an excellent safety record,
it has to be the individual. Lyell
stated there are four important
things towards maintaining a
good safety record rest, think,
calmneSs and good supervision
H. H. Allen, crushing plant
supervisor, gave a talk on the
careful operation of equipment;
little things that come naturally
out are otter overlooked.
j. H. Phillips, district engi-
neer, gave a short talk on train
ing personnel, not only from a
safety standpoint, but also to pre-
pare for promotion. He then pre-
sented the residency personnel

worked tw Give tl2) months
through April without lost
time accident.

presented without accident to self,
men or equipment awards by
Phillips:

SKI
TRAILS
By ROBERT B. RYAN

There was no Ski Trails last
week as the copy was stuck in
one Of the 30-foot snow drifts
which parslyzed communica-
tons throughout the Ale
ghenieS.
The same storm brought
superb skiing to nearby ski
areas-skiing which has not
been duplicated in many q
year. More snow and continued
cold made last week end the
best Of the year.
Southern skiing, always more
or less a paradox. suffered from
an embarrassing surplus of snow
on the Washington's Birthday
week end as a blizzard and
massive drifts shut down all
trans-Appalachian routes from
the Homestead north to the
New York Thruway, bringing
Joy to those skiers who could
get through and something less
than happiness to stranded
motorists and highway crews.
I should like to doff a bat
tered ski-cap to the highway
crews Of West Virginia for the
superb job they have done in
clearing the roads of their
State. Huge rotary plows,
throwing plumes of snow into
the air, were constantly on the
job for a solid week, battling
the drifts which, by actual
measurement, exceeded 80 feet
at many locations.
AS my little wagon clawed its
way up the Allegheny Front,
the sight of the winking blue
lights Of the rotaries was a
constant reminder that the
Mountain State can handle its
roads as well as Colorado OF
Washington. and, in my opin-
ion, better than New Hamp-
shire or Vermont.
| Whenever main east west
routes are blocked, skiers can
reach Cabin Mountain and
Davis, w. Va, by the not-so-
well-known southern route"
This route, known for many
years to old Davis hands, oirers
an extremely scenic alternate
to U. S. so, and is more likely
to be open.
1t may be approached in two
ways. One, more popular, is to
take U. s. so or Virginia 7 tc
Winchester. Continue on U. s
so west for approximately IL
miles, then turn southwest or
Virginia West Virginia 259
Follow 259 over a scenic ridge
route down into Wardensville
to the junction with West Vir-
GINA SIS. (Or go to Front Royal
and take Virginia West Virginia

to Baker. thence west on IS to
the junction with U. s. 220 at
Moorefleld. w. Va. At Moore

fork Of the Potomac along a
beautiful gorge via West Vir-
ginia 4 and 20 At the striking
Seneca Rocks" formation. Join
U. S. 80 and turn west over the
Allegheny Front.
After passing the 3,4O0-foot
crest and descending into the
village of Hartman, turn north
on West Virginia 80 directly to
Cabin Mountain and the Ca
naan Valley or continue on to
Davis and Blackwater Falls
State Park.

OLYMPIC OUTLOOK
By RALPH c. CRAIG

The Winter Games are now
history and Russia again has
run away with top honors.
This is more remarkable
when you consider that 1852
was RuSsia's first entry in the
Winter Games and that it won
easily at Cortina in 1856.
How come? Where do we
stand2 Are the Russians better
athletes than we are?
Let's take the last question
first. Anyone who has had con-
tact with Russian athletes
shares my impression that
they are nice people-friendly,
good competitors, but certainly
no supermen. .
They have done so well, so
quickly, because an autocratic
form of government can pro-
duce results in a given field
much more quickly than a
democratic form. Programs
can be developed, money APP
propriated quickly for facili-
ties, and large masses OF
youngsters can be started in
training by official edict. In a
democracy it all takes more
time. Results come only after a
lot of individual decisions and
individual effort. 1t is a much
more lengthy process.
4 y y
Will the end reSults-a su-
perior team in eight to twelve
years-be better in an autoc-
racy? I am sure that it won't
be, provided Americans who
are interested in sports show
the initiative, energy, and per-
sistence for which we have
been noted. That goes for
everyone interested-from the
kid who is just learning to
skate or to ski, up through the
men and women who must i'm
part the know-how and the
leaders who head up the ma
tional programs.
Let's take a look at our ath-
letes at Souaw Valley. Carol
HeisS, the first American Gold
Medal winner, is an excellent
example of the dedication to
her sport that is needed to get
up into international COMPETE
ton. Carol is still a college stu
dent. Her coach was fusSing
about the loss of practice time
due to her having to take ex-
ans. She is a thoroughly nice
girl. The story of her long
hours of practice-worked into
Ia full school programs an
interesting one.

We have never had a good
woman speed skater in this
country. Yet with the Olynpics
in our own back yard we pro-
duced a surprise bronze medal
winner in blonde Jeanne Ash
worth, a senior at Tufts Col
lege. Her ambition was: II just
wanted to beat a Russian. That

was my goal" The Russians
were the worlds best, and
Jeanne was aiming high. She
did beat the Russian world
record holder and Miss Rylova,
who had been considered the
favorite to win.
Penny Pitou is a good ex-
ample in skiing. She took Sec
ond in two Of the three Alpine
(downhilD events. Years of
work paid of for Dave Jenkins,
who won the mems figure skat-
ing.
So
These young people show
that Americans have the stuff
to do well. To date we have
been lacking in organization
and in leadership. in the gov
erning bodies in our winter
sports.
We certainly have plenty of
ability in those fields. Take
Alex Cushing, who took Squaw
Valley as a mountain meadow
a very few years ago and by
sheer persistence brought the
Olympic Games to this country.
Squaw Valley provided a
fabulous setting which even
the severcst critics wound UP
praiSing.
Let's hope that we can get
some of that kind of spirit into
the programs for our winter
sports throughout the Nation.
I am sure that the kids who
watched the games on televis-
ion have the spirit and the
ability. Are we going to provide
them with the facilities and the
leadership?
