ONE LITTLE
WORD
AFTER
ANOTHER:
One of the
mest enjoyable
events I have
attended in re-
cent years was
the "Raoring
20's" weekend
held at Pipe-
stem Park Saturday week...
The party was attended by
more than 100 persons from
southern West Virginia, North
Caroline and Virginia and was
festured with a short floor show,
a Charleston contest and a prize
for the best costume of the
"flapper" era, that was won by
Mrs. Grady Caroer of Prince-
ton who wore a beautiful black,
lacy dress that was right in
style back in the 20's....Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Decker, Welch, Clif-
ford Shaver, Jr., and part-
ner Ararat, N.C. and Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Beasley, Beckley all
tied for first place in the Char-
leston contest.,.. Ken Gleason'd
Concord Commanders were
simply great for this occassion
as they played such old time
tunes as "Aint She Sweet",
"Jade", ."Begin The Beguine',
"I'm Forever Blowing
Bubbles", "Mack The Knife"
and many, many others... Their
repertoire also included pop-
ular modern numbers as well as
some rock and disco.
THE FLOOR SHOW CON.
sisted of two pretty high
schoolers from
Spanishburg, Pam Huffman
and Mary Rarick who danced
"The Charleston" in a most
professional 'manner wearing
cute costumes of the ers... They
also sang, gave a demonstrat-
ion of "ballin'-the-jack" that
included audience participation
in this oldtime favorite...Every-
one loved them, and a special.
thanks is due their teacher,
interest of all West Virginians
and this statement is for the
record: .... Anyone who has ever
known this writer is fully aware
that we ha. re never sacrificed
principle for politics. That is
why we are cheering for Mr.
Rockefeller at this stage of his
administration.

Governor that I can remember
was faced with as many pro-
blems at the beginning of his

with courage... Right off the bat

Then came the long coal strike
the strike of the N& W Rail-

ed the state's economy, and last
but not least there was the great
flood in several southern count-
ies....It seems to me that he is
getting the job done, and when
his' present term ends, I am
certain that most West Virgin-
fans will want him to serve for
another four years...Some have
called him a "carpet bag-

When "Seriff" was only age 6,
an outdoor Republican political
rally was being held in Forest
Hill....After the rally was under-
way, young Clyde was put on a
horse by his older brother, Dr.
Mark Dillon, and the youngster
almost ended the rally when he
rode the horse amidst the ass-
embled Republicans shouting
"Hooray for William Jennings
Bryan", and for the next
years his devotion for the party
founded by Thomas Jefferson
never answered... Franklin Del-
ano Roosevelet was one of his
idols, and at an early date he
predicted that Jay Rockefeller
would one day be West Vir-
ginia's governor.

.."SHERIFF", AS HE WAS
BEST known to his friends, was
born at Junt December 29,
1889. His pareflts were Rev. and
Mrs. Henry Dillon, and he be-
gan his career in that area as a
farmer and blacksmith. Due to
his enormous strength his rep-
utation spread in that later
profession as it was said:
"Clyde Dillon is the only one
who could shoe some of the
larger and unruly horses in the
county".... He first became act-
ively interested in politics in
1912 when he was named to
serve on the County's Dem-
ocratic Executive committee...
He was elected sheriff in 1924
and again in 1933 after a tough
campaign to become the first
man in the county ever to serve
two terms in this office... Dur-

Balanced Budget: Goal or Requirement?
Every American knows ments have requirements
the importance of operat-
ing on a balanced budget.
Those who spend more
than they earn may..soqn
find themselves without
personal belongings.
Many Americans are ask-
ing themselves, "If I have
to balance my budget, why
shouldn't the government
be forced to balance its
budget?"
There' is growing support
in some areas for a con-
stitutional amendment to
require the federal govern-
ment to balance its budget
every• year. While I am in
favor of a balanced budg-
et, such a constitutional
amendment could endanger
the nation's security and
economic health by its in-
herent inflexibility.
What would we do if a
severe economic downturn
developed, as it did in the
Great .Depression, throwing
thousands of Americans out
of work? A constitutional-
ly-required balanced budg-
et could prevent the federal
government from spending
the necessary funds to cre-
ate job programs to coun-
teract high unemployment.
An international crisis
could also develop that
might call for extraordi-
nary defense or security ex-
penses -- expenses that
might unbalance the budg-
et.
A constitutional amend-
merit, once it is passed, is
.nTlcult and time-consum-
ing to alter. In times of
crisis and rapid economic
fluctuation, Congress must
not be straitjacketed by an
infle:-!ble constitutional re-
quirement.
Many people point out
. that several state govern-
for balanced budgets. How-
ever, state governments do
not have such responsibili-
ties as national defense
and security. Secondly,
many states have two budg-
ets; one for government
operating expenses, which
must balance, and one for
capital outlay or construc-
tion projects, which need
not balance. The federal
government, of course, does
not operate in the same
manner.
A federal balanced budg-
et is the right direction to
move in now for many rea-
sons. In our battle to con-
trol inflation, a balanced
budget demonstrates to all
segments of the economy
that the federal govern-
ment is willing to cut
spending. By setting an
example, the government
helps moderate wage and
price demands.
Congress is already pur-
suing such a course. Last
year, Congress cut the
President's projected $60.5
billion budget deficit to
$38.8 billion, a savings of
$21.7 billion. The 96th Con-
gress will, no doubt, con-
tinue to practice fiscal re-
straint balanced by social
responsibility.
A balanced budget ought
to remain a goal, not a re-
quirement. Indeed, Con-
gress may achieve that
goal as early as 1981, if
spending restraint con-
tinues and economic condi-
tions permit. But, Congress
should not be wrapped in
the chains of a constitu-
tional amendment for a
balanced budget, when
faced with times of eco-
nomic and political uncer-
tainties.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
Age is a factor in getting
common colds. Children be-
tween two and six usually get
more colds, have them longer
and develop more compli-
cations than older youngsters.
After th.e age of six, the
frequency and severity/ of
colds lessen.
Although many believe
colds result from exposure to
cold weather or chilling, some
studies suggest that the asso-
ciation with cold weather is
probably due to children
crowding together indoors at
this time, causing more effi-
cient transmission of cold
viruses from child to child.
...that retreaded tires can
be sold at about half of the
price of a new tire because 70
percent of the cost of a tire
is in its casing, which is re-
cycled through retreading?
...that it takes seven gal-
lons of crude oil to produce
the average new automobile
tire but only two and a half
gallons to retread one? At
that rate the more than 30
million retreaded •tires sold
in one recent year saved 135
million gallons of crude oil. •

gan his career in that area as a
farmer and blacksmith. Due to
his enormous strength his rep-
utation spread in that later
profession as it was said:
"Clyde Dillon is the only one
who could shoe some of the
larger and unruly horses in the
county".... He first became act-
ively interested in politics in
1912 when he was named to
serve on the County's Dem-

He was elected sheriff in 1924

campaign to become the first

he headed the county's WPA for
a couple of years, and also
served as County Road Super-
visor from 1941 to 1958...His
ability as a political analysist
and organizer became widely
known, and there were few
democratic political candidates
from constable to president that
didn't seek his advice and sup.
port....As a political speech
maker he had few equals, and
due to a speech impediment he
held the attention of his aud-

sincere fervor that always
brought loud cheers from his
partisan audiences.

ages from it fluently...I first
met "Sheriff" as a young re-
porter for this newspaper, and
we formed a friendship that
continued until his death. I
respected his counsel and al-
ways enjoyed talking to him
about the early history of the
county and its people as there ed in early spring, and from
were few here that he didn't that point on Route 20 to the
know- Yes, an era in this Mercer Countyline...Iftheleg-
county's history ended with the islature should repeal the 55
death of "Sheriff" Dillon- a man miles speed limit in the state as

Balanced Budget: Goal or Requirement?
Every American knows ments have requirements
the importance of operat-
ing on a balanced budget.
Those who spend more
than they earn may..soqn
find themselves without
personal belongings.
Many Americans are ask-
ing themselves, "If I have
to balance my budget, why
shouldn't the government
be forced to balance its
budget?"
There' is growing support
in some areas for a con-
stitutional amendment to
require the federal govern-
ment to balance its budget
every• year. While I am in
favor of a balanced budg-
et, such a constitutional
amendment could endanger
the nation's security and
economic health by its in-
herent inflexibility.
What would we do if a
severe economic downturn
developed, as it did in the
Great .Depression, throwing
thousands of Americans out
of work? A constitutional-
ly-required balanced budg-
et could prevent the federal
government from spending
the necessary funds to cre-
ate job programs to coun-
teract high unemployment.
An international crisis
could also develop that
might call for extraordi-
nary defense or security ex-
penses -- expenses that
might unbalance the budg-
et.
A constitutional amend-
merit, once it is passed, is
.nTlcult and time-consum-
ing to alter. In times of
crisis and rapid economic
fluctuation, Congress must
not be straitjacketed by an
infle:-!ble constitutional re-
quirement.
Many people point out
. that several state govern-
for balanced budgets. How-
ever, state governments do
not have such responsibili-
ties as national defense
and security. Secondly,
many states have two budg-
ets; one for government
operating expenses, which
must balance, and one for
capital outlay or construc-
tion projects, which need
not balance. The federal
government, of course, does
not operate in the same
manner.
A federal balanced budg-
et is the right direction to
move in now for many rea-
sons. In our battle to con-
trol inflation, a balanced
budget demonstrates to all
segments of the economy
that the federal govern-
ment is willing to cut
spending. By setting an
example, the government
helps moderate wage and
price demands.
Congress is already pur-
suing such a course. Last
year, Congress cut the
President's projected $60.5
billion budget deficit to
$38.8 billion, a savings of
$21.7 billion. The 96th Con-
gress will, no doubt, con-
tinue to practice fiscal re-
straint balanced by social
responsibility.
A balanced budget ought
to remain a goal, not a re-
quirement. Indeed, Con-
gress may achieve that
goal as early as 1981, if
spending restraint con-
tinues and economic condi-
tions permit. But, Congress
should not be wrapped in
the chains of a constitu-
tional amendment for a
balanced budget, when
faced with times of eco-
nomic and political uncer-
tainties.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
Age is a factor in getting
common colds. Children be-
tween two and six usually get
more colds, have them longer
and develop more compli-
cations than older youngsters.
After th.e age of six, the
frequency and severity/ of
colds lessen.
Although many believe
colds result from exposure to
cold weather or chilling, some
studies suggest that the asso-
ciation with cold weather is
probably due to children
crowding together indoors at
this time, causing more effi-
cient transmission of cold
viruses from child to child.
...that retreaded tires can
be sold at about half of the
price of a new tire because 70
percent of the cost of a tire
is in its casing, which is re-
cycled through retreading?
...that it takes seven gal-
lons of crude oil to produce
the average new automobile
tire but only two and a half
gallons to retread one? At
that rate the more than 30
million retreaded •tires sold
in one recent year saved 135
million gallons of crude oil. •
...that drivers in the Baja
500 and Pikes Peak auto races
successfully used retreaded
tires?
