Curbing cops' use
of deadly force
By VERNON E.
JORDAN JR.
Copley News Service
News reports of deaths and
serious injuries inflicted by
police officers on suspected
felons occur with depressing
regularity. Throughout the
1970s an average of almost
one person per day was slain
by police officers.
This is a festering sere that
undermines effective law
enforcement, subverts com-
munity cooperation with
police, and endangers the
lives of civilians, especially
those in minority groups.
Disproportionate numbers
of the victims of police use of
deadly force have been mi-
norities -- roughly half are
black and Hispanic. And
there is evidence that white
victims must often have been
armed and facing the officer,
while minority victims have
been unarmedand shot in the
.i ck while fleeing. :' :,'
. =In almost every case, ihe
officer doing the shooting has
been white. An examination
of deadly force in New York
City reveals that no black
officer has ever mistakenly
shot a white youth whom the
officer thought was armed.
The reverse though, has been
all too common.
Incidents have been piling
up in recent months. In
Texas, the Hispanic commu-
nity has demanded federal
investigation of persistent po-
lice abuses. Over the past
two years, 15 Hispanics have
been killed and there have
been more than 150 instances
of police brutality charged.
In New York, a policeman
shot and killed a 15-year-old
black youth whom he said
had pulled a gun on him.
Other officers present at the
scene testified it was not true
-- that the youth had not
threatened the officer. Until
the courts intervened, it
looked as if the officer would
be released from confine-
ment in a mental institution.
He was also trying to get a
disability pension.
At the very moment you
are reading these lines,
somewhere in the United
States a community is being
shaken by an incident of po-
lice use of deadly force w it
is that common an occu-
rence.
The pattern too, is pretty
well established. A killing is
followed by an investigation
which often clears the offi-
cer. If the case Is too blatant
to cover up, the officer may
he brought to trial, often on a
lesser charge. The case most
often ends with acquittal or,
at best, a very light sentence
which itself is often suspend-
ed.
Many police departments
are setting strict rules on the
use of weapons. But in many
cases the rules are flexible
enough to allSw continued
incidents, Even mild rules
are often fought by police
officers who charge they 'are
exposed to threats to their
own lives if they are not
given greater leeway in using
their own Judgment on the
use of firearms.
The police and the public
are captivated by the myth
' that policemen use their guns
because their own or other
people's lives are threatened,
or because they are trying to
capture a dangerous armed
criminal.
But the facts are other-
wise. The Police Foundation
studied seven major cities
over a two-year period. It
found no relation between po-
lice shootings and serious
crimes. In fact, about two-
fifths of the police shootings
occurred during routine traf-
fic stops and disturbance-of-
the-peace calls.
So self-defense Is no expla-
nation for the use of deadly
force, nor is the need to cap-
ture a dangerous criminal a
:Valid explanation for many
..::, ootlngs. Further, many in-
: cldents involve "off-duty, out-
of-uniform policemen.
The tlme for strict, univer-
sal standards on the use of
force and weapons is long
overdue. Where standards
have been applied, the num-
ber of incidents decreases. In
one city that barred officers
from shooting at juveniles
except In self-defense, the
number of police victims
nose-dived.
Policemen are law-
enforcers. Their duty is to
apprehend law-breakers. It is
up to the courts to punish,
within the limits set by the
law. When a policeman
shoots, or when he kills, he
becomes judge, jury and exe-
cutioner.
The Justice Department
should consider taking the
initiative by drafting a model
code for the use of firearms
that local forces should
adopt. And another positive
step would be to Increase the
number of minority officers.
Their very presence could
well serve to inhibit their
fellow-officers who are so
free with their weapons when
incidents involve black and
brown suspects.

Dressier
Mrs. Ruth (Holland) Buck-
land, who lives in Hinton, WV.,
is one of our pleasant neigh-
bors, who always has a friendly
smile for everyone. She and Mr.
Clair W. Buckland were united
in marriage at Catlettsburg,
Kentucky, December 23, 1948.
He was a yard brakeman for the
Chessie System in Hinton, and
promoted to yard conductor,
March 21; 1952. Mr. Buckland
died December 26, 1961. She told
me in our conversation that she
dearly loved to teach the school
children and since her retire-
ment seven years ago, she has
enjoyed every minute.
Mrs. Buckland was born at
True. W. Va., and later their
family moved to a farm on Elk.
Knob, which was on the road by
Keatley Springs. They lived on
this farm for thirteen years,
then they moved back to True.
They lived there two years, and
her father didn't care for this
farm, so he bought his old home
place, which is located a mile
above Sandstone, WV.
She remembers when she was
in the second grade at the
Pleasant View School on Elk
Knob Mountain. The school was
two and one- half miles from
their home, and during one
winter there came a deep snow
that drifted to great depths. Her
mother told her that she should-
n't try to walk the two and one-
half miles to school, because
she would be lost in those deep
snow drifts. Her father attemp-
ted to take her school on their
horse, but they hadn't travel-
ed far until the horse was
caught in a snow drift and
couldn't move. They had to
return home and Mrs. Buckland
said she cried all day, because
she loved to go to school, and
she didn't want to miss one
single day. '.
Mrs. Buckland received her
degree from Concord College,
and was studying at West Vir-
ginia University, when she was
involved in a car wreck, and
received a broken leg. She has
taught in many schools during
her thirty- six years as Prin-
ciple and School Teacher. She
taught at the Hix School two
terms, she also taught two
terms at the Rocky Bottom
School. She was teaching at the
Cross Roads School for four
years, and one term at the
Upland School.
She recalls an incident that
occured during her teaching at
one of these schools on Elk Knob
Mountain. She had forty- two
students enrolled, and they
were being taught in a one-
room school. Her classes in-
cluded the First Grade through
the Eighth Grade, also fifteen
Beginners, who were seated on
a long bench inf rent of the
classroom. This particular day
Mrs. Buckland was teaching the
beginners to draw. Mr. Gum, at
the Printing Shop in Hinton, had
given her a lot of pink and blue
construciton paper. This was
during the Depression Days,
and Mr. Gum was kind enough
to give the teachers a lot of the
scrap construciton paper. She
handed the blue and pink pap-
er to the little beginners, and
saying to them, "Now children,
we are going to draw today.
Won't that be nice! Please go to
your seats and begin to draw a
pretty picture." She said when
she handed the last pink sheet to
the little girl, who was sitting on
the end of the bench. The little
girl sat there and wouldn't go to
her seat. Suddenly, she scream-
ed and said, "Damn you, I'm
going home!" This shocked
Mrs. Buckland to hear this little
beginner talk that way, so she
thought, too, that maybe she
was mad because she didn't
receive the blue construciton
paper. She didn't want the child
to leave, because it was her first
daya t school, and her parents
would probably whip her for
leaving school. The little girl
ran from the building, and Mrs.
Buckland ran after her. She
finally persuaded her to return
to the class, but the little girl lay
on the floor, kicking and
screaming. The next day the
child came to school, and both
of her legs were bleeding from
the whiping her parents had
given her. Her older brothers
had told her parent@, what had
happened the day before. Mrs.
Buckland said that little girl
leanred to be a fine student, and
was one of her star pupils.
Mrs. Buckland said that her
father died when she was fourt-
een years of age, and their
family had a rough time making
. a living. She continued her
educaiton and earned a degree
to become a school teacher. She
was Principle at the Meadow
Creek School for four years, and
Principle at the Brooks School
for four years. She also taught
six years at the Bellepoint
School, and taught six years at
the Greenbrier School in Hin-
ton.
Her sister, Ms. Ruby Holland,
was also a school teacher, and
she taught Home Demonstrat-
ion, out of West Virginia Un-
iversity at Sutton, WV. She also
taught at Concord College.
Her baby sister, Ms. Hazel
Holland, married Mr. Denver
Wiseman, and they were bless-
ed with two children, whose
names are Ms. Paula Ann Wise-
man of Princeton, WV., who is a
teacher, and their son, Rever-
end Edward Dale Wiseman, of
Minnesota, who is a Methodist
Minister, and also a teacher.
Her brother, Reverend Paul
Holland, died seven years ago,
and he was a Primitive Bapt-
ist Minister. His two sons are
Mr. James HOlland, who is a
teacher, and now is the County
Agent for Greenbrier County of
West Virginia. His other son,
Mr. Connie Holland, is the fore-
man of Construction at Look-
out, WV. His three daughters
are Ms. Judy Holland and Ms.
Jo Ann Holland of Tennessee,
and Ms. Julia Holland of Cin-
cinnati, Ohio.
Mr.s Ruth Buclland told me
about an amusing incident that
happened at the Rocky Bottom
School . It was a very windy
day, and she was supervising
the children in the school yard
during recess, when the child-
ren returned to the one- room
school. One little boy named
"Chuck" raised his hand. Mrs.
Buckland asked him what was
his wish, and he said he want-
ed to borrow her comb. She
xplained tQ him that it wasn't
nice to use other people's comb.
He replied, "I want to comb
your hair, because the wind has
blown your hair so much that it
is sticking up like a rooster's
tail. " She gave him her comb,
and he walked up to her desk
and began combing her hair.
The chldren giggled and laugh-
ed, and after the had finished
combing Mrs. Buckland's hair,
he replied, "Now your hair
looks like something." He walk-
ed back to his seat.

Reliable Cost Estimates Are
Vital
A vital step in setting up
business is reliably estimating
the costs of doing business. An
entrepreneur must determine
fixed costs ( rent, utilities,
depreciation), direct costs (
labor, materials), indirect costs
(goods and services needed to
support the business), and gen-
eral and administrative costs.
Without this information, you
will not be able to price the,
goods or services you are sell-
ing.

Ke ole Mr. and M,
The only time some people
think about coal mining in
America is when something
goes wrong such as a strike, an
explosion or energy shortages.
But a growing number of
Americans realize that mining
and miners have played a key
role in the nation's past and will
play and even bigger role in its
future.
It's these people that George
Parkinson hopes to reach with
the West Virginia University
, Library's new "Guide to Coal.
Mining Collections in the United
States."
The 182- page guide, which
contains 926 entries, was com-
plied by Dr. Parkinson, curat-
or of the library's West Vir-
ginia Collection, with assistance
from history students Claire
Collier of Morgantown and Jos-
eph Preston of Lewisburg.
"The first two- thirds of the
guide include archives, manus-
cripts, photographs and film,"
Dr. Parkinson observed. "They
range in size from collections of
a few items to those that take up
hundreds of linear feet of space.
Items 589 through 926 are oral
histories."
The guide, funded by a grant
from the National Endowment
of the Humanities, was spons-
ored by the Coal Miners Re-
search Project, a consortium of
individuals and institutions in-
terested in preserving coal coll-
ections and in coal research.
According to Dr. Parkinson,
the guide augments a biblio-
graphy about "The Coal In-
dustry in America" that was
complied by Robert F. Munn,
WVU dean of library services.
"You could say the new guide
will serve as a companion vol-
ume to Dr. Munn's guide. His
includes the published material
on coal and mine the unpub-
lished material."
Dr. Parkinson said the idea
for the guide came in part form
a conference at Pennsylvania
State University at which part-
icipants sought a way "to stand-
ardize the reporting of mat-
erials, to work out a way to shar
this material and to develop a
means to fund futurept.0jects.,,
until publ|catiotl 0':,e new
guide, much of the material on
coal collections was relatively
inaccessible because it was coll-
ected in a variety of ways by
many people.
"Often there has been a dup-
lication of effort," Parkinson
said. "More frequently, these
collections are unknown to
many who have an interest in
them. We want to make these
materials accessible."
The guide includes informat-
ion on repositories which have
coal- related collections, a loc-
ater symbol index and sequ-
entially numbered collection
descriptions arranged alphabet-
ically by main entry," he said.
"There is a composite index
.which is based upon Dr. Munn
's 'The Coal Industry in Am-
erica." "What time means,"
Parkinson explained, "is that
you can look at the index and it
will refer you to a collection. It
gives you a brief description of
what it contains. Then you can
turn to the repository inform-
ation and get the telephone
number where the collection is
located. Within 15 minutes you
can find out if they have the
informaiton you need. Before
you could have spent hours and
perhaps still not find what you
needed."
The guide, based upon a mail
survey, is by no means com-
plete, he explained. It's major
weakness is a lack of inform-
ation on collections concerning
women, families and commun-
ity histories. Some material,
included in non- coal collect-
ions, was found only by acc-
ident.
"It reveals a general lack of
direction in acquiring coal- re-
lated collections," Dr. Parkin-
son noted. "However, our aim
simply was to find as many coal
collections as possible within a
reasonable period of time. We
look forward to doing a second
edition to include collections we
missed.
"At the same time we took
care to include the major coal-
related collections as well as
those repositories with a com-
mitment to acquire coal coll-
ections," he added. "It's like a
measure. Now we know where
we are and what the gaps are.
"We would appreciate receiv-
ing news of any coal- related
collection we've missed. Un-
like some guides, we make no
restriction on size-- any report,
no matter how brief, is better
than having none at all.

New Techniques Used
Thousands of lakes and ponds
around the country are grossly
polluted because of an over-
abundance of nutrients. They
are the victims of eutrophicat-
ion- the process in which lakes
become over- productive, fill
with decaying vegetation, and
eventually become marsh and
dry land. A report in the 2
February 1979 Science, the
weekly journal of the American
Associaiton for the Advance-
ment of Science (AAAS), des-
cribes the techniques now being
used to reverse and to prevent
this process.
Thomas H. Maugh, II Science
Reserach News writer, reports
that eutrophication, a natural
aging process, is accelerated by
increased amounts of nutrients
from septic tank drainage, fert-
ilizer runoff from fields and
lawns, and other by-preducts of
civilization. Current lake rest-
oration techniques include lim-
iting the flow of phosphorus and
other nutrients to the lake and
removing the nutrients that are
already there.
The most crucial element in
lake restoration is controlling
the flow of nutrients. Other
restoration techniques can have
little impact unless this is ach-
ieved. The greatest single acc-
omplishment towards this end
has been the reduction of phos-
phates in laundry detergents
and an increased emphasis on
the removal of phosphorus in
sewage treatments.
In most cases, however, lim-
iting the flow of nutrients along
cannot improve water quality
because the lake is already
overloaded. Techniques used in
these cases include diluting the
lake with low nutrient water,
harvesting aquatic plants and
fish, or using chemical preci-
pitants, agents that combine
with phosphates to form
"clumps' that settle to the
bottom. Chemicals used suc-
cessfully include alum and fly
ash. Fly ash is a waste pro-
duct from power plants and, if
the heavy metals it contains do
not prove to be toxic, this might
result in a double environ-
mental solution-- cleaning the
water while disposing of the
ash. The use of chemical pre-
cipitants has the added advan-
tage of covering the lake bottom
with enough material to prevent
nutrients from being released
from the sediment.
When the lake is extraord-
inarily polluted or when other
techniques are not practical,
the remaining alternative is to
remove nutrient- laden sedi-
ment by dredging. This is usu-
ally effective, but it can cause
problems by releasing soft part-
icles and nutrients previously
trapped in the sediment. Some
of these problems can be part-
ially solved by using newer
dredging equipment designed to
minimize re-suspending the
sediment.
Unfortunately, not all lake
restoration projects are succ-
essful. To understand why some
projects succeed while similar
ones fail, scientists, are coll-
ecting and analyzing data to
determine which factors influ-
ence the chances . for success.

Byrd's.Eye View
By U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd
Last year, Congress de-
regulated the airlines in-
dustry, in hopes of lower-
ing prices and curbg
inflation by increasing busi-
ness competition through a
free market.
Airline deregulation has
not fulfilled these expecta-
tions. Thus far, the experi-
ence with airline deregula-
tion has failed to inspire
confidence in lessening fed-
eral controls in other in-
dustries.
True, some airfares have
been reduced. But, the air-
lines have substituted their
own thicket of regulations,
restrictions, and require-
ments on "super-saver"
fares, limiting the number
of travelers who can take
advantage of the bargains.
As for the anti-inflation-
ary impact of deregulation,
the airlines raised their
regular fares 3.2 percent in
November 1978, and there
is a pending request for an-
other 4 percent increase.
Even more distressing is
the conduct of the airlines
in seeking to abandon or
reduce routes. Such reduc-
tions have a severe impact,
particularly on small and
medium-sized cities, which
need the prestige of a na-
tional carrier to encourage
economic growth. While
some cities have gained
more routes and better
service, more than 100
cities across the coun-
try face air service cut-
backs.
Since January, four air
service carriers have filed
requests with the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB)
to reduce or 'eliminate serv-
ice to four West Virginia
cities. United Airlines,

50 percent reduction in its.

tal; American Airlines has i} fore
requested to discontinue ! son
service to Chaiqeston, and i Mrl
Piedmont wants to cancel
service to Parkersburg. Al-
legheny has been granted
its proposal to allow its
subsidiary commuter serv-
ice, Aeromech, to take over
service to Clarksburg and
Morgantown.
I have been in frequent
touch with officials of.t se
airlines, the CAB, and lo-
cal leaders to help assure
that West Virginia retains
sufficient air service. In the
case of United, I, together
with Senator Randolph, i
have petitioned the CAB to :i:
keep United's service to
Charleston until it can be !
replaced by another car-
rier. United has agreed to ,
a thre-week extension of ,
its service through June.
The negative consequen-
ces of the loss of service to
these West Virginia cities
far outweigh the limited
benefits of reduced rates
for a few travelers.
Deregulation must be ac-
companied by a responsible
attitude on the part of the
deregulated industry. Serv-
ice industries, such as the
airlines, have an obligation
to act in the public inter-
est. What may be efficient
for the airlines, will not al-
ways be efficient for the
public. A proper balance
must be struck.
If those in business and
industry want deregulation,
they must be prepared to
act responsibly toward the
public. Without responsibil-
ity, deregulation will be an
idea whose time has come
--and gone.

officer doing the shooting has
been white. An examination
of deadly force in New York
City reveals that no black
officer has ever mistakenly
shot a white youth whom the
officer thought was armed.
The reverse though, has been
all too common.
Incidents have been piling
up in recent months. In
Texas, the Hispanic commu-
nity has demanded federal
investigation of persistent po-
lice abuses. Over the past
two years, 15 Hispanics have
been killed and there have
been more than 150 instances
of police brutality charged.
In New York, a policeman
shot and killed a 15-year-old
black youth whom he said
had pulled a gun on him.
Other officers present at the
scene testified it was not true
-- that the youth had not
threatened the officer. Until
the courts intervened, it
looked as if the officer would
be released from confine-
ment in a mental institution.
He was also trying to get a
disability pension.
At the very moment you
are reading these lines,
somewhere in the United
States a community is being
shaken by an incident of po-
lice use of deadly force w it
is that common an occu-
rence.
The pattern too, is pretty
well established. A killing is
followed by an investigation
which often clears the offi-
cer. If the case Is too blatant
to cover up, the officer may
he brought to trial, often on a
lesser charge. The case most
often ends with acquittal or,
at best, a very light sentence
which itself is often suspend-
ed.
Many police departments
are setting strict rules on the
use of weapons. But in many
cases the rules are flexible
enough to allSw continued
incidents, Even mild rules
are often fought by police
officers who charge they 'are
exposed to threats to their
own lives if they are not
given greater leeway in using
their own Judgment on the
use of firearms.
The police and the public
are captivated by the myth
' that policemen use their guns
because their own or other
people's lives are threatened,
or because they are trying to
capture a dangerous armed
criminal.
But the facts are other-
wise. The Police Foundation
studied seven major cities
over a two-year period. It
found no relation between po-
lice shootings and serious
crimes. In fact, about two-
fifths of the police shootings
occurred during routine traf-
fic stops and disturbance-of-
the-peace calls.
So self-defense Is no expla-
nation for the use of deadly
force, nor is the need to cap-
ture a dangerous criminal a
:Valid explanation for many
..::, ootlngs. Further, many in-
: cldents involve "off-duty, out-
of-uniform policemen.
The tlme for strict, univer-
sal standards on the use of
force and weapons is long
overdue. Where standards
have been applied, the num-
ber of incidents decreases. In
one city that barred officers
from shooting at juveniles
except In self-defense, the
number of police victims
nose-dived.
Policemen are law-
enforcers. Their duty is to
apprehend law-breakers. It is
up to the courts to punish,
within the limits set by the
law. When a policeman
shoots, or when he kills, he
becomes judge, jury and exe-
cutioner.
The Justice Department
should consider taking the
initiative by drafting a model
code for the use of firearms
that local forces should
adopt. And another positive
step would be to Increase the
number of minority officers.
Their very presence could
well serve to inhibit their
fellow-officers who are so
free with their weapons when
incidents involve black and
brown suspects.

Mrs. Ruth (Holland) Buck-
land, who lives in Hinton, WV.,
is one of our pleasant neigh-
bors, who always has a friendly
smile for everyone. She and Mr.
Clair W. Buckland were united
in marriage at Catlettsburg,
Kentucky, December 23, 1948.
He was a yard brakeman for the
Chessie System in Hinton, and
promoted to yard conductor,
March 21; 1952. Mr. Buckland
died December 26, 1961. She told
me in our conversation that she
dearly loved to teach the school
children and since her retire-
ment seven years ago, she has
enjoyed every minute.
Mrs. Buckland was born at
True. W. Va., and later their
family moved to a farm on Elk.
Knob, which was on the road by
Keatley Springs. They lived on
this farm for thirteen years,
then they moved back to True.
They lived there two years, and
her father didn't care for this
farm, so he bought his old home
place, which is located a mile
above Sandstone, WV.
She remembers when she was
in the second grade at the
Pleasant View School on Elk
Knob Mountain. The school was
two and one- half miles from
their home, and during one
winter there came a deep snow
that drifted to great depths. Her
mother told her that she should-
n't try to walk the two and one-
half miles to school, because
she would be lost in those deep
snow drifts. Her father attemp-
ted to take her school on their
horse, but they hadn't travel-
ed far until the horse was
caught in a snow drift and
couldn't move. They had to
return home and Mrs. Buckland
said she cried all day, because
she loved to go to school, and
she didn't want to miss one
single day. '.
Mrs. Buckland received her
degree from Concord College,
and was studying at West Vir-
ginia University, when she was
involved in a car wreck, and
received a broken leg. She has
taught in many schools during
her thirty- six years as Prin-
ciple and School Teacher. She
taught at the Hix School two
terms, she also taught two
terms at the Rocky Bottom
School. She was teaching at the
Cross Roads School for four
years, and one term at the
Upland School.
She recalls an incident that
occured during her teaching at
one of these schools on Elk Knob
Mountain. She had forty- two
students enrolled, and they
were being taught in a one-
room school. Her classes in-
cluded the First Grade through
the Eighth Grade, also fifteen
Beginners, who were seated on
a long bench inf rent of the
classroom. This particular day
Mrs. Buckland was teaching the
beginners to draw. Mr. Gum, at
the Printing Shop in Hinton, had
given her a lot of pink and blue
construciton paper. This was
during the Depression Days,
and Mr. Gum was kind enough
to give the teachers a lot of the
scrap construciton paper. She
handed the blue and pink pap-
er to the little beginners, and
saying to them, "Now children,
we are going to draw today.
Won't that be nice! Please go to
your seats and begin to draw a
pretty picture." She said when
she handed the last pink sheet to
the little girl, who was sitting on
the end of the bench. The little
girl sat there and wouldn't go to
her seat. Suddenly, she scream-
ed and said, "Damn you, I'm
going home!" This shocked
Mrs. Buckland to hear this little
beginner talk that way, so she
thought, too, that maybe she
was mad because she didn't
receive the blue construciton
paper. She didn't want the child
to leave, because it was her first
daya t school, and her parents
would probably whip her for
leaving school. The little girl
ran from the building, and Mrs.
Buckland ran after her. She
finally persuaded her to return
to the class, but the little girl lay
on the floor, kicking and
screaming. The next day the
child came to school, and both
of her legs were bleeding from
the whiping her parents had
given her. Her older brothers
had told her parent@, what had
happened the day before. Mrs.
Buckland said that little girl
leanred to be a fine student, and
was one of her star pupils.
Mrs. Buckland said that her
father died when she was fourt-
een years of age, and their
family had a rough time making
. a living. She continued her
educaiton and earned a degree
to become a school teacher. She
was Principle at the Meadow
Creek School for four years, and
Principle at the Brooks School
for four years. She also taught
six years at the Bellepoint
School, and taught six years at
the Greenbrier School in Hin-
ton.
Her sister, Ms. Ruby Holland,
was also a school teacher, and
she taught Home Demonstrat-
ion, out of West Virginia Un-
iversity at Sutton, WV. She also
taught at Concord College.
Her baby sister, Ms. Hazel
Holland, married Mr. Denver
Wiseman, and they were bless-
ed with two children, whose
names are Ms. Paula Ann Wise-
man of Princeton, WV., who is a
teacher, and their son, Rever-
end Edward Dale Wiseman, of
Minnesota, who is a Methodist
Minister, and also a teacher.
Her brother, Reverend Paul
Holland, died seven years ago,
and he was a Primitive Bapt-
ist Minister. His two sons are
Mr. James HOlland, who is a
teacher, and now is the County
Agent for Greenbrier County of
West Virginia. His other son,
Mr. Connie Holland, is the fore-
man of Construction at Look-
out, WV. His three daughters
are Ms. Judy Holland and Ms.
Jo Ann Holland of Tennessee,
and Ms. Julia Holland of Cin-
cinnati, Ohio.
Mr.s Ruth Buclland told me
about an amusing incident that
happened at the Rocky Bottom
School . It was a very windy
day, and she was supervising
the children in the school yard
during recess, when the child-
ren returned to the one- room
school. One little boy named
"Chuck" raised his hand. Mrs.
Buckland asked him what was
his wish, and he said he want-
ed to borrow her comb. She
xplained tQ him that it wasn't
nice to use other people's comb.
He replied, "I want to comb
your hair, because the wind has
blown your hair so much that it
is sticking up like a rooster's
tail. " She gave him her comb,
and he walked up to her desk
and began combing her hair.
The chldren giggled and laugh-
ed, and after the had finished
combing Mrs. Buckland's hair,
he replied, "Now your hair
looks like something." He walk-
ed back to his seat.

Reliable Cost Estimates Are
Vital
A vital step in setting up
business is reliably estimating
the costs of doing business. An
entrepreneur must determine
fixed costs ( rent, utilities,
depreciation), direct costs (
labor, materials), indirect costs
(goods and services needed to
support the business), and gen-
eral and administrative costs.
Without this information, you
will not be able to price the,
goods or services you are sell-
ing.

yR I00Th ""-'
Ke ole Mr. and M,
The only time some people
think about coal mining in
America is when something
goes wrong such as a strike, an
explosion or energy shortages.
But a growing number of
Americans realize that mining
and miners have played a key
role in the nation's past and will
play and even bigger role in its
future.
It's these people that George
Parkinson hopes to reach with
the West Virginia University
, Library's new "Guide to Coal.
Mining Collections in the United
States."
The 182- page guide, which
contains 926 entries, was com-
plied by Dr. Parkinson, curat-
or of the library's West Vir-
ginia Collection, with assistance
from history students Claire
Collier of Morgantown and Jos-
eph Preston of Lewisburg.
"The first two- thirds of the
guide include archives, manus-
cripts, photographs and film,"
Dr. Parkinson observed. "They
range in size from collections of
a few items to those that take up
hundreds of linear feet of space.
Items 589 through 926 are oral
histories."
The guide, funded by a grant
from the National Endowment
of the Humanities, was spons-
ored by the Coal Miners Re-
search Project, a consortium of
individuals and institutions in-
terested in preserving coal coll-
ections and in coal research.
According to Dr. Parkinson,
the guide augments a biblio-
graphy about "The Coal In-
dustry in America" that was
complied by Robert F. Munn,
WVU dean of library services.
"You could say the new guide
will serve as a companion vol-
ume to Dr. Munn's guide. His
includes the published material
on coal and mine the unpub-
lished material."
Dr. Parkinson said the idea
for the guide came in part form
a conference at Pennsylvania
State University at which part-
icipants sought a way "to stand-
ardize the reporting of mat-
erials, to work out a way to shar
this material and to develop a
means to fund futurept.0jects.,,
until publ|catiotl 0':,e new
guide, much of the material on
coal collections was relatively
inaccessible because it was coll-
ected in a variety of ways by
many people.
"Often there has been a dup-
lication of effort," Parkinson
said. "More frequently, these
collections are unknown to
many who have an interest in
them. We want to make these
materials accessible."
The guide includes informat-
ion on repositories which have
coal- related collections, a loc-
ater symbol index and sequ-
entially numbered collection
descriptions arranged alphabet-
ically by main entry," he said.
"There is a composite index
.which is based upon Dr. Munn
's 'The Coal Industry in Am-
erica." "What time means,"
Parkinson explained, "is that
you can look at the index and it
will refer you to a collection. It
gives you a brief description of
what it contains. Then you can
turn to the repository inform-
ation and get the telephone
number where the collection is
located. Within 15 minutes you
can find out if they have the
informaiton you need. Before
you could have spent hours and
perhaps still not find what you
needed."
The guide, based upon a mail
survey, is by no means com-
plete, he explained. It's major
weakness is a lack of inform-
ation on collections concerning
women, families and commun-
ity histories. Some material,
included in non- coal collect-
ions, was found only by acc-
ident.
"It reveals a general lack of
direction in acquiring coal- re-
lated collections," Dr. Parkin-
son noted. "However, our aim
simply was to find as many coal
collections as possible within a
reasonable period of time. We
look forward to doing a second
edition to include collections we
missed.
"At the same time we took
care to include the major coal-
related collections as well as
those repositories with a com-
mitment to acquire coal coll-
ections," he added. "It's like a
measure. Now we know where
we are and what the gaps are.
"We would appreciate receiv-
ing news of any coal- related
collection we've missed. Un-
like some guides, we make no
restriction on size-- any report,
no matter how brief, is better
than having none at all.

New Techniques Used
Thousands of lakes and ponds
around the country are grossly
polluted because of an over-
abundance of nutrients. They
are the victims of eutrophicat-
ion- the process in which lakes
become over- productive, fill
with decaying vegetation, and
eventually become marsh and
dry land. A report in the 2
February 1979 Science, the
weekly journal of the American
Associaiton for the Advance-
ment of Science (AAAS), des-
cribes the techniques now being
used to reverse and to prevent
this process.
Thomas H. Maugh, II Science
Reserach News writer, reports
that eutrophication, a natural
aging process, is accelerated by
increased amounts of nutrients
from septic tank drainage, fert-
ilizer runoff from fields and
lawns, and other by-preducts of
civilization. Current lake rest-
oration techniques include lim-
iting the flow of phosphorus and
other nutrients to the lake and
removing the nutrients that are
already there.
The most crucial element in
lake restoration is controlling
the flow of nutrients. Other
restoration techniques can have
little impact unless this is ach-
ieved. The greatest single acc-
omplishment towards this end
has been the reduction of phos-
phates in laundry detergents
and an increased emphasis on
the removal of phosphorus in
sewage treatments.
In most cases, however, lim-
iting the flow of nutrients along
cannot improve water quality
because the lake is already
overloaded. Techniques used in
these cases include diluting the
lake with low nutrient water,
harvesting aquatic plants and
fish, or using chemical preci-
pitants, agents that combine
with phosphates to form
"clumps' that settle to the
bottom. Chemicals used suc-
cessfully include alum and fly
ash. Fly ash is a waste pro-
duct from power plants and, if
the heavy metals it contains do
not prove to be toxic, this might
result in a double environ-
mental solution-- cleaning the
water while disposing of the
ash. The use of chemical pre-
cipitants has the added advan-
tage of covering the lake bottom
with enough material to prevent
nutrients from being released
from the sediment.
When the lake is extraord-
inarily polluted or when other
techniques are not practical,
the remaining alternative is to
remove nutrient- laden sedi-
ment by dredging. This is usu-
ally effective, but it can cause
problems by releasing soft part-
icles and nutrients previously
trapped in the sediment. Some
of these problems can be part-
ially solved by using newer
dredging equipment designed to
minimize re-suspending the
sediment.
Unfortunately, not all lake
restoration projects are succ-
essful. To understand why some
projects succeed while similar
ones fail, scientists, are coll-
ecting and analyzing data to
determine which factors influ-
ence the chances . for success.

Byrd's.Eye View
By U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd
Last year, Congress de-
regulated the airlines in-
dustry, in hopes of lower-
ing prices and curbg
inflation by increasing busi-
ness competition through a
free market.
Airline deregulation has
not fulfilled these expecta-
tions. Thus far, the experi-
ence with airline deregula-
tion has failed to inspire
confidence in lessening fed-
eral controls in other in-
dustries.
True, some airfares have
been reduced. But, the air-
lines have substituted their
own thicket of regulations,
restrictions, and require-
ments on "super-saver"
fares, limiting the number
of travelers who can take
advantage of the bargains.
As for the anti-inflation-
ary impact of deregulation,
the airlines raised their
regular fares 3.2 percent in
November 1978, and there
is a pending request for an-
other 4 percent increase.
Even more distressing is
the conduct of the airlines
in seeking to abandon or
reduce routes. Such reduc-
tions have a severe impact,
particularly on small and
medium-sized cities, which
need the prestige of a na-
tional carrier to encourage
economic growth. While
some cities have gained
more routes and better
service, more than 100
cities across the coun-
try face air service cut-
backs.
Since January, four air
service carriers have filed
requests with the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB)
to reduce or 'eliminate serv-
ice to four West Virginia
cities. United Airlines,

50 percent reduction in its.

Piedmont wants to cancel
service to Parkersburg. Al-
legheny has been granted
its proposal to allow its
subsidiary commuter serv-
ice, Aeromech, to take over
service to Clarksburg and
Morgantown.
I have been in frequent
touch with officials of.t se
airlines, the CAB, and lo-
cal leaders to help assure
that West Virginia retains
sufficient air service. In the
case of United, I, together
with Senator Randolph, i
have petitioned the CAB to :i:
keep United's service to
Charleston until it can be !
replaced by another car-
rier. United has agreed to ,
a thre-week extension of ,
its service through June.
The negative consequen-
ces of the loss of service to
these West Virginia cities
far outweigh the limited
benefits of reduced rates
for a few travelers.
Deregulation must be ac-
companied by a responsible
attitude on the part of the
deregulated industry. Serv-
ice industries, such as the
airlines, have an obligation
to act in the public inter-
est. What may be efficient
for the airlines, will not al-
ways be efficient for the
public. A proper balance
must be struck.
If those in business and
industry want deregulation,
they must be prepared to
act responsibly toward the
public. Without responsibil-
ity, deregulation will be an
idea whose time has come
--and gone.
