Lilly, and Tommy By Bill Dressier By Bill Dressier For over one hundred years, the City of Hinton, WV. has progressed as a thriving bus- iness and recreation center of Summers County, West Virginia. The citizens have planned and worked to achieve their goals, and making our fine city of Hinton what it is today. Judge James H. Miller, in his "History of Summers County, West Virginia", wrote the following words: "In 1871, the family of Isaac Ballengee lived in the log house about the middle of the pres- ent railroad yards about the roundhouse. The family of John Hinton lived in a log house by the side of the main track just above the railroad and street crossing ( Avis Crossing) at the foot of the hill in the City of Avis." "The next entry ( A record made in the Summers County Court) is 1871, April 29th., and is a conveyance by William Crump to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, for a one-ninth undi,,ided interest in the Issac Ballengee land for a double track railway." "Hinton, within nine months, from a single log hut, increas- ed in population 300 souls. It was on January 15, 1874, that C.L. Thompson said in the "Mount- ain Herald": "If we would have a big city, we must have fact- aries. It is an age of develop- ment. Let us not be gazing idly about, but be up and doing. Manufactories will only go up under the fostering care and intelligence of our enterprising people." What was true then is true still• We now have a population of 6,000 souls." "Avis Hinton was the second wife of Captain Jac k Hinton,  whose firtVife was a sister 0:'/ Charles and John Maddy. She was a Gwinn, a sister of Enos, William, Lewis and Moses Gwinn of Meadow Creek. She died on the 22nd day of Jan- uary, 1901, aged ninety- one years. She was the owner of the tract of land on which the City of Avis was built. ( The City of Avis was named for Mrs. Avis Hinton) and she made her will in 1861, devising her property to her three sons, Joseph Hinton, Silas Hinton and William Hin- ton, Jr.." As stated in "That Charter of the City of Hinton", and of the "Code of the City of Hinton, W. Va." "As contained in Chapter one of the Municipal Charter Volume of the Acts of one thousand nine hundred and twenty- seven of the Legislature of West Virginia as amended by Cha-ter one hundred and thirty- ment giving the builders per- mission to allow me to work, because I was a fifteen years of age. I would he high upon the bridge scaffold, which was built over the railroad tracks, with the bucket of water in one hand, and holding on to the scaffold, with my other thand. When the crew hollered Waterboy! I would climb up under the brid- ge, and most of the time, a coal train would be pulling into the East Yard. The black smoke from the steam engine would blind me. In 1935, the Carp of Eng- ineers began a survey for the Bluestone Dam at Hinton for the prevention of flooding and hy- droelectric power. I was en- played to work with this Sur- vey crew. At the completion of the Blue- stone Dam Survey in 1937, the Memorial Building in Hinton was built. Then in 1949, the Bluestone Dam was completed. Over the past fifty years, there have been many new homes and many new roads constructed. New Schools have been built and new schools are under construction today. The Summers County Hosp- ital was completed in 1969, which was certainly neded for the citizens of Summers County and the surrounding counties. The New River Bridge at Hinton was completed in 1976, which was a great asset to Hinton and Summers County. So with the Bluestone Park, Pipestem, National Boat Racing, and Fishing on the Bluestone Lake, there is rec- reation of all types. These won- derful facilities invite people everywhere to come to Hinton and Summers County, West Virginia for an enjoyable visit. License Valid DMV Commissioner Virginia Roberts reminded West Virginia motorists today that their license plates bearing a green decal with the year 78 printed on it are valid for 1979 expiration. The plates with the green decal are valid until the month in which the license is desig- nated for renewal this year, she added. "For instance, if the prefix on the license plate shows a 6, that vlate would be due to expire ,lilac i I'b,'.. til-'l, l.l,lStl'aliLiil renewal, the owner would be given a new decal for 1980 expiration," the Commissioner added.

During the past fifty years, the citizens of Hinton and Sum- mers County have accomplish- ed many goals. In 1929, the Overhead Bridge was built to span the C& 0 Railroad Tracks at Avis Crossing. This provided safety for the pedestrians and automobile traffic crossing this railroad. I was one of the Waterboys on this Bridge Pro- ject. My parents signed a state- minder about the validity of the green 78 decals in view of the beginning of the vacation sea- son in whch "drivers will be traveling out of state for either long weekends or extended visits." Th e registration card should be in the immediate posses- sion of the operator of the vehicle, as the card serves as a means of proof of ownership, expiration date and license number verification. Mrs. Roberts noted that law enforcement agencies through- out the United States and Can- ada have been notified and re- minded on several occasions that the green 78 decals are valid during 1979 until the month of expiration designated on the plate. l physician once discovered a way of pinning down an ailment called iridisgnoeis. He swore he could tell the afflic- tion by the appearance of the iris of the patient's eyu. Received ApplicrLlions In 27 Counties West Virginia landowners filed 245 applications for fed- eral assistance under the Rural Abandoned Mine Program ( RAMP) during the signup per- led in February. Craig M. Right, state con- servationist for the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, said local SCS field offices received app- lications on lands in 27 count- ies. "We are extremely pleased with the response," Right said. "We will have a better idea of where we are going after a short evaluation period. We will now identify the higher priority pro- jects in the counties. Then the State Reclamation Committee will consider statewide prior- ities." SCS has $1.19 million to spend in West Virginia on technical assistance and federal cost- sharing under RAMP during fiscal year 1979. The RAMP money, collected as a fee on current mining of coal, will be used to reclaim lands damag- ed by past coal mining act- ivities. Two- thirds of the applicat- ions for the voluntary program came fl:om counties in north central West Virginia. Another 23 percent came from southern counties, and 10 percent from a few western counties. Earnings Up Cheeste System, Inc. reported today first- quarter earnings of $8•3 million, or 42 cents a share, "substantially above the first quarter of 1978" when the com- pany reported a deficit of $67 million, equal to $3.42 a share, mainly because of the 110- day long coal miners' strike. "The first quarter improve- ment was achieved despite sea- sonably low production levels, weather- related problems which affected railroad operat- ions and a slack demand for coal in January and February, " Hays T. Watkins, chairman and president, said. "From mid- February through the first week of Mar- ch, winter battered Chessie's railroads- the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Baltimore and Ohio and the Western Maryland- at both ends of the system," he said. "Freezing cold at Balt- imore impeded loadings of ex- pert coal. At Chicago, where we have widespread, important terminal operations, the heav- iest snowfall in history pre- vented us from interchanging freight cars with western rail- roads, although Chessie itself was able to keep moving. An ice storm in southern Illinois knocked out communications over eighty miles of line. In the east, floods affected operations at Richmond, Washington, Balt- imore and Philadelphia. "'The onset of better weather and growing traffic levels th- rough March, combined with the ability of Chessie's trans- portation machine to move, quickly into high gear and maintain a greatly accelerated pace, have lifted revenues to healthy levels as we close the quarter," Mr. Watkins explain- ed. Revenues of $127.9 million from transporting coal, coke and iron ore registered a 298 per cent improvement over 1978's opening period, when that traf- fic was virtually shut off by the coal strike and bad weather, he said. Merchandise traffic vol- ume, normally at low levels in any first quarter, rose three per cent over the year- ago mark and generated revenues of $241. 7 million. Total operating revenues for Chessie's railroads in the first quarter were $399.7 million, compared with $254.8 million for the same period of 1978. In the second quarter, Mr. Watkins said, "we look for a continuation of the good traf- fic levels achieved in March. Revenues and net income should show substantial im- provements over the 1978 per- iod, when May and June set earnings records." SOCIAL SECURITY Social Security gives out at least 118 billion per month to over 34 million people in the United States. -- CNS II 20 - Sp,W. Ve. I ill/Ill Viii OUR FLEA MARKET ON SUNOAY Fri., Sat., Sunl Missile Pitier Hooker l Also "Love In Striolo Places",'" X Show at Ohsk Right said that Harrison County landowners filed the most applications, 43. Monon- galia was second statewide with 34 applications, and 25 were filed in the third- place county, Lewis. Those three counties are contiguous, and another county in the same northern area, Preston, had 19 applications for sixth place statewide. Among southern counties, McDowell had 23 applications; Fayette, 20, and Raleigh, 6. Three counties had most of the applications in the western part of the state-- Brooke with 10, Mason with 7 and Kanawha with 4. No applications were filed in the eight Eastern Panhandle counties, where little coal has been mined. Local reclamation com- mittees are placing applications in priority groups now so that the intent of the law can be met, to reclaim "the worst first," Right said. To make the first two priority groupings, a site 'must be endangering public health and safety. Areas pre- senting extreme hazards will be treated first. Applications not in the two groupings will be held for later planning, funding and reclam- ation. Other owners of abandoned mine lands will have an opp- ortunity to sign up at a later date, Right said.

Earnings Up Cheeste System, Inc. reported today first- quarter earnings of $8•3 million, or 42 cents a share, "substantially above the first quarter of 1978" when the com- pany reported a deficit of $67 million, equal to $3.42 a share, mainly because of the 110- day long coal miners' strike. "The first quarter improve- ment was achieved despite sea- sonably low production levels, weather- related problems which affected railroad operat- ions and a slack demand for coal in January and February, " Hays T. Watkins, chairman and president, said. "From mid- February through the first week of Mar- ch, winter battered Chessie's railroads- the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Baltimore and Ohio and the Western Maryland- at both ends of the system," he said. "Freezing cold at Balt- imore impeded loadings of ex- pert coal. At Chicago, where we have widespread, important terminal operations, the heav- iest snowfall in history pre- vented us from interchanging freight cars with western rail- roads, although Chessie itself was able to keep moving. An ice storm in southern Illinois knocked out communications over eighty miles of line. In the east, floods affected operations at Richmond, Washington, Balt- imore and Philadelphia. "'The onset of better weather and growing traffic levels th- rough March, combined with the ability of Chessie's trans- portation machine to move, quickly into high gear and maintain a greatly accelerated pace, have lifted revenues to healthy levels as we close the quarter," Mr. Watkins explain- ed. Revenues of $127.9 million from transporting coal, coke and iron ore registered a 298 per cent improvement over 1978's opening period, when that traf- fic was virtually shut off by the coal strike and bad weather, he said. Merchandise traffic vol- ume, normally at low levels in any first quarter, rose three per cent over the year- ago mark and generated revenues of $241. 7 million. Total operating revenues for Chessie's railroads in the first quarter were $399.7 million, compared with $254.8 million for the same period of 1978. In the second quarter, Mr. Watkins said, "we look for a continuation of the good traf- fic levels achieved in March. Revenues and net income should show substantial im- provements over the 1978 per- iod, when May and June set earnings records." SOCIAL SECURITY Social Security gives out at least 118 billion per month to over 34 million people in the United States. -- CNS II 20 - Sp,W. Ve. I ill/Ill Viii OUR FLEA MARKET ON SUNOAY Fri., Sat., Sunl Missile Pitier Hooker l Also "Love In Striolo Places",'" X Show at Ohsk Right said that Harrison County landowners filed the most applications, 43. Monon- galia was second statewide with 34 applications, and 25 were filed in the third- place county, Lewis. Those three counties are contiguous, and another county in the same northern area, Preston, had 19 applications for sixth place statewide. Among southern counties, McDowell had 23 applications; Fayette, 20, and Raleigh, 6. Three counties had most of the applications in the western part of the state-- Brooke with 10, Mason with 7 and Kanawha with 4. No applications were filed in the eight Eastern Panhandle counties, where little coal has been mined. Local reclamation com- mittees are placing applications in priority groups now so that the intent of the law can be met, to reclaim "the worst first," Right said. To make the first two priority groupings, a site 'must be endangering public health and safety. Areas pre- senting extreme hazards will be treated first. Applications not in the two groupings will be held for later planning, funding and reclam- ation. Other owners of abandoned mine lands will have an opp- ortunity to sign up at a later date, Right said.
