LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Disappearance of
Advertisements
Dear Editor,
Like many of your readers, I have
noted with alarm the sudden disap-
: pearance of advertisements promot-
:ing APCo's interstate powerline
project. Revenues from these ads
i gave many of our state's newspapers
: a way to get back a small sliver of the
: many millions we send every month
. to Columbus, Oh.
:: Since the only benefit West Vir-
=ginians are ever likely to receive
L from this project is the money APCo
: spends on promotional advertising,
:lobbying and =good will gifts", I think
we should all do whatever we can to
• get the APCo power line promotion
re-started.
I think APC should run the same
ads they were running before, rather
than making up new ones. I had two
favorites; the one that said, . Va.
Needs More Electricity (that's why
we want to build one of the largest
power lines in the world to Roanoke,
Va.); and the one that claimed thou-
sands of W. Va. jobs would be cre-
ated (by making it easier to move
%Veetern Coal by Wire" acro W.
Vs., and by making it easier to sell
nuclear power from Mich., Chicago,
St. Louis and everywhere east of the
Rocky Mountains).
Even though APCO's promotional
efforts have obviously cost plenty, if
they are allowed to quit at this point,
they will have got off way too cheap.
After all, it was only a year ago that
an old friend of mine first expressed
his gratitude to powerline opponents
for having stimulated APCo to give
some money to the community or-
ganization he works for. He told me
it had never happened before, and
he hoped it would keep up for a
while. So if your ball team needs new
uniforms, or if your fire depart, needs
new boots, I suggest you hurry up
and ask APCo for some money. There
may still be time, just don't expect
any help once they get their eight-
sen lane highway for midwest powert

Neighborhood
Dogs
Dear Fred,
I really question just how long we
of Summers County will have to put
up with the harassment and contin-
ual nuisance of neighborhood dogs?
Torn garbage bags on garbage pick
up day are a real problem as well as
defecation on walks and porches,
etc.
I called into question one neigh-
bore care for their dog. They stead-
fastly contend absolute care for their
animal / s. When I asked accusingly
about their scooping up defecation
after their dog, the reply was the dog
did their business somewhere else,
they couldn't find it. Therefore, they
were not responsible.
When is our Summers County
Commission going to enact a Leach
Law? It would make my life as well
as many others a bit easier.
Respectfully,
Leonidas R. (Leon) Moten

EIGHTH RAILROAD YMCA
INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE HELD AT
CI2[FTON FORGE:
The Railroad YMCA at Clifton
Forge, Va., was opend to the public
Fri., July 20, 1894. Just fourteen
months later, i.e., Fri., Sept. 13,1895
the International Conference of the
YMCA met at Clifton Forge during
four days of meetings and festivi-
ties. This was the eighth such con-
terence, the largest ever held and
was attended by nearly 500 dele-
gates representing twenty-seven
states, Canada and the Maritime
Provinces. There were 125 delegates
from N. Y. present. Virginia was
second with 53 and Pennsylvania
followed closely in third place with
51.
The gathering of delegates ex-
ceeded all expectations. Not being
able to accommodate the assembly
in the Y.M.C, the meeting opened
Friday Morning, Sept. 13, 1895 at
10:00 o'clock in the stove foundry
with C.F. Cox, vice president of the
Canada Southern Railroad, Chair-
man,
Invocation was given by Rev. E .W.
MacCorkle of Clifton Forge followed
by singing of hymns led by R.P.
Habgood, of Baltimore, Md.
Rev.T.H. Rice, of Alexandria, Vs.,
addressed the assembly upon "the
Service Required and Expected of
the Servants of God." We are bought
with a price, he said, and we owe it
to God to be his servants - not in
part, butin whole, not in some things,
but in all things. Be faithful sons,
fathers, brothers, employes and use
all of your faculties for the glory of
God."
Following the sermon by Rev. Rice
there was group singing and ad-
dresses presented by several dele-
gates.
Just before the afternoon session
concluded, President M.E. Ingals and
General Manager George W. Ste-
vens of the C&O Railway arrived.
Immtaly; ' ¢ter pr7onged ap-
plause, calls were made for Mr.
Ingalls to speak. He responded that
he was prepared to make the "effort
of his life'in the evening, and craved
indulgence until then.
Nearly 2,000 people crowded into
the stove foundry Friday evening to
hear the speech of President Ingalls.
Rev; Pendleton Jones, on behalf of
the churches, and Judge George
Anderson, on behalf of the citizens of
Clifton Forge, welcomed the visitors
to the city. Responses were made by
General Secretary Morse, of the
International Committee, and Chair-
man Cox, of the Canada Southern
R.R. when they introduced Mr. In-
galls, speaker of the evening.
The railroad Y.M.C.A. movement
on the C&O was pioneered by Presi-
dent Ingalls and he confined his
remarks to the benefit achieved on

ice obtained.
He opened his remarks by saying
"I never felt glad 'till now that this
building (foundry) was never used
for making stoves. He had thought
the YMCA building would accom-
modate the crowd, but all expecta-
tions had been exceeded. "When we
came into possession of the Chesap-
eake and Ohio, he continued, we
found it behind the times. At the
beginning of this work it looked like
a forlorn hope, but it was inaugu-
rated and pursued with a steadfast
and untiring energy, and now, to-
day, with the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association and the Chesap-
eake and Ohio the progress of the
one is the advancement ofthe other."
"Fifty thousand dollars have been
expended by the C&O in buildings
and in maintaining the institutions,
and have never known an institu-
tion with such small investment that
reaped such golden results." He
continued, rhe Chesapeake and
Ohio now claims to be the equal of
any road, and the work of the Young
Men's Christian Association as a
great moral agency has been the
instrument through which this con-
dition has been obtained.
Saturday, Sept. 14th., the confer-
ence opened at 10:00 a.m., with group
singing, speeches from various dele-
gates and musical renditions by the
Iowa State Quartet.
Sunday was almost exclusively
devoted to religious exercises. There
was a sunrise prayer meeting. Dele-
gates filled the pulpits of various
churches of Clifton Forge at the
regular worship services. That af-
ternoon, in the stove foundry build-
ing, a worship service was held where
about fifty persons accepted Christ
as savior.
During the meetings the follow-
ing hymn was chanted from the
platform:
Life is life a mountain railway,
With an engineerthat's brave.
We .must make the run success-
ful,
From the cradle to the grave.
Watch the curves, the fills, the
Open 12:00 until all the food is gone!

tunnels;
Do not falter, do not quail.
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.
Chorus:
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide
US,
'Till we reach that blessed shore.
Where the angels wait to join us,
In Thy praise for evermore.
You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bride of strife-
See that Christ is your conductor,
On this lightning train of life.
Always mindful of instruction,
Do your duty, never fail.
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.
You will often find obstructions-
Look for storms of wind and rain.
On a curve, a fill, a trestle.
They will almost ditch your train.
Put your trust alone in Jesus -
Never falter, never fail.
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.
As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide.
Youql behold the Union Depot,
Into which your train will glide!
There youql meet the Superinten-
dent,
GOd the Father, God the Sen.
, With a hearty, joyous plaudit,
Weary pilgrim, welcome home.
Men. morning, Sept. 16th. 1895 a
special passenger train conveyed the
entire delegation ta Hinton, where
the delegates were entertained at
luncheon by the ladies auxiliary of
the Hinton Y.M.C. Returning, the
train made a side trip to Hot Springs
where the afternoon was spent en-
joying the natural beauties of that
place and taking a dip in the pools
which was arranged through the
generosity of C&O President Ingalls.

New Medicine for
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a condition of the
skin in which there are flat pink or
red lesions covered with silvery
scales. The condition, which is of-
ten confused with dandruff and
seborrheic dermatitis, occurs most
often on the scalp, elbows, knees,
palms of the hands, soles of the
feet, and in the genital rectal area.
While there is no cure for pso-
riasis, many treatments have been
used with varying degrees of suc-
cess. In 1991 the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration found two
active ingredients in over-the-
counter medicines to be safe and
effective for the management of
this condition. These ingredients
are coal tar and salicyclic acid.
A new prescription medicine
recently was approved for the man-
agement of psoriasis. The new
medicine is calcipotriene (Dovo-
nex). This new medicine, which is
available in an ointment, is a syn-
thetic foma of vitamin D. The drug
is believed to clear psoriasis by
stimulating normal skin develop-
ment and growth. It should be ap-
plied as a thin layer to affected
lesions two times daily. A recent
issue of Pharmacist's Letter indi-
cates that no more than 100 mg of
the ointment (largest ointment tube-
siq) should ,be:.used in "a w'eeak,!-
Doses of calcipotriene higher than
this can cause blood levels of cal-
cium to get too high. Skin irrita-
tion can occur with normal doses.
