for being so gracious and
encouraging, you have put up with
so much from us between the
increases so will shops, restaurants,
and employment, creating an even
more charming Hinton. As new
home construction continues to
expand into the outlying areas of
Summers County famih'es will begin
to prosper. While the restoration of
the older homes preserves our
countries' history with each home
telling, it's own story one wall at a
time. Sadly, there are still some
Slum-lords in this county that do not
really care about the communities
or the residents. This causes the
property values to decline in areas
and discourages future home buyers
from the neighborhoods. Its

According to the best information,
the first railway dining cars on a
regular passenger run were
operated by the Philadelphia,
Wilmintn & Baltimore Railroad
between Philadelphia and Baltimore
in 1863. According to such meager
information as is available, these
cars were converted baggage cars
equipped with a long counter
running nearly the full length of the
interior. The food was prepared at
terminal stations or in restaurants
adjacent thereto and placed on the
cars immediately before the
departure of the train. These
primitive cars. remained in operation
for about three years and only on

Dear Editor:
Mr. Robert Wexler, House
Democrat from Florida made a
statement that Mr. Cherlton Heston
and the National Rifle Association
were writing the gun-laws for
America.
Now, that is an outrageous and
misleading statement designed by
this flunky politician in order to
deceive theAmerican people. Either
Mr. Wexler does not understand
Constitutional History or he is just
playing possum.
The Constitution which is the law
of the land was written by our
forefathers and not the NRA. But
thanks be to God that Mr. Heston
and the NRA are vehemently
fighting to protect the law of the land
and in particular the Second
right to violate the Second
Amendment of our Constitution
which is the law of the land.
The problem is not the Second
Amendment, but rather Ms. Janet
Reno and her Justice Department

POLICY
Lette are wekmae, hut m morn
than one letter esch month will be
that will not prosecute these
criminals around the country.
America, you better wake up, our
freedom and liberties are being
eroded by Democrats and
Republicans alike, who wants to
establish a One-World Order in
which tyranny will rule the land.
Surely, Mr. Wexler has a warp
mentality for no nation can't remain
free by giving up its freedom. We,
Americans think that we are
immune to tyranny, that it could
never happen here. Remember, it
happened in Russia and Germany
and it could happen here too.
Therefore, Benjamin Franklin said
that the price for freedom was and
is eternal vigilant.
So, I beseech you to join the NRA
and let us keep a watchful eye on
Washington D.C., protect your
Second Amendment. This is one red-
blooded American who will not be
deceive by the demagoguery of the
Washingtonian establishment.
What about you?
Proclaim liberty throughout all
the land. (Leviticus 25:10)

In Reference
To Letter
Dear Editor:
In reference to the letter you
published on June 22, 1999, from
Debbie S. Bragg, it is indeed
disturbing that you would publish a
letter of this type of complaint
without knowing the facts, and the
other side of the story.
The complainant had access, and
did read the manual before she made
the purchase. She had access to its
use and the manual for over two
weeks.
We cannot sell a used piece of
merchandise as new when it had
been used as much as this machine
had been used. It was not a defective
machine.
There are many facts and details
that you did not check out or know
about, and yet you chose to publish.
This is not fair, nor is it good
journalism.
We are due an apology from you
and do expect one in writing.
Regards,

first three hotel cars were named
"President," "The Western World"
and "Kalamazoo.
The first car built by Pullman to
be devoted exclusively to restaurant
service was the "Delmonico.
Complete kitchens and pantries
were installed in one end and the
main body of the car was fitted up
as a dining room in which the
passengers from all the cars of the
train could enter and take their
meals with comfort. The
"Delmonico was put in service in
1868 on the Chicago & Alton, and
additional Pullman diner were
added later that same year. The
Michigan Central and the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroads
decided to operate diners on their
trains at about the same time. The
Chicago & Alton, however, is
generally credited with having
inaugurated the dining car system
in a general way.
During this period, the C. & A.
diners were operated between
Chicago and St. Louis, and were
constructed and managed by the
Pullman Company. The price for any
meal was $1.00. Later the Alton
acquired an interest in the cars and
ultimately assumed full control of
them.
In the late 1870's a man named
Charles Nordhoff made a trip from
New York to California and wrote his
observations for the magazine
Harper's Monthly in an article
titled, "California - How to Go and
What to See." In the article he
complains vigorously about the
eastern trains which tore along at
the ridiculous speed of 40 m.p.h. As
he expressed it, "at 35 or 40 miles
per hour the country you pass
through is a blur; one hardly sees
through the telegraph poles; reading
tires your eyes, writing is
impossible, conversation impractical
except at the auctioneer pitch, and
themotion is wearing and tiresome.
Regarding diners, Mr. Nordhoff
wrote, "From Chicago to Omaha
your train will carry a dining car
which is a great curiosity in its way.
I expected to find this somewhat
greasy, a little untidy and with the
smell of kitchen. But in fact it is as
neat, as nicely fitted, as trim and
cleanly as though Delmonico himself
had furnished it; and through the
kitchen is in the forward end of the
car, so perfect is the ventilation that
there is not even the faintest oxior of
cooking. You order your breakfast,
dinner or supper from a bill of fare
which contains quite a surprising
number of dishes, you eat admirably
cooked from snow white linen, and
pay a moderate price,
It is now the custom to charge a
dollar per meal and this is not too
much. You may have your choice in
the wilderness eating at the rate of
22 miles per hour, of buffalo, elk,
antelope, beefsteak, mutton chops or
grouse."
I'm glad I didn't sign the petition
to have that curve removed.
Since I didn't sign I'm allowed to
complain; but for all of you who did
sign, enjoy the mess.

New Medicine for
Athlete's Foot Works
Within Seven Days
Athlete's foot is a fungal in-
fection that affects millions of
people each year. Most cases in
the US occur during summer
months. A common way to pick
up the fungus is from walking
barefoot on contaminated sur-
faces such as swimming pool
decks or bathroom/locker room
floors. The chances of getting
athlete's foot increase with mi-
nor foot injuries or poor hygiene
• ior.Y lesting the feet stay wet for
long periods of time during hot
weather. Symptoms of infection
include intense itching and blis-
tering on and between the toes
and cracking between the toes.
Several nonprescription med-
icines (creams, powders, sprays)
are available to treat the fungus
associated with athlete's foot.
Most require four weeks of treat-
ment. But, according to a recent
report, most people use these
medicines for only two weeks or
less (about the time it takes for
symptoms to subside). A previ-
ous prescription-only medici'
called terbinafine (Lamasil A''i
kills the fungus that causes
athlete's foot within seven days.
Lamasil AT is now available in
the US without a prescription.
Lamasil tablets and spray will
continue to be available as pre-
scription-only products.
