])etch said Aucremanne was not
properly charged. He argued"if you
take the policeman's story at its most
probable truth it would be very diffi-
cult to believe that a felony occurred
before the police. You still have to
have the intent to maim, disfigure or
kill. It's hard for me to believe that
anybody is going to believe there
was ever any intent, simply by push-
ing a person down, thatyou intended
to maim or disfigure or kill them in

said the charge, if anything, should
have been a misdemeanor for bat-
tery.

there is enough here to find probable
cause to bind over to the Grand Jury

THE CARY RAILROADERS:
Last week I mentioned the retire-
ment of James R. Cary, Jr., Superin-
tendent of the C&O Railway at
Clifton Forge, Vs., on Sept. 30,1958.
John Faulconer, in his Hinton
Around column, Nov. 4, 1958, fea-
tured guest columnist, Fred McCoy,
a former Secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
at Clifton Forge, Va. Mr. McCoy had
some nice things to say about Jim
Cary, Sr., and Jim Cary, Jr., we
think you will enjoy and his remarks
are reprinted below:
"THE RETIREMENT of popular
Jim Cary as superintendent of the
Clifton Forge Division and the trans-
fer of K.R. Ketcham to succeed him
in Clifton Forge, recalls one of the
sentimental sagas of the railroad
industry.
"Mr. Cary's father, the late James
Cary, Sr., was one of the most color-
ful officials ever to work for the
who still hold that railroad employ-
ees are human begins, rather than
cogs in the operation, and who de-
vote every waking moment to rail-
reading out of love, not duty, is Jim
Cary, Jr.
=Though we, like many others,
will be sorry to see the Cary's leave
Clifton Forge which they love and
where they are loved, it gives us a
glow in our heart to know that he
will spend his well-earned retire-
ment along the same tracks and on
the same farm where his distin-
guished father spent his declining
days.
=Our Jim Cary is the worthy son
of a worthy sire. And just as senti-
mental."
That ends Mr. McCoy's remarks
but the retirements mentioned did
not end the Cary's association with
the C&O at Hinton in the person of
Jim Cary Jr's., two sons.
Later that fall we located an eld- Charleston, WV 25301

stun It was commonplace for him to
• either in the Engineering Depart'
leap offofhis private car and inquire
about members of the family of a
cemetery. In asking directions, we
were given some elderly residents'
names to talk with and all were very
kind and helpful telling us of the
other cemeteries also on Hump
Mountain.
We preceded to the location as
they directed and after driving sev-
eral miles and finding no roadside
cemetery markings decided we were
lost. We stopped at a well kept home
and farm owned by Mike Miller, a
CSX engineer and asked for direc-
tions. This kind man told us we were
near our goal but the roads were
through his fields and beyond and
not very passable and said he would
take us as he was afraid we could not
find it on our own and he was RIGH
We asked him to drive our vehicle
which luckily was four wheel drive
and he maneuvered us over narrow
road bed, thick overgrowth and rough
terrain for several miles. When we
came to the top of the hill, we were
dismayed to find the cemetery (which
is in a beautiful location) was so
covered with weed-growth we could
scarcely see tall tombstones. It was a
hot day, but Mr. Miller came to the
rescue by finding a large pole and
beating down the weeds so we could
took for tombstone but we could not
find our James Bowles perhaps due
to the heavy ground cover or it may
be one of the unmarked stones.
We hope anyone reading this who
has any history of Bee Tree Knob
Cemetery helpful to us would get in
contact with us. Also, we want to
publicly thank all the kind persons
who took time out of their schedules
to assist us, especailly Mr, Miller
who spent an afternoon oftiring work
in the heat for total strangers and
doing it willingly and would not
accept any tangible expression of
our appreciation.

solid waste from 15 states.
The named states are Vs., Ky.,
Oh., N.C., Penn., Wash. D.C., Md.,
N.Y., NI., Tenn., S.C., Conn., Ind.,
Mass., and DE.
Since this landfill is located near
the Giles Co., Vs. border and the
leachate run-off from it drains into
Rich Creek, Vs. and New River I
assume this "Public Notice"appeared
in Va. newspapers and W.Va. news-
papers downstream from thelandfill.
Please send me a list of the news-
papers, radio, and TV stations in Vs.
and W.Va. that carried this proposal
to accept solid waste from the south-
east, the northeast, and midwestern
states.
Also, I am requesting that the
"Public Notice be ran for an addi-
tional 30 days in both WNa. and
Va., with a new map that does not
obliterate Rich Creek with the solid
blackline, and shows New River and
the downstream communities that
will be polluted by tfiis huge landfill.
Is the plan to take 9,999 tons of
solid waste on a =per Day basis, a
weekly basis, monthly oryearly? The
poorly worded and misleading
"Public Notice" does not say. Why
9,999 tons and not 10,000 tons?
Would 10,000 tons make it a Class A
landfill and thereby have to be voted
onby the citizens of Monroe County?
I'll be looking forward to an an-
swer to these and many other ques-
tions, like who is =Ham" Sanitary. Is
=Ham" short for Hamilton, Hamrick,

"Railroading was in Jim Cary
senior's blood as it had been in few of
the few figures in this the most
dramatic of industries.
=WHEN RETIREMENT ap-
proached, the elder Mr. Cary de-"
cided to make his home along the
C&O tracks at Ivy, <Va> near Char-
lottesville, so that he could spend his
final days near his beloved railroad.
The story is told that when he re-
tired, I think it was in 1942, <It was
actually Sept. 30, 1940> one of the
last things he told engineers on the
Mountain Division who bid him
goodbye was to remember their re-
tiring general superintendent.
"I will be living along the tracks at
Ivy. No matter what time of the day
or night you pass my farm, I would
like to hear your engine whistle, so
that I will know that the C&O is still
running." he said.
=THE ELDER Mr. Cary has since
gone to the railroad men's Valhalla
and is intered in a small cemetery
about three miles west oflvy. Strang-
ers are sometimes startled to hear
an onrushing C&O train whistle
blast out in the night as it passes the
lonely grave yard. It is a tribute from
old railroaders who still remember
"Ole' Jim.
=THE RAILROAD industry has
changed vastly since the days of Jim
Cary, Sr. The personal relationship
between men and supervisors has
been altered radically by the ad-
vancement of central train control,
central operations, management,
union agreements on a system-wide
scale and virtually every detail of
railroading being run =by the book."

meat or the Maintenance Depart-
ment. He was a bowler on one of the
teams when Howard Foster ran the
bowling-alley under the A&P store
on Ballengee, St. He later trans-
ferred to the Transportation Depart-
ment and it is unknown by me how
far up the corporate ladder he went
but I know at one time he held a high
responsible position on the North-
ern Region.
And who could ever forget li keable
"A]" Cary who was located here as
assistant su perin tendent? A| B. Cary
started his railroad career as a la-
borer in 1942 at Clifton Forge, Vs.,
soon becoming a machinist appren-
tice. He then served three years with
the armed forces and upon return,
finished his apprenticeship and
became a machinist. He later be-
came a night roundhouse foreman
at Clifton Forge. In 1957 he was
promoted to assistant trainmaster-
assistant road foreman of engines at
Danville, W.Va., later appointed
assistant superintendent at Hinton.
After successfully filling his appoint-
ment here, he was promoted to super-
intendent of the busy Richmond
Division.
We remember in the early 1970's
when a westbound train sideswiped
a engine of an eastbound train on
the turnout at Walkerford, Va., kill-
ing a brakeman. Al was in charge of
a hearing to establish the facts of the
accident so proper discipline, where
due, could be administered. It was
an all day hearing where several
employees were charged with respon-
sibility and each had one or more
union representatives. The hearing
was held before the Interstate
Commerce Commission Represen-
tatives andbecause of its magnitude
many officers of the C&O could not
have stood up under the ordeal.
The train dispatcl:er on duty when
the accident occurred was charged
and I, along with Dan Collins of
Chicago, Ill., who was later Secre-
tary-Treasurer and still later Presi-
dent of the train dispatchers' union
were present as his representative.
As the day progressed, my admi-
ration for Mr. Cary continued to
increase. With the large room full of
officers, employees and representa-
tives, he conducted the hearing in a
forthright, dignified manner. A
manner in which the C&O Railway
Company, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and all of the union
representatives should have been
proud. I can say without dispute, the
train dispatcher's representatives
were well pleased with his handling
of the awesome ordeal. In my opin-
ion, CSXT would be in better hands
if they had a few like the Carfs in
Jacksonville calling the shots.

Sciatica: Pain of the
Back, Hip, and Legs
Sciadc pain occurs morn fre-
quently in men and involves pain
of the legs and lower back. Sciatic
pain can result from pressure on
the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve
in the body. Actually there is more
than one sciatic nerve. These
nerves branch out from the spinal
cord to the buttks, the. sex or-
gans, /nd the lower extremities.
Any conditioh at affects the
sciatic nerve that runs down each
leg can cause pain all the way from
the lower back to the toes.
Typically, sciatica is sensed as"
a burning pain that shoots down
the hip along the back of the thigh.
Coughing, sneezing, or trying to
bend the back may worsen the
pain. The pressure on the sciatic
nerve is thought to occur when one
of the discs of the back bone breaks
and presses on one of the roots of
the sciatic nerve. A narrowing of
the opening in the vertebrae from
arthritis of the spine is another
cause of sciatic pain.
Treatment of sciatica consists
of bed rest and limiting movement
of the extremities. Heat from a
heating pad or hot water boule
applied to the hip and legs may
provide some relief of pain.
Nonprescription pain-relievers
such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and
acetaminophen may be helpful. If
the pain persists, treatment of un-
derlying causes may be necessary.
Surgery may be required to correct
an abnormal spinal condition.
