Hinton's beginning to look a lot
like Christmul People are begin-
ning to decorate their homes and
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bennett, in Belle-
point, have gone all out, taking the
decorationsinto theiryard, with over
7,000 lights and 31 stars. Bennett,
who lives just before roaching the
Summers County Hospital, said it
took a month finish and he still in-
tends to set up even more stars.

ruing, last week, by Bill Berry.
Businesses are getting decorated and
Rivertown looks nice with candles in
the Bed and Breakfast upper story
windows that face SocondAve., while
Roger and Pare Mullins worked hard
last week with the store front win-
dows. The Tobacco Leaf, on corner of
Ballengee and 2nd, has colorful lights
forming a Reindeer and sled in its
window; while the Western Auto and
Town Square have a manger scene.
The Leslie's home on Ballengee
St. has a warm look toit with Christ-
man Wreaths in each window and
light streamers flowing down each
of the four columns that front the
mansion. Numerous other homes
have colorful lights around them.
It's nice to see so much Christmas
cheer!
We expect to see more decorating
downtown as Hinton gets ready for
its Christmas parade on Saturday,
Dec. II at 2 p.m.
If you haven't tried the Dairy
Queen's "Jalapeno Poppers you're
depriving yourself of a scrumptious
treat. You get six breaded peppers,
stuffed with cheese, and served on a
bed oflettuce. Ranch dreseingcomes
too if you want it. That, and a
hamburger, is mighty good!
The Sheriff's Department cer-
tainly deserves a word of THANK'S
for the increase in night patrolling
downtown. When you see them at
all hours of the Right, almost every
time you're out, you know they are
making the munch, Take time to
thank your police department the
next time you them.
Plans are being developed for a
fund drive to raise money for the
purchase of bullet proof life jackets
for the Sheriff's Dept. Details are
sketchy, but Sheriff John Plumley is
expected to make an announcement
in the near future. We encourage
this and hope the people will sup-
port them in this endeavor. Ourlaw
enforcement men should have every
protection affordable, available to
them. If everyone helps out the
jackete can be purchased soon.
Remember these men are your
friends and will llp you in time of
need. Right now they need your
help.
We're sure a number of people
remember WOAY-TV 4's reporter
David Venable. He's just landed a
job at QVC, one of the home shop-
ping channels. He covered several
stories here while working for the
Oak Hill station and we're happy to
learn of his promotion. It means
national exposure for him and we
wish him luck.

HINTON C&O BASEBALL
TEAMS, Part 4 of 5 parts.
Before concluding this series
about Hinton's C&O baseball teams
] would like to reflect on a game
played at Hinton ball park, Sator-
day, May 24, 1902, between the C&O
team and Concord State Normal.
Concord had a very good team that
year and proved to be a worthy op-
ponient for the highly rated C&O
team. The City of Hinton was very
excited about the coming event and
everyone was discussing the possi-
bility of Hi nton tasting defeat at the
hands of the school boys because
they had been tried and tested and
proved themselves worthy of play-
ing ball with the best.
Citizens of Hinton were worried
too because four of their best play-
ers, viz., SheffMoore, Ira Meadows,
Bill Ferrell and Bill Turner would be
absent because of various reasons.
The rest of the team m embers weren't
womed though because they had
ample replacements and each player
was experienced at several different
positions on the team.
The day of the game arrived. It
was a lovely sunny day and the crowd
jubilent expecting a good game.
Just as the umpire was ready to
call out play ball, it was discovered
that, through the excitement, both
teams had gone to the ball park
wi thou t a catcher's mask. The game
was delayed while the manager of'
each team left toget the much needed
equipment.
Finally the Hinton team took the
fie] d to an uproar and applause from
the lhns as Umpire Lewis yelled
"PLAY BALL."
Concord went ahead when they
scored one run offBob Turner in the
first inning but Hinton came right
back and scored four runs in their
halfofthe first inningon elTol's and
it looked as if it would be a walk
away. But each team settled down
and Hinton scored one run in the
second inning and one in the sixth
while Concord came back to tie the
game six to six by scoring tworunsin
the 3rd and three runs in the sixth.
Turner then went to 2nd base and
Compound Chandler took the
mound. Neither team scored again
until the 1 lth inning when Concord
went ahead by scoring one run.
Hinton had to score in their half or
be defbated 7 to 6. The big bats tbr
Hinton came into play by scoring
three runs, the last two on a home
run, pandomonieum reigned, and
Hinton came away the victor 9 to 7.
The Score By Innings:
Concord = 10200300001 = 7.

inning with one run in and a runner
on 3rd. base, no one out, Compound,
smelling defeat, bore down stritdng
out the next three batters, zip, zip,
zip. For Concord it was F. Kell at
short stop. By very clever fielding he
pulled pitcher 'Kid" Willis out of the
hole several times.
The surprise of the game was the
play of"Cabbage Wise." It was the
first game he had ever caught and he
did it in style. He called for the right
pitches and didn't allow a single
passed ball.
Many more exciting games were
played by this great 1902 team.
Continued next week.
IN THE LIBRARY
When the Board of DJrectors of the library reviewed the library's finances
at the Nov. meeting, they were dismayed to discover that there was not
enough money in the operating fund to cover Nov. expenses. Rather than
cut services, board members sent out emergency appeal to the community
for financial help. (Special thanks to attorney David Parmer's staff for
preparing the mailing).
Once again the community responded and the library was able to pay its
bills. I want to thank all those whose donations made it possible tolight the
lights and keep the door open. Unfortunately the library faces the same
situation month after month. We ask those who have not contributed this
year to add the library to their Christmas list.
We also want to thank the businesses in the community which purchased
ads in the SundayArts in the City program from the Friends of the Library.
Money from the ads plus donations from generous individuals have added
$7,000 to our operating fund since July 1 (of the $20,000 needed for the fiscal
year.)
The tireless Friends are currently running the Dec. Book Sale in the
library. There has been a wonderful selection of new and old books this year,
but they are going fast so you better get in and "check 'era out". Donations
of used books are welcome.
One final note. There are still tickets available for the Messiah which will
be performed Men., Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. in the Presbyterian Church in Hinton.

How to Get Rid of
Head Lice
Head lice are tiny, wingless
insects that reside on the scalp and
hair of humans (mostly children).
Lice live off the blood they suck
from bites to the scalp. Infestations
are highly contagious and affect
more than I0 million Americans
each year. Lice can be transferred
on combs, brushes, and other ob-
jects. Outbreaks are common in
schools and day care centers. Bites
and fecal deposits from head lice
may cause itching of the scalp.
The adult female louse may
lay up to 150 eggs in one instance.
The eggs become attached to hair
follicles. Effective treatment of
head lice involves killing the lice
,as well as eggs attached to the hair.
According to the Handbook of
Nonprescription Drugs, the
medicine of choice for treating
head lice in adults and children is
1% permethrin cream rinse. Be-
fore applying the rinse, shampoo
the hair with regular shampoo.
Rinse the hair before applying
permeth-rin. Let the rinse remain
on the scalp for 10 minutes. Rinse
and dry the hair again. Remove
lice eggs and egg shells from the
hair with the special comb pro-
vided. A second treatment in 7 to
10 days may be necessary to kill
lice that hatch after the first treat-
mcp t,Wahttrrtlps and blip;brushes
in the lice-killing rinse and then boil
them. A [falJ y rnem" in con-
tact with the affected child should
be treated. Product labeling sug-
gests that you not use permethrin
rinse on children under age two.
