MATWS
That's how your children will pros-
per in the future with your current
educational system - no way. You
deserve better. Your children de-
serve and should demand better.
Your grandchildren will demand
better. You won't have to worry then.
It will be too late. For you and for
them.
In closing, permit me to thank
Mr. Kessler. You are doing a great
job. To you, Mathews, ifl can get you
out of the dark for a moment. Clean

"Will the victim's life continue like
this or get worse? Maybe endingin a
death? If the answer is "yes", then a
call should be made to report the
situation."
The above statement was made
by Chief Magistrate J.W. Bill Jef-
fries, Jr. He was referring to a
common hindrance to law enforce-
ment, the lack of a report.
As magistrate in Summers County
for the past seven years, Bill Jeffries
understands the law from both sides,
the enforcement didsion and the
private citizen's. He has a keen
desire to see justice done for the
innocent.
Prior to taking office of Chief
Magistrate, he was a deputy sheriff.
He received instruction in the rudi-
mentary principles of law and proce-
dures in 1984, in Morgantown, dur-
ing a class sponsored by the WV
Supreme Court of Appeals.
In addition to this training, Jef-
fries, on an annual basis, absorbs
additional instuction, having re-
ceived 8 certificates of completion
and a diploma of proficiency through
courses recommended to be enacted
through the Supreme Court's Chief
greatly ou tn umbered by the popul a-
tion to patrol and care for, many
violations of the law may not be in
"clear view ". Misdemeanors, unlaw-
ful entry, search & seizure, breach of
peace (public intoxication) are but a
few areas of dutyship where the
magistrate may be called to issue a
warrant. The private citizen can be
a great help by reporting to the
authorities doings against the law.
=Emotions run high during the
holidays," said Jeffries. "It's a time
,f family and friends...sometimes it
rubs tempers." Domestic violence
erupts.
"Neighbors seeing child abuse,
wife batterymdomestics violence are
hesitant to report it," he said. "They
will have to continue living next to
that person after the legal part is all
over. Fear of the repercussions
prevent many report from coming
in.
"The same with the battered wife,
he continued. "Many are hesitant to
report what's happened to them, they
want to hold the family together, or
are afraid. To know whether to report
or not--ask yourself, Tqill (the
victim's) life continue like this or get
worse, maybe ending in a death?' If
the answer is "yes", report it."
Bill Jeffries is married to wife,
Patty. They are raising three chil-
dreh: Jackie-17yr.;Justin-9yr.; and
Nathan-8yr. He is a Summers
Countian, born and raised.
Concerning his job as Summers
County's Chief" Magistrate he said,
"It's very demanding on time and
mental capacities...It's not a 9-5 job.
It's demanding, yet it's vital...We
are required to be on call around the
clock when it is our turn. He shares
this responsibility with one other
magistrate.
"Though I'm not a law enforce-
ment officer," he said, "I hope the
courts provide a deterrant for crime
just as much as a law enforcement
officer patrolling the streets do."
At their regular Tues. noon meet-
ing at the Diner last week, the Kiwa-
nis Club of Hinton hosted four
members of the Key Club from Hin-
ton High School. Kiwanis President
Ralph Wilson welcomed Jennifer
Hill, who introduced Elizabeth Cr-
iddle, Jason Richmond, and Lee
Whitten. Miss Hill reported that the
Key Club is collecting toys and win-
ter clothes to be given away for
Christmas. She invited members to
bring items to the next meeting, or
drop them off at the Kroger store,
and to encourage their friends to do
so too.
Job Training In Fast Food
Management Offered To
Ex-Offenders in 5 Counties
Classroom training in fast food
management is now available to ex-
offenders in Fayette, Greenbrier,
Raleigh, Summers and Wyoming
counties, the state Bureau of Em-
ployment Programs announced. The
training is being provided by the
College of W.Va.
Participants will be recruited
through the Raleigh County Adult
Probation Office and Work Release
Center and through oth'er referral
sources. The ex-offenders will be
screened and, if found eligible, en-
rolled in courses which could lead to
an associate's degree in fast food
management.
Each student is also eligible for
up to $400, either as a financial aid
supplement or for transportation or
child care at the college's day care
center.
The program is being financed
through a $25,500 grant from the
state's Job Training Partnership Act
funds. For more information call the
College of W.Va. at 253-5060.

After lunch, Kiwanian Marvin
Lacy introduced Roy Walthall of
Alderson and Linda Nelson of Le-
wisburg. They are volunteers active
with Lifeline, a group based at
Humana Hospital in Ronceverte.
Linda Nelson explained that their
group offers a way for people who
live alone to call for medical or other
help in an emergency, even if they
are not near a phone. She clarified
that her group is NOT affiliated
with the system often advertised on
TV. Although the name is similar,
and they use much of the same equip-
ment, her group is local, is com-
pletely non-profit, and is staffed by
volunteers. Lifeline users are usu-
ally elderly, but include others with
injuries or diseases that make them
likely to need help in a hurry. A
typical Lifeline user wears a small
case with a button on a cord. When
pressed, the button sends a message
to a base u nit connected to the phone,
like a cordless phone. However, in
this case the unit automatically dials
the Lifelife center in the hospital.
Volunteers phone back to the user (
in case of a false alarm) and then
either alert a chosen neighbor or
send an ambulance.
At the next meeting, the Kiwanis
will host Miss Debbie Combs, of
Bluefield, who won the Southern Soil
Conservation District contest in
public speaking, and was cited in the
June, 1989 issue of Readers Digest
for her work in cleaning up the envi-
ronment.
