To Raise Money

Ways and means of raising money to finance the new Dining Hall at the 4-H Camp have been discussed by a special committee appointed by the 4-H Camp Advancement Committee.

Starting in July, the committee will launch the sale of “blocks.” An effort will be made to find a sponsor for each of the 2,900 blocks which have been purchased. Donations of 50-cents per block will be asked which includes the cost of labor. A list of all persons purchasing blocks will be posted in the new Dining Hall.

According to committee plans, places throughout the county will be asked for contributions for the general building fund. Special 4-H stickers or window cards will be provided for those making contributions.

The total cost of the building has been estimated at $7,500. At the present time, the footers have been poured and most of the blocks have been laid. If work goes according to plan, the building should be sufficiently finished to use during 4-H Camp this year.

Honored

Dr. Fred C. Allen has been elected president of the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy for the coming year. This makes the 20th year Dr. Allen has been so honored and his 27th year on the board. A pharmacist since 1909, he came to Marlinton in 1919. Last year Dr. Allen was honorary president of the National Board of Pharmacy, highest honor he has received, and he has received every plaque and award given to pharmacists. It is said he spends more hours at work than any other pharmacist his age.

Coach Resigns

On Tuesday night the Board of Education accepted the resignation of Robert Farmer as coach at Marlinton High School. Mr. Farmer will go to Iaeger in McDowell County. Elmer Friel was hired to replace Farmer, and Mrs. Nancy McNeel Currence was placed in Mr. Friel’s teaching position.

STEP

The State Temporary Economic Program (STEP) will go ahead this week when surplus money is available. The main program amounting to more than $3,000,000 will be under the Conservation Commission. In our county at Watoga $72,000 will be spent, over half for building repairs. Seneca will get $47,500, including two cabins and tenting area.

The jobs will be filled from the most needy unemployed. The basic pay scale will be $1 per hour, with wages for skilled labor according to State Road scales.

Farmer Judging Contest

The second annual Livestock Field Day and Farmer Livestock Judging Contest will be held at the University Animals Husbandry Farm near Morgantown.

Last year, a team from each district in the county participated in this contest with the team from Green Bank District winning second place in the state and taking county honors. This year’s team, consisting of Howard Hevener, E. N. Moore and Albert Wilfong, were presented a county trophy for this achievement and are expected to defend their county title again this year.
