A lively column riffs on off field dress in baseball from moustaches to beards, recalling the House of David era and lampooning managers who ban facial hair. It shifts to local satire about politics, a country song’s rise, and a Christmas gag about timing a gift with a flocked tree, ending with a wry quip about opportunism.

Cloud delays South Charleston bond plan amid funding doubts
South Charleston officials and a citizen committee discussed possible funding for a proposed bond issue up to two million dollars as federal matching funds may be unavailable, with incinerator and storm sewer projects among the priorities, and hospital expansion tying into bond considerations. The group, chaired temporarily by Mer Aitken, weighed options to keep the bond total lower, including tax approaches and four city joint incinerator ideas with nearby towns.

Federal coal dust standards proposed by HEW official
HEW proposes the first federal coal dust standard to curb pneumoconiosis or black lung, citing 100000 at risk and studies showing up to 20 percent of former Appalachian miners with X ray evidence. The rule would cover soft and hard coal mines, though enforcement would require Congressional authority. The initiative follows long delays amid higher-priority issues.
