Is evident again that old malady parking space Short age is plaguing Beckley again. But this City is not the Only one which has encountered this problem. Other cities have Learned the hard Way about failing to provide sufficient parking facilities for customers. As a Rule people get fed up with vainly searching for a vacant space and turn elsewhere to do their shopping. A shortage of parking spaces has caused Many downtown shopping areas across the country to dry up on the Vine. Shopping centers with ample parking room have taken up the Slack and have been widely successful. With the family car being such a Strong Factor in local economic situations cities have found that if they want their downtown areas to Prosper they have to provide Park ing spaces suitable to the needs of their residents. When Beckley s municipal parking lot was built there was doubt that it would become even pay its Way. Since that time the parking lot has become a Type of economic Baro meter with local merchants taking a Reading on the number of cars parked there to see How much business the City is doing. On a Good Day the lot is Over flowing. And with the limited number of on Street spaces the lot is practically the Only place to Park in town. A number of private business firms have provided a certain number of spaces for their customers. They Rea Lize the importance of convenient Park ing facilities and consider the building of parking lots Good investments. Fortunately for Beckley merchants tiie parking situation is even worse in other area towns. But if Oak Hill mount Hope or perhaps even Princeton should decide to get on the Ball and build some convenient parking facilities a number of people who would normally shop in Beckley would no doubt be attracted. Just How much business Beckley chases away even now is a matter for Specula Tion. However it is quite obvious that the municipal lot is entirely too Small and that there had better be Steps taken to improve the situation if the City fathers have the Best interests of the City and its merchants at heart. As an economic indicator the parking lot fells a very Clear Story. It is toe Small to handle the traffic on a Good business Day. And it will continue to be Ess and less sufficient As business volume increases. But then unless people can find a place to Park their cars they Are not Likely to do much shopping in Beckley. Thus one of the most vital factors in economic expansion of a downtown shopping area is the availability of parking spaces. The City of Beck Ley would do Well to provide More of the needed facilities. Downtown merchants who May be losing a lot of Money this Christmas shopping season because of this shortcoming May have to put some pres sure on the City Council. Regardless action on this matter is now overdue. Aid to India alarms ally on the International level pressure can be brought to Bear in Many ways. Large countries can tug at the purse strings by threatening to withhold Aid. And Small countries can threaten to change their political alliances. The Only Small nations which can remain truly Neutral Are those like Switzerland which Are financially secure and do not have to seek Aid from foreign countries. The remaining Small a basically two choices of alignment the West or the soviet bloc. One Small nation which has lined up Wilh the United states in Cento Central european treaty organization and in Seato Southeast Asia treaty organization is Pakistan. The fruits of this Choice Are received by Pakistan in the form of voluminous foreign Aid from the u. S. But Pakistan has neighbor troubles. The Sovereign territory of Pakistan is divided by India. The larger Section lies along India s North West Border and the smaller Section almost Sepa rates the state of Assam from the rest of India. However the Pakistan India troubles Stem from the dispute Over Kashmir which lies Between the larger Section of Pakistan and red China. Of greatest concern to Pakistan at present is . Aid to India. Until a Faw weeks ago .-Lndia relations had been on the Cool Side. This was Fine with Pakistan. But when India called for massive arms Aid from the . And other Pakistan allies notes of discord were sounded in Karachi. Pakistan feared that arms shipped to India would eventually be used in the Kashmir dispute. Despite . Assurances Pakistan began to apply pressure hinting of a possible non aggression pact with red China. President Ayub Khan revealed plans to Send foreign minister to peking. It was rumoured Pakistan was going to withdraw from Cento and Seato. Thus by aiding a nation that heretofore preferred Friendship of the communist bloc the . Trampled on the toes of another nation which had been strongly pro West. And with Indian soil being occupied by chinese troops Pakistan can see ample reason Why if should be on Good terms with Reo China. As a result u. S. Diplomats Are faced Rath a critical they must keep Pakistan in the fold. This May be done by s Strong suggestion that u. S. Aid May be withheld. But most Likely the u. S. Will have to buy its Way out by boosting Pakistan s armed strength fee correspond with India Stop 0 the morning the toy fund slips behind usual Pace by em1le j. Hodel Well Mac s toy fund had another of these Only fair Days and As we had warned Here for the last few Days that it might the 1962 Campaign did behind the Pace of 1961. This is terribly disappointing after the wonder Ful Start that made for the 1962 Campaign started off better than any in history. And we have had a lot of really big gifts awfully Early in the Campaign too. The difficulty is that we have not had More than eight gifts in any one Day since they first began to trickle into the office. And the truth is that normally by this time we Are acknowledging As Many As 35 or 40 most Days. We will tip you about one thing and merchants who Deal in the retail Trade will often Tell you the same thing the weather plays a big part in Christmas preparations in this Section. The kind of Beautiful Balmy weather we be been having does t inspire As Many thoughts of Christmas As a sparkling cold Day with a Light covering of Snow. A brisk snowy Day will generally generate More Christmas shopping almost immediately and this seems to be True of toy fund giving As Well. The donors who joined the legion of toy fund friends yesterday Are virtually All regulars who Are on the lists at some Point every year. Included were an Anonymous and generous lady or. W. H. Cunningham of 603 s. Kanawha St., the missionary society of the Ebenezer Baptist Church mrs. Elsie w. Hill treasurer mar Cella Sandra and Donnie Wise Chil Dren of or. And mrs. Donald Wise of 302 Glen ave., mrs. Francis l. Covay of 601 Wood Lawn ave., Young Edwin Boone of Waynesboro va., grandson of or. And mrs. W. 0. Sydnor or. Of 516 Wood Lawn ave., or. And mrs. L. J. Grubb of 227 Vine St. And mrs. Margaret b. Nolan of 1313 s. Kanawha St., with a very Nice and inspiring note these kindly people can be assured that they Are doing a great Deal to make this season a Little bit brighter for tiny rot of a few years and those a Little older up to and including 11-year-Olds when otherwise Christmas might be a somewhat shattering disappointment. We thank them each and every one. Their contributions added to the of till for 1s62 and put the Over All total at that sounds pretty fair of course but when you compare it with last year it s not too Good. This tues Day last year say a report of added to the pot to make a total of so we have been dawdling along Here in the Region of for three Days. There is just no excuse for it. Either. It s pure forgetfulness. We can Tell that the hundreds of Good people who usually Send us a Dollar or two for the old of have been Busy and forgetful. We can Tell merely by counting. There have been approximately 80 donations made to the toy fund thus far. Of these Only 22 have been so and gifts. We need them All of course for last year we ended by spending about More than was contributed even though gifts went Over the goal. Spare a wee bit now we urge that those of you who can spare a wee bit of Cash to spread a wee bit of the spirit of Christmas among the wee ones who Are invited probably More than 2.500 of them again this year should sit right Down now and Send us a Small gift. If just one tenth of one per cent of me Post Herald s readers would do this we would probably have one of our biggest Days of the year. You see there Are nearly 100.000 readers in the families that subscribe to the Post Herald. Just one in every thousand of them is 100, or mighty close to it. So Don t put off sending your dimes or dollars to Mac s toy fund Beckley Post Herald Beckley w. A. They will go a Long Way among the Little ones. And top of the morning to you Beckley Post Herald Beckley a va., tuesday morning december question you keep referring con stantly to the fact that a person can obtain salvation Only by accept ing Christ. Does this mean that peo ple of other religions who do not accept Christ Cannet get j. 0. I believed there were other ways of men to be saved i would proclaim them loudly from the House tops. Jesus Christ the Savior of the world proclaimed the exclusive and uniqueness of his redemption. He said i am the Way the truth and the life no Man cometh unto the father except by i am quite certain that if there have been several ways for men to be saved from sin and ii consequences that the son of god would not. Have left the portals of heaven and subjected himself to tie tortures of crucifixion. Such an act must have neen motivated by a deep compassion and concern for humanity coupled with the knowledge that there was no other Way of reconciling men to god. There is much that is Good in the great philosophies and religions of the i world but the Bible says there is i Only one name under heaven whereby men must be saved and that is through the name of the son of god who loved us and gave himself for us notes on the news listen Frise cd Jnet because we Don t see Eye to Eye on this Ray olo May Washington representative Wright Patman Tex May be the Peck s bad boy of the incoming Congress. In a period in which president Kennedy May be desperately trying to convince business that the party and the administration Are their Best friends Patman May be in a Posi Tion to give bus iness a bumpy time. Representative Patman has Long been chair Man of the Small business com Mittee and As such has Cham. Pinned Small enterprises As strongly As anyone else in con Gress in memory. And As such he has been sharply critical of big business of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve Board. Patman has also been a member of the House banking and currency committee although in this forum lie has not been so bitterly outspoken about big Busi Ness. Chairman of banking and cur Rency has been representative Brent Spence d., having reached the age of 84, Spence declined to run this year. Legislation to permit them to make larger investments in Mort gages now a favorite Field of savings and loan associations and savings Banks. We cannot help but be impressed by the trend toward monopoly in the commercial Bank ing he declared. He said the privileges now accorded com Merical Banks under the Law amounted to a billion a year subsidy. Furthermore he indicated he would favor legislation giving Sav Ings and loan associations authorization for greater Competition with commercial Banks. The associations Are now closely circumscribed in their activities Al though they enjoy tax advantages not granted commercial Banks. Patman said he thought the associations should be allowed to meet a wide Range of family financing which might include personal Loans and instal ment Loans. He added that they should have Power to invest in municipal Bonds. Since Patman is second in seniority on banking and cur Rency he has the option of continuing As chairman of the Small business committee or of resign ing the chairmanship and taking the presiding seat on banking and currency. At this writing he has not indicated his Choice. But the guess ing in Washington is that he will take the new chairmanship. Bank ing and currency is generally considered More important. Further More recent statements by Pat Man indicate he is wanning up vocal chords for a reopening of his verbal warfare on the vested interests. Addressing the National league of insured savings association in san Francisco last week the con Gressman lashed out against com Mercial Banks which Are seeking he also declared he would oppose proposals to prevent the associations from paying higher rates than commercial Banks pay on sayings. At present Many associations especially those in California offer rates close to 5 per cent which Thev can afford because of the High rate they charge on mortgages. If president Kennedy submits a proposal for new banking Laws Patman said i for one will not be stampeded into this sounds like the talk of a Man who plans to take the Bank ins and currency chairmanship. Furthermore Patman is said to be concerned Over the flow of Bank funds As Loans and Pur chases of securities to foreign countries. And an All out investigation of the Federal Reserve system Long talked about could become an embarrassing reality. In Shorf the Texas Congress Man can and probably will make a lot of trouble for John Ken Nedy. Thurman Domestic peace corps seen As Liberal move decision of the Kennedy administration to consider plans for a Domestic peace corps indicates yet another collectivist approach to american problems is in tire of fing. Heading the study committee named by pres ident Kennedy is his brother atty. Gen. Rob Ert Kennedy a known enthusiast of a pea corps for the administration s Battle on the Home front. Other members of the committee Are Secretary of the Interior Ste wart Udall who never misses a publicity project peace corps director Sargent Shriver. The presi Dent s brother in Law welfare Secretary Anthony j. Celebrezze. La Bor Secretary w. Willard Wirtz and housing administrator Rob Ert c. Weaver a negro. There is of course no Public demand for a Domestic peace except among a Small highly vocal band of liberals who relish every Experiment in collective action. But it is not Surpris ing that the administration has taken unto itself the task of Gen crating interest in such an organization. Patched to Mississippi let us say to fraternize with negro farm workers or to engage in a variety of integrated programs. The mobilization of youth in behalf of political objectives is a Standard operating proce Dure of big government. One has Only to remember that the Ger Man government of the 1930s made a very big thing of pick and shovel brigades for Young people. News photos of the time showed Young people marching to the various towns of to rehabilitate the Countryside. It is Well to remember that Chap Ter of German history As the superstate emerges in America and looks about for new Means of youth mobilization. Ultra liberals want a Domestic peace corps because it would be the Ideal their interfering with states and communities. It would serve As a sort of legalized Inte Gration Agency. It is not hard to visualize detachments of let Domestic peace corps being Dis As the Domestic peace corpsmen would be in the Feder Al service they would enjoy the backing of Federal Power and authority. Perhaps even u. S. Marshals would travel along with them on difficult assignments. They could invade peaceful communities and disrupt Normal Cus Toms and Good relations while hiding behind the Federal shield of Protection. One need not straggle to imag Gine what kind of youngsters would be attracted to a peace those want to be on the Road educational tramps and various types of up lift enthusiasts eager to break local Laws and defy customs. No doubt the progressive colleges of the country would be the Princi pal recruiting ground of those who wanted to be crusaders for what they regard As social jus More responsible Young sters would be Busy training for their future careers and would not have time to pin peace corps encampments. No doubt there will be persons who will Praise a Domestic peace corps As a demonstration of pure idealism and constructive civic work. But americans should Bear in mind that a Federal youth corps is not the american approach to state or National prob lems. Organization of regimented platoons of youth workers is characteristic of Russia s Young communist league not of America tend of individualism. The Way to improve the United states is by the action of responsible individuals in Volun Teer Community organizations not by an apparatus of Federal youth workers. Where there Are prob lems of juvenile delinquency slums and so Forth they can be solved by citizens committees churches and other local enter Prises and bodies that my concerned. No state in America need be regarded As a or India desperately in need of an army of youth workers who impose planned reconstruction. Yesterday and memories of old Coal firms of 1900 s by Shirley Donnelly Harry Brown of Alderson and Charley Walters of Beckley Are not the Only men who retain knowledge of the Early Coal operations in the great new River Coal Field of 60 to 65 years ago. Often those who Call Back memories of the Iong ago will ask that their identity be kept secret lest they be thought of As among the ancients. In t it passing strange How everybody wants to live a Long time but nobody wants to be old. That s Why we have Beauty Parlours and men who have really been Here always want their hair if any clipped High around their ears but Back to data on the Coal companies in operation in these parts in 1900. Remember the Raven Coal Coke co. At Carbondale Raven real a place where the Carbon in Coal was in their almost poetic designations. Shipping Point of the Raven Coal Coke co. Was can Nelton across the River from Montgomery. President of this Long gone com Pany was c. C. Sharp. His buyer was w. H. Mclelland. This old company was succeeded by an other known As the National Coal Coke co., also Long gone. On Keeney s Creek in 1901 was the Balsinger. Coal co., with w. H. Holland As manager. His son w. H. Holland jr., was buyer for the firm. Nuttall Burg was the Post office of the Coal concern. Blume Coal co., with David Boone As manager and Rankin Boone As buyer was at Lookout but shipping of their product was by Way of Nuttall Burg. Smokeless Coal .co., John Campbell Mana Ger and Samuel Turner As buyer was on Keeney s Creek and i Nona the Post office. The Roth Well Coal co. Was on Keeney s Creek and h. H. Rothwell was manager. There were Many Coal operations on Pup Creek six dec Ades ago. Collins Colliery co. Was managed by Justus Collins. C. W. Hardy was his buyer. Glen Jean was where they got their mail. Dun Loop Coal Coke co., now Only a memory was at Dun Loop Between Sun and mount Hope. J. B. Me guff in was manager and Thomas Lemon the buyer. Har vey Coal Coke co., now a thing of the past had Bissell As its Post office. Floyd Walker was Mana Ger and Jake Spessard was buyer. Suppose a postmark of Bissell w. A still exists the prudence Coal Coke co. Was near Harvey with j. A. Mcguffin and Jake Spessard holding the same positions As in the har vey company. Mckell Coal Coke co. At Glen Jean was managed by Thomas Nichols. Mcdonald Colliery co. At Macdonald had Samuel Dixon As manager in 1900 and James Fulkner As buyer. Maybe old timers like George Bright of Beckley and Clarence Bishop of Scarbro knew those two worthies at Macdonald. In 1900 Star Coal Coke co., had George w. Jones As manager and his brother c. T. Jones As buyer. Herbert e. Jones son of c. T. Jones lives at Charleston and on Lundale farm at Oak Hill now. He is a Coal Man with extensive operations in Logan county and elsewhere. He is reputedly the largest shipper of Coal Over the c 0. Besides this he owns a Fleet of steamboats and barges on the great Kanawha River and the Ohio. Sugar Creek Coal Coke co. Shipped out of Macdonald and Sam Dixon was manager there too. James Faulkner was his buyer. At Sun was the Sun Coal Coke co. With James Laing As superintendent. F. Howald was the manager and w. N. Jasper was the buyer. Turkey Knob Coal co., was a going concern six decades ago Edward Crickmer was manager at Turkey Knob and Quinn Morton was the buyer. With Glen Jean As the shipping Point there was the White Oak fuel co. With Samuel Dixon As manager and James Faulkner the buyer. All gone Are the men whose names Are written Here today. They had their Day and ceased to be getting closer Home Here in Beckley have a look see at the mines on Piney River. Raleigh Coal Coke co. Had Beckley As Post office and Raleigh on the Piney Branch of the c 0 As its shipping Point. G. Funsten Lucado was president of the company. T. J. Glen Morgan the Secretary and treasurer. Superintendent was p. H. Bunn and the buyer was John Tierney. Then too there was the Stone Wall Coal Coke co. With g. Bruning As president Allen w. Talley Secretary treasurer and f., t. Lee manager. Prince was the Post office and shipping Point. Wright Coal Coke co., used the same Post office and shipping Point but had j. F. Effinger As manager and w. G. Caperton As general manager. How old would those men be if they were yet living C. Boyce managed the big q and the Quinn Mont Coal co. W. A. Brown in 1901 was Mana Ger of Greenwood Coal co. At Lawton and h. Lair was the buyer. John Sullivan was buyer for Laurel Coal Coke co. And w. A. Brown was manager. More Coal company data later. Drew riot Points up Capitol s ugly backyard Washington for the past Quarter Century Washington has basked in its reputation As one of the most Beautiful capitals in the world and tried to ignore the fact that it had an ugly Back Yard. The things you read about in the papers or saw on television featured Lovely ladies in evening gowns going into the White House or Cool Garden parties where uniformed but lers served strawberries and Champagne or exclusive Little dinner dances at the f Street club where lobbyists with Legisla Tion to grind frequently picked up the Check. But on the East Side of 16th Street the Avenue on which the White House faces begins the ugly Side of the Back Yard most people have tried to ignore. There it has t been Safe to walk Down the Street after dark. There streets Are dirty garbage cans kicked Over children play Ball in the streets and people sit on Steps in their undershirts to escape the steaming summer heat inside. This is the Harlem of the nation s capital a Harlem which has expanded into the vacuum left when Middle class Whites moved out to Suburbia until today the area which most people have tried to ignore contains most of the Rev. E. Franklin Jackson chair Man of the local a act lashed out at the rioting in a Sermon the next sunday. We must continue to press for he said but at the same time seek to develop a sense of Simeon Booker of Ebony Orriaga 2jne stated frankly the explosion of hate stemmed mostly from my own but pointed out that the majority of negro spectators were shocked at the Brawl. However the fact remained that this was the worst race riot Washington has seen since the riots immediately after the end of world War i Over 40 years ago. One Spectator told this column we were terrified. There was a Man in the Box below us who kept threatening those who wanted to leave by opening and closing a Large pair of hedge two Catholic priests who tried to break up some of the fights left the stadium with bloody faces. Washington were 100 on unprepared for the riot and hopelessly out numbered. They were convinced this was far More than a school boy riot also convinced that you can t right a wrong in Mississippi with another wrong in Washington. One negro policeman who understands the sentiments of his own people better than White to Hemea said i knew there was going to be trouble. It was sure to come. Even 200 cops could t have handled but what most of the Washington police Don t see. Or else Don t want to remember is that the eruption on thanksgiving Day really goes Back not to Mississippi or Little Rock but to what has been happening right Here in Washington. It goes Back to the ugly Side of the capital of the free world to the Back Yard which most of the people have tried to ignore until its residents have be come most of the people. Fifty four per cent of the capital of the United states today is negro. On thanksgiving Day the people of Washington paid for the fact that they had tried to ignore the ugly Side of their capital paid for the fact that hate had welled up in the hearts of the ugly Resi dents paid not Only for their own neglect but for the hate Engen dered by those howling mobs which had screamed Black and Black on the Campus of Ole miss. A championship football game Between Eastern High Nero and St. John s parochial school Catholic and largely White ended with St. John s the Victor. Immediately negro spectators descended from the grandstand swept across the Field like an angry army and with fists knives rocks and pieces of pipe proceeded to beat up White spectators. The pattern except for the color of the ringleaders resembled the Melee on the Campus of Mississippi. Many of the spectators obviously had a secondary interest in the football game. They would not have brought pieces of pipe otherwise. One of the White students assaulted was Anthony Lausi jr., 16, whose other works for rep Silvio Conti . When he saw a schoolmate being beaten up Lausi went to his defense was pushed aside by two negroes who tried to drag him into the men s room. He managed to escape. The Fellows who went after me weren t High school Lausi said. They were grown men about 27 or 23. They did t have any weapons but i could see others chasing people with knives and broken bottles. A negro Wom an was even beating a White Man Over the head with an that s hew High tempers ran on the ugly Day when americans were supposed to give thanks for their blessings. There were Many negroes who remained in the grandstands and some who went to the defense of the Whites. Afterwards the negro leaders deplored the incident. Indeed the word reconstruction should be borne in mind in viewing the Domestic peace corps idea. Use of such an organization one can be sure would be but an other phase of the massive new reconstruction that the liberals plan for America especially for the Southern states. Interpreting time changes All things by j. M. Roberts associated press news analyst the Story out of Washington monday said a dozen japanese and . Cabinet ministers were meeting to consider closer eco nomic partnership and expanded Trade ties. Twenty one years ago today such a thought would have seemed pretty silly. That Day you will remember a great japanese Fleet was charging silently through the Long swells of the Pacific in a coldly calculated Effort to establish a great new Empire. Everyone knew that Japan was about to make a break some where and that it would eventually involve the United states in War. It had been known since the japanese military expansionist captured the Tokyo government in october. But there was misjudgment about where the blow would fall planning had not covered All contingencies men relied on judg ments instead of considering the outside Chance. A great Fleet and men died at Pearl Harbor on dec. 7. But it was not Only americans who misjudged. A year later a Small awestruck group of men gathered on a Squash court at the University of Chicago and Man s control of the Power of the atom became a fact. The Axis Powers had made the biggest mistake of All. But times do change. The Axis enemies of 21 years ago now make common cause with the Western allies in an Effort not Only to improve their own relations but to Stop the advances of a different enemy. For a time at least the atom provides the background not yet the major weapon of a new Type of War. Men who were at each other s throats such a Short time ago now cooperate respect and frequently like each other. The centuries old cockpit of Europe begins to produce a oneness. But a War had to be won be fore these processes could begin. There had to be an imposed conviction on some countries that what they were doing could not pay. New and old weapons of death and physical destruction were required then weapons of a different sort May be required now but another War will have to be definitely won be fore a new Leavening can find dough in which to work. And in the meantime human judgments of this or that still cannot be a substitute for the covering of All contingencies.
