Coal mining future looks bright says coal official
Tom Pickett executive vice president of the National Coal Association spoke at the University of Missouri arguing that coal will return to households and industry. He cited coal as a major future electricity source, with the utility sector likely to consume more coal than railroads and households combined within ten years. He noted atomic power may grow alongside coal but not directly compete in electricity generation soon. He emphasized cost advantages of present methods over atomic options and urged private investment over government competition. He warned of residual fuel oil and natural gas competition while stressing coal's 90 percent share of known recoverable fuel resources and urged bipartisan policy to expand coal’s market share.

Beckley News Reels Through Crashes Blocked by Cars and Hearts
Mr and Mrs Charles C Farmer narrowly escaped a deadly collision near Moundsville en route to Pittsburgh on November 21. The pair were treated for head cuts and possible rib fracture before continuing their trip. A 15 or 16 year old Benwood student was involved in the other vehicle. In Beckley, Harold Lee underwent a pioneering heart operation at Pinecrest Sanatorium using a rib artery technique linked to Dr Morris O Dell.

It Seems Like Yesterday 10 Years Ago and 20 Years Ago
Ten years ago in a five day conference Roosevelt Churchill and Chiang Kai shek pledged to defeat Japan unconditionally as Korea awaited independence amid jubilant mood. Demoralized German troops retreated toward Rome while miners and operators clashed over wage talks. Twenty years ago the Home Owners Loan Corporation approved 1098 loans totaling 2 837 620 in West Virginia.

Navy Secretary Swanson urged building a navy to match other powers and Rutherford Sanitarium approved a farm clearing project with grubbers at work on unused land.
