One Miner's Reaction: Don'f Give A Damn 1 HARTS, W. Va. AP) Billy Duty has been staying close to home during the miners' weeklong memorial vacation, enjoying life with Iva Jean and the kids. "I've been reading in the Logan Banner what the coal operators are saying," he said Tuesday in his dining room just over the mountain from Little Harts Creek. "This week is giving those operators a taste of what might happen later on." He turned the page and read Federal Energy Administrator John C.

Sawhill's statement about the need for maintaining U.S. coal production. "I don't give a damn about the Federal Energy Administration or the president after Ford or the one before him," said Duty, who digs coal for Bethlehem Mines Corp. at Jeffry in Boone County. "They don't care whether I've got anything to eat on my table and I don't care about them." In addition to being a miner at Bethlehem's No.

His First Car Totalled 1st Day SAN DIEGO (AP) Who needs a driver's license? Not George Nelson. After managing for 50 years without driving a car, the San Diego man got a driver's license last week and bought a new car.

He drove it around the block once and parked it in front of his house, then went to his job at a clothing store. When he returned home that night he met another new driver, a teen-age girl who had just driven around the block and squarely into the back of Nelson's new car. His insurance company says it's a total loss. Land Mark Building Full Service Prescription Dept. Drouth damaged lawn? Phone us or stop in today.

WESTLAKE'S 581-4824 Scotts retailer chairman of his mine safety committee. "Most of the men don't want the safety job," he said, running a hand through his curly red hair and grinning. "They're afraid the company will be mad, but I don't care.

The coal companies don't give a damn if I get killed under that mountain. They'll just drive over my body to get at that coal." Duty is self-admittedly outspoken, but he says spending 28 of his nearly 45 years in the mines have left him with a lot of scars and few illusions. He said he supported UMW President Arnold Miller before Miller's election and also after, but is waiting to see "what kind of contract he gets us. That'll tell the story." Many in the coal industry believe the approaching contract deadline was the real reason Miller called the memorial vacation. As for the upcoming contract, Duty said, "I don't like to tell them what I want in it.

Dental and eye care should be added to the health care, for one thing. What good's money these days?" He aggravated a back injury last month and probably wouldn't have worked this week even if the mines had been open, but he says the week's layoff can only strengthen the union's bargaining position. "I thought this week was a good idea," he said. "But some of the men were a little disgruntled. They wanted to know why the hell Arnold couldn't have waited until squirrel season."
