This, however, may un-derstate Kennedy's strength, since my interviewing thus far has not taken me into Northern West Virginia, which has an appreciable Catholic population. Also, some puzzling crosscurrents have shown up. Of eight mining camps I visited, Humphrey was well ahead in five, and Kennedy in three. In each camp one of the candidates was favored heavily. Just why some mining camps should solidify around Kennedy and others around Humphrey still puzzles me.

I found less anti-Catholic talk in villages with community churches than where there was a tf on denominational church. several camps the only, noticeable difference seemed to be the organizational work being done or'the money being spent on behalf of one or the other candidates. Southern Tradition One county sampled Braxton is steeped In southern traditions. Only once in 1920 has it voted for a Republican President. Among the farmers to whom I talked, Kennedy was quite strong, largely, It developed, because of a feeling that Humphrey1 "is too friendly to Negroes." But in the equally southern-oriented city of Sutton, little racial feeling was voiced.

A dozen random interviews on the main street yielded two Republicans, nine Humphrey supporters and one Kennedy man. The courthouse clerk sported a Humphrey button and had Humphrey literature spread across his desk. Several townspeople explained, "Around here we like Lyndon Johnson. We're for Humphrey to stop Kennedy." The widespread anti-Catholic talk has stirred some sympathy for Kennedy. In Charleston one Union Carbide worker felt, "We should be voting for a man's brain, not his church." Key tff Situation Probably the key to whether Kennedy can pull up from behind, in the week of campaigning still left will be found in hi3 success or failure in identifying himself with the deep desire for economic change that dominates the southern half of the state.

In Stotesbury, where the mine is "blowed out," I noticed a neat name plate on one door. It seemed strange to find this symbol of family pride in what was virtually a ghost town. The woman who came to the door explained that her husband had been a foreman in the local mine before it shut down. He had gotten a job at another mine but "one of his lungs fiared up. at 46 years of age "no one will give him Can you find 10 traffic hazards at I a job.

They say he would cost too much in disability insurance." "We're for Kennedy be cause he's a voung man," she added, "this part of in this picture? the country needs a new start." Man of Hope' In Stotesbury Kennedy had somehow established himself as. "the man who has given us hope." But in other communities I found (Each hazard Is located by letter and by number.

But keep in mind that perceiving a traffic hazard is not enough. A good driver is always prepared to take instant action to avoid trouble. Like all good citizens, Shell is interested in safety. We urge you to be alert, drive carefully, know the rules-and obey them. Remember: about 75 of all accidents are caused by the driver-not the car.
