William Quirk, 128 North Emerick street, Shenandoah, is celebrating his birthday. On the ice skating rink where a few good Samaritans had the foresight to push the freshly fallen snow, skaters glided across the icy surface.

Blades made clacking and whooshing sounds and now and again came a "thump" someone went down for the count. This didn't exactly dampen their spirits though because in less than 10 seconds fallen skaters were off their seats and on their feet. One stately gentleman, evi dently a seasoned skater, gave a performance of figure eights, short leaps and fancy steps that come onlv with practice. Among the skaters, an obvious novice bundled wooly from top to bottom was having a great deal of trouble maneuvering either because of her wooly confinement which saved a few bruises each fall down or because of her age which I guess at almost five. Small wonder that her tears didn't turn to icy droplets.

Teens who either considered themselves too "grown up" for sledding or unsure of their ice skating stand up power, came and went as spectators. Just about everyone was out doors and took advantage of this rare sunshiney winter day with the same thought in the back of their minds "who knows what tomorrow will And just look out the window if you've managed to get yourself out of bed.

Two Washington attorneys, William C. Hart and Gordon F.

Harrington, were named only last week to represent Vealey after he filed papers noting he had no funds to hire an attorney. The next term of court starts Jan. 18, but there is no possibility his counsel would be ready to start by that date, and a contnuance will be granted as a matter of course by President Judge Charles G. Sweet. Pleas for a change of venue, and others challenging the state's case on technical and constitutional grounds, also are expeoted, so that it likely will be months before the trials start.

Selection of the jury is expected to take many days Local sources say that if 'coal miners and their families are excused for cause, it may be almost impossible to empanel five juries in the cases.
