1854 RETAIL RULES
The following set of employee rules set up by an American store in 1854 was quoted in an issue of the Northwestern Miller and given to us by Layton Beverage:
1. Store must be opened promptly at 6 a.m. and remain open until 9 p.m. the year round.
2. Store must be swept, counters, base shelves and showcases dusted. Lamps trimmed, filled, and chimneys cleaned; pens made; doors and windows opened; a pail of water and a scuttle of coal must be brought in by each clerk, before breakfast, if there is time to do so and attend to the customers who call.
3. Store must not be opened on the Sabbath day unless absolutely necessary and then only for a few minutes.
4. Any employee who is in the habit of smoking Spanish cigars, getting shaved at a barber shop, going to dances and other places of amusement, will most surely give his employer reason to be suspicious of his integrity and all-around honesty.
5. Each employee must pay not less than $5.00 per year to the church and must attend Sunday School every Sunday.
6. Men employees are given one evening a week off for courting and two if they go to prayer meeting regularly.

MARLINTON TOWN COUNCIL
Bob Dunz appeared asking for additional work on the road on Greenbrier Hill.
Police Judge William McNeil recommended marking the police car, but the police think the light, etc., will reduce resale value. He reported still not all are parallel parking and cars are parked on wrong sides of the street.
Public telephone booths should be kept up with lights, etc.
Request was made for a donation of a parking permit for the Senior Citizen bus.
It was voted to mark both sides of Third Avenue for parallel parking in the business section. Council voted to make an application for a federal grant for a new water pumping and purification plant.
Frank Hill presented a plan for improving visibility on the cemetery road with labor help from the Forest Service and contributions from organizations. Mr. Hill volunteered his services to coordinate the work. The Lions, Rotary Club, Woman’s Club, Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, Mountaineers for Rural Progress among others have stated their interest in this.
The 1969 police car was sold to Ralph Dunbrack, Sr. for $140. The log cabin was sold to Lance H. Kelly for $1,450, auctioned by Gilbert Jack, whose services were donated and appreciated.
