people, it will answer the question of
what the NAACP is doing today to
address the major problems of our
times. I think they will be very pleas-
ed and will want to become involved

and the Eastern Panhandle to get
behind the NAACP, which has done so

the most exciting radio stations in this
section of the State and we look for-
ward to a significant increase in
membership.
The National Raothon is being
chaired by Percy Sutton, President of

Jail Costs Are
Big Consider00
Cost was no consideration when
operating standards for the new
regional jail in Martinsburg were com-
piled by a special committee and
ultimately adopted by the West
Virginia Legislature.
This was the explanation given
Eastern Panhandle officials by A.V.
Doddrill, Jr., state corrections com-
missioner, at a meeting in Mar-
tinsburg Tuesday.
His explanation was echoed by
William White, Doddrilrs appointee to
the standards commission, who said
the group worked on the regulations
for 18 months and that the primary
consideration was not costlmt setting
standards that are the state of the art.
The regional jail, which serves
Berkeley, Morgan and Jefferson, is
scheduled to begin operation early in
1989. When it does, it will house
