beg~ns. The pre-parade judging
of floats only will be held at 5 p.
m. First place winners in four
categories - theme, "The
Place to be in '73"; frog theme,
commercial
and
noncommercial - will receive
large trophies.
A record number of bands is
expected for this year's parade
with Charles Minelli of the Ohio
University instrumental music
department judging them from
the Meigs Inn porch. Bands
will be competing for trophies
in three top positions in three
categories based on the
enrollment of the participating
school in the upper three
grades.
A number of certificates will
. be awarded in this year's
parade to walking individuals
and horse mounted entries.
Bator\ and drum and bugle
corps groups will be presented
plaques.
Heading this year's parade
are Dwight Goins, . band

Dear Editor :
I would like to express a few words about the Regatta we are
having in Meigs County.
.
I think it is a wonderful amusement for old and young when
they had it the last two years. But I read in the paper a while back
where they was going to have a bull in the program ! Now what
are the boys trying to do, make a mess out of the thing? I don 't
think bulls or bull fighting would be a thing to bring in with a frog
jumping contest.
When this thing came along Mr. Crow had it incorporated as
a Bull Frog Incorporation, if I am right. I don 't think Mr. Crow
wanted to bring bulls into this affair.
I think you boys had a wonderful program the way you had it
when Mr. Crow was in charge . If some one has a bull they want to
display I know the fair board at Rock Springs Fairgrounds would
be glad to have it out at the Meigs County Fair. Besides, if I'm
any judge of bull flesh the picture they had published r~ently of
a "bull" was lacking certain requirements bulls are know to
ca~.
.
I see in the Western States and in California where they have
Cockroach racing. I listen to it on radio. The way the crowds
Sf;!em to cheer them roaches over the radio I believe something
like that would be more interesting than bulls. But nevertheless,
you boys are taking care of the Regatta, not me. And I sure wish
you all a great success at it.
.·
I sure do believe in entertainment, but I hope you fellows
keep the bulls (?) where they belong. .
.
I sure would like to see the Frog Bus m the parade this year. I
think it was as safe as some of' the cars that travel down Third
Ave. here in Middleport.
Well, I guess I have found enough fault. But always keep this
in mind I am behind the Regatta 100percent.
I j~t want to tell 'Mr. Crow and all the rest, "let's keep
Pomeroy a better place to live and enjoy ourselves and keep the
Bulls out of town! "
Yours truly, Ben Batey.

MRS. DAVID REISER, Amesville, president of the Textile Arts Gttild demonstrates
weaving technique. The guild will have a show and sale at the Meigs Museum on Heritage
Sunday, June 17, during Regatta Weekend.

Dear Editor :
I would like to express a few words about the Regatta we are
having in Meigs County.
.
I think it is a wonderful amusement for old and young when
they had it the last two years. But I read in the paper a while back
where they was going to have a bull in the program ! Now what
are the boys trying to do, make a mess out of the thing? I don 't
think bulls or bull fighting would be a thing to bring in with a frog
jumping contest.
When this thing came along Mr. Crow had it incorporated as
a Bull Frog Incorporation, if I am right. I don 't think Mr. Crow
wanted to bring bulls into this affair.
I think you boys had a wonderful program the way you had it
when Mr. Crow was in charge . If some one has a bull they want to
display I know the fair board at Rock Springs Fairgrounds would
be glad to have it out at the Meigs County Fair. Besides, if I'm
any judge of bull flesh the picture they had published r~ently of
a "bull" was lacking certain requirements bulls are know to
ca~.
.
I see in the Western States and in California where they have
Cockroach racing. I listen to it on radio. The way the crowds
Sf;!em to cheer them roaches over the radio I believe something
like that would be more interesting than bulls. But nevertheless,
you boys are taking care of the Regatta, not me. And I sure wish
you all a great success at it.
.·
I sure do believe in entertainment, but I hope you fellows
keep the bulls (?) where they belong. .
.
I sure would like to see the Frog Bus m the parade this year. I
think it was as safe as some of' the cars that travel down Third
Ave. here in Middleport.
Well, I guess I have found enough fault. But always keep this
in mind I am behind the Regatta 100percent.
I j~t want to tell 'Mr. Crow and all the rest, "let's keep
Pomeroy a better place to live and enjoy ourselves and keep the
Bulls out of town! "
Yours truly, Ben Batey.

MRS. DAVID REISER, Amesville, president of the Textile Arts Gttild demonstrates
weaving technique. The guild will have a show and sale at the Meigs Museum on Heritage
Sunday, June 17, during Regatta Weekend.

No ·reasons
for living
By T0:\1 TIEDE

!\'EW YORK- 1 EA J - It
was a neighbor who first
called the police . She said
she had not seen the old man
in the next apartment for a
week .
" He 's in a wheelchair and
I can usually hear hi~ moving around .· but it' s been
quiet for days ."
\\'hen o f f i c e r s broke
through the locked door they
found the body of a 75-yearold man slumped in a heap
on the linoleum floor . A shutin with no friends or relati\·es . he had killed himself
with an overdose of pills ,
then lay undetected. until he
wa s finall y missed .
The story is depressingly
familiar in America . Alone ,
depressed , often sick and unwan ted . the nation 's elderly
1 especially men J are taking
their own lives with alarming regularity . Statistics in
The World Almanac indicate
that the suicide rate in. 1967
for men 65 and over is 38.1
for every 100.000. s e v e n
points higher than men in
the 45-60 category and nearly twice the total of men in
the 19-44 age grouping.
\\'hat 's more . the statistics
increase as do the years be\'Ond 65. Dr. Norman Farbei·ow, director of the Los Angele Suicide Pre\·e ntion
League. says the 65 and
above rate in Ca lifornia is
as high as 60 per 100,000 and
grows to 65 for people 75 and
older . It sta nds to reason,
add s Farber ow: the older
one ge ts . the more the
chance for deep depression
and the wish to ge t life over

And ge nerally . the elderly
suicides do get it O\'er with

a bullet in the head . The seriousness of their intent is
thus part of the problem-it
makes helping them t h a t
much more difficult .

Gardens ,
Mrs . Clyde Mitchell of
Zanesville will be the flower
show judge and the oral
judging by the standard
system will begin at 1 p.m. on
Saturday.
All exhibits must be staged
~tween 9 a.m.· and 12 noon
Saturday and no exhibits may
be removed until Sunday between 4 and 6 p.m.
The show will be open for
viewing by the public on
Saturday from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.
and on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Helping them . indeed, is a
baffling enigma for those
concerned . Farberow says
that old people with problems are somewhat I i k e
young people with problems ,
in that " you have to help
them solve their problems ,"
but this is easier said than
done with the elderly . A
young man's problem may
be marital or economic 1two
common crises heard bv suicide pre\'ention people ) and
may be corrected with the
application of common remedies . As for the aged , however . says Harry Warren of
New York 's :\ational Save
A Life League :
·'They call in here . 70-7580 years old . Maybe they 're
in wheelchairs . Maybe they
have terminal cancer. Ma ybe their relati ves are . gone
and their friends deadf What
can you say to peop e like
this to make them feel any
better ?"
There seems to be little
anyo ne can say. In fa ct, it is
not absolutely certain that
society wants to say anything. Man y geriatric specialists agree that society
gives older people precious
little reason to live , and in
fa ct feels it would be better
if they were out of the wa y.
"People ." w r o t e Ogden
·ash, ·· expect old men to
die; they look at them with
eyes that wonder when .''
This is not to say society
want s the old folk s to cut
their throats. but there is
substantial evidence t h a t
public apathy and prejudice
for the old often force exact- .
ly that.
Says L. A.'s Farberow : ' 'I
think it is true that we make
it very hard for the elderly
to live happil y. As a nation
we have tended to eulogize
and overpraise the you ng,
and ignore the old . We force
people to retire at certa in
ages , thus force them to resign , in man y cases , at the
peak of the functionin g pow. er.s . We force them to accept
a less contributory existence
and man y of them just can 't
do it. "
There are a lot of reasons
for suicide among the aged ,
Farberow adds , but the most
important is this loss of en gagement, of self-estee m.
" What we do to the old , in
other words, is to take away
their reason for living..,
That reason. too often, is
not onl y " self,esteem" but
" youth ." America , the land
where over 30 is considered
the beginning of a terminal
disease , is a civilization
where people say they would
rather die than grow old.
Actually, in a study by Robert Kastenbaum (concerning
student attitudes toward old
age}, 25 per cent of the respondents said they wanted
to die before they expected
to die . " I suppose," says
Kastenbaum , " they didn't
want to become enfeebled or
whatever."
·
The fear of enfeeblement
is quite natural. H. L. Mencken said that " No show is

IJiing down boulevards (for
lack of transportation) , sitting on park benches (in the
absence of meaningful activity}, and struggling with

The sight of all thi s is
deeply disturbing to you ngs(ers; no wonder they fea r

the inPvitable end.
Unfortunately, so it continues , the end for some is
worse than for others . Dr .
Robert Butler, consultant to
the White House Conference
on Aging, tells of an elderly
hospital patient who would
stand for hours criticizing
his refl ection in a mirror .
then later den y totall y that
the image was his. Like so
m a n y in America . comlitioned to think yo un g, he
could not admi t the alternll tive . As W. Somerset Maugham once wrote: "W hat
makes old age hard to IJI:'a r
ik not the fadin g of one's
faculties, but the burden of
one's memories."
Therefore . for man y, in
today's careless world , suicide is the onl y solution. Accordin g to sta-tistics . a man
of i5 can expect to Jive eight

like the fellow in the first

Helping them . indeed, is a
baffling enigma for those
concerned . Farberow says
that old people with problems are somewhat I i k e
young people with problems ,
in that " you have to help
them solve their problems ,"
but this is easier said than
done with the elderly . A
young man's problem may
be marital or economic 1two
common crises heard bv suicide pre\'ention people ) and
may be corrected with the
application of common remedies . As for the aged , however . says Harry Warren of
New York 's :\ational Save
A Life League :
·'They call in here . 70-7580 years old . Maybe they 're
in wheelchairs . Maybe they
have terminal cancer. Ma ybe their relati ves are . gone
and their friends deadf What
can you say to peop e like
this to make them feel any
better ?"
There seems to be little
anyo ne can say. In fa ct, it is
not absolutely certain that
society wants to say anything. Man y geriatric specialists agree that society
gives older people precious
little reason to live , and in
fa ct feels it would be better
if they were out of the wa y.
"People ." w r o t e Ogden
·ash, ·· expect old men to
die; they look at them with
eyes that wonder when .''
This is not to say society
want s the old folk s to cut
their throats. but there is
substantial evidence t h a t
public apathy and prejudice
for the old often force exact- .
ly that.
Says L. A.'s Farberow : ' 'I
think it is true that we make
it very hard for the elderly
to live happil y. As a nation
we have tended to eulogize
and overpraise the you ng,
and ignore the old . We force
people to retire at certa in
ages , thus force them to resign , in man y cases , at the
peak of the functionin g pow. er.s . We force them to accept
a less contributory existence
and man y of them just can 't
do it. "
There are a lot of reasons
for suicide among the aged ,
Farberow adds , but the most
important is this loss of en gagement, of self-estee m.
" What we do to the old , in
other words, is to take away
their reason for living..,
That reason. too often, is
not onl y " self,esteem" but
" youth ." America , the land
where over 30 is considered
the beginning of a terminal
disease , is a civilization
where people say they would
rather die than grow old.
Actually, in a study by Robert Kastenbaum (concerning
student attitudes toward old
age}, 25 per cent of the respondents said they wanted
to die before they expected
to die . " I suppose," says
Kastenbaum , " they didn't
want to become enfeebled or
whatever."
·
The fear of enfeeblement
is quite natural. H. L. Mencken said that " No show is

Unfortunately, so it continues , the end for some is
worse than for others . Dr .
Robert Butler, consultant to

The view from
Custer Land
By TOM TIEDE
C R 0 W RESERVATION .
Mo nt . - I NEA 1 - The last
time the re was a war here
it was Indians vs. whites, the
battle of the Little Big Horn
which the Indians won. The
next time there is a wa r
h e r ~. it may very well be
Indians vs . India ns, a battle
betwee n moderates and m ili. ta nts which nobody will win.
' The second battle is not actua lly forecast. Right now it
is only speculation . Many
nervous residents here believe this reservation may be
the next target for an Americ an Indian Movement demonstration , protest , di sruption , ta keover or , perhaps,
war.
The spec ulation has some
merit. AIM radicals, who
last year seized the Bureau
of Indian Affairs in Washington, and who recently lifted a
70-day · siege of Wounrted
Knee , S.D., have repeatedly
warned that such activities
will continue . Says a spokes.nan : " The idea has been to
focu s attention on the problem s of American Indians ;
now that we have the attention we can't just Jet it fade ."
Thus AIM will doubtless
strike again.
And the Crow Reservation
seems a likely possibility .
Tucked away in southeastern
Montana, only a few hundred miles from Wounded
Knee, actually, the reser va-

tion is a national shame, a
showcase of historic Indian
p I i g h t. Impover is hed. exploited, aimless, the Crow
land a nd people are microcos ms of all that has fa iled
in India n management .
To begin with there is the
twisting of history here. Littie Big Horn, as every schoolchild knows, is the site of
Col. George Custer's " last
stand ." It has been commem orated in media reports, film versions and tel(tbooks as the courageous
Thermopylae of a heroic
band of U.S. cavalrymen .
In reality, say local his torians , it · was the Indians
who were courageous and,
don 't forget, victorious. Says
Crow tribal secretary Frederick Left Hand : " Custer
was sent out to murder Indians on their traditional
and legal homeland. The Indians did what anyone would
do in such a case - defend
themselves . But do we commemorate the Indian defense of home and property ?
No, we commemorate Custer 's death while trying to invade and pillage and murder."
True enough . The U.S.

Duffield is probably one of
the few people who have fallen
in Jove with a parade float,
turned it into a hobby, and has
now gone commercial with it.
Duffield, as he.ad of a cub scout
troop, decided to design a float
for his scouts to ride in the
Olmsted Falls Homecoming
Parade five or six years ago.
The result was a riverboat
float, complete with a working
calliope, made from old organ
pipes and a vacuum cleaner.
A native of southern Ohio,
Duffield remem~red the old
calliopes of the carnivals and
riverboats and has toured the
country looking at them,
sometimes playing them if he
gets the chance. He has played
the instrument at many carnivals and aboard old riverboats such as the Cincinnatibased, "Delta Queen. "
During his travels, Duffield

Calliope, real love
(Continued from Page 19)
Duffield has his calliope
(pronounced calley-ope by
carnival and riverboat people,
he says) .
The calliope has 43 whistles
made of brass pipes ranging in
height from five inches to two
feet and in diameter from
seven~ights of an inch to three
and a half inches. Duffield says
he had to rebuild some parts,
restore others and improvise
on even more. The cabinet, the
valves, and the keyboard all
had to be rebuilt.
There are two types of
calliopes - steam and air explains Duffield. "The steam
type was popular on the old
riverboats where there was a
boiler and a fire," he said. He
estimates there are only about
a dozen steam calliopes left in
the United States. The air

variety, the kind Myron
Duffield has, became popular
with carnivals and circuses between 1910 and 1930, he relates.
"It was more practical to plug
in a motor than to build a fire in
a boiler," Duffield said.
Duffield has recently
completed the restoration of an
old circus wagon which carries
the calliope and its costumed
player . The wagon is capable
of being drawn by horse or
vehicle. When Duffield isn 't
restoring calliopes or wagons,
he works as the east central
regional manager for RCA in
Cleveland. He and his wife
Laura have two children, Jeff,
17, and Kathy, 14. The Duffields are no strangers to the
Meigs C!&gt;unty area. Laura
Duffield is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Seines, 325
Lincoln Street, Middleport ,
where she was born and raised.

I'd like to work in town

wouldn't hire me because I
didn't have enough work experience. I asked him how I
could get the experience if
nobody would give me a job, .
but he didn't answer. I had
to laugh at that."
The laughter here is bitter. Frederick Left Hand says
that he sometimes thinks
"we s h o u I d do the same
thing to the whites as they've
done to us-wipe them out."
Yet for all the hostility, 'the
poverty' and exploitation,
there is virtually no interest
here in becoming another

So if you really want to get

At that. Indian ownership

is unprofitable. Though sev- ·

Calliope, real love
(Continued from Page 19)
Duffield has his calliope
(pronounced calley-ope by
carnival and riverboat people,
he says) .
The calliope has 43 whistles
made of brass pipes ranging in
height from five inches to two
feet and in diameter from
seven~ights of an inch to three
and a half inches. Duffield says
he had to rebuild some parts,
restore others and improvise
on even more. The cabinet, the
valves, and the keyboard all
had to be rebuilt.
There are two types of
calliopes - steam and air explains Duffield. "The steam
type was popular on the old
riverboats where there was a
boiler and a fire," he said. He
estimates there are only about
a dozen steam calliopes left in
the United States. The air

variety, the kind Myron
Duffield has, became popular
with carnivals and circuses between 1910 and 1930, he relates.
"It was more practical to plug
in a motor than to build a fire in
a boiler," Duffield said.
Duffield has recently
completed the restoration of an
old circus wagon which carries
the calliope and its costumed
player . The wagon is capable
of being drawn by horse or
vehicle. When Duffield isn 't
restoring calliopes or wagons,
he works as the east central
regional manager for RCA in
Cleveland. He and his wife
Laura have two children, Jeff,
17, and Kathy, 14. The Duffields are no strangers to the
Meigs C!&gt;unty area. Laura
Duffield is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Seines, 325
Lincoln Street, Middleport ,
where she was born and raised.

didn't have enough work experience. I asked him how I
could get the experience if
nobody would give me a job, .
but he didn't answer. I had
to laugh at that."
The laughter here is bitter. Frederick Left Hand says
that he sometimes thinks
"we s h o u I d do the same
thing to the whites as they've
done to us-wipe them out."
Yet for all the hostility, 'the
poverty' and exploitation,

Senior citizens
readying wares
for craft fair
By CHARLENE HOEFLICH
At the Senior Citizens Center
in Pomeroy it's not those lazy,
hazy, crazy days of swnmer we
sing about.
It's hustle, bustle, do your
thing, the time is almost here.
The senior citizens are going
to have a craft fair on Regatta
Weekend and they're busy as
beavers preparing their wares.
The scene is one of tables
everywhere filled with . a ·
variety of things ranging from
egg cartons to art foam with
the men and women chatting
with each other as they go
about the business of creating
useful and decorative items for
the fair.
The fair has a dual purpose.
The first is to give th~ public
the chance to see the Center
and what is done there in the
way of instruCting senior
citizens on how to make con·
structive use of their time.
The second purpoSe is to
provide a market for items
made not only at the center but
in ihe homes of the senior
citizens ·of the county.
Some items will be for

display only, while many will
be for sale. The fair , open all
three days of the Regatta , and
on both Friday and Saturday
evenings, provides a much
needed opportunity for the men
and women to show what they
can do and perhaps find a
market to increase their income.
All of the proceeds from the
sale of items made with
materials provided through the
Council on Aging will be used to
purchase more materials and
other supplies.
Those persons bringing
articles made at home with
their own materials will be
asked to contribute a small
percentage to the Center fund .
Donations will be taken on
three items during the craft
fair . There is a beautiful red ·
tulip quilt, the top for which
was made and donated by
Charles Hilton of Portland, a
handcarved ·dancing "Colonel
Snnclers" made by James
l!u~s, and a handmade rocker.
These will be awarded when
the Center closes on Regatta

Last stone men
to show skills
Two of the last "stone men"
in this area will demonstrate
their skills at cutting and
facing stone throughout the
afternoon on "Heritage Sun. day", June 17 of Regatta
Weekend at The Meigs County
Museum, .Butternut Avenue,
Pomerov. Fred Tuckerman of
RD 4, Pomeroy (Wolfe ~en)
and Floyd Burney, RD 3 on
Route 33, Pomeroy, life-long
residents of Meigs County, are
skilled in work with rock, from
the finding and quarrying of
good rock, through the cutting,
and finally the building of good
sound walls and other rock
structures. They say that good
rock is scarce in Meigs County,
the only fine grained rock
being found below Chester near
the Shade River. "Tuck" and
"Berney" have been friends
for a long time and talk of the
quality of stone, its grain, its
siz!l - like a carpenter fondly
talks of a fine piece of wood.
The last five years or so before
their retirement they worked
together for Meigs County,
building rock walls and
bridges . The last stone bridge
was built by the county nearly
five years ago near Gold
Ridge .
Fred Tuckerman has Jived

on his farm in Wolfe Pen on
Route 143 for 46 years now. He
has always been a farmer, but
the last sixteen years before he
retired, he worked for the
county doing mostly stone
work. He and Mr. Burney built
the big stone wall at the Meigs
County Fairgrounds, which
they refer to with pride. Mr.
Tuckerman said the wall fell
down the first time they built it
because they were instructed
to use stone which was too
small. After it fell down within
a few weeks, they searched for
the proper rock and the
resulting second wall has been
standing ever since. Fred
Tuckerman retired three years
ago, and since has been farming on a small scale and
doing a Jot of house and roof
painting. Presently he is a
guard at Forest Acre Park.
Floyd Burney was raised and
lived most of his life in
Rutland, until twelve years ago
when he moved to his home on
Route 33. He started to work in
the coal mines in Rutland at
age thirteen and worked for the
Essex Coal Company, Mayer
Coal Company, and the Sunday
Creek Coal Company for th'irty
years. During the depression
he worked for Dr. Boice, when

he first started to Jearn to cut
rock. Mr. Burney also worked
for the Miller Screen Door
Company in Middleport for
thirty years, constructing and
hauling screen doors, and

doing construction work,
especially work with stone. For
the last five years before his
· retirement, Floyd Burney
worked for the county as a
stone mason. Now "Tuck"

and "Burney" are coming· out
of retirement, sharpening their
picks, and looking for some
good stone so that they may
