BY BOB HOEFLICH
POMEROY - Somewhere over the
rainbow, bluebirds fly. And -somewhere
upriver in the Great Bend area is Meigs
County's pioneer cemetery.
However, unless detective work is
"your thing," do enlist the aid of a Great
Bend resident if you wish to find the old,
neglected cemetery which overlooks the
Ohio River.
Preservation of the cemetery, which is
grown up with brush and covered with
fallen limbs, was a problem some 90 years
ago. It's still a problem today.
Especially concerned with the
problem is the Meigs County Pioneer and
Historical Society which has appointed a
committee to see if the Lebanon Township
cemetery can be cleaned up and maintained attractively as a place of historical
interest in Meigs County.
The small plot of land - the burial
spot for a pioneer who transported the U.
S. mail via canoe, a sister to the first
president of Ohio University, and othersis located at the rear of what is known as
the Proffitt farm in Great Bend. It is adjacent to the Clair Boso farm.
Apparently owned by Lebanon

II Carrier Buried in 18291

Township, having been deeded to the
township in 1892 by Mrs. Emeline L.
Bicknell, who charged that the grantees
were "to have and to hold and to protect
from any desecration the above described
graveyard forever," the cemetery has
been long neglected. As near as can be
determined no one has been buried in it
since 1860, and possibly earlier.
Among those in the old burial ground
are Abigail Lindley, a sister of the first
president of Ohio University, credited with
being the first person to drive a carriage
from Athens to Great Bend, and George
Warth, an Indian scout and U. S. mail
carrier from the fort at Marietta in 1795.
Although dimmed by time, the Warth
gravestone still stands as does that of
Isaac Laveaux Roberts. These are the two
larger ones. Other smaller grave markers
are practically lost in the underbrush.
Marked with the Masonic emblem, the
Roberts' tombstone reads:
"My coffin, shroud and grave, I have
in store.
'Tis all I need and kings can have no
more."
According to the information on the
stone, Roberts died on July 17, 1829 at the

age of 50.
Although Warth died Dec. 24, 1838, his
grave was not marked until 1880 and this
was through the efforts of the local pioneer
society which felt that tribute should be
paid to the mail carrier. The society raised
$37.50 to pay for the marker. The
gravestone notes that Warth was born in
1775. The stone is decorated with the
outline of a canoe with a rifle at the front of
the craft to denote Warth's work as an
Indian scout and mail carrier.
The Warth Family history is an interesting one. Early history books on
Meigs County report:
"During the Indian war there came to
the stockade in Marietta a man named
George Warth, his wife, two daughters and
five sons, John, George, Robert, Martin
and Alexander. They came from Virginia,
brought up in the woods, and were all fine
hunters.
"John and George were employed as
rangers or spies for Fort Harmar. The
family lived in a log house on the first
bottoms between the river and the
garrison built by the United States troops
for the artificers to work in. George Warth
married Ruth Fleehart and John Warth
married Sally Fleehart, sisters of Joshua
Fleehart, and Robert Warth married the
daughter of a French widow named

Pomeroy Saturday night where he began his coaching career

dinner attended by over 200 of his former players and their
wives. In front are Paul Casci, left, Middleport postmaster, a
Pomeroy High basketball and football star, and Fred Crow,

Natural Gas to
Cost Some More
POMEROY - Residents here will
begin paying a few cents more per month
for natural gas on Feb. 9, due to increases
in the cost of gas to Columbia Gas of Ohio,
Inc., from its suppliers. An increase of .72
of a cent per thousand cubic feet of gas
used becomes effective on that date.
On March 1, however, a refund of .28 of
a cent per thousand cubic feet becomes
effective for one year, making a net increase of .44 of a cent per thousand cubic
feet - or about seven cents a month for the
average customer who heats his home
with natural gas.
The adjustments reflect increases in
the cost of gas and refunds from suppliers,
which are passed on to customers through
provisions of fuel cost clauses in the
communities' contracts with the gas
company .

Open letter to a teenager
•

Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teenager. What can
we do? Where can we go? The answer is Go Home!
Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the
leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk, wash the car, learn to
cook, scrub some floors. Repair the sink, build a boat, get a job.
Help the minister, priest or rabbi, the Red Cross, the
Salvation Army, visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons.
And when you are through- and not too tired- read a book.
Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your city or
village does not owe you recreational facilities. The world does
tnot owe you a living- you owe the world something. You owe it
your time and your energy and your talents so that no one will be
at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again.
In plain, simple words, grow up! Quit being a cry-baby. Get
out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone,
and start acting like a man or a lady.
You're supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the
responsibilities your parents have borne for years. They have
nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated
and denied themselves needed comforts so that you could have
,every benefit. This they have done gladly, for you are their
'dearest treasure. But now, you have no right to expect them to
bow to every whim and fancy just because selfish ego instead of
common sense dominates your personality, thinking and
requests.
In Heaven's name, Grow up and Go Home!
Judge Philip B. Gilliam

Dear Mr. Editor (Also Dear Mr. Sword):
I also read Mr. Sword's letter in the December issue of the
Sunday Times-Sentinel.
The schools are not what they used to be. Back in the old days
we walked to school which was better as we got plenty of exercise.
Boys wore clean overalls which were good enough. We also got
plenty of fresh air, not being housed up like children are now at
school all day. They get tired now sitting all day at their desks.
~so today, some schools do not have fire drills. I don't think they

should ever mix schools together. My neighbors as well as myself
agree with Mr. Sword 100 per cent on schools in Gallia County.
The schools tell children how to dress. Also, they will not let girls
wear long dresses. Girls should wear dresses below their knees.
I don't see any harm in wearing slacks. They are better than
wearing shorts or short skirts.
H girls are going to wear just blouses without any skirts they
should stay home. I believe Mr. Sword should be elected to the
highest office in Gallia County.

Better hair than layers of fat
Gallipolis, Ohio
January 21, 1971
Dear Editor:
H the Lord had foreseen the furor that would be caused by hair,
He would surely have contrived some other form of head
covering. A few thick layers of fat, perhaps? Or is it that a few
thusly endowed are what's creating the problem?
Remember the college .;tudent who wrote home that the
dormitory had caught fire; he'd been expelled for cheating and
arrested for rioting, and numerous other catastrophes had
befallen him; and then he assured his parents that actually none
of these had taken place. He just wanted them to see the "F" on
his grade sheet in the proper perspective. What with Vietnam,
inflation, pollution, drugs, teacher and classroom shortages, etc.
etc. etc., the length of one's hair is of ridiculously insignificant
importance. Unless it happens to be one's own. Then, of course, it
• is very important.
Why? Well, originally, I suppose, hair served the same function for our ears as do our lashes and kows for our eyes. (If you
want to waste time, try doodling some automatic ear awnings.)
Ear muffs have already been invented to replace shorn locks, and
an interesting (but no very) study might be made comparing the
susceptibility to colds and earaches of long and short haired
people.
The other purpose, and in this day and time and especially to
... teenagers, the most important function of hair, is cosmetic. Only
• a girl with perfect features dares to have a boyish haircut because
all others need their hair to minimize nature's mistakes in their
physiognomy, as any beautician will tell you. The skinned or
peeled look of the short male bob emphasizes an over large nose
or receding chin. A long face with a high forehead needs bangs to
shorten it. Hair softens a sharp, angular face or covers up the
roundness of a moon-shaped face. Unattractive (or unwashed)
ears can be hidden by longish locks. Those who lack attractive
facial features find satisfaction in having attractive hair. It's sort
of a consolation prize.
f;
Then there's a matter of fashion . Show me a style magazine
or catalogue in which the men have short hair and I'll show you a
two year old publication. Even the armed forces permit the longer
hair. Men's fashions have come a long way towards comfort and
practicality. No button shoes. No skin tight satin breeches to
accentuate bandy legs. No lace cuffs to dangle in the soup. No
high starched collars to cut off circulation to the head bone which
now has hair long enough to serve the purpose for which it was
intended.
But let's be fair and consider the other side. What are the
tf reasons for short hair? Well, for one thing, we don't want a lot of
unemployed barbers loose in the streets, do we, although they
could update their trade and be as busy as ever. And there's that
old standby, "This is the way it's always been done!" which it
isn't. Then there's the bit about drugs and long hair going hand in
hand (can they do that?), but some party pooper is apt to come up
with the facts and that reason goes out the window. Cleanliness?
Have you noticed how clean and shining most of the long hair is
because it lies down without the benefit of greasy kid stuff?
Maybe it interferes with the learning processes. Let's see now H
you comb it down over your eyes, you can't see your book and the
tr teacher can't tell if you're awake. It's a mite unbecoming that
way, though, and besides, it tickles.
Well, let's get on to the next all important item like devising a
dress code. After all, what do parents know about dressing their
kids? H they don't have a lot of rules to follow, they'll think
someone isn't doing his job. We'll get to the education problems
later!

Yours truly,
Susan K. Clarke

around, you will find that my whole family, even though poor, is
held in high esteem by people who know us. So you will find out if
you inquire I am not a member of the "Wrecking Crew.''
I also wish the best to our new superintendent. I am not
condemning him. He, as anyone else new in a given area, needs a
chance. I think he and the board have some wonderful ideas long
overlooked. I really wish them success. Perhaps I am wrong, but I
have been told sometimes that detention is a bit too harsh. H so, it
should be checked for we definitely do not want fear of the administration in our children and I believe that Mr. Kuhn doesn't
either; and I know our administrators are to be respected as they
perform their duties.
Some people have misunderstood what I meant when I said
that God did not tell man how to dress. I was wrong. He did tell
man to cloth himself in furs and skins. The point I meant, and
didn't explain clearly was, God did not place the authority in any
individual or groups of individuals to tell you or I how to dress our
children if they are clean and decent. Again, I repeat, if they are
clean and decent.
My children attended schools over a period of nearly 30 years
in our city. I am very proud myself to claim GAHS as my alma
mater. An honor student from GAHS can enroll in any of the

Needless to say it didn't make one iota's difference in the

a group of citizens who protested the high rates of electric and the

friends with another person who had also just moved here. In
three months time, we became very close, so naturally I was
sorry to hear it when he told me he was leaving. I was even sorrier
when he told me why. He and his family were leaving because of
the way they had been treated here. My friend that I have been
telling you about was only 17 years old, but he had long hair,
which seems to make a difference. After being jumped and beaten
up twice, I can understand why he wanted to leave.
The message I've been trying to say is that the people of
Gallipo~s are going to have to "wake up" and start doing
something for the young people of this community.
In my conversations with students at GAHS, I've found that
most of them feel the same way. They want to finish high school,
go to college, and then go somewhere else to find employment and
raise a family.
I myself have decided to move back to my old hometown and
try to find a job.
To sum it all up, if the citizens of Gallipolis aren't careful all
of the young people will be leaving, and it's my guess that they
won't be back.

POMEROY- The establishment of a Meigs County museum
appears to be closer to reality than it has been for the past five
years.
Two members of the Meigs County Pioneer and Historical
Society have brought up points of interest.
Mrs. W. P. Lochary urges that even though the museum is to
be established in Pomeroy, it should be stressed that it is a
county-wide institution and asks that everyone participate.
Mrs. Paul Chapman points out that the museum is not to be
just a musty place where people can go to look at antiques. It will
be a spot also for research, a place where students and others can
go to look up historical backgrounds on such things as Meigs
County industries and families. And - it's amazing how many
requests are received during a year for society members from
people across the nation who are seeking information about their
families who were originally in Meigs County.
Contributions are being accepted for the museum. They may
be sent to Mrs. Charles Hayes, treasurer of the society, 13 Oak St.,
Pomeroy. Incidentally, small contributions are more than
welcome. Mter all, numerous small amounts of even one dollar
would not only provide money which will be needed but would also
prove that people are interested and do want the museum
established.
SPEAKING OF MRS. HAYES, it might be well to mention at
this time that she is no longer associated with the Meigs County
Auditor's office where she has been for a number of years. Mrs.
Hayes resigned her position there. She isn't retiring, however,
and is looking for new employment. She was presented with a nice
handbag by co-workers at the courthouse when she left her post.
MEIGS COUNTY REALLY has some "wide open spaces."
Drive up Great Bend way, if you don't believe it. Incidentally,
there's an interesting chapel and cemetery at Great Bend. Graves
in the cemetery, many of them, go back to the mid 1800's. The
small church is called the Bicknell Chapel and in the cemetery
are graves of the Bicknell Family. Does anyone have information
about the family which apparently provided funds for the chapel,
built in the late 1800's, or else was held in such high esteem that it
was named in honor of the family?
DOWN MIDDLEPORT WAY, Chief of Police J. J. Cremeans
warns motorists to take their car keys with them when they leave
their vehicles.

The chief warns that these youngsters could get injured quite
seriously if they should have an accident in the "borrowed"

their cars since the youngsters seem to know where to look for
them.

Gallipolis, Ohio, Jan. 17, 1971
To Mr. Marshall M. Burnett,
Mr. Burnett, I am one who seldom likes to continue issues, but
l believe you and perhaps others have taken the wrong interpretation of my letter of Jan. 11, 1971. I hope you will read my
letter over slowly several times before you label me as a member
of the "Wrecking Crew." H you will note, I started by saying, "I
have always believed in discipline in our school." This should be
enough said, but to go on, I also said later, "I do not believe m
students running the schools." This should also clear up the point
as to where I stand on discipline.
I also do not believe in doing away with punishment and
"detention," as I said many students and parents have told me
that a new approach is needed in giving "detention" in many
cases.
Now, Mr. Burnett, I am not a college educated man such as
you, and neither am I an experienced schoolteacher such as you.
All I have is a high school education, GAHS, class of 1935. I am
proud of the fact that I was the first of our family to graduate from
high school. Since then several of my children have. All my
children have attended Gallipolis City Schools. I had eight
children in school here at one time. Several have gone on to richer
rewards after graduating. My oldest daughter was a "Girl of the
Month." Some have belonged to the National Honor Society. My
children all know what discipline is. It was constantly in use in my
home when I was growing up, and I used it in bringing up my own
children .
When I was in school in the 1920's-1930's I was also taught

Just Between
Us
By Pat Houck

·

Have you ever tried to get out of a dress that zips up the back
after everyone in the house has gone to bed?
HAVE YOU EVER borrowed your husband's all weather
lotion (said husband being a v-e-r-y neat man who frowns on caps
being leff off bottles) and then tried to put the lid back on the
lotion bottle?, all the while keeping the lotion in a neat little
puddle in your palm? The problem is, you see, if you spread the
lotion out, it gets all over your fingers and then .... putting that lid
back on is impossible.
CHEER UP THOUGH .... Spring can't be too far away. Mrs.
Frank Mozena, 1403 Eastern Ave., saw a robin last week and
many people say their crocus are showing at least an inch of
growth.
RESPONSE TO ARTICLES really warm a writer's heart.
The conunents we get about the old Vinton Mill story were interesting. Roy Oiler took the time to write to us that the old mill
feature brought back good memories.
Elva HlUltley, 84, also called and told me some interesting
things she remembers about the mill. Her father used to take his
wheat there in heavy sacks. He carried a clean sack to bring the
flour back home in. She still has one of those flour sacks.
Mrs. HlUltley also remembers when women took wool to the
mill to be splUl into yarn after they had sheared the sheep.
But of course most interesting to me were Mrs. Huntley's
memories of the newspaper that used to be printed in Vinton, the
Vinton Leader. I hope to get to talk to her some day about it.
1F YOU HAVE A GOOD MEMORY, if you know an interesting story about a building or about a person, be sure to let
me know. I won't be able to write about everyone I hear of, but
who knows, your story might just be the story I need to make an
interesting feature that will bring back memories for lots of folks,
as the mill story did for Mrs. Huntley, Mrs. Oiler, and surely
many others.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FEEL about Letters to the Editor,
but I think they are one of the last freedoms. I think anyone who
has the courage to state the way he feels about a thing, right out in
the open so the opposing side can take pot shots at him, should be
commended.
After all, isn't this two party- two opinion thing the American
way?
TRACES OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON still can be seen in the
bright red of the poinsettias at many windows. I've seen them at
the Scarberry-Williams home, at the Jack Knight home, at the
Charles Huber and at Mary Lewis's home.
I'M REALLY DUMB about politics. Introduction to American
Goverrunent 105 I hope will take care of that. But right now I'm
wondering how much you know about the issues at hand. Or how
much you care?
If you do care, try to become knowledgeable about the issues.
For instance, in May we expect to have several questions to vote
on. I understand the issues will include funds for the Guiding
Hand school, Library, and the Vocational School. It's far better to
know before you go to vote just what iS the wisest and best action
and not vote indiscriminately.

question with a brush-{)ff.

aJMPLICATED
QUESTION
Dear Helen:
I was his princess and he was
my prince when I was in first
grade and he in third.
Now I'm in seventh grade,
and he's a ninth-grader, and he
hardly ever notices me. If he
wasn't too old for me back then,
why is he now?
But if he is, then there's a cute
boy in the eighth grade, and he
has a brother in the same grade
and they're both in the band,
which I'm in, too. They look
alike, excPpt one wears braces.
We all three play horns. They
like me.
But my prince is on the
football team.
So please, what do I do? LOVESICK
Dear Livesick:
We-e-ell - two birds in the
band are better than an unnoticing football player in the
bush, right? So keep the older
"Prince Charming" in mind for
high school (where Seniors
often think sophomores are
mighty cute) and concentrate
on the cute guys who like you. H.

Dear Helen:
I've been going with this guy
who is 15 years older than me
and married. He also has a
family. We've been dating for 16
months and he plans to get a
divorce and marry me
Everything was great Wltil
my folks found out. They insisted that we break up, so I've
been sneaking to see him . I
truly love this man and know
marriage will work, even
though it will be tough if he has
to support four children. Could
you give some suggestions on
winning my parents over?
NEEDING HELP, (18)
Dear N H.:
Yo4.haven't even won ME
over fet! .... Because:

I

1. A married man may date a
yolUlger chick for 16 months,
but marriage usually isn't what
he has in mind.
2. He has 15 years and four
kids against him. (In addition to
a wife!)
3. You are too yolUlg for this
kind of involvement.
4. Your parents are right! -

H.
Dear Helen:
I know a guy who is very high
on anti-pollutio!"}, ecology, etc.,
and tootles around to every
meeting in town, making big
fusses about factory smog and
water-poisoning.
He doesn't seem to notice his
old car pours out a blanket of
smoke, and the blue haze is
even thicker because he uses
the cheapest gasoline on the
market, plus he won't do any
work on his car. (Doesn't have
time, what with all the campaigning.)
It's sure funny how people can
walk out of a pollution meeting
and throw paper cups and trash
on the floor, as they rap about
how terrible "those others" are.
Or homeowners can be gWlgho for clean-ups and no-smoke
legislation - until it's fall leaf
burning time.
When will we ever learn? OBSERVANT
Dear Ob :
.... When "the other guy"
teaches us, just as we're involved right now in teaching
him. It takes time to change
those easy, lifelong habits, but
we must for, if we don't, future
generations may not survive. -

the capacity of letter writing
services for the residents.
She is well known for her
kindness and her positive attitudes toward the approach of
mental retardation. This is
often demonstrated by her
willingness to take the residents
off-grounds shopping and into
her home. Many of the girls
have benefited from gifts of
clothing,
cosmetics
or
anything needed by the individual. Her belief is that there
is much to be done in
missionary services within our
own USA.
Junior Women's Club has
b~en named "Volunteer Group

of the Month." This volunteer
group is one of our more recent
groups to join the ranks of
volunteer clubs.
They busted themselves in
working with the special
education students who were in
training for outside placement.
They assisted with social
graces, cosmetology classes
and entertainment of the group
in their home.
One of this group became
interested in the class to the
extent of a second invitation to
her home for Christmas dmner.
The students were involved in
the preparation, serving and
consuming of a turkey dinner
with all the trimmings.

From the moon, live and in
color: Apollo 14 mission promises TV first
By CAROL ANN ROSS
WASHINGTON (UP!) -The
Apollo 14 moon mission expects
to score a television first- live,
color telecasts of men walking
on the lW1ar surface.
If all goes as now scheduled,
spacecraft commander Alan B.
Shepard Jr., will activate a
color TV camera the moment
he steps out of the lunar
module and on to the moon's
surface at 9:10a.m. EST Feb.

5.

The color camera, built by
Westinghouse Electric Corp.,
will follow Shepard and lunar
module pilot Edgar D. Mitchell
during both of their two
scheduled moonwalks .
The historic Apollo 11 moon
landing in July, 1969, was
televised to an awed world by a
black and white camera. Apollo
12 carried a color TV camera
but transmission failed about
two minutes after the moonwalk began.
Apollo 13 Aborted
Apollo 13 also was equipped
with a color television camera

but that aborted mission never
made it to the moon.
Apollo 14 will carry three
television cameras. There will
be a color camera in the
command module "Kitty
Hawk." The lunar module
''Antares" will have a black
and white " back up" camera as
well as a color camera.
The black and white camera
will be used for transmission
when Antares lands. When
Shepard and Mitchell begin
their moonwalks, the color
camera will be deployed on a
tripod to transmit scientific

experiments done by the two
astronauts.
During the two moonwalks,
Commander Shepard will be
recognizable by red stripes
around the elbows and knees of
his pressure suit.
All three commercial television networks-the American
Broadcasting Company, Columbia Broadcasting System and
National Broadcasting Company-plan full coverage of the
Apollo 14 mission.
The amount of air time given
the mission, however, will be
somewhat less than during the

Apollo 11 landing, when the
dramatic "giant leap for
mankind" dominated the tube
for many hours.
CBS Plans Time
CBS plans 16 to 17 hours of
television air time if the
mission runs close to the flight
plan , according to CBS Apollo
14 producer Robert Wussler.
News correspondents Walter
Cronkite and David Schoumacer will be anchormen for CBS.
They will be joined by former
astronaut Wally Schirra.
NBC special coverage director Jim Holton said his network

will give Apollo 14 a total of 19
hours of air coverage.
Anchoring coverage for NBC
will be John Chancellor and
David Brinkley. Astronaut Allan Bean will offer background
cornmen tary.
ABC's anchormen will be
science editor Jules Bergman
and correspondent Frank Reynolds. They'll be joined by
former astronaut Frank Forman .
Bergman said ABC will give
Apollo 14 more than 17 hours of
air time.

lOc Per Vote Proposed

BETTY POWELL

CATHERINE YAUGER

By ROY McGHEE
WASHINGTON CUPD - "Don't
buy a single vote more than is
necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going
to pay for a landslide."
John F. Kennedy got a big laugh
when he facetiously attributed this
admonition to his father during his
presidential campaign.
But the truth is no one knows how
much the family spent in quest of the
nation's highest office for Kennedy.
Nor does the public know how much
Nelson Rockefeller spent in his four
campaigns for governor of New York
and his three tries for the Republican
presidential nomination; nor how
much his brother Winthrop spent in
four races for governor of Arkansas.
Reform Bill With Teeth

Likewise, there has been no public
accounting of how deep the wealthy
Buckley family dipped into its private
oil-based fortune to finance the successful election of Sen. James L.
Buckley, New York Conservative. Or,
for that matter, how much former Rep.
Richard L. Ottinger, D-N. Y. heir to
vast plywood wealth, personally spent
in losing to Buckley.
Kennedy jokingly disarmed some
of the harsher criticism aimed at his
rich man's campaign .

Yup, Prices Have Gone Up

But it is no laughmg matter to two
reform-minded senators, James B.
Pearson, R-Kan., and Mike Gravel, DAlaska. They have teamed to write a
tough election campaign reform bill
that aims, for one thing, to reduce the
edge huge private fortunes give candidates.
10 Cents Per Vote
It would stipulate that a candidate

for federal office- president, senator
or congressman - could not spend
more than $25,000 of his own or his
family's money in an election campaign.
The Pearson - Gravel legislation
would limit the amount a candidate for
national office could spend on all types
of political advertising to 10 cents for
each voter registered for the last
previous election. That ceiling would
apply both in primaries and general
elections.
Other reforms proposed by
Pearson and Gravel: strick public
reporting of all campaign contributions and expenditures; an independent, non-political government
agency to police campaign spending;
free network prime time for
presidential candidates, and possible
government subsidies for campaign
expenditures for federal office seekers.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Nixon noted Friday it
now costs more to run his home town of Whittier, Calif., than
it did to run the entire U. S. government in 1791. Nixon
mentioned his hometown in his State of the Union Message as
an example of the money problems of American cities.
"As one indication of the rising costs of local governments," he said, "I discovered the other day that my home
town of Whittier, California -with a population of only 67,000
-has a budget for 1971 bigger than the entire federal budget
in 1791." The population of the United States was slightly
over 4 million in 1791.

Sanitarian's Office is
Stressing Environment
GALLIPOLIS - In 1969 man

Thus has been the s tory of
man from the beginning. Only
in the last century man has
begun to realize the importance
of environmental sanitation.
Environmental sanitation has
been the main stay of the
sanitation field.
Traditionally , san itation
programs were based upon the
prevention of disease and
poisoning. Today, however,
according to Gallia County
Sanitarian Frank Petrie, Jr .,
we add a new concept that of
maintaining an environment
suited to man's efficient
preservation of comfort, and
enJoyment of living. This can be
achieved in many ways, but
through
exrwn&lt;· rwe
and

education is the most important
fac tor
of
environmental
sanitatiOn. It is the task of the
sanitarian's office to show the
way for a better life to the
people of Gallia County.
"If we have reached the lives
of some of our peple, we will not
have toiled in vain . We shall
attempt to improve the environmental sanitation for
every citizen in Gallia County in
1971 as we have continued to
improve in the past," he said .

Vulcan Cuts Back
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (UPI)
- The Vulcan Corp., a shoe and
sports products firm, said it
would close its heel finis hing
plant here Feb. 28, putting 65
employes out of a job.
Vulcan President Lawrence
B. Austing said shoe imports
and the increasing tendency of
area shoe manufacturers to do
their own finishing had wiped
out most of the plant's business.
Efforts will be made to relocate
those 65 employes in Vulcan

POMEROY- Meigs ministers provide so many services, not
the least of which is the hospital chaplaincy program.
While a chaplaincy service at Veterans Memorial Hospital is
beginning its second year, a new one is being initiated at the
Holzer Medical Center and Meigs ministers are active there.
The very capable Rev. Arthur Lund, pastor of the St. Paul
Lutheran Church in Pomeroy, is chairman of both programs.
At Veterans Memorial, local ministers are assigned a week of
service at a time. This means they visit each new patient, make
calls on others who request them, give a five minute sermon at 8
a.m. on Sunday mornings over the loud speaking system and
conduct a service at the Meigs County Infirmary.
A full time chaplaincy service at the Holzer Medical Center
got underway with the new year. Ministers from a seven county
area participating in the program are assigned days to serve at
the hospital. Their duties involve visiting new patients as well as
others who ask for visits.
Plans now are to start a similar service at the Clinic but on a
two day a week basis. Details of this will be worked out at a
meeting of the ministers on Feb. 11.
MRS. DAVID FARMER and her son Dan who have birthdays just a day apart, are celebrating today. Dan and his wife
came from Dayton especially to be with Mrs. Farmer who observes her 86th birthday anniversary. Congratulations!
YOUTH OF THE HEATH United Methodist Church collected
almost $140 in Middleport for the Marshall Memorial Fund. These
young people put their concern for the bereaved families of the
Marshall University football team and coaching staff into action
and went door-to-door for the cause.
LEO CREW IS REALLY taking to his teaching position with
the Columbus Technical Institute. He currently has a class of 21
students in the dental laboratory technology course. It's
presenting quite a challenge to Leo who up until late swmner
operated a dental laboratory here. The Institute is relatively new
and currently offers 32 technologies.
Meanwhile, the Crew family continues to live in Pomeroy,
with Leo coming home on weekends. Pam's husband, Don Napper, is back from Vietnam and they are now in Dover, Del. Jennifer and Dave and children, Eve and Noah, were here from
Colorado Springs over the holidays for a reunion of the family.
By the way, Mrs. Crew has accepted the chairmanship for the
District 16 spring conference, Ohio Congress of Parents and
Teachers, Inc. to be held in Pomeroy, May 1. A cultural arts
exhibit by elementary students over the seven-eounty district will
be featured and as the time draws nearer we'll be telling you all
about this.
ANYONE KNOW WHEN the old Pomeroy opera house was
dedicated? Mrs. Harold Teaford is anxious to find out.
Seems that she was given a fruit dish which was an open
house gift to a now deceased friend of hers at the time the opera
house was dedicated. It is a white translucent bowl decorated with
pink roses, probably of no great monetary value but certainly of
sentimental value to Mrs. Teaford. She wants the date so that she
can mark it on the bowl. Give her a call if you know it.

POMEROY - A Valentine's

Marcia Karr
Leads Service
POMEROY - "Yes Lord,
Yes Lord" was the theme of the
call to prayer and self-denial
service conducted by Miss
Marcia Karr at the recent
meeting of the Women's Society
of Christian Service of the Asbury United Methodist Church,
Syracuse at the home of Mrs.
Donald Lisle.
Purpose of the service was to
seek to interpret the need for
immediate personal response to
the call of God, to missions by
prayer, and denial of self by
saying "yes" to God.
Mrs. Dana Winebrenner
assisted Miss Karr with the
service which opened with
prayer of confession. Mrs.
Winebrenner read Psalms 111
and 113 and gave the invitation
to worship. Readings were on
"The Art of Celebration",
"Search
for
Meaning",
''Concerns'', ''Peace'' ,
" Prayer", "Yes, Lord, Accept
Me, Love Me", and "Make Me
An Instrument".
An offering was taken for
training laity for ministries of
social charge overseas and for
deaconesses pension.
During the business session

it was noted that seven sick
calls ha d been made. Mrs.
Virgil Teaford, assisting
hostess, read a letter pertaining
to the workshop held Friday at

POMEROY - Techniques of
preserving
flowers
for
arrangements through proper
conditioning was discussed by
Mrs. Charles Hayes, program
leader at the Wednesday night
meeting of the Winding Trail
Garden Club.
Mrs. Hayes emphasized that
garden flowers to be used in any
type of arrangement need to be
conditioned first. She said
flowers should be picked early
in the morning or late in the
afternoon and left in a pail of
water in a cool room away from
drafts for at least two hours or
longer if possible. The foliage at
the base of the stems should be
removed, she reminded.
For long life, Mrs. Hayes
suggested that flower stems be
cut under water with a sharp
knife. Shears or scissors, she
said, are apt to squeeze the cells
preventing a free rise of water
to the leaves and blossoms.
Flowers from the florist should
be recut under water.
To restore wilted flowers,
Mrs. Hayes recommended that
they be placed in cold water to
which has been added a half cup
of vinegar per quart of water.
