POMEROY - When "June busts out

dedication of the new 4(}..bed addition to
Veterans Memorial Hospital.
The ultra-modern 4(}..bed addition is
running months behind schedule, but

For instance, in the basement of the
new addition there will be a therapy room
fully equipped where patients can be taken
to exercise on equipment designed to
strengthen weakened muscles. There will
be a pharmacy for the first time, plus a
laundry room with large industrial type
washers, a dryer and ironer. Personnel
will be trained soon to operate the
equipment. The hospital is sending all
laundry out to a commercial firm. In

be kept in good repair.
The new addition - in the basement
area - also will feature a 30 by 70 foot
storage room where all supplies, with the
exception of drugs and food, will be kept.
This is already in use under the direction
of Phil Meinhart of Pomeroy who maintains a complete stock record and inventory. Besides other facilities, the
basement also houses heating equipment
for the entire hospital plus equipment for
air conditioning the new wing.
There is a large area for storage of
patient records and another room features
facilities for self-care patients. In the
latter room, patients can do small
amounts of laundry or have their hair done
by a ittJautician.

Hi-Ho Come to the Fair

Beware Bouncers

•

GALLIPOLIS - City and county
health department officials were warned
Saturday by the U. S. Food and Drug
Administration that "walker jumpers" or
"baby bouncers" are potentially hazardous and can cause severe injuries to
babies, including the amputation of fingers
and laceration and abrasion injuries of the
hands and face .
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Charles C. Edwards said :
"A number of injuries including at least
nine finger amputations attributed to the
product have been reported to FDA.
"The items, marketed nationally by
several manufacturers, are sold under a
variety of brand names. As many as
400,000 of the walker-jumpers are
produced annually.
"The agency said current models of
some manufacturers have been
redesigned to incorporate safety features.
But many of the items presently being sold
on the retail market, or in use in the home,
have not been modified and may be
hazardous.

"In issuing the warning, F .D.A.'s
Bureau of Product Safety said injuries
have resulted when an infant inserts a
finger in a pivotal or spring area of the
product or when a unit accidentally tips or
folds. The Bureau is advising mothers and
others who care for infants to look for the
following potentially hazardous areas of
walker-jumpers to determine whether the
product is safe:
"- Holes in hinge areas of reclining
models through which a baby could insert
a finger;
" - Frame pivotal areas, frequently
designed in an 'X' shape capable of
exerting a scissor effect on an infant's
finger;
" - Unguarded springs which may
widen to allow space for finger insertion;
"- Absence of a safety ring or locking
device in models capable of accidental
folding or collapse when occup1ed;
"- Tendency to tilt or tip when one or
two legs hit against a bump, floor crack,
rug seam, or the like."

IN THE SPOOK HOUSE, a mummy came to life. It
frightened everybody.

ERIC BENNETT, 2, son of Mr. and
Mrs. George Bennett, is all eyes and
hardly knows what to make of all the
excitement at the fair. His mother helps
him select tickets for prizes. The PTA
fair, an annual event, had something
for everyone, from a country store to
dart games. The cafeteria was open for
serving and pink cotton candy and
balloons were treats for the many
children who attended.

He noted, however, that there was

Luna was understood to be at UTU

Accept Pay Offer
The UTU has expressed willingness to go
along with the basic 44 per cent pay increase provided in contracts accepted by
the other three unions involved in the
December strike.
Usery acknowledged that the work rules
issue was the major obstacle. It was understood to revolve around two points:
-Industry's demand for more so-called
"interdivisional runs," which usually
exceed 100 miles and do not require any
change of crew personnel. The UTU has
resisted any revision along these lines on
grounds that it would reduce jobs. The
industry has said these long runs increase

Rules for Everybody
Pomeroy, Ohio
Mar. 2,1971
Dear Sir:
In every school there must be rules to govern the conduct of
the students.
At Meigs, we have rules that say how long your hair and
sideburns can be and how short skirts may be but these rules are
poorly enforced.
The skirt length is never checked and the hair and sideburn
rule is only enforced selectively.
Teachers and student teachers are not effected by these rules.
~ey wear their hair and sideburns at any length they please, but
still they tell the students their hair and sideburns have to be cut.
Why should you pay taxes to have the school tell you how to
raise your children? Is it fair that the teachers be exempt from
their own rules?
Along with the teachers, there are a few students that are not
effected by the rules. Why? They're students too. Maybe the
teachers are afraid of them or, better yet, good friends.
I know some people don't believe me, so I invite them to come
to school any day and see these injustices with their own eyes.
•
I agree there must be some rules to govern this but if they are
to be enforced they should apply to everyone, students and
. teachers alike.
Really, just what does the length of a person's hair or
sideburns have to do with whether you learn something or not?
This is just one of my gripes with this school.
We have a very beautiful building but, with all the do's and
don'ts, it's like a prison. It's no wonder so many students are
quitting school.
The students should be allowed some of their civil rights.

Call to Arms
Dear Sir:
Strip mining is ruining thousands of acres of land and many
streams in southeastern Ohio, including Gallia County. Sandfork
is a perfect example of what stripmining can do to an area.
Strip mines damage public roads so that they become im• passable at times. Mine water and silt fills the creeks and causes
them to overflow onto farmland making it impossible to grow
anything on it. This causes damage for miles and miles away
from a strip mined area.
We need laws to protect the land owner who doesn't want his
land stripped, or who simply wants to farm, from this kind of
de ruction to land and streams that ruins him ''from a distance.''
Of n it is the absentee landowner, or one who long ago gave up
using his land for -what God intended -to raise food - that sells
his land or coal, or lOth, to the stripper.
~
I know of are: s where strip mining was done several years
ago and nothing has been done to date to reclaim it. Property in
such areas almost has no value.
I urge people in that city and the county to write to Mr. Ernie
Gebhart, Chief, Division of Forestry and Reclamation, Ohio Dept.
of " '1tural Resour
Columbus, Ohio, to express their opinion
about this proble
Thts is the onl

If nothing is

do more good than anything.

Dear Sir:
Is there no justice any more? This is the question residents of
Leading Creek surrounding the so-called Landfill dwnp of Middleport are asking.
The laws of pollution, open dumping, seem to be able to be
twisted to suit the situation. For example, Walter Bentz has been
cited for open dumping while Middleport officials get by with
piling their garbage higher and deeper along our beautiful Route 7
by-pass.
Th~re is a law against open dumping. If the law is going to be
enforced properly, then one shouldn't be punished and another get
by with the same offense.
The Health Department won't approve the Dark Hollow
dump because of complaint of stench, unsanitary conditions, etc.
We have been from one official to another and when we ended our
political round we bounced right back to the Health Department
with no results. Isn't our health as important as Pomeroy's, and
by the way, we have enough problems without Pomeroy making
the garbage any deeper at Middleport's dump by hauling their
garbage down here on us.
I cannot and never will understand why the Health Dept. can
approve such a disgraceful mess that Middleport has punished us
with here on Leading Creek.
County officials, Meigs Health Department, it's time you
enforced the law correctly, and for example, don't knock one
person down and pat another on the back.
Some of our officials at least if for no other reason out of the
goodness of their hearts, shall try to do something to solve our
garbage problem. Are you going to let Meigs County rot with
garbage, decay and die, before any of our elected officials do
anything for us.
In ...losing, we are just plain tired of the do-nothing attitude of
our elected officials and the bucl.; passing by the Health Department.
A disgusted citizen,
James Mohler.

Us

By Pat Houck
BACK WHEN our grandmothers were young family women,
getting together with friends and neighbors was one of the
highlights of daily living. The tables would be laden with food to
be shared by those working at a common task, be it harvesting,
raising a barn or a church social.
Its been almost like that for the dedicated members of the
French Art Colony working to get the old Holzer property ready
for the membership tea on the 21st.
Some of the girls bring casseroles, some chafing dishes of
warm food and some desserts. And I have it on good authority that
many of the fellows don't mind the work as long as they get to eat!
I'm kidding, of course, because all of them are working because
it's something they believe in. Bonuses like good food and companionship have come their way as a result.
One sure way to make a friend is to work together. Fraternities and garden clubbers discovered this long ago.

I DID IT AGAIN. I locked my key in my car. Cecil Elliott of
Rio Grande saw my plight and came to my rescue. Now I couldn't
do this on a day when the weather was 65 degrees and balmy, I
had to do it in the midst of a blinding snowstorm. I told Mr. Elliott
to break the side window but he wouldn't do it. He worked
patiently for at least 15 minutes in the cold and snow and managed
to get my door open.
That was such a good deed he won't have to do any more for
the rest of the year.

THE WORK ALONG Third Ave. on the new telephone cables
is sort of messy now, with the snow and soon the mud, but those
along the route will have nice new sidewalks when it's all done.

I'M NOT GOING to say a word about this hot pants style
craze, except that I remember once calling the same style "short
shorts." What's the difference?
IT'S GETTING TO BE the time of the year when we can't
hide our extra weight under a winter coat. So a number of people
are becoming diet conscious, men as well as women. Let's see
now, there's T. B., DC,H.W. Jr. who are really working at it. Then
there are D. R., P . H. and I won't even hint at the others who
should be working on it.
GARS CLASS OF 1971 chose one of the nicest of the new song
titles as its motto: "We've Only Just Begun." Isn't that appropriate ? Their flower is a white carnation dipped in blue.
I WISH I COULD have seen Dennis VanSickle's oil painting in
color. To my way of thinking it is an outstanding painting. The
painting was shown on the front page of the Sunday TimesSentinel last week, but of course not in color. It depicts a slain
soldie.r lying in a pool of blood that flowed into the red of the flag, a
flag nddled by bullets. A very moving interpretive piece of work.

Homes '71' to be Held

Girl Scouters to
Celebrate Birthday
GALLIPOLIS -On March 12
the Girl Scouts of the USA will
be celebrating their 59th birthday and almost 350 Girl
Scouts and their adult leaders in
Gallia County will be joining
with Scouts and Guides in 65
nations in heralding this important time on the Girl Scout
calendar. The week will get off
to a start with all the girls and
their leaders attending the
church of their choice and then
in the afternoon the older girls
will be hostessing a tea
honoring their leaders and
committees, past and present.
Lord and Lady Baden Powell
were the founders of Scouting in
Europe while Juliette Gordon
Low organized the first Girl
Scout Troop in the USA. Here in
Gallipolis, Scouting had its start
with Mrs. Leo Bean and she
carried it on for several years.
It progressed from two groups,
Troop 1 and Troop 2 to the
present 15 troops representing
four different age levels, each of
them with at least five adults
registered; two of them leaders
and the rest committee
members. All adult Scouters
in this area are volunteers.
The youngest girls who are
second and third graders are
called Brownies and all of these
troops are under the direction of
our Brownie Consultant, Mrs.
Keith Thomas. There are five
troops in this group and they are
very capably led by the
following
women:
Mrs.
Malcolm Wallace and Mrs.
Maurice Dean, Mrs. Robert
Brandeberry and Mrs. Oliver
Adkins, Mrs. Wilson Bowers
and Mrs. William Jenkins, Mrs.
Miles Ephng and Mrs. Richard
Simpson, and Mrs. William
Schoonover and Mrs. Ronald
Sims.
The fourth through sixth
.grade girls are called Junior
Scouts. By now the program has
become more grown up and
greater emphasis is placed on
self-government and girl
creativity. Our six Junior troops
are directed by Mrs. John Smith
with the leaders in this group
being: Mrs. James Orr and
Mrs Herbert
Char!
mgo a
Gr n \irs
and Mrs. Thorr
Mrs. Thomas Pr
Walter Schoonover, and Mrs.
Marlin Wedemeyer and Mrs.
Barbara Taylor.
By the time the girls reach
Junior High School they are
quite independent and take

pride in making and carrying
out their own plans in all areas.
Their activities, as with the
younger Juniors, are centered
around several main categories
and probably one of the
favorites with many is camping, the out-of-doors, and
becoming more familiar with
nature and the world around
them. Last year Gallia Girl
Scouts planned and carried out
Camporee
at
Camp
a
Arrowhead in Jackson, Ohio.
Also the day camp was held at
the Kiwanis Youth Camp,
several troops camped on their
own during the school year and
many girls attended councilowned established camps.

The Cadette troops are under
the direction of the Cadette
Consultant, Mrs. Bill Shaffer,
who is herself a Cadette leader.
This group includes Mrs. Eldon
Wuerch and Mrs. Shaffer, Mrs.
Otho Burdette and Mrs. James
Bennett, and Mrs. James Roush
and Mrs. Robert McCulty.
Advisor to our Senior High
School girls is Mrs. Roger
Barron. This troop is selfgoverned in every aspect, the
top of the ladder for Girl Scouts
before they themselves go intc
scout leadership.
Watch for a continuation of
the Girl Scout Story later on this
week.

Faith Baptist Church
Fellowship Night
GALLIPOLIS - A large
attendance enjoyed a family
night in the form of a potluck
Fellowship Supper last Thursday evening by the members
and friends of the Faith Baptist
Church of Gallipolis at the
Kyger Creek Clubhouse.
Committee for the occasion
was Mrs. Bill Schoonover,
chairlady, Mrs. Maurice
Alverson, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur
Dennis, Mrs. Hugh Graham,
Mrs. Woodrow Pyles, and Mrs.
Donald Stanley. Pastor Joseph
Chapman
acted
as
C.
moderator for the evening's
program. Mr. Charles Scouten
led in prayer of thanksgiving for
the food.
Pastor Chapman discussed
briefly some of the ideas formerly talked over by the board
of deacons concerning the
present and future of Faith
Baptist Church. Chapman
brought out three main thrusts
for the church in its outreach;
TCP -Total Church Program,
the Spiritual ministries of the
church; TMP - Total Missions
Program, the missionary
outreach of the church; and
TBP
Total Building
Program, the future building
expa'ns10n of the church. It was
stated that goals should be set
and total planning be mapped
out over a period of 25 years.
Pastor Chapman announced
there would be a special
congregational meeting to be
held on Wednesday evening,
March 17, at 7:30 for the purpose of a general discussion of

these matters. It will also be a
time when the people are to
express their ideas and
suggestions so that everyone
can think together, work
together, and pray together.
It was stated by the pastor
that the church is being blessed
of the Lord and the attendance
is increasing each week. In light
of this there are immediate
projects to be accomplished
such as the extending of the
parking lot, the building on of
additional Sunday School
rooms, a recreational area for
outside activities, and a
sheltered area for picnics, etc.
Guest speaker for the evening
was Lt. Wilbur Kirtland, a pilot
of Jet Transports in the United
States Marines. Kirtland took
as his text Second Thesalonians three and verse
13, and emphasized the phrase,
"Be not weary in well doing."
He urged the people to keep on
going on and not to let go. He
illustrated using the words of
Paul, "I press toward the goal
(mark) for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Lt. Kirtland gave illustration of
the life of a Christian in the
Marines. Sometimes it is a bit
hard but the Lord always gives
VICtory.
Pastor Chapman closed in
prayer after which there was
continued fellowship.
Faith Baptist Church is
located on Rt. 35, six miles west
of Gallipolis, and the general
public is cordially invited to
attend any or all the services
and programs of the church.

LINDA Fraley and Mike Wolfe will play Kay Banks and
Buckley Dunstan in the GAHS Thespian Club's March 13

By
Cindy Roush
and
Lee Ann Johnson
GALLIPOLIS - Two young
girls, Zelda Arnold and
Christine Holzer, confronted
Mrs. Leo Bean, the founder of
Girl Scouts in Gallipolis, with a
question that started her in a
Girl Scout career which ran
from 1927 to 1934.
The question was stated
something like this: " Will you
be our Girl Scout leader? We
have a handbook."
Now, what would you do if you
were faced with a problem like
this? Mrs. Bean said she didn't
know a thing about Girl Scouts
and she had one handbook as a
guide.
The State Girl Scout Council
Headquarters was not very
efficient in 1927, as Girl Scouts
were only 15 years old when
Gallipolis entered the program.
Therefore Mrs. Bean had to
wait until the second year vf
Scouting in Gallipolis before a
consultant could come down
from the State Council and brief
the leaders on the proper rules
of running Girl Scouts.
When Girl Scouts first started
here, the girls were divided into
three troops, Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian troops. Each
troop had its own representative.
A few members of the group
of local supporters were Lola
Neal who was noted for her
nature study with the girls and
her star constellations, Mrs.
Leo Carter and Mrs. Marvin
Stewart.

Today, Gallia County has an
approximate total of 335 Girl
Scouts. These Scouts are
divided into 15 troops: five
brownie troops, six junior
troops, three cadette troops,
and one senior troop.
Today marks the beginning of
the 44th year of Girl Scouting in
Gallia County. The Girl Scouts
would like to express many
thanks to people like Mrs. Bean
and her two daughters, Mrs.
Reed and Mrs. McGinniss.

Gallia County's Girl Scout
Program would not be as
modern or as strong as it is
today without the support and
time given through the years by
the people of this area.
Again the Girl Scouts say
"Thank you."
One way the girls are expressing their thanks is by

The teacher placed me so as
to have plenty of swingin' room,
but I was lucky. I wore a spare
pair of jeans under my overalls,
had on high-top boots, and all
wer sopping wet - a good
shield. The switch broke about
the third whack.
"Orin, you're next!" My
classmate, Orin Henry shuffled
forward. During Orin's tour of
duty, Mr. Tope's blood pressure
clearly approached 300. He's
broken two switches.
"Charles, up here!" Charles
Drummond,
Watterson's
buddy. Same deal. The floor
was becoming littered with
apple fagots.
"Watterson, your turn!" Oh,
oh! Stub had his pants rolled up
and low shoes, and George was
gettin' a mite frenzied. Stub got
a fair hidin' - three or four
sticks worth.
"Willard!" Willard Cox, the
biggest boy in school. George
stood up about his shoulder.
Man! the splinters flew
thhrough the room like
shrapnel. It's unlikely Willard
even flinched.
There Teach stopped; either
from exhaustion or sheer
frustration. Whatever we'd
done there were lots more
subjects: Eli Evans, Lester
Henry, and others. Obviously,
this was a group game.
Presently with forced calm,
George said, "Now, I want
everyone here to look at the load
of mud tracked in here at lunch
time." We did, and it was
considerable - a few bushels.
We knew at once, without
elaboration, the cause of
punishment.
"So! The next time this
happens," he continued, "I'll
blister every last one of you if it
takes all day - and I'll cut the
switches myself."
Now, one must admit that was
a very dramatic, but extremely
effective, way to teach an entire
school that shoes must be
cleaned before entering. And,
too, a one-room schoolteacher
had to be efficient - and that
was efficiency personified.
Yessir-ee-bob! So much so,
Stub and I walked in grass all
the way home.

rang the bell a bit quick and
amidst general grumbling we
traipsed inside. When we had
settled, he brusquely called me
to his desk.
"John," he asked, loud and
clear, "how soon can you cut me
some switches?" Total, acute
silence.
"Why ... uh ... right away, sir
... I guess."
"Fine! I want at least a
dozen. As soon as you can." Mr.
Tope's face was grim, and
growing pale around the gills,
and the cords in his neck
showed noticeably. He didn't
look good to me at all.
"Here, use my knife- the big
blade
because I want switches as big as my thumb and
five-feet long?" Now, for a
small man, Mr. George had a
pretty large thumb.
"All pupils will study at their
desks until this matter is
disposed of," he commanded as
I left the building.
Man! What's with Teach, I
wondered? Who was gonna
catch it? Not me, surely. You
reckon he'd been keeping a list
and this was payday? What had
Watterson been doing? I'd
better take precautions.
Now, an ample supply of
saplings was always nearby at
Oak Grove. They had a bad
habit of growing back every
summer. But each type of wood
has its own characteristics.
Hickory- oh, no! Maple- just
as bad. Oak - rough, tough, and
chunky. Willow - regular
buggy whips.
Aha ! - the perfect species ! A
deserted apple tree with a host
of unpruned shoots; very formidable looking, long, smooth
and slender. But apple withes
have one redeeming quality
besides holding up apples; they
snap on the first good, solid
blow. I cut a dozen, making an
impressive bundle, indeed.
"Thank you, John. Excellent!", master George
responded, accepting my sheaf.
"Now please stand here before
the class. You are the first to be
punished."
Holy smokes, me! What for!
for cryin' out loud! Sudden,
churning, mental gymnastics!

Ohio Will Increase

BY LEE LE ARD
COLUMBUS 1 UPI) - lnrus
"State of the State" message,
Gov. John J. Gilligan suggested
the state undertake accelerated
programs costing roughly $1
billion in new money according
to estimates.
He said it was up to the
legislature to decide, with the
help of the people, but his

Ohio Politics
speech was an indication he
knows which course he favors finding the new money and
spending it.
The governor already is
engaged in producing a series of
films to help persuade the
public and the legislators his
programs are necessary, and on
March 15, he is to outline "in
exquisite detail" how he
proposes to get the money.
On his side, he has the
revenue -raising recommendations of a special task
force. The recommendations
are general, but they are
reported to be in line with
Gilligan's own thinking.
Furthermore, 30 of the 34 task
force members agreed substantially with the majority
report, which called for
enactment of personal and
corporate income taxes.
A graduated personal income
tax at rates close to the national
average - 2 to 6 per cent would raise about $500 million in
Ohio. A corporate net income
tax would raise about $50
million for each per cent of rate.
Two Nearly Enough
These two taxes alone could

job. He taguht about 30 pupilsall classes, all grades - one
furough eight. He was principal,
faculty, health officer, athletic
director, coach, umpire,
secretary, librarian, custodian,
what-have-you -and, for sure,
disciplinarian. And, at about 120
pounds in his overcoat, the
latter was not the easiest of his
many tasks. Even some of the
girls outweighed him.
The windowless front wall
held the blackboards; in front of
these the teacher's desk, then a
row of pew-type benches, a big
coal burning barrel stove, rows
of desks, and some benches in
back for when attendance was
extra good. (These were seldom
needed in hunting season.)
This memorable day had been
preceded by the usual fall
period of nighttime freezes and
daytime thaws. The school-site
had been carved from a hillside
forest in the remote past and the
only grass was some hardy
weeds that grew in summer. These mostly disappeared the first week.
Thenceforth, we had a solid clay
playground- great when dry
for softball marbles, tag,
basketball, rope skipping, and
pole vaulting (with hand-peeled
hickory poles) but a
quagmire when wet.
The yard, being shaded by hill
and trees, wasn't too bad at first
recess. By lunch time, it had
thawed to a merry slicky-slide.
Most small children stayed
inside or used the leafy
woodland for play. The older
boys (having snuck a couple of
sandwiches while master
George was occupied) took
immediately and joyfully for
the mud-flat. A handy bank was
just dandy for testing one's skill
at mud-skiing - feet braced,
arms spread, distance without
falling, the object.
Then a sore loser might fling
a mudball and a miniature
Waterloo erupted; including,
occasionally, hand-to-hand
combat. A milder pastime was
daubing a mudball on a pointed
stick and throwing for distance
(and accuracy if you caught
someone unawares.)
This noon, we thought George

fast. Say, like a Johnny Bench
shot up the middle. The pitcher
must try to field it, but what he
really wants is a handy foxhold.
"Yep!"
"Really! How come?"
How, why, where, whom? The
recollection evoked a pile of
fond memories.
The time was late autumn in
the early 'thirties when my
brother, Watterson ("Stub"),
and I attended Oak Grove; a
one-room institution with
outdoor plumbing on the Neighborhood Road.
On a typical day, Mom called
to our upstairs bedroom at 6:30,
we fought over the tin washbasin (in dead winter we broke
the ice), argued who'd stolen
the quilts during the night, slid
into shirts and overalls, and
rushed down to lace our shoes
before the dining room
fireplace. Then, out to the barn,
chicken house, and hog lot for a
few quick chores a!ld back for
breakfast. Eggs, sausage,
biscuits or fried bread and
butter, rolled oats or cornmeal
mush, jelly, preserves, applebutter, and lots of rich,
Jersey milk. For a long, active
day one needs a hearty breakfast.
We toted our lunches in Karo
syrup pails, packed with meat
and peanut butter jelly sandwiches, pie or cake, an apple or
pear. Biscuits were best, but
one lightbread sandwich was
always good for tradin'. Milk?
That was for home. At school we
had clear, cold, spring water.
By 7:30 we were hustling
down the Paxton Road to Henry
Halley's farm, onto the King
Road for a spell, then up a path
throug. Okey Henry's farm to
fue sch ol - about two miles all
told .

Set at Ohio U
ATHENS - A precedent will
be set Friday, March 12, at the
Ohio University's Forum
Theater. For the first time in
the University's history, the
combined talent and resources
of the Schools of Music,
Theater, and Dance will be
realized in a full , professional
production of an opera.
Igor Stravinsky's opera "The
Nightingale" will be produced
under the dual directorship of
Franklyn Dybdahl, musical
director and conductor, and
Seabury Quinn, production
coordinator and stage director.

be arranged to account for $750
million in new money Probably close enough to
Gilligan's goals to satisfy him.
Aside from Republican
reluctance to go along with the
governor's plans, the largest
stumbling block in the General
Assembly would be organized
labor advocates, who oppose a
personal income tax until a
corporate tax is enacted and
sales tax loopholes are closed to
corporations.
It would seem, then, that if
Gilligan could work out a
compromise between the task
force recommendations and
labor plans he could carry his
package to the legislature with
heavy support.
Whether he can negotiate a
compromise before he delivers
his budget - tax message in a
week remains to be seen.
The Ohio AFL-CIO, which is
spearheading the independent
labor tax plan, seems in no
mood for immediate compromise, although spokesmen
note the governor has said he
"can see no reason why the two
couldn't be reconciled."
"We are not talking in

generalities," said Warren J .
Smith, secretary-treasurer of
the Ohio AFL-CIO, whose tax
proposals would raise $505
million a year. "He (Gilligan)
knows what we've got."
Labor Support Needed
Smith said his organization is
willing to accept changes in its
outlay. "We are not closing any
doors," he added.
At the same time Smith
believes his group can take a
strong stand. "I've never seen
the labor movement pull out of
the game with zero," he said.
And asked what the governor
would get if he attempted to
push on without labor support,
Smith answered: "I would say
he would get nothing."
The labor group played a
large part in Gilligan's election,
and may feel it is now in
position to call in an IOU.
Realizing this and noting the
lack
of
progress
on
negotiations, it may be the
governor's plan to go with his
own revenue-raising recommendations approaching the
task force report.
If necessary, he can work
with labor later on a com-

promise, perhaps involving
other areas of inter~st to the
AFL-CIO.
Some sources say Gilligan
will lay his own plan right on the
line and put the burden on the
legislature to enact it. Others
say he will offer a basic format

with possible alternatives for
the General Assembly to consider according to the amount of
money it wishes to raise.
As the governor told the
lawmakers in his "State of the
State" address: "It is your
choice. You must decide."

Battle Looms Over Dog Control Law
There's a battle shaping up in
the Ohio State Legislature that
could produce one of the better
rough-and-tumble, no-holdsbarred brawls in the recent
history of our State.
Lines have been drawn,
anununition is ready, the big
guns are in place and aimed. No
shot has yet been fired, but
when the first one is, there will
be a retaliatory barrage of such
magnitude to be beyond belief.
The
upcoming
fracas
deserves further investigation.

MIDDLEPORT - Chief Master Sergeant Clifford H.
Roush, brother of Mrs. Wihna Sargent, 797 S. Second Ave.,
Middleport, is a member of the U.S. Air Force advisory team
deep in the Mekong Delta that has received special
recognition for enhancing the combat capability of the
Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF) . Sergeant Roush, a n aircraft
maintenance superintendent, and his fellow a irmen have
assisted the VNAF's 225th Helicopter Squadron at Soc Trang
AB, Vietnam, in becoming operationally ready for its first
combat assault mission - some six months a head of target
date. The squadron operates UH-1 Huey Helicopters as troop
ca rriers, gunships and conunand and control aircraft as a
component of the VNAF's 4th Air Division. Roush is a 1940
graduate of Racine High School. His wife is the former Mary
F. Cross, daughter of Mr. a nd Mrs. Dillon Cross, Racine.

The Association suggests
strongly that the dogs causing

PORTLAND - Whether it's creating
something chic to wear, preparing a three
course dinner for 20, performing at a talent
show, or cultivating the crops, Shirley
Johnson can do it and do it well.
This young Portland homemaker has a
multitude of talents and the vim, vigor and
vitality to use them to the fullest.
She is vice president of the PTA at the
Letart Falls School where her son, Brian,
is a third grader; is an active member of
the Racine Chapter, Order of the Eastern
Star, the Portland Methodist Church and
the Portland Homemakers Club, and has
served as an officer at one time or another
in all of them.
An accomplished organist, pianist and
vocalist, Shirley is called on frequently to
use her talents for the enjoyment and
benefit of church, community and school.
"I love to sing, especially at church, and
have sung at O.E.S. meetings, weddings,
and PTA festivals," she said.
Her husband, Don, a process
technician at Shell Chemical at Belpre,
surprised her with a new console piano at
Christmas.
Shirley makes all of her own clothes
and a few things for Brian and Bruce.
Bruce is six and in kindergarten at the
Racine school. This winter she has also
crocheted three afghans, numerous long

'~
c

,scarves, made two rugs, did some embroidering and turned out many of the
family's Christmas gifts for friends and
relatives.
In addition, Shirley is a whiz in the
kitchen, her specialty being bread, rolls
and muffins. She likes to make candies; in
December she turned out 140 poWlds of
hard tack, part of which went to the Letart
PTA for a fund raising project.
Spring with its balmy weather will
bring even busier days, Shirley said, as
she relates plans for the family sideline
business of raising and marketing
strawberries, cabbage and tomatoes. She
assists her husband with the planting, the
cultivating, and the packing. It's not
unusual to see Shirley driving the tractor
around the Johnsons' 50-acre farm, or
setting up the irrigation pipes.
Besides that, Shirley has her own
garden which provides enough vegetables
for freezing and canning to see the family
through the winter.
The family does lots of boating, picnicking and fishing in the summer months.
Last summer they built a large addition
onto their home which for several years
they have been remodeling, a room at a
time, doing most of the work themselves.
Shirley is concerned about present day
school problems and is committed to doing

POMJ£.1:WY - Don and Hetty Lou Becker have a
"togetherness" surpassed by few. They even manage to go to the
hospital together.
Betty Lou entered the Pleasant Valley Hospital last Saturday
night and on Sunday gave birth to a son, Christopher Chroll.
While her husband visited her on Sunday, he was checked by a
doctor, the diagnosis of pneumonia was made, and he was put to
bed· in the other end of the hospital.
The obstetrics ward, of course, was now off-limits to Don.
Thursday, Betty Lou had surgery; Friday, they operated on Don.
Don's surgery didn't relate to his pneumonia, but rather to
some problems he has had with his wrist and knee since an auto
accident three years ago in which both he and his wife were
seriously injured.
All are progressing nicely and it looks like mother, father and
baby will be coming home in a week or so.
SHIRLEY JOHNSON
everything she can to see that the schools
her sons attend have the moral and
financial support to do a better job of
educating.
As an individual, a wife and a mother,
Shirley Johnson seems to have achieved
that plateau of success and happiness so
sought after by women everywhere.

WHAT FUN SURPRISES
Mrs. Eldon Weeks turned 70Thursday and the occasion didn't
pass by unnoticed. The Ladies Aid of the Enterprise United
Methodist Church saw to that! The snow storm interfered a bit
with several of the people planning to come, but the celebration
went on.
It was the regular day for quilting at the church and when
Mrs. Weeks arrived there was a decorated cake baked by Mrs.
Willard Wilson, gifts and cards for her, The Rev. and Mrs.
William Airson, Mrs. Carl Moore, Mrs. Ben Buck, Mrs. Fred
Clark, Mrs. Herbert Dixon, and Mrs. Wilma Stobart were there
for a chicken dinner at noon. Due to road conditions, Mrs. Walter
Walker, Mrs. Philip Smith, and Mrs. James Will, all faithful
church quilters, didn't make it to the celebration.

unanimously accepted by the
over 100 women attending the
World Day of Prayer service
Friday at the S}Tacuse United
Presbyterian Church.
The women pledged to
present the proJect in their
respective churches and actively work toward securing
donations to the fund.
Mrs. Neutzling commented on
the program topic "A New Life
Awaits" a nd spok
the united

prayers of women everywhere
in the common celebration of
World Day of Prayer. She said
prayer is the key to unity
around the world and Christians
everywhere need to think, talk
and pray about being brothers
and sisters in God's human
family.
Leader for the service was
Mrs. Pearl McBride who led in
a responsive reading on the
purpose of the meeting. There
was group singing of ' 'Joy to the
World" and a dialogue entitled
"Vision for the New Life" by
Mrs. McBride, Mrs. Agnes
White,
Mrs.
Margaret
Winebrenner, Mrs. Ada Slack,
and Mrs. Myla Hudson.
Choir of the Syracuse church
sang "Beautiful Garden of
Prayer," and Mrs. Jean Hall
read scripture from Isaiah and
Colossians.
"Our Vision to Commitment
and Action" was the topic of a
talk given by the Rev. Russell

Lester. Miss Frankie Mumaw
gave scripture from Acts and
Matthew, and prayers were
offered by Mrs. Glenna Davis,
Mrs. Beatrict Blake, Mrs.
Genevieve Schneider, Mrs .
Helen Diddle, and Mrs.
Margaret Cottrill. During these
prayers, Mrs. Neutzling played
"The Lord's Prayer" on the
organ and the choir chanted it.
The offertory prayer was
given by Miss Marcia Karr with
Mrs. J. E. Harley, Mrs. Gretta
Simpson, Mrs. Maidie Mora,
and Mrs. Catherine Welsh
receiving it. The $70 given by
the women will go to the Intercontinental Mission program
of assistance to underprivileged

Two Film Strips Shown
Pertaining to Drugs
TUPPERS PLAINS - On
March 2, two film strips pertaining to drugs were shown to
the student body of Eastern
High School.
The first fi
titled
'•Uppers and D
What
This
Killed Billy Ln
dealt with the
Amphetamines and Barbiturates or uppers and
downers respectively . Amphetamines or stimulates are
used by people wanting to lose
weight and by truck drivers
wanting to stay awake at night.
This type of drug is used mostly
by adults and can be found in
almost any home.
Barbiturates or depressents
are used by people with great
pain because without them they
would be unable to sleep.
Both of these drugs are
greatly over produced and large
amounts find they way to the
black market.
They are the leading cause for
suicide deaths among young
people and adults.
The second film strip was
"Psychedelics: A Way to
Travel." This film dealt with

everything from sniffing glue to
LSD.
The bad effects of glue
sniffing are that it causes brain
damage,
destroys
bone
marrow, attacks the central
nervous system and can even
cause death.
The next top1c discussed was
hallucinogens. The most
dangerous of these is LSD. LSD
is so powerful that one ounce is
enough for approximately
300,000 average doses. LSD
causes chromosome damage
and seems to change the
chemical and electrical activity
of the brain.
Mary Jane, pot, tea, grass,
and weed are all names for
marijuana. Not much is known
about marijuana but it mostly
depends upon the individual and
· the company he keeps.
Eastern High School will have
more drug programs this school
year. The drug programs are a
project of the Eastern High
Student Council.

According to Mrs. Eason,
"There are no special schools or
classes for cerebral palsied

programs; however, they are
usually available only to ambulatory children and adults."
