Secretary McCann Speaks
Of Bad Condition In
Industry
WORKERS DEPARTING
For West And South Where Gas
Field Is Still Productive And
Where The Utica Concern
Will Probably Move
Plant

Secretary McCann of the Licking
Glass Co.. of Utica, was in the city
Thursday evening and, in converse
tion with a reporter for The Banner,
spoke of the glass condition in Utica
where the gas has been shut Off
Mr.. Mccain said that the Ohio
Fuel Supply Co., from which his fac
tory has been obtaining its gas, gave
notice several months ago that a
shutoff might be expected any time
and further stated that, after October,
1911, it would be absolutely impos.
sihle to supply any factories in this
district.
The Licking Glass Co.. is the owner
of several gas wells near Utica but,
according to Mr. McCann, the flow
from these is insufficient to operate
his factory.
1t is extremely probable says Mr..
McCann, that no more gas will be
forthcoming from the Ohio Fuel Sup
ply Co. until next spring. In the
meantime, his concern expects to
look around with view of a new To-
cation.
AS the Ohio gas field is well-nigh
exhausted, at least as far as factory
purposes are concerned, it is the in
tention of the Licking company to
move from this state, possibly going
to Kansas OF Oklahoma
Employees of the Licking company,
who have been thrown out of work
by the shutdown of the factory, are
already leaving for the south and the
west.
The cessation of the activities of
the factory is a serious thing to Utica
and means the loss of number of in
habitants.

Irnmortelles" Points Out A
Solution Of Christmas
Problems
MUSIC is VERY FINE
Program, Prepared BY Mrs. Wither
ell, Exceptionally Delightful
Actors Convey To Audience
Real Meaning Of The
Yuletide Season

Those who have Christmas prob
lems to solve could have very easily
accomplished their ends in regard TO
these perpleXing problems which con-
front so many each year had they at
tended the "lmmortellss," play writ
ten by Miss Emma Cole of the Mt.
Vernon public schools and presented
by the teachers of the west side
school at the high school auditorium
Friday evening.
Preceding the play, some very at
tlactive selections were rendered by
pupils from the seventh and eighth
grades of the west side school, Prob
ably one of the best was vocal Sc
lection by A. b. Clark with a chorus
OF number of girls.
There was a trio which held the
attention of its audience very well.
These selections were all of an ex-
ceptional quality and Mrs. Witherell,
who had charge of the arrangement
of the program, may be heartily con
graduated upon the results she OBJ
tanned.
y full house greeted the players
who aided in the production of the
'lmmortelles" and was very much
pleased as soon as the play had be-
gun with Mrs. Fannie Witherell in
the role of Tidy, the maid, noncho-
lantly busting and humming tunes
OF a number of varieties.
Then came the arrival of the I'm
mortelles at the home Of Polly Per-
kins, where Tidy is employed, to
discuss their various Christmas prob
lens and to pack box to send to a
destitute family in the west. All OF
the roles wer played with the proper
amount of life and energy and the
curiosity Tidy showed as to the
clothes of all was very good.
When the packages that contained
clothes for the family to be aided
are opened, the articles of clothing
that the girls brought out were ridic-
ulous and gave the play its real nor.
al, Only Miss Dorothy Blair, in her
rather difficult role, sees the real
meaning Of Christmas and teaches
the girls lasting lesson by bringing
sensible things and not merely cast.

Finally, when the whole cast sings
Silent Night" is the full meaning OF
the play realized. 1t is for this that
Miss Cole, the authoress, should re-
ceive full credit. But not for this
alone, as the different predicaments
Of the Immortelles are actually true
to life and a great lesson could be
evolved from the play, were one but
toGthink of it as true to the ordinary
life of the people of today.
The play by Miss Cole, with the en-
joyable program arranged by Mrs
Witherell, was great success in
every way and was enjoyed to the
fullest extent by all who saw it.
