nose. Many of them worked over

relieved his suffering to a certain
extent. Feet and hands being froz-

when snow drifts were as high on
the Mountville-Wrightstown road,

and horses and sleds were used;
snow drifts being over the top of
"stake n rider" fences, folks went
around through the fields. We are
not sure the weather was so cold
as now.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Watkins have
had open house to the sufferers

ciated.

one of Ohio's important natural re-
sources, according to a prediction
by Professor G. A. Bole of Ohio
State university's engineering ex-
pertinent station. Ceramic lum-
ber," clay product light in weight
and made in strips perhaps four
feet long by two feet wide, was the
term used by Professor Bole in de-
scribing the proposed product. Only
little research will be required to
make a strong, waterproof, cellular
clay suitable for homes, he said.
The so-called ceramic lumber"
would be fireproof, relatively high
in strength. heat insulator, an
acoustic corrective, resistant to wa
ter absorption. could be fooled cas-
