December 2l Meet
1nportdnt for No. 33
Officers To Be Selected For
Coming Yedr

Beaver Falls, Pa.-At the last
meeting of Local Union No. 33, the
entertainment committee prepared a
lunch, music for dancing, and all the
ingredients for a good time, but evil
IDENTIFY our members hadn't heard of
the preparations, because they stayed
away in droves. Perhaps they were
afraid of the collection plate.
Brother William Franklin, jigger-
man, has been working here the past
couple of weeks. We hope he likes us
and the job.
While we would like to have all of
our members present at all the meet
ings, we are asking the members to be
certain to attend the one scheduled
for December 2l. Officers will be
nominated for the coming year at this
time. If you are not satisfied, now is
the time to come out and see that a
change is made.
The committee has promised some
thing special for the occasion.

The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-01

Almost a year ago, an ox-train
caravan left Ipswich, Massachu-
sets, to recall the westward mi
grafton of the forefathers from New
England. The caravan, feature of
the northwest territory celebration,
spent months following the route
taken by group of men and women
who settled in Ohio and other parts
Of the territory in 177S.
In striking contrast to this slow
cross-country trek, was the recent
rescue expedition of twenty-four en-
ployees Of The Ohio Power Company
who flew to aid in the restoration of
electric service in that part of New
England devastated by hurricane
and tidal wave. With highways de-
stroyed and complete breakdown
Of railroad facilities, airplanes pro-
vided the only rapid means of trans
portation. At 1:30 AM. on Septem-
ber q, 2S-passenger United Main
liner took off from the Akron Air
port with the rescue expedition and
in less than four hours arrived in
Providence in the center of the
storm-torn area.
The appeal for assistance came
to Mr.. Frank Howard, Assistant
General Manager of The Ohio Pow
q q q hn VT
of the damage was realized, and he
at once got under way the organiza-
tion of a crack construction unit
which would be ready to make the
trip to New England Immediately
upon receipt of definite information
Of the exact destination of his group.
He also established communication
with other utility companies in the
middle west and furnished informa-
tion to officials Of New England
power companies as tc the assis-
tance they might secure from other
groups in the Ohio area. This service
was gratefully rendered, not only
because of the human desire to as
sist in relieving the intolerable con-
ditions in New England, but also
in remembrance of the aid that New
England power companies furnished
during the disastrous Ohio River
floods in 1886 and 1887.
The route of the plane as it ap.
preached it's destination was along
Long Island Sound and the Connecti-:
cut and Rhode Island coast line.
The linemen were able to appreci-
ate the extent of the job before
them, for the destruction wrought
by the storm was discernible even
at the high altitude at which they
flew. What had once been homes
were piles Of broken and torn boards
and masonry. Beautiful resort towns
were turned into heaped-up piles
of rubbish, and wooded sections
were tangles of brokes and uprooted
trees.
Upon arrival in Providence, It
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-01

was necessary to secure sleeping
accommodations for the men in pri.
vate homes and cafeteria was set
up at one Of the power stations of
the Narragansett Electric Company
where meals were provided for the
working forces.
The destruction wrought by the
storm in Providence defies descrip.
tion. Only ten per cent of the City
Of Providence and the surrounding
area was receiving electric service.
The steam generating plant located
in the city was caught in the tidal
wave and operations had to be sus-
pended until repairs were made. The
plant being out of commission did
not delay the reestablishment of
service because an interconnected
transmission system, connecting
Providence with other generating
stations, made electric energy avail.
able in any section where distribu-
ton facilities were not destroyed.
The Ohio Power Company force
was divided into three crews, two of
which used stake-bodied trucks and
the third using one of the com.
pany's own line trucks which ar
rived two days after the arrival of
the men. The immediate concern
was the restoration of service to
institutions of general public well
fare such as hospitals, schools,
pumping stations and industrial
plants, upon which many of the citi-
zens were dependent for their liv.
ing.
The routine of the work was re.
lieved by many amusing examples
of the originality Of the citizens Of
Providence. One filling station op-
orator had solved his gasoline pump
problem by rigging up a bicycle to
take the place Of his electric pump.
He had replaced the rear wheel of
the bicycle with a pulley which he
connected by means of a belt to
the motor shaft of his pump and in
stead of pressing a button when a
u o m r wanted gasoline, he
climbed up on his bicycle and ped.
died away until the tank was filled.
The old axiom of never missing the
water till the we'll runs dry was
verified by the people of Providence.
The men were told on every hand
by the people with whom they came
into contact in restoring service that
they had never realized what a large
part electric service played in their
daily routine, nor how much it con.
tributed to their comfort, until it
was taken away by an act of God
and they were compelled to adapt
themselves to living without it.
The workmen were always the
center Of attraction in the neigh.
borhood and the people couldn't do
enough for them. They were so
anxious to have their service re-.
stored that in some cases they

MOTOR CARRIERS HELP MAY
BE PLACED UNDER |. c. {

Washington, D. C.-An order has
been sent to the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York by the Interstate
Commerce Commission wherein it is
revealed the Commission will shortly
determine whether it shall extend the
jurisdiction which it has previously
exercised over the hours of service of
drivers for motor carriers to other
employees of those motor carriers,
whether common or contract carriers,
or private carriers, who are engaged
in interstate commerce.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-12-01

would offer the men money II they
would leave the section in which
they were working and take the time
to restore service in another part
of the City. The offers ran from
$4,000 to several hundred and were
all declined with the explanation
that everything possible was be-
ing done to completely restore serv-
ice, and that jumping around would
not only cause confusion but III the
end delay the complete reestablish.
ment of service.
The good housewives of Provi-
dence kept the men supplied with
sandwiches and coffee, and one eld-
erly lady set up regular cafeteria
in her front yard and maintained Q
table with sandwiches, doughnuts
and hot coffee for the men the whole
time they were in the neighborhood.
On another occasion, an elderly gen.
tleman was so eager to show his
gratitude and bound not to be out
done by the women folks, that he
provided the men with cartons Of
cigarettes.
The Spirit Of '76 was apparent
everywhere you turned. The people
of Rhode Island, although many had
lost members of their families and
friends and nearly all had suffered
severe financial losses as a result of
the disaster, were taking it with
their heads high and buckled down
to the work Of salvaging and re-
building.
The Ohio Power Company forces
spent the first week in restoring
service in the southwest section of
the City of Providence and then
moved into the outlying rural sec.
tions west and southwest of Provi.
dence. In this area, devoted to spe-
cialized farming, hatcheries, dairies.
chicken raising, hog raising and
butcheries, the destruction wrought
by the storm was even more COM
plete. The work Of restoring service
was carried on with feverish haste.
and as in the City of Providence.
many short cuts were taken to the
end that the farms and homes
might have the electric service
which meant so much to their earn
ing power and their living comfort.

WAGE HOUR LAW PRAISED

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins opened the
fifth national conference on labor leg
islation with a statement of high
praise for the new wage hour law.
"While it was too early to evaluate
fully the effect of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, there is no reason to
doubt it's ultimate contribution to So

country" the Secretary said.

Truly excellent skiing in the
Douglas Island Ski Area is reported
by Ted Coomora, on his return to
Juneau after spending the night at
the Ski Cabin.
There is at least seven inches of
loose, dry powder snow on top of
II inches of hard base, covering
the slopes of the entire bowl above
the cabin, with the trail in a ski
able condition from the cabin down
to the two-mile post, he declared.
There is also five inches of powder
on six inches of crusted base in the
basin above the new trail up from
the second meadow. but there is no
skiing on the new trail itself. The
temperature at the Ski Cabin was
twelve degrees above zero at 7:30
o'clock yesterday morning, he re-

DISCOVERED
Dark Eyes Are Best Be-
hind Steering Wheel
During Night Time
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Editor

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov TO-
Harvard scientists have discovered
that dark-eyed motorists see better
in night driving than ''light-eyed"
drivers.
BY light" eyes, it is explained
is meant not the color, but the
amount OF pigment. Light grey,
light blue and light green eyes
usually fall into the 'light-eyed"
class.
Harry r. DeSilva and Philip Rob-
inson had 1888 persons peer into a
box Stimulating in miniature night
driving scene Two glaring lights
shone in their eyes.
The objects they tried TO see was
not a car but stripes on a sort of
rotating barber pole.
The dark-eyed persons, no matter
what their age, could see the stripes
quicker than the light-eyed.
If these findings are corroborat-
ed by future investigation, the
Harvard men say, light-eyed driv-
ers as a group should be educated
to drive more cautiously at night.
