Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-08-27

er of the press, a certain sense
of the dramatic crept in and the
imagination once turned loose
pictured a second Walter Win
chell surrounded by flashs and
the thrill of telling-ott non-be-
levers. But alas, the recent
cold mornings and the resulting
chills have so iced the would-be
journalistic blood that in the
place of the fearless crusader,
there now stands an ordinary cl-
tizen wondering how he can ev-
er find enough words to fill this
column.
One bright spot, however,
stands over this chilled communl-
ty with a picture of smoke stacks
to come, for it now seems posi-
tive that Newark is to have not
a new spark but real live fire
to boil its industrial blood. Yes,
the aluminium plant is definite,
and what was once some OF the
best farm land of a great farm
ing county will soon undergo the
results of these changing times
and in the place of better than
the best corn and wheat will soon
stand the shape of a great fac
tory further solidifying what we
who live here have always felt,
that Newark stands for, a union
of agriculture and industry and
into the banks will soon be COM
ing an ever increasing flow of
money as new labor earns and
spends this new life blood of our
community.
If the thought of this new in
dustry isn't enough of a stimu-
liant to chase the chills of a COM
ing winter, then can | suggest
further warmth, a warmth guar
anteed to kindle that spark that
every citizen of Newark is sure
to have-his patriotism. Going
even farther than last year, if
this be possible, the management
of Buckeye Lake park has pro
duced another pageant by its
employees that has that certain
something that makes one real
ize why we can and always will
be Americans with a thousand
American communities like this,
our own.
And if there should still be a
certain dread hanging about you
like the shadows Of the long un-
dearwear to come with cooler
weather, let's remember that ev-
en- though the Don River in Rus
sia may be running red with the
blood of many and that Europe
LAYS blackened under the smoke
of bombs and cannons, here in
Licking County with the chang
ing of the leaves and the first in
dications of a coming fall, some
of us think of other guns and not
with the dread that war sug-
gests, for the hunting season is
now but around the corner. If
the thought of hunting isn't
enough to warm the blood of ev-
cry sportsman, take heart men,
for fall means football as well,
and we won't be jumping the
starter, if we should even now
wager an opinion or two on the
prospects of our local high school
or even a guess as to what Paul
Brown will do at Ohio State. If
you wish there is the World Ser
les just a month away. The WorlC
Series the climax Of what has
always been the great American
game.
And ladies, if you don't hunt,
follow baseball or football, re-
member there are new fall styles,
so | am told, and the gossip is
that already the local stores are
featuring the best in more than
attractive window displays; so
remember these cool evenings to
take a walk around the square,
even if for nothing but little
window shopping, - happy
thought.
But what goes on here,-the
unbridled power of the press has
been corralled, the Would-be Win
chell has not yet pointed that
first finger of scorn or given out
! that first undaunted flash, and
yet the deed is not done. | have
been a columnist, for a day, and
some way hope that | have help
ed you to see that cool or not
summer or winter, Licking Coun
/ ty and it's Newark, is and al
ways will be, the best place to
/ call home.
