testified in favor of II. r. 1898. the
Justice Department bill that re-
moves race discrimination from our

and Naturalization, who explai-
ned the provisions of the bill.
He urged its enactment as II
had the approval of che Justice
Department.
The national legislative director
of the American Legion placed his
organization squarely against the
bill, declaring that they were OPP
posed to any bill that liberalizes
present immigration and depor-
tation laws. He accused the sup
porting organizations of trying TO
protect Illegal entrants, many of
whom were criminals and types not
desired in this country.
lie was followed by the vice
chairman of the Legion Ameri-
canism Committee. Reading from
a prepared statement, he outlined
the part the Legion had played in
developing present immigration and
deportation polices. He pointed
out that his organization had con-
sistently opposed any liberalization
of these laws and lashed out at the
section in HR. 1898 that would
grant the Attorney General the dis
erection to suspend the deportations
of aliens who had resided contin-
uously In the United States for
seven years. lie charged that this
was rewarding law violators and
eyaders BY placing a premium in
lodging the immigration officials.
He also objected To permitting the
Attorney General to suspend the
deportations of dangerous people"

that this was just trying TO open

BY GEORGE I. cRUM

Ben Hayes, in one of his articles,
about southeastern Ohio, wants to
know whether Tom Gale Rocks is
the proper name for the cave near
Owl Knob and who chiseled the In
dian head there. Well, Ben, that is
a sixty-four dollar question; and as
far as I know never has been salts
factorily answered.
But l do know that years ago this
cave was thought TO have been built
and inhabited by some Indian tribe
as certain carvings and other hero
glyphics would indicate. There never
were any excavations made to deter
mine how far the cave was built or
penetrated in the hill, But the gen.
eral opinion always prevailed that
had the cave been cleaned out and
proper excavations made some very
interesting discoveries and possibly
many Indian relics would have been
found.
The cave is situated near the
Knob. There is free running and
never failing spring water nearby,
which made it an ideal place for an
Indian camp. The high elevation is
another factor to support this idea.
The top of Owl Knob is considered
the highest point in southeastern
Ohio. The fact that one standing on
the Knob can count without the aid
of telescope IL country churches
on a clear day; and by using a small
telescope, can see four, or five more;
which would indicate its high elev-
alton. Cannot remember the exact
sea level figures but my recollection
it is about six to ten feet higher
than any other point in this section
The old country road leading from
Duck Creek to Middleburg which is
little more than a trail, winds
around the Knob in semi circle
and before the Virgin Forest on
either side of the road was cleared
was a gloomy road to travel. A ped
dler was once waylayed and robbed
there.
An accidental death is also cred
tied to this historic knob. Michael
(Mikey) Riddel who had acquired
the land was crushed to death by
a falling tree which he was chopping
down to make rails and posts. The
particulars surrounding this accident
never were known as he was alone
when it happened.
Rumors of ghosts or Spooks were
very frequently heard about this

and the four pair of blankets would
cost at present time about the same
in case you could get them, which
is unlikely. At any rate we were
Just as well off with those low prices
as we are to-day with prevailing
prices.
Those were the Good or Days;
most everything needed about the
home was made by hand such as
cord beds, chairs, dressers, cup
boards, even rugs and carpets. l
could name many homes in Duck
Creek Valley who are still using
furniture made more than sixty
years ago and still good for many
more years. The cost was a mere
trifle as compared with present day
prices Why, Uncle Sam Cronin as he
was called, would make you a set
of chairs consisting of six dining
room chairs, one large rocker and
one small rocker for the baby for
around twenty dollars. Posts were
made from curly maple, backs from
white oak or hickory, and seats OF
hickory or white oak splits AS com
pared to quality and workmanship
like set of chairs would cost today
around two hundred dollars.
Mr.. Hayes quotes Mr.. Miller as
saying that this section is the salt
of the earth, well l wouldn't say
that, but am sure there is none
better.
A slight mistake ocurred in my
article last week the short name for
Enoch as intended should have been
Enc" instead of Eve.
Now in closing this article l wish
to thank the Journal for space in
your very valuable paper giving us
chance to tell in our own feeble
way the past history and happenings

Name From It's Peculiar Formation

lonely spot. recall that one of my
older brothers, who when travelling
through this spot one dark night,
heard a noise in the leaves near the
side of the road and suddenly re-
membering the rumors about ghosts
he grabbed off his straw hat and
declared ghost or beast neither one
can run faster than I can and he
didn't stop running until several
hundred yards had been covered. He
later decided it was only rabbit
or some other small animal.
The so-called Owl Knob got its
name from its peculiar shape. Hav-
ing a rather abrupt and steep face
on the east and then sloping very
gradually towards the west and in
former days the dead trunks of two
large chestnut trees standing near
| its crest about fifty feet apart thus
giving it the appearance of a large
horned owl when viewed from a
distance. 7 we'll remember having
this pointed cut to me, by my father,
when 7 was 4 small boy.
In Mr.. Hayes first article he
makes mention Of the woolen mill
near Stafford. 7 can't say much con-
ce~ e~ning the construction and early
operation of this factory. However,
| / do know something about the
goods manufactured there as / made
frequent trips with my parents with
wool to- trade for goods, such as
blankets, yarn and cloth which were
used for the home. My mother used
the yarn to knit socks and stockings
foc the entire family and the cloth
for making shirts for the boys and
skirts and even dresses for the girls
The mill has long since been aband-
oned; but it sure was boon to the
farmers for miles around; as they
had ready, market for their wool.
! Would like to compare prices as of
then and now, for example, we re-
ceived l9 to % cents PEI pound for
our wool, but price we realized from
our wool very favorably compared
with what we were charged for
good. For instance, ten fleeces OF
wool usually weighed around one
hundred pounds, we only kept sheep
with coarse wool which was some
what lighter than the finer grades,
but for those ten fleeces we could
get in exchange, four pair of double
wool blankets T2 X ST inches and

IN Memory

In loving memory of our dear son
and brother, Cpl. Harvey Allen
Johnson, who gave his life for his
country, two years ago, March 29,
1945.
We loved him, Oh, no tongue can
tell,
How much we loved him and how
God loved him too and thought it
best
To take him home with him to rest.
We mourn for him in silence
No eyes can see us weep,
For many a silent tear is shed
While others are asleep.
They say time heals all broken
hearts,
But, Oh, that seems untrue,
For two years has so slowly passed, |,
And our hearts still long for you,
To forget you we could never,
It would be in vain to try,
Our thoughts are with you ever,
We will love you till we die.
Jesus, who doeth all things well,
has called Harley to his eternal
home, and some day we will meet
him and clasp our son and brothers
hand. Sadly missed by Father,
Mother, Brothers, and Sisters.
MR.. AND MRS. RADIO JOHNSON
