StOIeS.
"Opportunity Days" will
be held the first two days in
July by over 80 merchants in or
der that the people of this area
and southeastern Ohio might be-
come better acquainted with the
business stores in Caldwell.
The merchants in return are
anxious to become better ac-
quainted with their customers
and on July l and 2, "Opportun-
ity Days, they will go all out to
give the citizens of the commun-
ity a real buy on all merchan-
disc.
This is the first time in years
that "Opportunity Days" or
Dollar Days" have been observ-
ed in the Caldwell business area.
One local merchant said today
that he was planning to give a
25 percent reduction on every
item in his store.
Other merchants have been
planning for weeks, grouping to-
gether special merchandise to go
for $100 and many of the stores
have ordered a complete new
line especially for the two day
Caldwell-wide dollar value sale.
Cooperating with the mer-
chants, The Journal plans a 5000
circulation run for the "Oppor-
tunity Days issue and many of
these will be distributed in ad-
jacent communities to Noble
county, such as Pleasant City,
Cumberland, Whipple, Elba,
Lower Salem, Senecaville, Lew
isville, Reinersville, Lowell, Bev-
erly and many others.
This will be in addition to the
regular 1000 run of The journal,
which always covers Noble
county like the sunshine.
Every effort is being made to
make the first two days in July
one long remembered by the
customer.
The complete story of "Op-
portunity Days and the many
values which the local merchants
are giving will appear in the
June 80 issue of The Journal.

heavy wager rested on his nobil-
ity of character. A wealthy cloth
ing merchant in nearby town
once bet a whacking sum that
nobody in Caldwell would put in
knock against Cy.
Two thousand citizens, the
towns entire population, were
polled. Nobody had criticism
for Cy. This strikes me as re-
markable, since cutting up your
friends is standing operating pro-
cedure in most circles and most
places. 1t seems fantastic that a
man can live around the same
community for the best part of a
century without acquiring at
least one enemy.

Yet he is a sworn enemy of

refused to set whisky or beer ad-

hug me. Not even the drunks
were ever mad at me-"
Mr.. McGlashan is limping
around on cane now, and is
feeling pretty spry, although it
takes him an hour to walk one
block to church. 1t takes him
another hour to walk back. AS a
matter of fact, that's how he
broke his leg in the first place.
Broke it walking back from
church. Stumbled on the curb.
For two years Cy was on
crutches, while his old bones re-
luctantly knit. While he was on
crutches he never missed a
church service. He has taught
Sunday school for so years.
Cy is a great gardner. He was
planting potatoes when l went to
see him. During all the time he
was real lame he planted his
crops from a wheel chair. Says
the potatoes grew just as good
when he was crippled as they did
when he was hale. \
Mrs. McGlashan says she has
lived with Cy for SIS years and
has found him to be q model hus-
band. She says he never got out
of line once that she can remem-

nager of the company.
probably will not start for
rner. Acquisition of the site,
it was explained, is part of
the company's present plan
ming to meet anticipated
future requirements for power.
The new plant is planned as the
next major step in power plant
expansion of the American Gas
& Electric system, of which the
Ohio Power Company is part.
North Of Waterford
Located in Waterford town
ship, the land was purchased
from Clarence E. Semon, of Mar
ietta. The plant will be built on
the Muskingum river at a cost
tentatively estimated at $36,000,-
900. Adequate coal reserves to
supply the plant have been OBJ
tained in the Meigs Creek and
Dye Fork Valley area of Nor
gan and Noble counties. Right of
way also has been acquired from
coal fields to the plant for pos
sible installation of a conveyor
system.
The new plant site is four
miles north of Waterford on
what is known as River road.
: Several sites were considered
before the present location was
selected for the new plant. For
plant of this type many factors
must be evaluated, such as coal
and water supply, location with
respect to the company's trans
mission line network, and foun-
dation. conditions. The Semon
farm site adequately meets all of
these requirements, Turner said.
Advance Design
"In recent years, the techno-
logical advance in power plant
design has been rapid. The plans
for the new Muskingum river
plant will embody every modern
improvement. High pressure
steam with temperatures in ex-
cess of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit
is now being employed in many
power plants in the A. G. g. E.
system and the Muskingum plant
may well 60 to temperatures
higher than anything ever before
utilized" Turner said.
preliminary estimates, which
are susceptible to change, Tur-
ner said, indicate that the init
ial installation will consist of
two 150,000-kilowatt generating
units. Such a plant would be
somewhat smaller than the Ohio
Power company's 515,O00-kilo-
watt Philo plant On the Muskin-
gum river 10 miles south of
GAINESVILLE. The Philo plar' is
the largest in Ohio "a the
fourth largest in production in
Vic oHlISu otdte.
To Be Built Later
"The size of the new MuSkin-
gum plant and the schedule of
construction will depend largely
upon the future increases in
industrial demands for power in
the area served by the Ohio
Power company and the A. G. &
E. system. We cannot, therefore,
accurately forecast ultimate ca
pacity or date of completion of
the new plant, other than to say
it will be several years before
we plan to start construction" +,
Turner said.
When completed the new plant
will be interconnected with Ohio
Powers high-voltage tansmis-
sion system and will benefit the
entire area which the company
serves.
In addition to the Philo plant,
the Ohio Power company is sup
piled by two major generating
stations on the Ohio river south
of Steubenville. A fourth, the
new Philip Sporn plant under
construction on the Ohio river,
Pomeroy, is jointly owned with
the Appalachian Electric Power
company.

Loveii Bridge,
Elk Township.
Open To Traffic
Others Completed
At Huge Cost OF
S151.5SS.S3 BY State

tract jobs sold last fall by the
state highway department, Co.
lumbus, are nearing completion,
according to word received here.
This information was forthcom-
ing today when highway officials
announced the reopening of the
Lovett bridge across Duck creek
just north of Harriettsville on
State Route 145.
The huge concrete structure
replaces an old covered bridge,
which spanned the east fork of
Duck creek for years and was
constructed by the Seidensticker
Construction company, Colum-
bus.
Bridge on 285
East of Caldwell on State
Route 285 the Kent Construction
company, Columbus, has poured
the concrete piers and abutt-
ments on a new bridge near the
R. D. Buckley farm. This bridge
was sold, last December as a part
of contract which included the
Road Fork bridge at the junction
of routes 145 and 260.
The bridge east of town will
have a concrete floor and re-
places a narrow steel bridge
which was razed to make way
for the new structure. The con-
tract for both bridges was sold
last December with the Kent
Bros. company turning in the
low bid of 51,588.83, Work on
the Road Fork bridge is tenta-
lively scheduled to start in July.
Patching Completed
Local highway crews have fin
ished patching operations on
route 339, Dexter City-Beverly.
A contract for the resurfacing of
the road has been sold to Shelly
and Sands submitting the sue
cessful bid. The company also
has contract calling for the re-
surfacing of State Route 78
from Sharon, west to the Nor
gan-Noble county line.
Last summer route 78 received
a stabilization course and was
sealed. The new top-coat which
is to be applied by the contract
ors will bring to an end work on
the highway and will give the
county black top, hard surface
east-west road from the Monroe
county line into Reinersville and
Morgan county.
To Open Bids
On June 21 bids will be open
ed in Columbus on contract, call
ing for the resurfacing of routes
285 and 670. Last year the Cald-
well-Sarahsville road received a
limestone stabilization treatment
while 670, around the north side
of Seneca Lake, received a clay
stabilization treatment. The re-
surfacicng operations now being
planned will convert both high
ways into permanent first-class
roads.
Additional Projects
Other work being done by loc-
al highway crews include ditch
ing on route 566 and the install
lation of multi-plate arch on
route l45 near the Washington
Noble county line. The installa-
ton replaces the former Al
Mitchell bridge.
The road from the entrance of
Skyline Drive to the bathing
beach and park area on Seneca
Lake, was oiled last week to lay
the dust. A new bandite machine
which forces concrete into cracks
in bridge sidings and floors has
arrived at the local garage. 1t
will be used this summer to seal
all crevices in bridges and is of
special value in reducing damage
by freezing weather.

This, l believe, is the supreme
tribute to the beloved Mr.. Nc
Glashan. When the woman with
whom you have dwelt for SIS
years cannot lay tongue to a
single fault in her mate, he is
ready for the immediate occu-
pancy of the Golden Throne. So
l asked her again if there wasn't
some tiny, minute flaw in her
spouse's makeup.
Mrs. McGlashan mused. She
clucked and drummed her fin
gers on her knee. Finally she
spoke.
Before he lost his teeth" she
said, "Cy used to chew tobacco,
and spray the juice around about
something awful"
This corresponded with the re-
port of his nearest neighbor.

bacco he used to smoke in his
pipe smelled like hell. Yessir, Cy
used to smoke an awful stinky
pipe"
