John Wysor DAWN, 81.
Head Of Nickel Plate,
Dies Of Long Illness
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. John Wy
sor DAWN, 81, president of the
Nickel Plate Railroad and chair
man of the board of the Wheeling
81 Lake Erie Railway, died early
today in his home.
Mr.. DAWN had been in i'll health
for some time and had not been
active in business affairs since last
July. He died in his sleep.
Mr.. DAWN entered the railroad
business in 1910 with the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway as a night
shift car checker. He climbed to
assistant to the president In 1898,
and was elected vice President in
1899.
Selected by Young.
Late in 1912, Robert Young, new
ruler Of the old Van Sweringen
empire, selected Mr.. DAWN to head
the 1,700-mile Nickel Plate, which
cuts through the industrial Middle
West from Buffalo, N. Y, on the
east to the st. Louis, Chicago and
Peoria, ILL.,. gateways on the west.
1t was Mr.. Davin's knowledge OF
coal-the life's blood of the Chesa-
peake g. Ohio and the Nickel Plate
Railroads-which made him a rail-
road president at the relatively
youthful age of so.
Mr.. Davin's first real job was in
the coal mine of his uncle, S. H.
Montgomery, at Montgomery, w.
Va. He later became the c. & o. S
executive in charge of coal develop
ment.
Promotion Was . Natural.
His promotion to the presidency
of Nickel Plate was not unnatural,
for 80 per cent of the railroads
freight is coal and coke. Virtually
all Of the fuel originated along
the C. & o. or on the Nickel Plate
subsidiary, the Wheeling & Lake
Erie Railroad.
He was born at Montgomery
March 10, 1892, to John and Mary
Elizabeth Montgomery DAWN. His
father, a contractor, helped build
the westerly extension of the C. &
o. to the Ohio River.
Mr.. Davin's wife, Ruth Rufing
DAWN, died six months before he
became president of the Nickel
Plate. The Davins were parents
of three girls.

New Flute and CIarinets Make
Debut in Neighborhood Concert

II radio listeners found the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra's music
a bit more brilliant than usual
last night, there were at least two
reasons.
The first fiutist had the new silver
flute he has been awaiting for three
years, and the first clarinetist, two
new Buffet clarinets.
The new instruments made their
radio debuts last night, in the
fourth Of this seasons Neighbor-
hood Concerts, broadcast from
Roosevelt High School over The
Stars station, WMAL. A capacity
audience heard the concert in the
auditorium.
Opportunity TO Try 1t.
The popular Beethoven Fifth
Symphony featured on the program
offered plenty of opportunity for
First Flutist Wallace Mann to work
out his priced new instrument.
1T was made by Verne @. Powell
Of Boston, Mr.. Mann said as he
polished the already shining silver
after the concert. During the war
he didn't make any. I was fighting
a poor flute, too. II anything had
happened to it, I don't know what
I'd have done"
The scale on his new instrument,
he said, is more nearly perfect
than on any other flute made"
The new flute will star in Kent
Remnants Night Soliloquy," flute
solo with string accompaniment, in
next Thursdays concert in Leland
Junior High School.
First Clarinetist Ignatius Gennusa
said his new clarinets-the B fiat
and the A-are better than the pre-
war instruments. They were made
in Paris.
Noted by Associate.
The players associates in the or
chestra were quick to notice the new
additions. DR.. Hans Kinder, mu-
steal director, and Howard Mitchell,
associate conductor, as we'll as sew
