Anchorage Times LaUds Herring

Two expressions of praise for Paul Herring who may be the new third division marshal came from Anchorage this week. l Ray Plumuler, who resigned as U. s. Attorney to go into pri- vate practice, and who had been c'editt d by other Ancho1age pub- lie officials with "keeping & lid on vice" predicted that MT Her. ring would do the same thing during his administration Other praise for the present deputy marshal came in the edi. sorial columns of the Anchorage Times, which said that MT. Her. ring has a record as deputy mar. shal widely known throughout the division. It adds that his record here indicates that he is eminently qualified to take over the multitudinous duties that go with the office as marshal in this division.
 MT. Herring has been able to mix common sense with law en forcement and has brought the standards vf law enforcement in Kodiak to a high level, the edi torlal states.
 "In view of MT Herring's re- cord and the problems of the di. vision, .. there is every reason to commend the Democrats upon their selection for 8 marshall" the Times says.
 "ln short,' it adds, "Mr Her. ring seems to be of sufficient sta ture in his work to inspire the confidence of the people that he will. do his job we'll and ef- fectively

Jimcrow High Closed,
Negroes Attend
Catholic Schools

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - (ANP) -
With the closing of jimcrow Catho-
lie high school facilities for Negroes
IT colored students enrolled in five
Catholic high schools in Kansas
City for the 1949-50 school year, it
was announced this week by Father
Alvin, pastor of st. Joseph's church.
The admission of colored students
on an unsegregated basis was the
result of a decision of Bishop Edwin
V. O'Hara to close the high school
setup at the st. Monica school, and
make it merely an eight grade ele-
mentary school. Before the grammar
school had only seven grades.
Father Alvin, in praising the new
nonsegregated setup, said in part;
The opening of the Catholic high
schools here in Kansas City to the
|colored Catholic children is but an
other step - and not the last - to
give meaning to its belief that all
of us, are the chilren of the same
good Father who is in Heaven, broth
ers of the same Jesus who died for
us, and hopeful aspirants to the
same kingdom he has prepared for
those who love and serve GIim.'

DR.. Atwood Participates
In Fisk And Christ
Church Programs

FRANKFORT, Ky. - Dr. r. b.
Atwood, president for p years. at
Kentucky State College, Frankfort,
Kentucky, will deliver the principal
address at Fisk University, Nash
vile, Tenn, on its Founders Day
dated October 6, 1919, and known
as Jubilee Day.
DIT. Atwood is an alumnus of Fisk
University from which he earned
the A. B. degree in Biological Sci
ence in 1920. During his college
days, he participated in debating,
the choral, basketball. and football
earning a varsity letter in the latter.
Immediately following the exer-
cises at Fisk, DR.. Atwood will go
to Louisville where he will be the
principal speaker during Fellow
ship Hour" at Christ Church Ca
thedral, Sunday, October 8, 1949,
promptly at 400 pm.
The purpose of Fellowship Hour"
held on the second Sunday after
noon of the month, six times a
year, under the auspices of the Eel
lowship Committee, is to promote
vital religion and Christian brother
hood, by regularly bringing togeth-
er for study, worship, social fellow
ship. and work, persons of all races
and denominations.
Fellowship Hour" nav entering
its fifth year at Christ Church Ca
thedral, Louisville, has grown
quietly and steadily from very
small beginning. 1t is different from
the usual interracial meeting in that
it is not a program where racial an
tagonisms are discussed but rather
a program where solidarity can be
developed, as acquaintance and APP
probation spread over racial lines.
The gist of DR. AtwoOd's topic will
be along the thought of making
Kentucky a better state.

Hello Mr.. Reeves:

Sept. IS, 1949
Hello Mr.. Reeves:
This is just a word or two from an
old friend of yours and the staff of
the Miami Times. Recently Il receiv-
ed about half dozen copies of the
Miami Times and it was the first
time in year since l have read one
there are a lot of things taking place
since l enlisted in the Air Force.
There are n lot of improvements
taking place and l enjoy reading
about them, and again it keeps me
almost up to date on what's going
on back home. l heard that the city
in general is being built up more
and more everyday especially in our
district. l guess l will be surprised
at the improvements when l return
to the old home town.
There are quite n few Of the fell
lows over here on Guam from Miami
and everyone OF them is interested
in subscribing to the paper. 1 know
you will hear from them soon.
L like to read what's going on
among the younger set and also
about the local high school sports
and haven't seen anything in the
paper about either these and also
the rest of the fellows over here.
Well since 1 expect to return to the
states about February, 1860 would
still receive your paper from the
folks up until then. This is all for
now, so until the next time,

Dirt In Lines Cause OF Low Gas
Pressure; Will Be Remedied Soon

Dirt in the lines combined with
sudden increase in consumption of
natural gas were blamed for low
gas pressure in the Bluffton area
during the last week.
Similar conditions were prevalent
in the territory served by the West
Ohio Gas Co. from its Lima distri-
button headquarters, according to
word received here. Officials of the
company announced that the situa-
tion was temporary and would be
corrected within a week or 10 days
Gas company spokesmen said dirt
often gets in lines during the sum-
mer when gas consumption is light
and when repairs are made on
the fuel lines.
When consumption is. increased
suddenly the dirt deposits in the
lines become activated by the pres
sure and cause trouble by lodging
in the pinpoint governors of gas
appliances, it was pointed out. Pilot
lights often go out and gas pressure
is low until conditions in the lines
become adjusted.
Company maintenance crews have
been working on the lines to make
| adjustments since trouble first be,
came apparent last week when colo
weather set in, company officials an,

too much fight to be trap-he run
into woods-he run like devil-he
keep run till he clear out danger"
That story from the Indian who had
taken many scalps. Wayne's army,
he related, did nothing but run to-
wards them and shoot-shoot-shoot,
with guns and pistols and use
knives. They shoot all time, SO
Indians run and keep run"
'Helltown"
Helltown was on the south line Of
the present Green Township, Ash
land County, on the banks of Clear
Pork, of the Mohican River. 1t got
its name from a German captive m
whose language help meant clear
or transparent.
The village was the home of a
number of widely known Delaware
chiefs, among them Thomas Arm
strong, who in 1883 moved over an
established Greentown, three miles
away. When Col. William Crawford
in 1882 invaded the Indian country,
the Helltown Indians fled. Captain
Pipe, from Jeromeville, was one OF
the Indians who burned Crawford at
the stake near Carey, Ohio, later.
After Helltown was moved to
Greentown, there were about 15C
Indian huts there and it was a
station" on the way to the burning
grounds on Pickaway plains.
Pickaway plains, it will be recall,
ed, was the home of the "Grenadiel
Squaw" and her brother Old Corn,
stalk. 1t was there that John Slower
taken with Crawford at CrawfordS
defeat, was brought for execution.
Though Crawford had been burned
near the place of his capture, Slower
a scout, was made to run the gaunt
let at Greentown, then taken x

He was stripped, painted black, al

post with thongs just long enough
to permit him to encircle it but no

lightning split the sky. A suddel

impossible to. light the pine sticks.
To the superstitious Indians tha
was a sign that the Great Spiri
strongly disapproved what they wer
about to do. Slower was cut loose
but rebound and taken into a council
house. There, during the night, hi
