sumes the Chinese Communist au-
thorities have suppressed the real
facts"

sent some food, clothing and bed

their request. but all efforts to
visit them or get them released
had proved fruitless.

held are Ralph c. Rehberg. a Jap

Zanesville's unique Y-bridge
marks one of Ohio's most historic
spots. This was the crossroads of
the early west. The Shawanese
War Trail, from the Indian capital
of Chillicothe to the Mingo juno
tion crossing on the Ohio River,
forded the Licking and the Mus
kingum Rivers at this point. Paint
ed Indian war parties Of Della
wares and Chippewas from the
north passed this same place along
the Cuyahoga and Muskingum
War Trail on their raids against
the Kentucky settlements.
Two of Ohio's earliest east and
west roads, the National Road and
Zane's Trace, now Routes 40 and
% respectively, cross this Y-bridge.
Pre-Revolutionary War settlers on
horseback and in wagons travelled
the north-south road through the
wilderness from Marietta to Cleve-
land over this same crossroad. And
when the Ohio and Erie Canal was
built in 1925 it also passed through
GAINESVILLE and connected with the
canal boat line that used the Mus
kinCum River to Marietta.

ervoir of early Canal days, only
