The Road To Yester-

II is paved with good intentions

Valhalla, just as the old adage
points out, but along the road to
Yesterday are diamonds in the dust
that make us catch our breath and
ponder. 1t is the way to nowhere

Travel back the trail is like dig

Miamisburg Overshadowed Dayton
Twelve miles south, Zachariah
Hole and his big family had a Wild
erness cabin. Zaehariah put up a
Dlock-house on the Great Miami
River bank and moved his family
into it for security. Three more
settlers built cabins at the little log
stronghold and the place became

When Ohio was made state it was
larger than Dayton, which had five
families.
Still a stringtown on the Dixie
Highway, a mile long and rod
wide, with few thousands popula-
tion. the town is too near Dayton to
grow much but a live little city,
nevertheless. A little after New
Years Miamisburg learned that it
had a birthyear and there should be
$50 candles on its cake.
From a Cincinnati researchist and
historian the Miamisburg News got
the town history from the time Of

chapter each week. Merchants and
other organizations interested them

A year ago Pontiac engineers
were successful in reducing radio
and television interference bv
shortening spark plug, coil and dis
triDutor cables. Signal suppression
has been even further advanced
this year with the removal of con-
per wire from these cables and the
substitution Of carbon impregnated
fiber material treated with conduc-
tive coatings.

engine even better cooling chara-
