A restless, creative ambition

the attractiveness, beauty and
success of the new Garfield
Lounge. I'VE expect TO make this
Garfield Lounge) the finest and
most modern cocktail lounge IN
the country" owner r. w. Wal
lace declared Sunday in an In
terview with the new Detroit
Tribune.
The desire to build something
will reach a climax for Wallace
about Nov. Is. when there will
be a gala celebration during the
grand opening of the new Gar
field Lounge. Wallace said.
Wallace, son of a Mississippi
Baptist minister, acquired the
Lounge IN April of l949. The
establishment was opened on
Sept 81 of the same year. Wal
lace was formerly apprentlced a.
a pharmacist in his native state
and in Chicago
Former Grocer
Later he entered the grocery
business, only to look for broader
fields of endeavor, which resulted
in the purchase OF the GARFIELD
Lounge and the adjoining busl-
nesses of 52-room hotel and the
Lounge with a capacity of loo
persons.
Roasting of being the only Ne
sro-owned hotel in Michigan with
LIQUOR license, the Gariielo
Lounge is especially proud OF the
Walha Room-an exclusive, coy
intimate and sWank motif room
for private PARTIES and speciai
occasion nook The unique name,
"Walha." is derived from the first
three letters of Wallace. estao-
hshment owner, and the first two
letters of Harris, lounge manager
Creative Idas
Color motif of the unique es-
tablishment and the overall de-
sign of the hotel lobby lounge

lobby, sea green and white.
Wallace said that the lounge
was his first venture in the liquor
business and was a challenge
after years in the grocery busi.
ness and the profession OF phar-
macy. He came TO Detroit in 1896
after living for more than two
years in Chicago. He is the sor
of a Baptist minister in Jackson

Ohio Student Writes
About Danish Life

Betty Jean Riddle has discov-
cred paradise" by going to
Denmark as an International
Farm Youth Exchange student
from Ohio.
Writing this week to friends
at Ohio State University, this
Pickaway county girl revealed
she is living with a Danish farm
family on farm called Para
disc.
Her description of the farm,
and the surrounding country
side. leads her friends to believe
that the place is aptly named.
Part of her letter reads as fol-
lows:
'I am on a farm of 10 acres
and this man is an outstanding
farmer. There are four in the
family, one boy 7, and little
girl 5. There are four hired
men on the farm and two maids
in the house"
She wrote that the farm had
all modern conveniences, such
as electricity and running wat
er, and that the farming opera
tions include barley, oats, sugar
beets, wheat, clover, 1900 fruit
trees and potatoes. Her host
milks l8 cows with machine
mixers, and has II Danish
Landrace sowS.
Miss Riddle was impressed
with Danish flower gardens,
commenting as follows: "The
most uniform thing in this coun-
try is the beautiful flower gar
dens. The state has flowers, par
ticularly roses, along all the
paved roads. The worst thing
possible is a poor garden. I've
been here three weeks and
haven't seen that first weed"
In a footnote to her letter,
Miss Riddle asked for pictures
and slides of farming in Ohio, as
her Danish hosts are curious
about American farm life.

er earth gathered from many
other parts of the globe. From
now on, these stockpiles will
will commence to grow.
Perhaps you are also wonder
ing not only what else but who
else will be moving into your
community. Well, / wish you
could see the applications that
are pouring into our downtown
offices Already, we have more
applications than jobs for the
phenol plant and before long
will be accepting applications
for the alloy plant. However,
before you get the idea that half
the world will be barging into
Parkersburg or Marietta with
bag and baggage, let me allay
some of your fears. l said that
we of Carbide hope that these
plants will be a part of your
community. We mean that. When
ever possible we intend to hire
locally. Naturally, there will be
some who will come in from
outside this area. We realize
that, and we are deeply con-
scious of our responsibility in
selecting individuals who will
make good neighbors and fellow
citizens. We hope that you will
extend to them the same warm
welcome you have extended to
us.
This, then is what's going on
at our new plant site. We're
! happy that we're coming along
on schedule but we realize that
even after the last brick is laid
the final electrical connection
made, and the first switch
| thrown that our job will just bt
beginning We believe that the
job is important, but it is equal,
ly important to us that this jot
and our being here is importan
to you. We want you, as we are
to be proud of these plants tha
are growing up in your owr
front yard"

strings of gondola cars loaded
with structural steel for the
power house. On the high level
north of Highway 7, the B. & o
railroad relocated approximately
1b miles of their track on a
new right-of-way at the graded
elevation of the plant site to ac-
commodate the plans of UCC.
These developments were COM
pleted in 1949, and it won't be
long before railroad cars loaded
with raw materials will be rum
bling on their way into the
plants and the same cars rum
bling out again-this time filled
with alloys and phenol on their
way to building bigger and bet
ter America.
AT the center of the plant site,
we swing toward the river over
a road packed hard by bulldoz-
ers, tractor drawn scrapers and
trucks. Ahead of us and along
the river towers the structural
steel that will be the power
house-for both the alloy and
phenol plants.
IF everything goes according
to our present schedule - this
station will be producing steam
this November and electric pow
er next June.
From the drawings of this
building, you would hardly guess
that the tailored design, the
neat white concrete walls with
tall glass windows could house
so much power. Bullets take
a look at these walls that will
soon be going up They're no
just concrete slabs. They are
precast reinforced concrete sand
wiches, measuring eight feet b,
eight feet and five inches thick
The filler in the sandwich is in

wiches are bolted to the struc
tural steel framework of tn,
building.
Looking from this point to
ward the highway, you may SCI
the high level plant sites of tn,
alloy and phenol plants. Th'
road over which we came from
the highway to the power hous,
will house the electrical due

j this section.
This particular division of
| UCC is now located in Dex-
ter City, with Charles w. Yetter,
superintendent in charge.
In a prepared speech before
the Rotary club of Parkersburg,
w. Va, Mr.. Bollinger was re
| ferring to the ferro-ally plant of
Electro Metallurgical division,
UCC; the phenol plant of Bake
lite division, UCC, and the pow
er station that will serve both
plants.
AS you will recall, Union Car
bide and Carbon Corporation an
nounced these plans in the fall
of 1948 BY the spring of 1949,
the spadework was underway
This was referred to by the local
papers as operation dirt. One
columnist described the scene
thus: For miles the area swarms
with giant pieces of earth-mov-
ing equipment, which race here
and there like monster over-la-
den ants. Already they've pushed
hill or two into adjacent val
leys.' Conservatively speaking,
we did move some earth here
and there. About 100000 cubic
yards of dirt and $4,000 cubic
yards of rock to be specific.
by the summer Of 1949 the
area of activity had expanded, to
to a degree, in all directions. Out
on the river bank, excavating
operations we're underway to
provide foundations for the pow
er house. Across State Route z,
in the distant hillside a stone
quarry was opened to provide
stone for the rip rap protection
for both the river bank and the
track fill slope. Across Highway
n, a railroad bridge was being
built to accommodate two sets
of railroad tracks to service the
power house with its needed
fuel. This bridge was built with
four piers to provide for an
eventual widening of the high
way to a four-lane route be-
tween Marietta and Parkersburg.
Meanwhile, on the 800 acre plot
itself, steel tank construction
was in process and foundations
were being laid.
Since last July, the main
foundations for two of these
plants have been completed. Cof-
ferdams and steel caissons were
sunk 81 feet into the ground to
solid rock for the foundation of
the power house. These founda-
tions were sunk deep both into
the soil and, we hope, in the life
of the community, for it is our
firm belief that an industrial
plant is more than stone and
steel, equipment and men. 1t is
a living thing, affected by and
affecting the community in
which it is located.
Because we feel this way about
it, we think you will be inter
ested to know what's been 60
ing on and how we're coming
along. So, if you don't mind let's
go on an imaginary tour, up
Ohio State Route 7.
"The first thing you see in the
distance is the railroad spur
crossing the highway, and many
of you may have noticed long
