Penny investment
Nets $4,000 Loss

A penny invested in one cleo
trical wiring system on a north
western Ohio farm produced a
net return of $10,000-loss.
c.. K. Kline, extension agricul-
tural engineer at Ohio State Uni
versity, says fuses kept blowing
in the circuit that went to the
farmers barn. Since they were
Is ampere fuses, the farmer de-
cided to stop the trouble with 80
ampere fuses.
Then one night at chore time
the 30 ampere fuses started blow
ing every time the barn switch
was turned on. Since the farmer
could find no bare wires and was
in hurry, he put penny behind
the fuse so he could finish the
chores.
The barn burned before the
fire department arrived.
|, Kline says the penny was saw
ed. 1t is on exhibit in an electri-
cal power company office in the
area.
"Some people are more thrifty
than this farmer was," Kline
continues. 'They won't waste a
penny behind a fuse. They use
metal washers or slugs.
after all, everyone isn't as
lucky as the man whose barn
burned. A lot of people would
have lost the penny too"

Motel May Be
Built On Ri. Fl
John Palmer
Clearing Site

John Palmer of Belle Valley,
has purchased a plot of land
formerly owned by Raymond
Dennis, and with the help of bull
dozers and tractor and pan, has
transformed it from a marshy
swamp to level site along U. ).
Route 81. Several trees were up
rooted and disposed of, while soil
taken from the bank was used to
fill in the low spots.
The property ise located ap-
proximately two miles north of
Caldwell on the national highway
and in its new condition, would
be ideal for a motel. Work on
the grading was begun last
Thursday.
Palmer, who is using machin-
cry owned by him and Clare
Boyd, of Caldwell, would not give
any conclusive report of his plans
for the site. A motel and possible,
a home, was mentioned by him,
but it is uncertain just what he
intends to use the ground for.
In the past few weeks, The
Duck Creek bed directly west OF
Belle Valley, was relocated by
Palmer and Boyd, on the farm
belonging to Raymond Dennis.

in the rules state that if paraffin,

emphasized that pictures must be
drawn by the entrant only. Any

contestant. I
Efforts are now being made
by the committee to determine

Following the deadline on Fri
day, Oct. 81, three impartial

deciding the best drawing, Chair
man Shamhart announced that
three things are to be considered
by the judges. They are origin
atty, artistry, and neatness.
Winners will be announced and
prizes awarded at the annual
halloween festival held at the
Caldwell high school on Friday
evening, Oct. 81.

prize in each group, $500; and
third prize in each group, $1.00.
President Dennison is urging
the local merchants cooperate
wholeheartedly in making the
community's first venture of this
nature a success. Much depends
on the assistance the merchants
give the contestants, particularly
in the first and second groups.
Interest in the program in
gathering momentum and entry

Historic Bell
Hung In Church
Senecaville Church
Nearing Completion

They hung the old bell in new
tower Saturday and all that re-
mained were some finishing
touches before the newly-com-
pleted Presbyterian church in
Senecaville is ready for its first
services, sometime in December.
The bell-raising attracted a
large crowd of spectators for il
was quite a project to swing the
2,200-pound bronze bell to the
top of the 42foot steeple.
Original plans for the new
church did not call for bell but
sentiment in the community for
the old bell was so strong that
the plans were changed last
month. The old bell was cast in
1883 in Pennsylvania and
hung in the former church on the
same site until it was destroyed
by fire in December, 1945.
In addition to the bell, the
steeple will house amplifying
equipment by which the sound OF
the pipe organ and chimes may
be heard thruout the community
The new brick church was built
largely thru public subscription
and among Presbyterian churches
of southeastern Ohio.
Practically everyone in the
community has helped on the
church, including Rep. Robert T
Secrest, when he has few hours
off from his campaign.

BalssviIle Bridge
Will Be RepIaced

One of the oldest and one of
the most narrow bridges in this
section of Ohio is being replaced
at Quaker City, with a new
100000 span to cross Leather
wood Creek.
A Millerburg contractor has
started work on the construction,
which will result in a much wider
crossing, allowing double traffic
to the depot at Quaker City, to
Batesville and other points south.
The old bridge was only able
to accommodate one-way traffic.
1t is reported that the work will
take several weeks, possibly
months, since the concrete abut-
ments will have to be very deep.

Magician Birch

Continued from page one)
report the tickets sales as only
fair, but it is expected the week
end will see a furry of sales TO
boost the attendance to record
breaking by the night of the
thrilling magic performance by
the worlds top-notch Snowman
of the magic stage.
Birch, the famed magician, is
one of the most loyal sons of the
Buckeye state, and it is reported
that wild horses couldn't drag
him or Mrs. Birch away from
their lovely home, "BirchWood," :"
overlooking the beautiful Musk
ingum river, near McConnels-
vile, in the picturesque hills of
southeastern Ohio. In fact, this
''house of magic" was the subject
for a feature story in the Colum-
bus Dispatch Sunday magazine in
1949.
1t is a foregone conclusion,
when you see the Birch show
with its scores of dazzling il
lusions, presented in an mimi
table manner by this master of
deception, you will agree that
Birch is in the great tradition of
Kellar, Thurston, and Houdini.
Perhaps one of the best known
illusions in the Birch repetoire is
the box escaped" R. c. Moore
Lumber Company of Caldwell
has constructed the box which is
now on display at the local
theatres and the challenge has
been made to Birch to escape
therefrom after being securely
nailed in by local members of
the community. Regardless of the
nature of construction, Birch so
far has been fortunate to escape
in matter of seconds.
The above, and many other
featured acts, will keep you
spellbound in two-hour magic
performance, held Monday even
ing, at 800 o'clock in the local
high school auditorium.

Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

AS l look at last years facts
on the Booth Festival, our cash
and produce contributions for
the county are about the same
However, there were Some
churches which went over their
last years giving and some went
below. The number present Mon
day evening, believe, exceeded
the number last year which NAV
indicate a great interest. l do
hope that the young people real
ly have this greater interest
This means that the adults are
going to have to do some high
stepping to keep up with their
youth.
It was especially good to have
our own Nancy Secrest in her
nurses uniform. Nancy talked to
the group about her own expert
ences at the White Cross hospi-
tai. We are also proud of three
other girls from our county who
are taking their nurses training
there but who could not be with
us Monday evening.
This week has found me three
different times at the Keith
church. Sunday afternoon. was
out helping the young people
gather the fruit; Tuesday even
ing, meeting with the young
people; and Friday evening
operating the motion picture ma
chine.
Wednesday afternoon, was up
to the Batesville W.S.C.S. month
ly meeting. l am glad to meet
with some of these groups that
have never met with before. |
only wish that I could get in
more of these Woman'S Society
meetings in the county and per-
haps l can now that Youth Or
ganization is over.
Thursday evening is a very
important meeting. Some of the
folks, / guess, thought that what
was done last springwas in vain.
1t does take some time to get a
worthwhile organization like the
Town and Country Council NOV
ing and going in the right di-
rection. I certainly hope that
there will be a good representa-
tion at the high school.
Sunday afternoon at the
GAINESVILLE First Methodist
church, / will be working in a
Children's Workshop for our dis
trict. l am hoping that l will
have some folks to go with me.
1t is only during the afternoon so
it will not take your whole Sun
day. You can pick up some good
ideas on how you might be able
to improve your own Children'S
class in the Sunday school. Sun
day school superintendent are
also invited. Let me know if you
want ride Sunday afternoon to
GAINESVILLE.
Church work is job which
does not confine itself to one
phase-from youth to adults and
back to the children. 1t is this
which keeps me riding the cir
cult.
