Village To Annex
Local Light Plant
City Solicitor To
Prepare Petition

AT regular meeting of the
Caldwell council, Tuesday even
ing, clerk Violet Morgareidge
was instructed to contact City
Solicitor L. c. Young to prepare
a petition asking for the annexa-
ton of the land now occupied
by the Caldwell Light and Water
works plant to the corporation
limits of Caldwell.
The proposed annexation of
this plant to the village is based
on two factors, Mayor Homer
Johnson told the council men,
bers.
1t will mean a considerable
decrease in the insurance rates
at the plant and result in a ter
rifle savings on the maintenance,
including the gas consumption.
Last month, the gas bill for
the light plant was $189.59. Due
to the rate increase granted the
Permian Oil & Gas company by
the Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio, the bill this month
jumped to $337.75.
Both the Ohio Fuel gas COM
pany and the Permian Oil &
Gas company have connecting
lines to the light plant. The
council decided Tuesday night
that the gas line of the Permian
company would be used only one
day month and the Ohio Fuel
the remainder of the time. They
feel this will result in a ter
rifle savings, at least for two
years.
The new gas rate was effective
for all rural communities, out
side the villages of Caldwell and
Dexter City.
Atty. Young will prepare the
petition of annexation and it
will be presented to the Noble
county commissioners for their
approval. The annexation will
include only the land on which
the municipal light plant is
located.

Supt. p D. Cannavan and In

Dahood met with Manager John
Mckinley. Caldwell plant,
Cleveland Graphite Bronze
Company, Monday afternoon, in
a conference that will have far
reaching influence on the local
school.
1t is the purpose of Manager
Mckinley to acquaint the school
officials with the type of work
which they produce at the Cald-
well plant and its different
phases, in order that it might
eventually be taught at the
Industrial Arts department.
In this manner, high school
students, particularly those who
may not go on to college, will be
fitted to step into a job at the
local plant and have an excel
lent idea of the type of work
they will be going to do.
Mr.. Dahood will be given at
least one day a week for three
weeks to visit the plant and
acquaint himself with the vari-
Gus departments and the type of
work they accomplish. A field
trip for all students of this
particular class will also be
made to the plant during the
year.
Visual aids will be supplied
by CGB to aid the instructor in
teaching the students, in addi-
ton to product samples and
other informative material.
Other conferences by school
and CGB officials will be held
from time to time.

-devotes most Of It's energy to
military orders. One Of the
largest single devices produced is
an electronics flight simulator
used in training aviation cadets
and refreshing older flyers In
the operation Of new planes.
Almost q year after Melpar
was taken over by Westinghouse,
the parent company bought the
LeRoi Co. in Milwaukee, a major
supplier of internal combustion
engines to the oil industry. The
George E. Failing Supply Co.,
worlds largest builders of port
able oil exploration drilling rigs
was acquired soon after and this
year, Westinghouse added the
earth moving equipment division
of the LeTourneau Co. of Texas.
Another section Of Westing-
house, the Union Switch &
Signal Co, also adds its research
burden to Melpar. The entire
job Of electronics development
for Westinghouse and its sub
sidiaries is centered here.
To meet the increasing load,
Melpar has just started con-
struction of a IS million plant
on Route so. a few miles west
of Fort Buffalo in Fairfax
County. When completed. it will
concentrate the research facil-
tiles in one building while leav-

growing and most secret.
Since 1945, when it was found
ed in quarters at 718 Fifth street

Before 1899, the science of
electronics was more or less con-
fined to pure research in labora-
tories and practical applications
in radio. Today. almost every
field Of industry, and many

Excluding the top administra-
tive personnel at Melpar. the
average age of its research and
engineering executives is slightly
over 36. Three "old-timerS, y
ranging from A to 48. run up
the average considerably.
Under true industrial stand
ards, generally connected with
mass-production, Melpar hardly
can be called an industry. IN
like other industry, it has con-
centrated on research and de-
velopment rather than produc-
ton.
Plant at Cambridge, Mass.
Shortly after it was founded
here, the firms operations were
moved to Alexandria, and Sec
ond plant was opened in Cam
bridge, Mass. where the facilities
of Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, Harvard and other
centers of scientific knowledge
could be tapped for young highly
trained personnel.
AS the demand for Melpar's
specialized research and engi-
neering talent increased, the
company began an expansion
program that has converted old
Virginia warehouses and garages
into super-secret laboratories.
Despite Melpar'S phenomenal
growth, the first six years of
life were the hardest. It was
a financial success from the
start. but it needed a brick wall
of economic stability behind it
to keep pace with electronics
progress. In 1851, Melpar be-
came a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Westinghouse Air Brake
Co.. thereby relieving economic
pressure and permitting the firm
to begin another round of ex-
pansion.
