Gas Co. Helps
In "Earthquakes''

New equipment which registers
man-made earthquakes" SO
small they can be felt only few
yards away recently had its
first test in charting Ohio's under
ground formations.
The equipment is the latest in
modern developments toward dis
covering natural gas.
To test whether the new equip
ment is as accurate and applicable
in the Appalachian area as has
been indicated in other parts OF
the country, a crew of geophysi-
cists recently made tests in Medina
County" There they took seismo-
graphic recordings which are be-
lieved to have brought back
echoes" of small explosions near
the surface from as deep as a mile
and half in the earth.
These scientists worked in co.
operation with the Ohio Fuel Gas
Company, which made preliminary
arrangements and provided men
and equipment to help with the
demonstration.

plant corn in 1855 on farm where
no corn was planted during the

plants corn in 1855 on a farm
which has no corn acreage allot-
ment would be ineligible for price
support on corn. Likewise, the
producer would be ineligible for
any payment under the 1855 Agri-
cultural Conservation Program on

best you can without making lot
of complicated promises to your

the woman who reports that she
says little prayer to herself every
morning: 81 don't expect to accom-

but just help me to keep from do

Maybe that's negative way of
thinking. But by gosh if we all just
dedicated ourselves to keep from
doing any active harm to anybody
or anything, life has a way of roll
ing on at pretty even peaceful
keel, doesn't it? Sometimes the
overly enthusiastic do-gooders can
stir up more trouble than they are
fixing.

A Salute To Mr. Teal

Once in a very great while you
meet an individual whose innate
faith and simple goodness of spirit
makes you realize anew what
Christmas really is.
We met man like that the
other day. He is Henry Teal, the
transplanted Toledoan whose beau
tiful display of Christmas lights at
his Erie township home has added
to the holiday happiness of SO
many people.
Mr.. Teal is IS. He doesn't look
it. He certainly doesn't act it,
either, when you consider he erect
ed most of the elaborate lights -
one of them SIS feet high - him.
self.
But what impressed us most was
his simple version of how he start
ed on the annual lighting display.
His objective is to emphasize the
fact that Christmas is, first Of all,
the celebration of Christ's birth
And that the holiday gaity and the
giving of presents and all the other
angles that have become increas-
ingly dominant to most of us is
only the secondary phase of a
solemn and sacred time.
He started out first by erecting
the big star, because a star is a
symbol of Christ's birth. And the
huge cross represents the end of
Christ's span of life.
Mr.. Teals annual display means
a lot Of work, and a lot of expense.
But, he says, he is amply repaid
If it brings to spectators a renewed
sense of what Christmas really is.
And that's a pretty wonderful
way to feel, seems to us.
