he wants the Government to

Library Controversy

AS official delegate of the
Green Meadows Citizens AS
sociation to the Library Coun-
Gil of Upper Chillum, I would
like to state that while we, of
course, overwhelmingly sup
port the movement for a Ii
brary in the area, we have not
been in accord with the pro-
cedures of the Chillum Library
Council. The council secre-
tary, Mrs. Manheimer, in her
letter to The Star, stated that
she would like to explain how
the library council attempted
to get library facilities for the
Chillum area. However, GER
tain important details were
left out.
After approaching the
Prince Georges County Lii
brary Board and giving some
support to the boards plan
for countrywide library serv-
ices, the Chillum Library
Council set off on a course of
its own. The idea of support
ing public library addition
to the Lewisdale Public School
arose, and the council,
through its president. Irwin
Lavine, attempted to set up
direct negotiations with the
Prince Georges Board of Edu-
cation. The council, through
its officers, also pressed for
the addition of library serv-
ices" to House Bill 464, hop
ing thereby to secure the nee
essary finances to help pay for
the addition to the Lewisdale
school. 1t is obvious that any
negotiations for the combined
use of public school and public
library property is a matter
to be studied by the two agen-
cieS involved. While the Sug-
gestion for such use could
have come from the Chillum
Library Council to the Prince
Georges County Library
Board. it is within the legal
discretion of the library board
to make decision upon the
placement of branches, upon
it's own study and application
of its principles for better
countrywide library develop
ment. Similarly, since the
Board of Library Trustees of
Prince Georges County, under
law. is legally entrusted with
the responsibility of setting up
the best county library system
it can: the system of financing
must be one which will in the
end be to the benefit of library
services to the entire county.
The present library system is
too young to admit failure Of
countrywide support, and the
population of Prince Georges
County too literate to be ac-
cused Of lack of interest in the
development of a good county
library system.
The Chillum Library Council
itself is at present a loosely
organized group. existing with
temporarily selected officers,
without benefit of constitution
or bylaws, without proper
weighing of the votes of its
mis- C e llaneous membership,
with overlapping of constitu-
ent representation by the dele
gates of the various organiza-
tions which attend meetings,
and without proper, estab-
lished procedures for delegates
in recontacting their respec-
tive groups in determining the
will of the group on issues in
volved.
We feel that a more care
fully reorganized Chillum Lii
brary Council, with tht avowed
purpose of securing a library
for the area through complete
cooperation with the Board
of Library Trustees in its ef-
forts to establish library serv-
ices for the county, will prove,
in the long run. more bene-
fetal to the residents of the
Chillum area and to the coun-
ty as a whole.

Yesterdays Wdrpdth"

Well worn by moccasined feet, un-
shod ponies hooves and trailing tepee
poles, the old Indian warpath wound
all the way from Braddock's head
quarters at Detroit down the Mount
Auburn hill to a little inlet that
provided the only easy landing in an
otherwise prscipitous Ohio River bank
where Cincipnati later was built.
The trail was worn before the
French and Indian War and the hill
now is Sycamore Street, named after
the tall twin sycamores that once
stood near the inlet. 1t was the first
river to lakes highway across Ohio
and still is busy, crowded one.
The Iroquois used the warpath on
their trips from the north to attack
the Shawness, who refused to join
and never We're conqured by them,
and all tribes along it used the way
on journeys to Kentucky after salt
and to raid the cabins on that fast
settling side of the river. The Iro-
quois were the powerful Six Nations,
composed of the Senecas, Oneidas,
Onondagas, Mohawks, Tuscarawas and
Cayugas - all tribes along the Great
Lakes.
The old warpath is the main road
through Wyandotte, Toledo, Maumee
and Perrysburg and passes through
near Carey, where Col. William Craw-
ford was burned at the stake in 1882;

275 Children Enjoy
Easter MODie Treat

An estimated 275 Bluffton children
attended the matinee treat sponsored
by the American Legion Auxiliary
Saturday afternoon at the Carma
theatre. The event replaced the an
nual Easter egg hnnt sponsored by
the Auxiliary unit,
Mrs. Don Martz, one of the CO.
chairmen of the event along with
Mrs. William MeFicle, stated that the
matinee party Rt which cartoons
were shown was real success and
indicated that it may replace for
good the egg hunt as part of Aux
iliary community activity.
TRACTOR SPARK PLUGS should
be cleaned and adjusted every 100 to
300 hours. Dirty or fouled plugs
waste fuel and power and cause over
heating.

st. Marys, where the white renegade
chief Simon Girty, ruled, Piqua, once
headquarters of the Shawnee nation;
Xenia, once the Shawnee town of Old
Chillicotha; Hardin, where Joh n
Hardin, peace envoy to the Indians
was killed by them; Fort Recovery,
scene of st. Clair's disastrous defeat
in 1871; Eaton, site of old Ft. st. Clair
where stands the Whispering Oak;
and Hamilton, once Ft. Hamilton.
Over the road George Rogers
Clarke's punitive expeditions against
the Indians travelled in 1880 and 1882
and the armies of Rarmar, st. Clair
and Wayne moved in the 1790s.. On
it the English trading post, Picka-
willany was attacked, sacked and
burned in 1854 and Peter Laramie's
store was destroyed by Clarke in
1882.
On Clarke's return over it after
attacking the Indian towns along the
Mad and Miami rivers in 1880 he
brought Is Indian scalps but left Is
of his own men buried somewhere
along the old road. Another, Capt.
William McCracken, of Clarke's Light
Horse Cavalry, died of his wounds
when being carried on a litter down
the Sycamore street hill. He still
rests somewhere beneath the cobble-
stones of the Cincinnati levee.
On the old trail just north of Gin
cinnati Colonel Elliott, officer of the
commisary department of the army,
was attacked by Indians in the 1790's
when hauling supplies from Ft Wash
ington to Ft. Hamilton. Elliott was
killed and his wagon burned but his
Negro slave jumped on one of the
horses and got away. Colonel Elliott
was a big man - weighed more than
399 pounds and wore wig. Legend
has it that when an Indian tried to
scalp him the wig came off and the
savage, holding up the hear in sur
prise, exclaimed Damn lie!"
Just south of Hamilton in 1893 two
wagons were attacked by Indians,
their cargoes burned, the wagoners
killed and the horses stolen. One was
loaded with supplies for Ft. Hamil-
ton and the other with goods from
Smith & Findlay's pioneer store at
Cincinnati. One wagner, Scott Trav-
ers, professional pack-horse loader,
was "most inhumanely butchered,"
the pioneer weekly newspaper re-
lated. Travers was prominent - one
of the 26 original settlers in 1873 at
Cincinnati. In another wagon attack
that year on the old trail Moses Pryor
was killed. In an attack on Garth
agom on the same road the same
year, two of his children were killed
by savages and his widow only saved
another by fleeing through Mill
Greek with it in her arms.
Old accounts relate that in pioneer
days a great oak tree stood some
where on the old Indian warpath on
which somebody had carved: "This
is the road to hell = 1882" Who did
it or under what circumstances never
were learned.
Much of the old warpath today has
changed into modern highways on
which death still turks = not from
savages on ponies but from less care
full ones in automobiles. The present
death toll is far greater than that of
the pioneer days. The wilderness has
become civilized.
