Harmony Club Has
Program At Home
OF Mrs. Hamilton

The Harmony Club was enter
tanned at the home of Mrs. Starl-
ing Hamilton, Thursday afternoon.
The president, Mrs. Asa Bradley,
led in salute to the Flag. The
twenty three members present
responded to roll call by naming
a native Ohioan who has attained
fame.
The theme OF the program was,
Exploring Ohio, under the top
les, Her Waterways Her High
ways" and Her Universities The
member who had the first topic
could not be present.
Mrs. Donald Elliott told of Her
Highways" which was very inter-
esting and Informative She spoke
of the first early trails. one being
"Zane's Trace" made in 1898, which
was the first road in Ohio; also of
the early corduroy roads.
Ohio's greatest news of the year,
1926, came by stage coach driver
when he arrived at a GAINESVILLE
tavern and told that he had heard
in Wheeling that the Cumberland
Road was to be extended across
Ohio to GAINESVILLE. 1t was first
called the Cumberland Pike, as it
started at Cumberland, Maryland.
The road had been completed to
Wheeling in 1918. Then it reached
st. ClairSville, there was a great
celebration on July 4th, 1926. 1t
finally reached GAINESVILLE, then in
1923 a contract was let for the So
miles from there to Columbus; IT
was finished to Columbus in 1888,
and to Springfield in 1889. 1t was
completed across Ohio by 1910, be-
ing 225 miles long.
All Ohio history is linked to that
road. It was later extended across
the United States, thus reaching
from coast to coast. 1t was first
called, THE Road. later it be-
came the National Pike" and now
known as Route 40. It was a great
boost for the building-up of the
West.
The heavy traffic on the road
necessitated road repair, so Con-
gress transferred the ownership OF
the road to the states through
which it passed. Toll houses and
gates were then built every &c
miles. the income being used for
repair work. Exemptions were

Specifically. the genial Ike,

When that TKO appears
after a losers name, you don't
know whethef the guy was a

whether he was winning a fight
and got a bad cut" Bernstein
said.

Andrews, who is married and has

But that amt the point. Al

he sees in the papers is he lost
by a TKO. So he wonders how
long before he gets another bout.
Will promoters cool off on him?
so I'm suggesting that when
there's a TKO. there should be
some kind of notation in the
losers record like ahead on
