in, May, the year before, over the
mountains and through the woods
from Upper Middletown, Middle
sex county, Connecticut, in a two
horse Conestoga Wagon - itself
a thing new in the Ohio woods.
The Riley home was a two
story hewed-log house on the east
bank of the river near the mill.
1t was SO feet long, built in three
20-foot sections. Because of the
deep fall and rapidity of its
streams, Van Vert county then
was widely known as "The Dev-
IFS Race Ground"
When time came for raising the
big frame for the mill word was
sent out and settlers from as far
as st. Mary's, Fort Wayne, De-
fiance and Piqua came to help
and to get in on the festivities
sure to follow. Some came from
Fort Recovery.
The woods still were full of In
dians, who brought in venison,
wild turkeys, ducks, geese and
wild honey, and the Rileys had
plenty of eggs and whisky to
make eggnog. Most settlers, how
ever, men and women, took their
liquor straight and held it very
well.
The workers were awkward,
well oiled up, and the mill frame
was the biggest one they had ev-
er seen. Some of the timberS fell
and though nobody was hurt,
Riley, Sr., Wilshire's father, bare
ly escaped being crushed to
death. Had the man been sober
he would have been killed, old
accounts relate. After that the
job was postponed until next day.
Morning came and the frame
was up without further mishap
and the work well done. All then
gathered around the long split
log tables for a hearty, back
woods supper, washed down with
coffee served in tin cups.

Power Co. Lists
Safety Rules
For Kite Flying

Ohio Power Co. has opened its
annual spring campaign to pro-
mote safety among kite flyers.
Posters which list some of the
safety precautions which should
be observed by persons flying
kites are being distributed by the
company to schools, Scout groups
and other youth organizations in
the area, according to A. A.
Armbrust, Findlay district man.
ager.
AS a part of the campaign, the
Ohio Power manager said he
would like to enlist the aid of
parents, teachers and youth
leaders. He said they can help
by informing children about the
potential dangers in kite flying.
THE first rule to remember is
that kites should never be flown
near electric wires and television
antennas," he said. "A person
might be seriously injured or
electrocuted if the kite they were
flying came in contact with
power lines"
If a kite cord is damp or con-
tains wire or tinsel, il may cause
a short circuit if it contacts an
electric line and could cause
death or injury to a youngster
holding the string.
In addition to the danger to the
kite flyer, a short circuit also
could interrupt vital electric serv-
ice to homes, factories, hospitals
and schools, the Ohio Power
official pointed out.
He listed the following seven
rules of safety which kite flyers
should observe.
l. Always fly kites in open
spaces away from electric wires
and other distractions.
2. Never use wire or tinsel cord
for kite string,
B. Never use any kind of metal

After supper there was dancing
by torchlight beneath the trees.
There were no women so the men
danced with each other - the
female" partners in chip hats
or fur caps to distinguish them
from "the men," 1t was a regu-
lar hoe-down Irish jigs, Vir-
ginia reels, old Scotch dances
and whatever "old man Fresh
our" from Fort Recovery, knew
how to play on his fiddle.
Eggnog and straight whisky
flowed freely and put a lot of zip
into the dances. Old Fielding Cor
bin, who all day had been lying
down and groaning with his rheu-
matism to keep from working,
got so excited that he forgot his
pains and jumped up and danced
an Irish jig without missing a
step. After that he was colloquial-
ly called Timber Jimmie" Cor
bin. Most of the men danced on
past midnight then drifted away
through the woods in the direc-
ton of their homes.
The irons and millstones for
Riley's mill had been hauled by
four yokes of oxen through mud
and swamps from Dayton. The
millrace was a quarter of mile
long and the dam eight feet high.

with pike, pickerel, black bass

water out and so left the fish
Hopping around on dry land. He
sent a tWo-horse wagon to Piqua

BY MARY McGRORY

Senator Humphrey Of Min
nesota will be talking at his
usual rapid rate as he moves
into high gear after the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination.
Four Of his Midwestern lieu
tenants who have been hud-
ding here since Sunday said
that in their marathon strategy
sessions there was no talk at
all Of creating a new image Of
the fluent liberal whose critics
have complained that he lacks
terminal facilities.
They point out that in the
territory they hope to stake
out-the Mississippi Valley be-
tween the Rockies and the APP
palachiams-the gift Of CAB is
not regarded as a liability. In
that area Of long distances and
long silences, the folks expect
their moneys worth from a
political orator.
Besides, they say, the ad-
mittedly long-winded liberal.

Their prime target in dis

are not writing of the posi-
bility Of entering their man In
New Hampshire, a State which
is Just the size Of one Of Min
nesota's larger counties. They
concede that the Atlantic sea-
board is the mysterious East

of New Hampshire on the
ground that it is Senator
Kennedy's backyard, they give
him a regional excuse for not
coming into Wisconsin. which
is Senator Humphreys imme-

presently be dispatched to the

They will begin their Wis

The confidence of the Hum.

the fact that they have nailed

chairmen already have mailed
out some literature which
