LARRY PATRICK, whose blood was exchanged twice through the generosity
of many donors from all over the area.

Story and Pictures BY PAT HOUCK
PT. PLEASANT - Call it a miracle,
call it luck, call it whatever you wish, but
Larry Patrick of 2403 Lincoln Ave., Pt.
Pleasant, is alive today when the odds
were more than 90 to 1 that he wouldn't be.
He owes tl}is to the generosity of many
individuals who responded to an
emergency call for blood and to the
devotion to duty of the medical staff,
technicians, aides and ladies in white, at
Holzer Medical Center, many of whom
remained on call around the clock to care
for him.
Mr. Patrick, 27, had been ill and in a
Huntington hospital several days before
Christmas but was allowed to spend the
holiday with his wife and daughteJ,"s, Julie,
6 and Angie, 4. On Dec. 26 he was brought
to Holzer Medical Center by his wife,
Diane.
After 9 days he went into a coma.
Emergency surgery became necessary
and immediately American Red Cross
personnel went into action in an effort to
find needed donors.
The first appeal was for 12 units.
Jimmy Corder of Huntington was in a
Pt. Pleasant bank when he learned of the

appealfor 0 negative blood and responded.
Karen Russell of Tuppers Plains had
never given blood but she drove all the way
to Gallipolis one evening and gave hers for
Larry Patrick. And many others, from
Meigs, Gallia, Mason and even as far as
Charleston, responded to the call.
It became apparent a complete blood
exchange was necessary and another call
was issued by the Red Cross.
Mr. Patrick's condition -in which his
blood clogged - was rare. In fact, there
has been only one other case at Holzer
Medical Center and that was a number of
years ago. That earlier patient was not as
fortunate as Mr. Patrick. He did not
survive.
But it was through the generosity of
this other less fortunate family, in giving
consent for an autopsy, that doctors here
were better able to ascertain Mr. Patrick's
condition. With the data thus obtained, the
medical staff was able to deduce what
action was necessary to save Mr. Patrick's
life.
Patrick lost some days, days when he
was in a coma and didn't even know his
wife, but he has gained a future.
Call it a miracle, if you wish, as well it

His Grandfather was a Pioneer
BY BOB HOEFLICH
RACINE Ninety -one-year-old
William Bicknell Cross of Racine is only
the third generation of a Great Bend
Pioneer family - the Bicknells - in Meigs
County.
A former president of the Racine
Home Bank, Cross bears the "Bicknell"
name passed down by his mother, Mary
Bicknell Connor Cross.
Born March 7, 1842, Mrs. Cross was
the daughter of Nehemiah and Julia
Larkin Bicknell. Nehemiah, a sister,
Zimrhoda, and his mother traveled with a
company led by the Rev. Samuel Porter
from Chenango County, N. Y. , to Athens,
Ohio in 1815. The mother, Amy Bicknell,
died in 1816 and was buried in Athens .
Nehemiah was married on March 16,
1826, and at once made his home on a farm
in Meigs County's Great Bend. The couple
had six children, Emeline, the eldest, and
Mary, the youngest.
Mary, the mother of William Bicknell
Cross, married the Rev. George J. Connor
in October, 1869. They had one son, Charles
Cookman Connor who died before his
fourth birthday. The Rev. Mr. Connor died
just shortly after the birth of his son. They
are both buried at Hillsboro.
Losing both her husband and son, Mrs.
Connor apparently returned to Meigs
County. She married David Barber Cross
in January, 1879. He was a member of a
prominent Meigs County family also.
William Bicknell Cross, the 91-year-&lt;&gt;ld
Racine resident, was the only child born to
this marriage. Mary Cross, still a young
woman, died on March 7, 1882, less than
three years after her second marriage.
William Bicknell Cross remained with
his father . There were five children by a
previous marriag e r es iding in the
homestead. Following the death of Mary
Bicknell Cross, her husband married a
third time and there were nine children
born to this marriage which made a total
of 15 children seated at the Cross tqble at
mealtimes.
When he reached the age of 20,

(Continued from page 1)
where he was employed for a year before
moving to East Liverpool where he resided
for the next nine years. In 1902, he married
Etta Jaccaud, a member of still another
Meigs County pioneer family. The couple
resided in East Liverpool where Cross was
engaged in the roofing business.
Mr. and Mrs. Cross moved to Racine
where from 1913 to 1919 he operated a
creamery. Then, gradually, Cross moved
into the dairy business. He built a home
near the Cross family homeplace in Oak
Grove. Later, he purchased the family
homeplace where he and his wife resided
until 1957 when the property was sold to
Gene Yost. In 1957, Mr. and Mrs. Cross
moved to a small home in Racine. Mrs.
Cross died on March 10, 1960. There were
no children. Ten years ago, when he was
81, Cross became stricken with tuberculosis.
Expecting to die, he was taken to the
Southeast Tuberculosis Hospital in
Nelsonville. He remained there 16 months.
Today, at 91, he boasts excellent health. He
reads without glasses and drives his own
car any place he wants to go. He hears
through the use of an aid. His hearing went
during the bout with tuberculosis.
Active in community affairs, Cross
served a number of years on the Racine
Board of Education. He was president of
the board when the present junior high
school - then a new high school - was
built. He served on the board of directors
of the Racine Home Bank 32 years and was
president when he was stricken with
tuberculosis. He resigned at that time.
Cross recalls his "Aunt Emeline"
Bicknell quite well. She was the eldest of
the Nehemiah Bicknell children. She had
married during the years and had two
children. However, the marriage ended in
divorce and both of Emeline's children
died at an early age. She had begun

Burns on Rescue
Ship New Orleans
POMEROY - A young Pomeroy
serviceman will be taking part in the
rescue of Apollo 14 astronauts in the South
Pacific Tuesday.
He is Eddie Burns, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Burns, one of their 14 children, seven
boys and seven girls.
Eddie is serving aboard the USS New
Orleans which is the primary recovery
ship for Tuesday's splash down. He is
assigned to safely landing helicopters on
the deck of the ship, having been trained in
the technique in Tennessee following his
boot training at Great Lakes where he was
honor man of his class.
The crew of the New Orle~~~s 1will
escue Alan Shep d, Stuac;t Mitohell and.
Edgar Roosa on Tuesday and recover--the
command module and certain other·
equipment such as the reentry parachutes.
The ship's crew has been pointing toward
the mission since October when practice
began with a dummy spacecraft. The
supply department has taken on supplies
for three months, including a 30,000 spare
parts kit, costing over $2 million just for
the Apollo mission. This kit will be transferred to the Apollo 15 recovery ship upon
completion of the Apollo 14 program.
Personnel of the helicopter antisubmarine squadron of the New Orleans
will hoist the astronauts aboard their
aircraft and deliver them to the ship. An
underwater demolition team will assist the
astronauts out of their spacecraft and into
the helicopter for their trip to the ship.
Various specialists and technicians for
General Electric, NASA, mutual radio and
military affiliate radio service are aboard.
There will be over 100 highly qualified
civilians on board, not only to help insure
the safety of the astronauts but to make
possible the viewing of the splashdown
recovery on television.
Mail service on the New Orleans is
severely limited during the mission. After
recovering the astronauts, the ship will
return to Samoa where the space pilots
will be helicoptered ashore and flown back
to Houston. The New Orleans is then
scheduled to head for Hawaii and then to
San Diego arriving at the latter point on
Feb. 25.

EDDIE BURNS, SON of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Burns, is aboard the USS
New Orleans which is the primary
recovery ship for the rescue of Apollo 14
astronauts. Eddie is trained in
helicopter landing procedures on the
deck of the New Orleans. This picture
was taken when Eddie brought in the
5,oooth helicopter to the ship's deck. A
large cake in the background of the
picture was a part of the celebration.

The Apollo mission meant crossing the
equator so Eddie underwent the
traditional ceremonies. A May, 1969,
graduate of Pomeroy High School, Burns
entered the Navy on Nov. 28, that year.
Last year he was aboard the New Orleans
in waters about Japan transporting
Marines on recuperation leaves to and
from Vietnam and Japan.

Emeline L. Bicknell to her during the
divorce proceedings. She carried out the
operations on the 200 acre farm of her
father four years after his death. However,
the old homestead lost its charm for her as
her youngest sister, Mary Bicknell Connor
Cross lay slowly dying.
Emeline sold half of the Bicknell Great
Bend farm - now the John Proffitt farmand began her duties as superintendent of
the Meigs County Children's Home.
William Cross Bicknell, a small child at
the time of his mother's death, recalls
visiting " Aunt Emeline" for a week at a
time at the children's home. She never
wanted to talk much about her personal
sorrows, Cross recalls.
Staying at the children's home six
years, Emeline then took employment as
matron in the Methodist Home for the
Aged in Brooklyn, N. H., where she continued for over 14 years making a· total of
over 20 years service in institutional life.
Through the years, she turned to using her
considerable literary talents, having a
number of poems and articles published.
Emeline, upon retirement, returned to
Meigs County. She contributed the information for the family genealogy
published in 1913. Cross recalls that he and
his wife, Etta, cared for Emeline most of
the time during her late years. She died in
an apartment where she resided in
Pomeroy.
Cross, when still a young man, was
given one-half of the 200 acre Great Bend
Bicknell farm. The 100 acres had been
deeded to his mother who gave them to her
husband, David Barber Cross, at the time
of her death. His father, in turn, passed the
100 acres along to the only child of his
second wife. The son sold the farm - now
known as the Sayre property - and now
owned by Tom Sayre.
Cross never saw his grandfather
Bicknell who was killed in the train incident before he was born. However , he
remembers his grandfather Cross. Both
men owned large tracts of land and both
gave land for the establishment of a
school, church and cemetery.
Like the Bicknell Chapel, the Oak
Grove Church provided by the Cross
family still stands but is not used. William
Bicknell Cross who attended the Oak
Grove Church for many years still is a
regular church-goer and preferring the
"county church" attends regularly the
Bethany United Methodist Church in the
Dorcas area.

POMEROY - Two West
Virginia men were held in

Ferguson Poised Go GOP Hunting
By LEE LEONARD
COLUMBUS (UPI) -Just as
the state auditor's office was
turned into a focal point of disaster for Ohio Republicans last
year it seems certain to becom~ a weapon for Democratic
politicians in the fsture.
State Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson gave an indication of
things to come last week by
publicizing the results of an audit showing Hamilton County
commissioners had made
illegal fund transfers totaling
$4.2 million to gain $13 million in
welfare payments from the
state.
The audit, released after Fer-

guson had been in office scarcely more than three weeks, reflected badly not only on the
Republican commissioners but
on Ferguson's predecessor,
Roger Cloud, who had warned
the Hamilton County officers
twice about the mistake to no
avail.
Ferguson has served notice
he will be making thorough
checks on the way his duties
were handled by the Republicans who occupied the office
1953, when he was knocked out
by former Gov. James A.
Rhodes after 16 years as auditor.
"There's a lot of things wrong
in here," Ferguson told United
Press International last week.

rectly involved.
What inference did to the
GOP in last year's "loan scandal" is well known. Gov. John
J. Gilligan is fully aware he
needs no direct association with
Ferguson's office to reap the
benefits of any Republican
"skeletons" that might chance
to fall out of the auditor's closet.
The governor apparently
plans to know as little as
possible about the auditor's
activities. He was asked at a
recent news conference what he
thought
of
Ferguson ' s
wholesale
dismissals
of
Republican employes.
The question might have
hooked a slower man, Ql.lt
Gilligan had the reply.
"Mr. Ferguson has his own/
constituency," he answered
with a smile.
The prospect of having someone with Ferguson's experience
in the auditor's office must be
devotion, consistency, concern fearsome enough for Repuband support. Remember, "All licans. But the auditor has
work and no play, etc." We made a unique addition to his
don't inherit or buy respect. It
must be earned by all.
What's wrong with dreaming.
Every good thing lives in
someone's dreams before it can
be created. May the supervised
"Rec Center" become a reality.
We draw inspiration and
strength from others. THEY

County Superintendent of
Let us not let them down!
School I. Brooks Smith, in
response to a letter from 13 area
ministers expressing their
"urgent concern for the
restoration of harmony between
the Mason County School Board
and its Superintendent,"
Saturday delivered a letter to
Rev. Charles S. Thompson and
the other clergy.
The contents of the letter :
Dear Rev. Thompson :
"I received a letter from the
ministers of Mason County
expressing urgent concern for
the restoration of harmony
between the Mason County
School
Board
and
its
Superintendent. Since this letter
was signed by you and twelve
other ministers, I think it only
fi tting and proper that I express
my appreciation for yo ur
concern and agree wholeheartedly with your letter .
"I am ready and willing to do
my utmost at any time to

staff which could result in even
more potent use of the auditing
technique.
Ferguson has hired 0. F.
Knippenburg,
a
veteran
Statehouse newsman and
former investigative reporter
for the Dayton Daily News, as a
public information man.
Knippenburg is regarded by
his ex-colleagues as having a
first rate grasp on state finances and political and
governmental mechanisms. It
is generally conceded that if he
is turned loose on the musty
payrolls, expense vouchers and
other records of the last 20
years, he could be nothing but
trouble for the GOP.
Furthermore, Knippenburg,
having been a newsman, would
know exactly what to do with
information once he obtained it.
His knowledge of the press
would produce maximum effeet, whether or not the conelusions drawn by the auditor's
office were justified.

"People will find out a lot of
things."
The 78-year old auditor whose
political career spans six
decades confirmed he has his
field workers investigating the
practices not only of the Cloud
administration but the Rhodes
regime which lasted from 195363.
"We're working on some
things," Ferguson said. "I can't
give you any details right now,
but we'll have them."
With Ferguson calling the
shots on investigations, the results could be devastating for
Republicans. Well-timed audit
reports could do untold damage
by inference alone, ev'ID if future GOP candidates are not di-

Youth Can Be Served
BY GOLDIE CLENDENIN
PORTLAND - We can help
our youth by gaining and
keeping their respect and
confidence, and by treating
them like (somebody) an adult,
in conversation.
Tell them man to man, or
woman to woman, what they
should do, or not do, and why.
Then ask their opinion and
LISTEN to them for awhile.
Most youths will respond to
being treated like a human
being, not a chattel to make us
proud of. Nothing is 100 per cent
foolproof, but by your letters
some of you have tried
everything else.
Time is transient, can't be
frozen, baked, canned or
hoarded; it consists of
yesterday, today and tomorrow.
And sometimes there is no
tomorrow! Youth is a product of
our generations, just as human,
the same basic urges and needs
undeveloped by time and experience.
But they can be guided and
directed into responsible adults
by parents, teachers and
judges, using these crumbs of
time
they throw away on
blaming outrage and faultfinding .
Now is the time to help. Dig

that the board and the

order to provide the best
educational opportunity for the

" We have so much to be

THAT W.A:S THE WEEK THAT WAS! I know it's supposed to
be "This is the week that was." But, oh my goodness, last week!
We had snow, we had sleet, we had rain, we had sunshine, we had
fog. The day the fog was so low made me think we were on the
moors in England. You've heard of heads in the clouds? Well, we
had our feet in the clouds that day, the fog was so low.

rr PLEASES ME so to get responses to my column.
Remember the time I asked about the sea gulls? A woman had
seen some down near the dam, and called us because this was a
rare thing around here.
W. M. GOODWIN OF ALBANY sent the following interesting
information about these birds. He wrote:
"Possibly the monument in honor of sea gulls at the Mormon
Temple at Salt Lake City isj&gt;est known record of the migration of
this sea bird. When the Mormons first settled at Salt Lake, after a
most hazardous trip by wagon train across the desert plains,
many men and women had to pull their worldly belongings on
hand carts due to death of horses and loss of wagons in crossing
turbulent rivers.
"After arriving at the present site of the city of Salt Lake,
they set in to plant their crops. Due to a dry climate, they had to
get water to irrigate their soil (to keep crops growing) for without
a good crop they were doomed to failure. Their food supply was
about exhausted and they were living mostly on wild meat.
"When the crops were about ready to harvest, millions of
grasshoppers came and were eating everything growing from the
ground. Everyone able to walk went to the fields to destroy the
hoppers, only to learn they were fighting a losing battle.
"Then from out of the northwest there seemed to be a black
cloud heading towards them ; the sky seemect to turn black. As the
cloud got nearer they saw they were birds.
" hnmediately they gathered together and began to pray.
They thought what the hoppers would leave, the birds would eat.
The birds (sea gulls) landed in the fields and started devouring
the hoppers. The gulls stayed in the area until the hoppers were
all gone. The Mormons were so grateful they erected a monument
next to the Mormon Temple in honor of the gulls. No one had ever
seen sea gulls in that part of the country before.
"While I was stationed in the state of Washington I did a lot of
hunting and fishing. One time on a hunting trip I came along the
bank of a small river and saw a lot of gulls hovering over a riffle in
the river. Going closer and investigating, I saw what the gulls
were doing. When the fish, which were large salmon, got in
shallow water the gulls would attack them and pick their eyes out.
I put a stop to their feast with several blasts from my shotgun. I
don't know if the gulls are protected by law or not, but I never
knew of any one killing them."
I THINK MR. GOODWIN'S letter is an interesting follow-up
on the gulls. By the way, Mr. Goodwin is my uncle, one of my most
favorite people in the world because he helped rear me.
EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER has been cold, the young
people who have horses, still get out and exercise and feed their
pets. Saw Valorie Sheets riding her horse the other day, her long
hair flying in the wind and the sun shining on it. It was a pretty
sight.
SAY, DID YOU KNOW the library is open till 9 p.m. each
week night? It closes at 5 p.m . Saturdays.
LEARNED THE LITTLE BOY I wrote of last week was
David Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don M. Brown, 504 Maple
Drive.
CONGRATULATIONS TO PATIY LARGE for her fine
showing in the Miss Ohio Boating Pageant in Cleveland on Jan. 19.
She was fourth runner-up. When I saw Miss Large at Rio Grande
the other day she was wearing a " knock-out" outfit, a chocolate
brown cape (matching her hair and high brown boots.)
I remember the lovely Patty in the River Recreation Queen
Contest. She wore a pink formal that had long sheer sleeves and a
sheer overskirt that blew in the Ohio River air, it was something
to see.
She sings too.

Help Us!, it welcomes laughs
but won't dodge a serious
question with a brush-off.
Send your teenage questions
to YOUTH ASKED FOR IT,
care of Helen Help US! this
newspaper.
DOES CAPITAL "I"
MEAN WVE OF SELF?
Dear Helen :
How come we are supposed to
capitalize " I" and we don't
capitalize "you" or " he, she,
they," etc. ? You even write,
" My mother and I," making
your own self important, but
giving your parent lower case.
Don't say it's because " I" is
only one letter, as " a" isn't
capitalized. - STUDENT
Dear Student:
Maybe it's to avoid "I"
strain: Little "i" is hard to
write and dot.
You'd be surprised how many
young people no longer
capitalize " I, " however. Let's
ask them and find out why.- H.
Dear Helen:
Please print this letter
because I'd like kids to know
what I went through being
married at 15, and how I don't
regret it.
Tony and I had to get
married . I was only a freshman
and Tony a junior. My parents
threatened to send me to a prep
school but my grandmother
said it was too late - they
should have done it a long time
ago.
Tony 's parents kicked him
out, then later on invited him
back to discuss the problems
with me and my folks.
News got around fas t, and I
quit school in my second month,
m os tly because of family
reputation . I have four sisters
and Tony has two. It would have
been hard on them.

1 School PTA members are

1
spreading rumors that Tony
was seen with a former girl
friend just a few days after we
were married. I didn't believe
them as he was working, going
to school and coming right
home to me afterwards.
As the months wore on, Tony
and I realized how much the
baby meant to us. We felt
strange with our former school
friends and were too young for
married friends, but we
managed.
Little Mary Elisebeth was
born prematurely and died two
days later. we didn't cry much
because we told ourselves how
could you love someone you
never really had?
Right now Tony is 24 and I'm
22 and we are still happily
married after seven years.
Tony graduated from the
University last year and I'll be
graduating from college soon.
We don't regret having been
married, but I do advise all kids
-don 't marry in your teens! It
isn' t romantic fun. It can be hell
- even if you love each other
deeply. - NOT SORRY BUT
WISER NOW
Dear Helen:
I'm in love with a boy named
Gary.
There's
only one
problem: He's in love with a girl
named Diane. Diane is beautiful
and, to top it off, she is my best
friend .
There is one good thing
though. She's in love with a boy
named David who is going with
a girl named Cindy.
Gary likes me a little more
than a friend.
What should I do ?
HELPLESS
Dear Helpless :
Hope Diane, being beautiful,
attracts the perfect guy outside
this fivesome. Then Gary might
decide for you, Cindy could keep
her David, and Diane and her
new guy could be king and
queen of the Senior Ball.
Well, you can dream, can 't

George Washington as
Gardner is Club Topic
CHESHIRE
George
Washington as a Plants Man,"
was the program topic for the
Wayside Garden Club meeting
at the home of Mrs. Charles
Tate with Mrs. Marion Darnell
as co-hostess. The meeting was
opened by members repeating
the Club Collect after which
Mrs. Stanley Shaver gave the
devotions, readings, Sureness
and Two Days.
Roll call was answered by
members quoting the Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address. Secretary,
treasurer and civic reports
were given. Plans were made
for additional plantings as soon
as weather permits. Two
mE-mbers, Mrs. Arthur Rupe
and Mrs. Perry Bradbury, are
in Florida and the club had
correspondence from them.
Mrs. Bruce Yeauger gave the
demonstration for the month,
using a beautiful brown bottle.
She
made
a
hogarth
arrangement with forsythia and
ysllow daisies.
Mrs. Emmett Thompson gave
a talk on Washington. One of the
most visited of America's
historic shrines, Mount Vernon,
Va., has, almost from the start,
been a showplace of landscaped
grounds and well-tended gardens. Martha, Washington's
wife, was a skilled gardener
when she married him.
She brought with her
knowledge of choice native
plants and with exotics from
many parts of the world.
Washington's diary recorded
the grafting of fruit trees and
his special interest in trees and
shrubs. He employed a
professional gardener in 1765
who assisted in drawing up
garden plans. Several of the
trees planted are still there
today.
It was at this time that the
Lombardy poplar was introduced to this country.
Another new plant was the
weeping willow tree which was
plan ted in groves. In 1784 seeds
of the buckeye and Kentucky
tree were planted. Trees of
these species survive there
today.
Evergreen and aspen trees
were planted also about this
time. In 1785 live oaks and the
magnolia were started. After
the close of the Revolutionary
War, Washington had a green
house built and he was sent
seeds of palm, jasmine, mandarin orange, pepper, mango,
Cinnamon, coffee, sugar cane,
papaw, lime and others from all
parts of the United States and
the West Indies.
Plans for "live fences" or
hedging were planted to protect
crops, fruit trees, intruders,
human as well as brute.
Members told of feeding birds
and the various kinds of birds

POMEROY - Mike Sawyer, who moved with his parents,
Mac and Amanda, from Pomeroy to Louisville, Ky. about four
years ago, is right now having a bad time.
Mike is a patient at the St. Mary's Hospital, Room 3212,
Rochester, Minn. Due to a malignancy one of his arms had to be
removed. This is certainly a very traumatic experience for a 20
• year old and cards and letters from his many friends here would
surely help.
HAVE ANY GOOD USED hats or pocketbooks that you can
spare? .
Geraldine Kessinger is trying to collect some to be taken to
the Southeastern Ohio Mental Health Center for women patients.
She and other members of American Legion Auxiliary units in
Meigs County will be staging a community service party on
March 11. They also need some small items, cosmetics, hose,
scarves, handkerchiefs, combs, etc., to be used for games prizes.
Mrs. Kessinger's phone number is 992-7057.

OUR APOLOGIES TO Mr. and Mrs. Cecil H. Kauff of
• Rutland. Seems we had them celebrating a 6oth wedding anniversary instead of a 50th one in the recent announcement of the
observance.
The Kauffs for their golden wedding anniversary will have
open house from 2 to 5p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 14.
ALWAYS WE'VE HEARD of blue ladies, blue skies, blue
heaven, and blue rooms- but blue roses?
Green gladioli and zinnias, yes. But blue roses?
Yep, there are such things. Greenland Studios of Miami, Fla.
are advertising blue roses at $8.98 per bush, noting that they have
been "specially bred to show off delicate blue shades iii the silver
gray petals."
Speaking of roses, the All-American Rose Selections award
winning roses for 1971 are Aquarius, a pink grandiflora; the
Redgold, a floribunda chrome- yellow rose with brick-red edges;
and Command Performance, a fluorescent orange-red hybrid tea.
MEIGS COUNTY'S CYSTIC fibrosis child, Sherri Marshall,
had a delightful sixth birthday last week, and her mother, Mrs.
Charles Marshall extends her thanks to all of you who were so
generous with cards and gifts. As we mentioned before, Sherri's
future is anything but bright. There is no cure for the disease she
has.
Members of Meigs Salon, Eight and Forty, an organization
dedicated to raising money for and working with cystic fibrosis
children, took a beautiful cake and a gift to Sherri.
WE HAVE IT ON GOOD authority that Carrie Neutzling was
a "smash" in the milkman role of a skit presented at the
American Legion Auxiliary midwinter conference in Columbus
last weekend. Seems her specialty was Iimburger cheese and
somehow her impromptu comments got around to air pollution ...
A CERAMIC SHOW BEING planned for the first week in
March at the Pomeroy branch of the Athens Savings and Loan
should be of interest to lots of people. Ceramics is certainly a
popular craft these days with the young and old alike.

POMEROY _ Several articles have appeared in The TimesSentinel over the past few weeks in regard to historical events of
Great Bend.
Among these was an article pertaining to what is known as
the pioneer cemetery. Following is a part of a letter from Mon~oe
Chase, Point Pleasant, who throws a little more light on Metgs
County's history:
.
.
"In your article, Sunday, 24th, and picture of the htstoncal
cemetery at 'Great Bend,' Meigs County, Ohio, you mentioned
Haviland Chase - my great-great-grandfather - born Jan. 8,
1768, at Otsego, N. Y., in Duchess County. He w~s t~e seve~th
generation from William Chase who came to Am~nca m 1630 w~th
the fleet which brought Governor Winthrop. Haviland Chase died
· in 1824 and was buried in Meigs County, Ohio. He married
Magnete Rogers (born in Vermont, 177~ - ~ed 1~) who was
buried at Maysville, Ky., where her family nugrated m the early
1800s.
Mr. Chase also reports that he has a Chase family branch
history, which he will be glad to share, on some of t~e early
history of the family in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvama, New
York, Vermont and Massachusetts.

MRS. SARAH E . (SADIE) BROWN of Minersville- a liyely
83-year-old -is a patient of Dr. Charles Meckstroth who will
speak at 7:30p.m. Tuesday at Trinity Church in Pomeroy.
Dr. Meckstroth's appearance, with the public urged to attend,
is a part of the heart fund drive activities. He is a Columbus heart
specialist and during surgery on Mrs. Brown on June 27last year,
he installed a pacemaker. She was confined to the intensive care
ward of University Hospital about nine days following surgery.
She returned to Dr. Meckstroth in October for a checkup and is
not scheduled for another checkup until next October. She's doing
fine with the pacemaker which saved her from becoming a bed
patient. She's now able to do just about anything she wants. In two
years, new batteries will have to be installed but this will be
nothing compared to her original open heart surgery.
Incidentally- pleasant, well-liked Sadie will be 84 years old
on Valentine's Day. She's a sweetheart, all right!
By the way, Xi Ganuna Mu Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi

WHITE
SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. (UPI)- The
l3 Appalachia area governors
have put the Nixon administration on notice they will
fight replacement of the Appalachian aid program by a
proposed federal- state revenue
sharing plan.
The governors on the Appalachian Regional Commission
met for three hours here Friday and unanimously adopted a
resolution calling on President
Nixon and Congress to extend
the program for four years.
At the same time, the governors and their representatives
were briefed by White House
aides on the Nixon plan to
share $16 billion in federal revenues with state and local
governments.
Ohio Gov. John J. Gilligan.
said the President's plan, presen ted by Ed Harper, assistant
to the President for domestic
affairs, was "greeted with general scepticism" by the nine
governors present and the representatives of two others.
"The governors today raised
some very serious questions about the practical aspects of
this program," Gilligan told
newsmen after the meeting.
Mixing Money
' 'The Nixon administration is
making a big deal about taking
$5 billion out of the $230 billion
national budget and returning
it to the states," Gilligan said .
"All they're doing is inflating
that figure and putting the
money in a Mix Master."
- Gilligan explained that $11
billion of the proposed $16 billion to be shared already goes
back to the states in federal
grants-part of it for the Appalachia program.
He added that under revenue
sharing, the big cities would be
able to use their power in state
legislatures and outbid Appalachia areas for the federal
money.
Gilligan said Harper claimed
the funds shared with the states
would grow with the national
economy. But the Ohio governor
noted the percentage of the
national budget returned to the
states apparently always will
be the same.
Gilligan also quoted Harper
as saying "nobody will lose"
under the administration's proposed revenue sharing plan. But
