Congratulating the organization


   Wintersville

   Seeks Street

 Commisioner
 The City Council inregular ses-
 sion last Tuesday agreed that the
 Village was in need of a qualified
 full time street commissioner
 and advised City Clerk Delbert
 Vance to make known that appli-
 cations for the job will be ac-
 cepted.
 The duties of the street com-
 missioner have been filled by the
 Mayor in the past.
 An ordinance regulating traffic
 on Springdale Avenue was acted
 upon as an emergency and pro-
 hibits trucks using the street as
 a thru street. Ordinance 658 was
 passed on first reading to adment
 ordinance 40 pertaining to the
 burning of paper, refuse, etc., in
 the village.
 A part of the meeting allowed the
 public in attendance to ask ques-
 tions. The questioning centered
 around the sewage project being
 completed. Mayor Arbaugh al-
 lowed the city to purchase cin-
 ders at a reasonable price and
 was in need of an acre of ground
 to store the cinders.
 Council called a meeting with
 the Police Department for ]Fil-
 day, August 19 at 7 p.m.
 Mayor Arbaugh presided at the
 meeting attended by Councilmen,
 Arthur Bartel, John Ford, An-
thony Petrozzi, Francis Gribben
and Robert Snyder. Councilman

  FranK Clay, LaRue, was re-
elected president of the Ohio
Rural Electric Cooperatives at
the statewide association's 25th
annual meeting last week.
Howard A. Cummins, Executive
Manager of the 141,000 member

cond vice president, Glen Mos-
man, Nevada, and secretary-

at its banquet Monday was Gover-
nor James A. Rhodes who pointed
out that industry now could lo-
cate at any point in rural Ohio to
find ample electric power, thanks
to the state's 30 member-owned
electric companies.   Governor
Rhodes also lauded the group on
its project of building Ohio's
largest electric generating sta-
tion, the Cardinal Plant, in part-
nership with the Ohio Power
Company.
  Ted W. Brown, Secretary of
State, commended the organiza-
tion on its detailed reporting of
Ohio's newly apportioned voting
districts and other projects ser-
ving the state's voters. Brown
referred to the OREC special
Voters Manual.
  A resolution adopted by dele-
gates supports the nation's nearly
1000 member - owned electric
systems seeking in proposed le-
gislation to establish a Federal
Electric Bank, Cummnins pointed
out. The bank would be designed
to handle the special require-
ments of rural utility finance and
eventually would be owned by its
borrowers.
"The program is similar to the
all - ready - successful Federal
Land Bank system," Cummins
said. "The proposed bank would
be a source of funds for the
electric companies as they re-
build heavier power lines to meet
the demand for electricity which
is doubling every ten years."
Cummins reported the systems
will need about $10 billion in con-

  to members, stated Ohio's mem-
  ber-owned rural systems were
  now faced with the challenge of

  power  demands, rather than
  building to unserved areas. Cum-

Three Local Residents

     Fogbound At Sea


  What started out as the annual
  U. S. S. Wasp's Family Day
  Cruise, ended up in an overnight
  thirty hour cruise. Among the
  1500 guests and 2400 crewmen
  were Mrs. Hazel Baker and
  daughter, Barbara of 1400 Ridge
  Avenue, and Judy Miller of 280
  Cunningham Lane; guests of
  Frank Lee Baker MM3, aformer
  graduate of Wintersville High
  School and now a crewman of the
U.S.S. Wasp.
  Pulling out of Boston Harbor at
  9 a. m. Monday, August 8, the
  slight fog gavePo threat. Soon
  after noon the Wasp's Captain,
Melvin R. Etherdge, reported that
the fog had closed in and caused
the ship to drop anchor. By early
evening there was no hope of pul-
ling back into BostonHarbor, and
the Captain decided to make a
night of it.
It was later reported that the fog
would not lift before 11 a.m.
Tuesday in Boston Harbor. The
Captain then decided to turn his
ship for Quonset Point, Rhode Is-
land where the ship was to dock
the following day.
Bedding the 1500 guests and 2400
crewmen did not cause too much
of a problem as the giant ship was
built to hold a wartime com-
plement of 3500.
