Mrs. Lucille sanoers


    Mrs. Jean L. McCoy
 Mrs. Willis Porter, Sr., was
 the hostess at a luncheon held
 recently in the home of her
daughter, Mrs. George Allan on
Fernwood Road. Mrs. Allan was
assisted by Mrs. Willis Porter,
Jr. for adelicious luncheon serv-
ed at noon.
The afternoon was devoted to
a very lively conversation as the
ladies  reminisced   about the
"Good Old Days" of sled riding
in a sled drawn by two horses,
or riding down Fernwood Hill
on a board.
The current problem of Civil
Rights was brought to mind as
it was noted that at one time,
65 years ago, at Powell's School,
where most of the guests had
attended, thirteen Negro children
and twelve white students all
studied peacefully together.

eluded Mrs. Jean L. McCoy, who

Kirk, a nephew at RD #1 Bloom-
ingdale, Ohio.

  Porter are daughters of the late
Ex-Sheriff John and Mary Dins-
more McCoy. Their hugh ten
room farm home was the favorite
place for parties and square
dances in the "Good Old Days".
  Admittedly, the luncheon nor the
conversation was unusual, but the
unique aspect of the meeting
was that the combined ages of
th five ladies, all of the McCoy
family is 412 years, specifically,
?75, 80, 82, 85 and 90.

  ROAD BID-A bid to resurface
  Meadow Road, GardenDrive, Lo-

  was submitted by Snider Road
  Company at the sum of $8,454.75.
  Councilman Pefrozzi made a
  motion that Meadow Road and
  Garden Drive be resurfaced, sec-
  onded by Councilman Gribbin.
  A delegation from Sunset Gar-
  dens was present to complain
  of the condition of their road,
  created by the sewer construc-


tion.
Councilmen Snyder and Bartell
suggested that they wait till
Spring before starting this pro-
ject, stating that when chipping
and sealing you must have warm
weather. This could be a waste
of money doing it this late in
the year, stated Mr. Snyder.
Councilman Ford, acting Mayor,
thought that the amount of the
bid was high and that it should
be advertised again, or maybe
even waiting till Spring and have
it Blacktopped. Voting for the
motion to chip and seal Sunset
Gardens, Petrozzi. Steele and
Gribbin. Voting   against were
Councilmen Snyder and Bartell.
The motion passed.
Councilman  Simdkr reported
that he was receiving comlplaints
on sewer gas. He asked what
could be done to let the people
be assured that this matter was
being cared for.
Councilman Ford stated that
he talked to the Mayor and Mr.
McJunkin. engineer, early in the
day and said that the situation


of sewer gas would probably
be solved by Friday. He said
that Mr. McJunkin was work-
ing with the state engineer on
this problem.
Councilman Snyder suggested
that it would be nice if one of
the Village employees, Mr. Hen-
dricks or Mr. Hutton, could stop
and check out some of these com-
plaints about sewer gas so that
they would have some knowledge
of the problem when the engineers
come in and look the system over.
Councilman Snyder, speaking in
behalf of all the councilmen
stated that a vote of thanks should
be given to all the people who
paid cash for sewer assesment.
Better than 50% of the citizens
paid cash, which will enable the
Village to finish this project
and also to reduce purchasing
of Bonds to finance the system.
The next regular council meet-
ing will be held Tuesday, October
18& at 7:30 p.m.
