THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVIILLE, ONTARIO Weekly Editors Tour U. S. Au On Return Goodw"Il lMission 1 Ob INSTALMENT NO. 3 Kentucky One thing that makes the coun- tryside sa, attractive in Kentucky is the iact that mast ai the fences are constructed ai boards, many of tbem in fancy designs, and al painted a brilliant white. We were told that many of them were painted with baking powder, but when we expressed aur astonish- ment, it was explained that the money ta do At was made iromn the sale ai a well-known brand of baking powder. Lexingtan is a delightiul city, and it is taa bad that we bad ta rush away after only ane day there. Our next stop was at Dan- ville whicb is aimost in the cen- tre fa Kentucky, and here we were guests af Enos Swain, ai the Dan- ville Advocate-Messenger, whoala- tbough be had anly beard the nigbt before that we were cam- ing, had produced a printed pro- gram ai entertainment for the "ICanadian Press Good-Will Tour," which included a visit ta the Ad- vocate-Messenger plant, where photographs were taken whicb appeared the next day in bis pa- per; a tour ai Danville visiting sucb places as Centre Coliege, Kentucky College for Women, Kentucky Schoal for the Deaf, Constitution square, McDowel home, and ather historical spots. At Danvilie there is a printing scbool for deai mutes. It is spot- lessly dlean, very weli equipped, and we were told that the gradu- ates are in great demand in news- paper and printing plants. It was at Danville, Kentucky, that the first internal operation was performed an December 25th, 1809, by Dr. McDowell. His sta- tue is now in the state capital building at Frankfort. It is said that there was terrible indignation through the country upon this wa- man patient, and if she had died, it is certain that the pianeering doctor wouid have been lynched as a murderer. However, the pa- tient recovered and lived for some twenty years aiter her or- deai. Beaumont Inn Last item on the pragram was lunch at Beaumont Inn, at Har- rodsburg, one ai the mast famous eating places in the United States. Our meai there was something ta tell about. The menu which we were expected ta eat consisted af cream ai vegetable saup. coneeal- ed fruit, tossed bowl salad, Ken- tucky ham, southern iried cbick- en, beaten biscuits, corn muffins, cheese souffle, lima beans, corn, apple sauce witb cherries, whip- ped potataes, butterscotch pie, ba- nana ice cream, and coff ee, and in case anyone did nat get enaugh, there was a bowl ai iried chicken in the middle ai the table. Dec- orations were branches ai bitter- sweet. After such a meal, one has scarcely strength to'push him- self away from the table. Harrodsburg is the oldest set- tiement west ai the Allegheny Mountains, and we visited the aid fort and state park where there are replicas ai the first dWellings, filied with many ai the utensils used by those pianeers, and aiso the cabin in which the parents ai Abraham Lincoln were married on June l2th, 1806. At Harrodsburg we aisa visited D. M. Huttan, veteran editor ai the Harrodsburg Herald. Land $500 an Acre While riding with Mr. Enas Swain irom Danville ta Harrods- burg, I learned that thecountry in that part ai Kentucky wili pro- duce almast any kind ai crop in abundance. Land is valued at $500 an acre and many ai the farms have -a thousand or more acres with fine aid mansions that have been in the same iamily for generatians. I asked about inheritance taxes, and faund that this is one ai the present day problems whicb wiii possibiy> change things. It is ire- quently impassible ta pay these taxes, xith the resuit that already some estates have passed into ath- er hands, sometimes resulting in absentee ownersbip, which is not a good tbing. the banks ai f the O0hia river fo-r miles. Just ta, keep the record straight we must repart that there were IIOMAlE MEOEII many toil bridges crossed an the trip same ai them for such ridicu- lous fees as five cents for a pas- senger car. One woud t hink that such a tail as this cauld easiiy be abolished. Through Penusylvanla Crossing througb that strip ai West Virginia that points ta the north, we were in Pennsylvania, and arrived at Carnegie, a sub- urb ai Pittsburgh, in time for lunch as guest§ ai Mr. and Mrs. James Knepper, ai the Carnegie Signal-Item, whose plant we vis- ited bef are proceeding ta the Knepper home, wbere there was a gathering ai the clan, inciuding W. A. Helman, ai the Irwin Re- publican Standard; Earl Clark, ai the Clairton paper, and Jess. Hr Rodgers, ai the Westinghouse Val- ley News, ai Wilmerding, Pa. Ail ai tbese papers are publisbed in the Pittsburgh area. In the aiternoon we crassed iram the west side ta the east side ai Pittsburgh ta Irwin, wbere we spent the nigbt at tbe home ai Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Helman, and also attended an interciub meeting and ladies' night ai the Irwin Kiwanis Club, at the Jacktawn Hatel, on tbe Lincoln Higbway, one mile from Irwin. Smoky Pittsburgh Our way through Pittsburgh was made much easier as we were guided by Messrs. Rodgers and Helman. Pittsburgb is a mast amazing place. One ai the mast bigbly industriaiized spots in Am- erica, and is buîlt in the valleys ai numberless bis, wbich are mare like huge knobs, each sev- eral bundred feet high. While tbe huge steel plants are on tbe low levels, workmen's bouses dling ta ail accessible spats on tbe bills, until we w6ndered bow the resi-, dents cauld ever get ta tbem. Pittsburgh is known as the smoky city, but we were told that it is these his that bold the smoke, and. keep it from rising. When traffic experts draw plans for depressed and eievated speed- ways through Montreal or Tor- onto, they look like some archi- tect's dreams. However, the arig- mnals can ail be found at Pitts- burgh. Crossing the Allegheny and Monangahela rivers, where tbey join ta mak<e the Ohio river, we were wbisked througb a sunk- en speedway wbich cuts tbrouglh the downtown area, and soon sbat' up on ta an overbead roadway. Our route took us through Scbenley Park, and close enough ta see the Cathedral ai Learnîng, the 41-storey building wbich ac- commodates 12,000 students and is the tallest educational building in the world; thence over the Wes- tinghouse bridge, a huge structure 200 feet bigh irom wbich tremen- dous batteries ai smoking steel plant chimneys could be seen far below. At Wiimerding we went through the plant ai the Westinghouse Valley News, one ai the most mo- demn and efficient printing plants we bave ever seen. Pittsburgh is in the beart ai the coal mining country, and in an- swer ta aur enquiries, Mr. Rodgers told us that be bas ta pay $5.75 a tôn for bis coal. This is a big jump ta what he paid wben he first went ta Wilmerding. In those days he bought the best of coal far five cents a bushel. (To be concluded next week) Newtonville Women's Institute Make Merry With Mirthful Stories A largely attended meeting ai Newtonville Women's Institute was beld January l5tb, at tbe hame ai Mrs. Chas. Marris. Supt. ai Cbildren's Shelter wrote, thanking for Christmas parcels received. The usual $3.00 was voted' Bowmanville Hospital. A iee ta Ronald Burley for in- struction given sebool orchestra was considered, amount ta be de- cided at next meeting. Arrange- ments were made for St. Pat- rick's Tea, March 19. The subjeet ai a library for the village was introduced by Mrs. Pearce. It was decided Mrs .Pearce and Mrs. Bruce arrange initial plans for same. February meeting will be cancelled and card parties held as a means ai raising iunds. Miss J. A. Thompson bad charge ai pragram. A well-pre- pared paper, by Mrs. Wiilis Jones on motta from printed program, "Today well lived makes yester- day a dream of happiness, and Warden Normnan Green Has Long Experience In Civic Administration Elected Warden af the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham for 1947, Reeve Norman Green, Blackstock, becomes the first Warden from Cartwright in the past 48 years when the late J. H. Devitt held the office at the turn ai the century. Warden Green was elected on the second ballot in a three-cor- nered cantest. The final caunt was, Green 22 votes, Reeve Ted Woodyard, Clarke, 14, and Reeve H. Bigelow, Millbrook, 4. In the alternatint arrangement for the Wardenship the contest this year was among Durham County can- didates. In the aid days the Wardenship was largely a free-ior-all contest generaily alang palitical lines but this alignment bas broken down somewhat in recent years as the 1947 vote would indicate. The I5urbam County vote was divided as iollows: For Green: Reeve Baker, Bow- manville, the Reeve ai Manvers, Deputy Reeve Milison, Darling- ton and the Deputy Reeve, Port Hope. For Woodyard: Reeve, Port Hope, Deputy Reeve, Carke, Reeve, Hope, Reeve Squair, Dar- lingtan, and ReeveWalton, New- castle. For Bigeiow: Reeve and Deputy, Cavan, and Deputy Reeve, Man- vers. The decisive votes came irom the division in Northumberland County. Warden Green served 18 years in Cartwrigbt Council and for the past nine years bas been unde- ieated for Reeve. He bas served as chairman ai every caunty com- mittee save finance in the Coun- ties Council and for two years has been on tbe county road commis- sion. Speaking at bis inauguration as Warden, Mr. Green viewed the bonor as one ta be esteemed for bis municipality rather than a personal triumph. Noting that he bad ta ioilow in the iootsteps ai many distinguished predeces- sors be pledged himself ta do hîs Ibest in office. Mr. Green is a successiul far- mer. married, and with two sons.
