horse and buggy trip, took them to
Hartford, O., to the home of Mr.
Drury’s grandmother.
Mr. Drury recalled that the day
was one of the hottest of the sum­
mer and that roads were deep with
dust.
“In all that 40-mile trip," Mr,
Drury said, “there was only one
quarter mile stretch of improved
road.’’
That “improved’’ road, incident­
ally, was a plank road.
'The couple set up housekeeping
in Beaver Center, which had been
home town to both before the wed­
ding, and lived there 14 years.
In 1919 they moVed to East
Springfield, eventually taking Up

“WE HAVE elected many pres•Idents here in this store, and we
have solved many state and na­

Calvin
Kleckner,
seventy-three-year-old veteran
store keeper of Mosiertown in
Crawford county, remarked the
other day.

Mrs. Kleckner, who is s ixtyseven, is his equally active part‘ ner.
Both are splendid, genial and
accommodating people. Their
store has become an institution,
known for service in a wide

Kleckner explained that his

By JOE COWDEN
When you go calling on a Jady
on-her 85th birthday you expect
to be escorted to her room and
find her propped in bed, or sit­
ting in a pillow-stuffed chair sur­
rounded by medicine.
Not so, with Mrs. Cora Staf­
ford.
She came bouncing down from
her third-floor room only seconds
after the arrival of a reporter
and photographer was announc­
ed the other day.
,
The doubtful reporter intro;
duced himself and asked: “-----your 65th or 85th birthday?”
After admitting tp it being 85,
dh Friday, Mrs. Stafford invited
reporter and photographer up to
her room where she could be
-n^^rviewed. with less interrup­
tion.
“After all,” she explained, “it’s
the first time I've ever been
interviewed.”
Eighty-five or not, Mrs. Staf­
ford is as spry, vigorous and
cheerful as a youngster of, say
40 or 50.
Her health and spirit^ are the
result of many years of outdoor
living, and hard work in her
younger days.

Oral Roberts, the Oklahoma

tedly a contrbversial figure.
His "brand” of religion may
not be acceptable^ to millions of

and is certainly not acceptable

to other millions of Jews and
Catholics.
But he looms big when the
universal criterion ‘Is the world
a better place because of his
life and work?’ —is applied to
him.
Since his big tent caravan
moved into Kearsarge last Friday. it is estimated that more

than 60,000 persons have come his local appearance. They rep­

In his thinking, there is an
inner heaven, when a person is
at peace with God, and an inner
hell when a person lives in con
flict with God’s law. The heaven
and hell of after life were
described as places of happy
love or unrequited passion.
There was little “fire and brim­
stone.” The accent was defi­
nitely “on the positive.”
It was a non > controversial
message such as anyone might
hear in the church of his
choice.

THE Commercial aspects of
the meeting are handled with taste.
Song books are sold to the audi­
ence; Brother Roberts’ books are
olfered for sale and ah offering is
taken before he begins to preach.
An expensive lighting and camera
set-up records the program for
future use on television. A taperecorder beneath the stage catches
his words for radio use.
The Erie meetings end Sunday.
Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock he
will preach on the seven phases of
his ministry. Before he leaves
Erie, more than 100,000 persons
will have heard one or more of
his sermons.
If they are all like Thursday
night’s, the Erie area will be a bet­
ter place for Brother Roberts having come here.—JBW.

500 Attend Services
At Crossingville Church
Some 500 persons—many from out of town—Sunday took
part in a double celebration at St. Peter and Paul Orthodox
Greek Catholic Church, Crossingville.
The event marked the dedication of the newly remodeled
church and the honoring of the patron saints of the church.
Special services were held in the
church Sunday morning with His
Grace The Most Reverend Ben­
jamin, archbishop of Pittsburgh
and West Virginia officiating. He
was assisted by the church pastor,
the Rev. Ivan Ladizinsky.
The Rev. Peter Kreta, dean»of
the Pittsburgh Diocese and pastor
of St. Mary’s Church, McKeesport,
Pa., was among the members of
the clergy who participated in the
services.
At 1 p. m. a banquet was held in
I the church hall.
t
j Key address was delivered byi
Judge Samuel Roberts of the Erie;
j County Orphans Court,
i
He commended the members of
ithe church for their contributions
Ito “the American way of life” and
'urged them to be on guard to pro; tect the nation from the "treacher­
ous force of Communism.”
' The bishop told the group it
should continue to help to con­
tribute to the good of the state to
make it the greatest in the nation.
A short talk was delivered by
Dr. Arthur Coleman, president of
Alliance College, Cambridge
Springs.

For Last Time
(Continued From iPage One)

But troubles continued to mount.
Patronage declined. Unibns
pressed for recognition. Feuds
developed and key personnel re­
signed. Lots big enough to accom­
modate the huge tent became
scarce, and fee circus had to set
up on fee outskirts of cities. Re­
cently, bad weather and injuries
plagu^ fee circus.
It"was against this background
that North decided to call it quits
on fee ‘ ‘Sawdust trail.”
At Sarasota, famed sadfaced
clown Emmett Kelly, who left the
circus at fee start of fee current
season when pickets of the Amer­
ican GuUd of Variety Artists ap
peared, refused to take a pessi
mistic view. He said:
“I don’t think the circus is fin­
ished by any means. The tented
version may be gone. I think it s
a smart thing for them to avoid
the hot July and August days.

anyway. They’ll probably'be form­

'
Labor troubles, bad weather,'
fising costs and other factors such’
as television, which cut into at­
tendance, put an end to the tent
show.
Similar problems sounded the
death knell earlier this year for

Lawrence Park Justice of the
. Peace Joseph Cresciman.
Rogers, former vice president
of the Rogers Brothers Co.,
Albion, pleaded not guilty Friday
to a charge of blackmailing his
father, the late Louis Rogers,
the company founder, of $100,000.
Dist. Atty. Herbert Johnson,
Jr., who directed filing of the
charges, said the younger Rogers
resigned his position last January
and sold his interests to the firm,
which manufactures truck trail­
ers. He then allegedly demanded
$100,000 from his father in exchemge for withholding informa­
tion from the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, Johnson said.
The district attorney said the
father was very iU and paid the
money to avoid fighting with his
son. The elder Rogers died Sept.

stops, rode to the next station,
and were met there by friends.
THE B & LE tracks from
Erie to Greenville were laid in;
1889, with work completed two
years later. The first passen­
ger train started daily service'
in either 1891 or 1892.
The late W. W. Reed, Erie in­
dustrialist and (in the 1880’s)
Congressman from this district,
iwas responsible for pushing
; through the program to have
the Erie-Greenville road built.
He persuaded George Kibler,
prominent Girard merchant, to
help promote the idea, and
eventually Girard and other
towns along the route raised
money to finance the project.
BUILDING OF the road was
complicated by the necessity of
^spanning Elk Creek, south of
jGirard. The span was finally
completed at a cost of about
$22,300.
The first passenger run over
the route was greeted at every
stop by wild celebrations and
impressive ceremonies.

^‘Trains Out of ConneauV^
\Progress on Bessemer RailrtMd
A story of progress in the art
of railroading is seen in the series
of pictures of Bessemer and Lake
Erie trains leaving Conneaut Har­
bor. The pictures were taken in
1902, 1949 and 1953 at nearly the
same location.

the site where the" Conneaut en­
gine terminal and YA tower were
later built. The second and third
pictures of the series were taken
from the viaduct on Rt. 20.
Many of the changes that have
taken place down through the
years are apparent in the photo­
graphs; others may be found in
‘he statistics. One of the chief dif­
ferences is in “the tonnage rating
of the trains which has .increased
from 1,825 tons in 1902 to 13,500
in 1953.

A dozen of them waxed nostal­

The Bullet will retire from serv­
ice Saturday, March 5.
A handful of train-lovers stood on

the icy W. 12th sf. sidewalk Wed­
nesday in front of the antiquated
passenger depot. They awaited the
approach of the bullet on its two
hour and fifteen minute run. It
wa3 20 minutes late.
■*‘There it is—it’s at Cherry st.
now,” someone half - shouted in
anticipation. Gli(fing slowly down
the street beside the faster moving
auto traffic, it crossed each inter­
section with caution. At 12th and

of his sentinel box to bring the
train to a halt. The Bessemer Bul­

trains in the country that obeys

were built by the Schoen Pressed)

Steel Company of McKees Rocks,
which later became the Pressed
Steel Car Company. Two hundred
of the cars were designated as
class H2, Nos. 5501 — 5700, 40-ton
capacity, of Schoen design. The
first two cars in the 1902 train
are of this design. This company
was also prevailed upon to build
four hundred 40-ton hopper cars of
Carnegie design, as shown by the
third car in the 1902 train. These
cars wre designated as class H3,
Nos. 5701—6100.
The gondolas in the 1902 train
are also Schoen design; no Car­
negie design gondolas were built
until 1905 when some were built
at the newly formed Standard
Steel Car Company at Butler, now
the Pullman - Standard Car Man­
ufacturing Company. This com­
pany was formed to enter the
rapidly expanding field of steel car
manufacture, as all the railroads
were becoming interested in build­
ing steel cars and scrapping wood­
en cars.
Testing Ground
Thus the Bessemer became the
testing ground for the early detO- -n-H-

signs of steel cars. Due to the ore
and limestone traffic and to the
mill service, the Bessemer was
able to give them a severe and
practical test. The Schoen design
soon proved to be superior to the
Carnegie design, and for sevei’al
years after 1897, all the steel cars,
pqrchased by the Bessemer vv'ere ..
of the Schoen design.
>
By 1903 the Bessemer was well
on its way in the conversion to
steel cars, and all the railroads
were building steel cars in large
numbers. Subsequently, both de­
signs began to be altered by the
introduction of some of features
of the other design, and it was not
long'until the two larger car build­
ing companies in the Pittsburgh
District, the Pressed Steel Car
Company at McKees Rocks and
the Standard Steel Car Company
at Butler, were building both de­
signs and mixed designs, as all
car builders do today.

Up came the accusatiem from
one of the brethren of the' Bap­
tist church, “The liar, he says
the world is fifteen thousand
years old. It ain’t so, the Bible
says it is five thousand years
old, and I’ll stick by it.’’
The“x»nal boat men joined in,
calling the speaker an unspeak­
able liar with vile profanity in­
termixed, repeating, with ciirses^^
jBiat the world was but five or
she- thousand years old, which
ever they happened to say more
easily. The more they declared
the truth of the biblical story, the
greater was their profanity, and
the more vile were the curses
they heaped on the would-be
speaker.
A bonfire was built in front of
the opera house. Whiskey and
hard cider in bottles and jugs
w'ere passed around, and a great
milling, womanless crowd dai«ed, cursed and yelled, “The be­
ing crook.”
Somebody yelled, “Let’s lam
him the world aint fifteen thous­
and years old. We’ll scorch him,
the liar, give him a taste of what
hell is like. Let’s get ’im.”
The speaker made a dive for
the door followed by a dozen
men who crowded into the sta erway, and up two or. three steps.
At the head of the stairs stood
Mason brandishing his two load­
ed pistols. MasOT, as an officer
in the Union Army a few years

ing a cocked pistol in each hand.
There was no doubt for Mason
shouted to be heard above flie
outcries of the rabble. The lead­
er at the foot of the stairs stood
mtionless for a moment, dazed
and undecided. He slunk back- •
ward and those near the door
eased out and the hall was
emptied.
“Let’s bum him in effygec,’
some one yelled. A canal boater
who was wobbly drunk was noted
wearing two or three pairs of
pants, one pair over the other
... “Pull a pair of pants otfen

band yelled. Somebody git an
armful, of straw from the livery

Hard cider and li(tuor was passed
about and the dance continued
witih curses and derisive profane
yells.
When the bonfire died down
1 noticably and the yelling sub' sided to a few cat calls. Mason
led the geologist to a back win­
dow. Underneath, there was a
lean-to. Mason held a sperm oil
lamp, and the geologist slipped
out the raised window, crawled
down the lean-to and let himself
to the ground, quietly stealing
back of the buildings, stores and
the old Presbyterian church, to
