Local Officials At Dedication
Of $150,000,000 Plant
Donald D. Nichols, mayor of Caldwell and Rep. Edmund
James were among the 1200 people from a dozen states who gathered
at Cheshire, a small Ohio river village, Thursday, to witness the
dedication of an electric power plant. They were guests of the Ohio
Power company.
It isn't an ordinary power
plant, however, for it ranks
among the largest and most ef
ficient in the world. And it has
but one customer, the U. S.
Atomic Energy Commission's
new Portsmouth (Ohio) Project.
Kyger Creek Plant, a $150,
000,000 coal-burning station cap
able of producing 1,075,000 kilo
watts, was "dedicated to the
service and defense of this na
tion by the investor-owned elec
tric utility companies of this
region, acting through the Ohio
Valley Electric Corporation."
Ohio Governor Frank J. Lau
iche unveiled a large aluminum
tablet carrying the dedication
message. Three years and five
months earlier, in December
1952,
Governor Lausche also had
broken ground for this major
power plant today the largest
in Ohio and the second largest
ever built anywhere by private
enterprise.
A similar ceremony was held
yesterdav at Kyger's sister
plant, the 1,290,000-kw Clifty
Creek Plant at Madison, Ind.
This $175,000,000 plant was de
dicated by Indiana Governor
George N. Craig.
The entire OVEC project cost
approximately $385,000,000 and
its construction was completed
approximately three months
ahead of a schedule which was
accelerated from the very be
ginning. Most important, the net
result of the speed and efficiency
with which the project was car
ried out is the fact that the aver
age kilowatthour cost of elec
tricity to the AEC is LESS than
originally estimated four years
ago.

tinguished guests in attendance

May crowning ceremonies
were held at St. Philoniena's
Catholic church, Sunday after
noon in spite of threatening
weather conditions. A good at
tendance was present for the
ceremonies, but the visiting
priest was unable to attend be
cause of high water.
Commencement Time
A large crowd attended com
mencement exercises at Caldwell
high school, Thursday night. The
valedictory, which was given by
Helen Sarisky and the salutatory,
which was given by Wally Hill,
were both very well received.
Travel Time
Hill's Store now has a new dis
play in their window in keeping
with the summer vacationing
season. The display consists of
different types and sizes of
luggage with travel folders and
road maps arranged around the
luggage.
Beach Time
Gray's Store also has a new
window display in keeping with
the forthcoming season. They
have many different styles of
bathing suits displayed in the
indow along with beach towels,
and other beach wear.
Beauty Enchanced
The beauty of the courthouse
lawn was further enhanced last
week when several flower beds
were prepared by Custodian Dick
Fogle. The geraniums of many
colored blooms add much to the
attractiveness of the courthouse
lawn.
Clan Gathers
Mary Quick was all "talked
out and tuckered out" come Sun
day evening, following a meeting
of the family clan at her home.
This annual Memorial Day affair
brings more than 30 members of
the Quick family to Caldwell and
they spend the day catching up
on the news and what have you.
The Long Walk
Jon David Fast was to meet his
father at 11:30 a. m. Thursday
but school was dismissed a half
hour earlier so thereby hangs a
tale. A member of the third
grade here in Caldwell, his father
principal of the Belle Valley
school. So Jon David walked the
three miles to Belle Valley and
then on up to the grade schooi
looking for his father, who in
the meantime was in Caldwrli
looking for his son. The nin
year-old was a tired little boy
that night when he went to bed.
Every community, including
Caldwell, has some local nabobs
who think that the law was made

"Everyone enjoyed themselves
very much but there were some

next morning.

they all make it back just like

were brought back by their par

catch the Carlisle bunch. They
spent the day looking but caught
not one. After Arlan King got
through swinging the pattle, his
arm was sore, but the juniors
were worse on Tuesday after
outlining the typing manual. All
in all though, we really had
FUN.
"Besides the outlines, we
caught colds, poison ivy and
scraches.
"Last but not least the final
exams. Wow! I didn't realize the
teachers had so much ambition
till I saw those test. If I were
them I wouldn't have bothered.
"The girls enjoyed a picnic in
the home economics room, Tues
day. A potluck lunch was really
enjoyed since our cooks aren't
serving dinner this week.
"Well, tomorrow is closing day
and there hasn't been a tear
shed."
