Ohio Power Merges Valley-Southern
Divisions With Offices At Newark
4n a move to further streamline and simplify administrative
Operations, the Ohio Power Company today announced plans to
combine its Valley and Southern Divisions. Headquarters for the
combined division will be at Newark.
A.N. Prentice, vice president and general manager of the Com
pany, said, "The regrouping of administrative areas will in no way
reduce customer services. In fact
it will help us improve our «lec
trie service.
"The change will help reduce
administrative costs, which have
been mounting rapidly over the
past several years. The consoli
dation of record keeping activi
ties alone will result in substan
tial savings," Prentice said, "and
permit us to use these savings to
build and intall new equipment
directly benefiting service to our
customers."

the above places but not a
single one proved to be adequate
for this purpose, in his opinion,
and he will so report back to
the board of education.
Members of the board also felt
that the delegation had waited
until it was almost impossible
to change the split shift set-up,
for it has already been approved
by the state department of
education and all that remains is
for them to approve the hours
in the morning and afternoon.
After the delegation had left,
the board approved their school

For a number of years the 53
county area of the state being
served by Ohio Power was divid
ed into ten divisions. With the
replacement of small power
plants located in a number of
communities over the company's
service area by large modern,
more efficient plants like the
Philip Sporn Plant near Pom
eroy and the Muskingum and
Philo Plants on the Muskingum
River, it became possible to
simplify administration of the
company's power system by con
solidating many of the former
division operations. The Valley
Southern consolidation will brinp
the number of the company's
operating divisions to four with
headquarters at Newark, Steu
benviile, Lima and Canton.
Portsmouth will become a dis
trict headquarters and will be
one of the largest districts of
the new combined division. The
new division will retain the name
Southern.
C. W. Feil, present manager of
the Southern Division and form
erly of Portsmouth and Ironton
will manage the new division.
The effective date of the con
solidation has been scheduled to
coincide with plans of E. D.
Dougherty, Valley Division man
ager, to retire on Nov. 1. The
majority of employes in Ports
mouth will continue in their
present positions and locations
Ohio Power's present Valley
Division serves customers in the
Portsmouth, Ironton, Pomeroy
and Chesapeake areas.
District offices in the new
division in addition to Ports
mouth and Ironton will be New
ark, Cambridge, Zanesville, Lan
caster and Mt. Vernon.
Dodge Schedules Ads
In 3,700 Newspapers
Dodge has scheduled adver
tising space in 3,700 of the na
tion's daily and weekly news
papers to back its "most agprres
sive Summer sales program"
according to W. D. Moore, direc
tor of advertising and merchand
ising.
Moore said display ads running
from three to seven columns in
size would be used in the cam
paign, which runs for a 10-week
period extending through Sep
tember. The firm will spend
more than $1,000,000 on the pro
gram, including radio and tele
vision to supplement the news
paper campaign.
Based on the theme '"You're
paying for a new car make
sure you get one!", the selling
program is designed to take ad
vantage of the growing market
for cars in the Summer and Fall
seasons to maintain sales
momentum built up through the
first half of the 1957 model year
and to meet heavy "price" cam
paigns by competitors, Moore
said.
Worl W. Thompson is the local
dealer for the Dodge automobile
in Noble county.

tion and apprehension of law vio
lators and the protection of law
abidding citizens, and such auth
ority may not be infringed upon
by unreasonable identification
marks and lettering prescribed by
the county commissioners".
Sheriff Conaway advised the
board of commissioners that he
has on order identification mark
ers or decals which will be in
compliance with the law. These
facts were not known to the com
missioners when action was taken
last week.
Records show that the car was
purchased in March of this year
at a cost of $3,149.66, including
the two-way radio and other ac
cessories. A spokesman for the
commissioners expressed the
opinion that there was sufficient
time since the purchase of the car
for some identification to be made
on the vehicle to establish the car
as county property and in use by
the county sheriffs department.
Sheriff Conaway advised the
commissioners that in the officia
performance of his duties he
could operate with greater effi
ciency in apprehending law vio
lators when the department's car
could not be so easily identified
