Erection of a building for a new
industry and installation of a muni
cipal water system are the two No.
1 projects at Pandora this summer.
The industry is that of the F. C.
Russell company, Cleveland, manu
facturers of metal storm sash and
screens which plans to open a plant
in Pandora as soon as the necessary
building is completed.
Pandora business men some time
ago pledged the necessary money for
a site along the A. C. & Y. railroad,
a tract 300 by 800 feet on the Ba
singer road at the southeast edge of
the village.

the mains
Iron pipe for the water mains has
been distributed along the village
streets for some weeks awaiting
start of construction.
Until such time as a steel water
tower is more readily available,
water pressure will be maintained in
the lines by means of a 5,000-gallon
pressure tank to be installed in the
southwest part of the village. Its
action will be similar to the pres
sure tank on small individual pres
sure systems such as are used to
supply water to homes and stores.
The air confined above the water in
the tank will furnish constant pres
sure to the whole village.
The big pressure tank has not yet
been received but is expected to ar
rive by the time it is needed, prob
ably in 60 days.
An eight-inch well already is
drilled in the school grounds park
and it is here that a 14 by 24-foot
building is to be constructed to
house the pumps and aerating equip
ment.

In Memoriam
In memory of Henry Trippiehorn,
who passed on five years ago, July
31, 1942.
Time speeds on, five years have
passed,
Since death its gloom, its shadow’s
cast.
Within our home where all seemed
bright, i
It took from us a shining light.
We miss that light and always will,
His vacant place there is none can
fill.
Down here we mourn, but not in
vain,
For up in Heaven we shall meet
again.
Sadly missed by W’ife and children.
