FIFTY-NINTH YEAR NO. 28 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY JUNE 12,1936 f c PRICE, $ 1.60 A TEAR NEWSLETTER FROMSTATE DEPARTMENTS COLUMBUS. — The original and . now historic Constitution o f the State o f Ohio will be saved fo r future gen­ erations o f coming centuries as a re­ sult o f a special re-conditioning that was given it by Dr. William D. Over­ man, curator o f history and archivist o f the Ohio State Archaeological ai\d Historical Society museum, and Wil­ liam McKinley assistant reference libarian for the society who has charge o f preserving historical docu­ ments. The re-conditioning was done in a locked office adjacent to the pri­ vate office o f Secretary o f State George S. Myers. 'The Secretary o f State is. customdian o f the original Constitution and must guard it at periol o f his life, if necessary. The re-conditioning was the same process used by the Library o f Congress at Washington. It included the pressing o f a special fine silk mesh, imported from France, which is one o f the only two countries in the world where it is made, on both sides o f each of the fourteen pages of finely written longhand making up the Constitution o f Ohio as adopted in 1802. Two copies on rag paper will be made under the direction of Dr. Overman, one o f which will be exhibited at the museum and the other at the Secre­ tary o f State’s office. Dr. Ovenjnan said that the original document “ was exceptionally well preserved for its age and is now in extremely, good condition.’ ! The silk mesh used in the ' re-conditioning is almost invisible duo to the pressure process used as well as to the color o f the mesh which blended with'the color o f the pages o f the Constitution. .

Dial System For Yellow Springs The Yellow Springs telephone sys­ tem will be changed to dial operation during the -spring o f next year, it was announced today b y H. W. Cleaver, o f Xenia, the company’s commercial. manager in charge o f this exchange.- ~ C o s to f theproject wiHapproximate , 170,000. This will include a new build-1 ing to house the dial central office equipment. Cost o f the building, the lot on which it will stend, and the equipment will total $38,000. New in­ struments wil 1 cost $8,000; $21,000 will be spent in preparing the outside plant -for the change; and $3,000 will be required for other expenses. The new building will be erected on - a .lot at Glenn street, .Yellow Springs; Ohio, purchased by the Ohio Bell from Edward and Helen Carlisle. It will be a one-story brick structure, 22 feet by 30 feet in dimensions, the 80 feet being the width o f the front. , “ One o f the most important phases o f tho program Will be changing o f the Yellow Springs system from magneto to common battery dial operation,” said Manager; Cleaver. “ The crank-ringing type, telephones are used under the community’s' pre­ sent system. Common battery opera­ tion will make/ availab& the more modern type o f telephones used in the arger communities.” • Clifton’s telephone system will be in­ cluded in the change to dial operation, with the Clifton telephones being operatedfrom the Yellow Springs dial equipment. The connection will be made through a cable which the com­ pany will place between the two com­ munities. “ Clifton will have separate listings in the telephone directory and also will retain its identity -on long dis­ tance calls from points throeghout the United States,” said- Manager Cleaver. “ By the latter, I mean that i f some­ one in Dayton, Springfield, New York, or Omaha should call a Clifton sub­ scriber, he will not have to ask fo r Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones in Yellow Springs. He will specifically designate Clifton, Ohio, as the community to which his coll Is to ge. The only part Yellow Springs will play is that the call will go through the Yellow Springs equipment. “ Clifton will also benefit in another way. Free service will he furnished both ways between Clifton and Os­ born. There, will also be free service from Cedarville to Clifton. The serv­ ice is already free from Clifton to CedarvSle. Yellow Springs now has free service with Cedarville and Os­ born, and this will he continued. “At present there are 486> tel* phones in Yellow Springs and immedi­ ate vicinity, including 77 in Antiodk College. Clifton and its neighboring territory has 68 telephones, making a total of 618 telephones to he changed' to disl operation," , Establishment o f dial Service will make it necessary to change all of the Yellow Springs and Clifton telephone numbers.
