The following reports are taken from
The Calhoun Chronicle archives:
If the various airship clubs are successful this year, sky
sailing will be regulated by statute. Navigators of balloons and aeroplanes will
be forced to qualify in meteorology, chart making, air currents, expansion of
gases, rules of the road, and cloud dodging.
The endowment of chairs in leading universities may soon be
confidently expected, and the B.A. degree will stand for proficiency in
aeronautics, as well as in the arts. The proposed law will also declare a
perpetual closed season for balloon shooting, and every ascension is to be
recorded so that relatives and friends may be assisted in their search for their
loved one’s remains.
Calhoun is one of only 13 West Virginia counties which has a 100
percent rating for library service, according to a newly published report by the
state library commission.
Residents of Calhoun have enjoyed excellent library service since 1950. Alpha
region stands out with distinction as one of the few in the state with this
highest rating. The state as a whole is rated as 51 percent of the population
with no library service whatsoever.
Employees at Cabot Compressing Station were told by executives
of Cabot Corp. that the station will cease operations around May 1. Seventeen
employees will be affected. Gary Campbell, manager of Cabot Station, said that
the employees will be reassigned.
