BASIL MEEK, 93 YEARS OLD, SON OF EARLY RICHMOND PIONEER, TELLS HIS FAMILY STORY
RUBBER INDUSTRIES END READJUSTMENT TO RESUME SLOWLY
. fBy Associated Press AKRON. O., Aug. 23. Akron the rubber city of the world, gradually is lifting its head out of the business stagnation that has enveloped it for the
last year, a survey shows. Few industrial cities have been hit harder than Akron by the post-war depression. Almost in a twinkling it had fallen from a city where workers pay enveopes were stuffed to overflowing, to a town where jobs were at a premium, and pounding the pavements for days sometimes failed to turn one up. Workers left Akron in numbers. It was an exodus. The vast rubber factories seemed strangely still after the feverish activity of war days. Readjustment Compete. The inertia is being thrown off now. p.nd the rubber industry of Akron, where 40 per cent of the rubber goods
of the word, and 63 per cent of the
world's tires are manufactured, practi callv has completed its readjustment
and is operating at the peak for th
year, according to the most reliable
men in the industry.
Resumption of industry finds the high wages of war days a thing of the past. While skilled tire builders and
finishers still make $6 and $7 a day, the hirlngln rate for labor in some of the factories has dropped to 30 cents an hour, and for women has gone as low as 25 cents an hour. Tire builders and finishers are taken on for the probation period at from 63 to SO cents an hour. At the present time, the city is producing at the rate of 75.000 tires a day, which is three times the production registered at the opening of the year, and is equal to the production in 101S, and within 75 per cent of the peak of last year, s-aid to have been the largest in the history of the industry.
Basil Meek, of Fremont, Ohio, who; was unable to attend the picnic of the; Old Settlers' association at Jackson park last Saturday, sent the following letter to Walter McConaha, which was read: "About the middle of the first decade of 1800, probably about 1806, John Meek, wife and five children came from Henry county, Ky., and settled on premises which are now within the city of Richmond. Here he continued to live until after the death of his wife, in the later twenties of 1800, when he went to Newcastle, Henry county, and in 1S7 he married Salina Stevenson. "In 1832 he, with his wife and two children born in Newcastle, returned to Wayne county, locating on a farm three miles south of Centerville, where he continued to reside until 1841, when he moved to Owen county, where he died in 1849. Father of 15 Children "He had born to him of two mar
riages la children, nine by the first
and six by the other. I was born in
Newcastle, April 20, 1829, the oldest
of the last marriage, and am now the
only Survivor of his children and "now

"In ISOo John Meek entered the quarter section, 160 acres of land, on which Richmond, north of Main street well toward the west part, now stand i. In 1811 a patent deed was issued by James Madison, president to Jeremiah Cox, to whom the certificate of entry had been assigned. Cox, with Smith, who owned land adjoining, parts of
his and parts of Smith's, . made the first plat of lots in Richmond. Locate Near Richmond "About the time John Meek came to Wayne county, his brothers, Basil Meek. Joshua and Jeremiah, and sister, Rachel, wife of Hugh Cull, also came from Henry county, Ky., all excepting Basil locating in or within the vicinity of what is now Richmond. Basil went to Hancock county. Jeremiah was one of the first board of county judges and a member of the
convention at Corydon in 1816 that formed the first constitution of the state. Hugh Cull also was a member of that body. In 1S27 Jeremiah went to Hancock county, where he was also county judge. He platted the east, or old part, of Greenfield. Joshua Meek and Hugh Cull located on opposite sides of Elkhorn creek, a few miles south of Richmond, where they lived until their death. Hugh Cull lived to be 104 years of age. There was a Jacob Meek, a cousin
I believe, of the Meeks, who, in an early day, with a son named Jeremiah, lived two miles south of Richmond. He had a grandson also named Jeremiah L. - The four brothers with the sister Rachel were all born in the colony of Maryland, near what is now Ellicott City. Basil about 1770; John, 1772.; Joshua, 1776; Jeremiah, 1778. and Rachel 1780. As will be seen Basil and John were born prior, to the declaration of independence, the others dur
ing the American revolution. They all settled in Kentucky about 1790, going from Pennsylvania, where they had lived since about 1780, moving there from Maryland about that date. When John Meek married his first wife in 1792. Washington was serving his first term as president and when his two first children were born, William in 1793, and Joseph in 1795, Washington was serving his second term. When John Meek and his brothers and sisters mentioned, were born, this country comprised 13 colonies with a population of about three millions confined to the Atlantic seaboard; it now has 48 states with a population of 100 millions and more, occupying the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. All this marvelous progress being within the joint
I lifetimes, 149 years, of two persons, father and son, the latter now living.

25,000,000 children are In the schools
of the United States. The attendance
is compulsory; no fundamental educational problem is greater than the safety of these children. Fire Drills Important. Fire losses in schools in Indiana during the years 191S, 1919 and 1920 amounted to $348,735.00. Fire drills are extremely important and should be held at least twice a month, but perfection of drilling is of little value if fire exits are omitted
or improperly designed, or it aoors are locked or do not open outward. All doors to school buildings should open outward and should be equipped with panic release bar latches. The janitor is an important factor in the .prevention of fires and should be made thoroughly acquainted with the vital need for careful housekeeping. It would be productive of beneficial results if school principals or boards of education would supply janitors with a short but comprehensive notice concerning fire hazards with a view to
enhancing the safety of pupil3. What the country needs is national team work in fighting the fire waste. Our schools have a double responsibility and opportunity in the premises; first to put their ojvn houses in order, and second, to yield a powerful educational influence. The education of the public in matters of fire prevention is the most important step that can be taken toward limiting the loss of life and property by fire. If within the next year the teaching of fire prevention were incorporated in the courses of all schools and colleges
in the Lnited States, it is safe to predict that the effect upon the fire waste would be very great. Some Btates al
ready require that a certain amount of time be devoted each month to the
stuay or fire prevention in grammer
schools. This should be required in
I the upper grades of grammer schools

STATE CLUB LEADERn
ASKS SUPPORT FOR CLOTHING CAMPAIGN Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, president of
the Indiana Federation , of Clubs, makes an appeal.-, to the women, of
Richmond on Aug. 30 in behalf of the campaign for used clothing for stricken Armenia. "Indiana women who have so nobly stood stanch to the many calls for assistance that have' grown out of the world war, cannot turn a deaf ear to this cry of distress from the orphans and refugees of the Bible lands. Hundreds of tons of clothing will be needed this winter to clothe the shivering bodies of a people suffering through no fault of their own. - "Thousands of little children will be in rags or without a shred of clothing unless the women of our country come to the rescue. Thousands of families in Armenia were driven from their homes during the war and there is no way for them to get clothes. "Most trunks and wardrobes In In
diana have some garment that has been cast aside or is being saved for sentimental reasons. Bundle them up and give them to this worthy cause. Put in some little touches of color, for the children of the Bible lands are color starved.. This clothing cam
paign, like all campaigns for philanthropic purposes, must have the support and co-operation of the entire
community if it is to succeed.

FINALLY BUILD ROAD. ' CHARDON. Ohio,. Aug. 28. Eight years ago Montville township sold $3.".O0O worth of bond3 to build two miles of improved road. The isolation of the township kept contractors from building. Then came the war, and the money remained in bank until this summer, when the township trustees, unaided by state or county officials, located a contractor in Youngstown, who is building the road. The community will hold a jollification when the road is completed.
phasized by pictures and mottoes
Knowledge is the basis of all intelligent action, and where proper protection is afforded the knowledge of the children as to the value of fire doors, fire walls, automatic sprinklers and a properly executed fire drill will do much toward preventing panic. Let each and every citizen of the state use. their endeavors to reduce the awful fire waste which visits our state and nation each year.

This responsibility rests upon every school official, including the teachers. If you are a member of a school
