PAGE rwo WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1949 OGDENSBURG (N. Y.) JOURNAL el ays Action On State's Bid For Power Project Around t* Lawrence County By ALEKO JULIUS— HOWDY FOLKS! Whiling away a few moments by the Black I.flJcp I'-hce the old Dollar home- • 1 \. The ice is rap- kUy darken- ing- and there are parts showing open water. But ( hen, this has been a crazy Winter the like of which comes only once in man's memory. Aleko LiMns Myrtle Zeller, a widow of four years, lives now on what once was part of the Dollar estate.. It has been renamed \Valhalla\. John F. Zeller, an unmarried son of 27, has charge of its 246 acres and 50 head of Swiss Browns, most of which came from the famed Zeller herd near Schenectady. The house itself is one of the old-time, large dwellings with 14-15 rooms, all with high ceil- ings, and ill led! with furniture, Probably a century old We saw some chairs which Myr- tle had been polishing' and scrap- ing-. One of them was plainly marked, \H. F. Millard, Og- densburg-\. We looked tip an old city directory, dated 1869, and found in it the name of Millard listed under furniture dealers. Recently an Itinerant furniture dealer offered Mrs. Zeller a buck a piece, but recanter because on some of them the rattan seat aws missing Luckily for her, she didn't sell them. Those simple, unadorned chairs are good ex- amples of our North Country Americana and belong in a mu- seum. Takes Notice Of Truman's Full Support Vaudeville Stars Here By Fsginald F. Torrey Journal Washington Bureau Washington — The Federal Power Commission today took notice of President Truman's support for a combined St. Law- rence waterway. - hydroelectric power development. It postponed action on the New York State Power Author- ity's petition for a license to de- velop the St. Lawrence lor elec- tric power alone, pending recon- sideration o| the combined pro- ject by Congress, \We are aware,\ FPC said, j \That the President in his mes- sage to Congress on Jan. 5 re- commended approval of the agreement on Mar 19, 1941, be- tween the United States and Canada with regard to the de- velopment of the International Rapids section of the St. Law* rence River, for both power and navigation purposes — and that legislation is being prepared for submission to Congress to carry out the President's recom- mendation.'' The Commission 's action came on a petition of the St. Lawrence project conference, an opponent of the development, asking to reopen the FPC hear- ings on the State Power Author- ity's meve for a license. FPC found the conference was only a \limited participant 1 ' and \has no .standing to peti- tion\ for the reopening. It declared that in view of the \proposed reconsideration\ by Congress of the St. Lawrence deep waterway project, \It would be inconsistent with the public interest to reopen the rec- ord at this time for the taking of further evidence.\ Pictured are this week's star performers at the Strand Vaudeville Show, Friday and Saturday. Bobby Pinkus, right, will serve as masteir of ceremonies for the five-act bill and will be assisted in his gag acts and dance routines by his Avife, Ruth Foster, who won the \Continental Dance Contest\ sponsored by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Morley Personals Morley Mr. and Mrs. John next door neighbor are the McCourts of the \Pine Grove\ farm, They live in an- other of those many-roomed mansions: this one has 12 rooms and has belonged to the family for almost 100 years, Charles McCourt is a silver- haired gentleman and Hattie, his wife, is a matron-like lady with blue-grey eyes and as yet much silver in her hair. not \When my grandfather and his wife bought the farm in 1850,\ said Hattie. \The place was a solid pine forest and the two of them went to work and cleared the land and those old, gnarled pines you see in front of the house have stood there sentin- el-like as a reminder of the days when Indians still roamed the land and sheer brawn and end- less patience were the only good to success.\ Other St. Lawrence Seaway developments today included: recommendation from A. Harma Company, Across the highway. in a smaller house of only \seven rooms live the Perrys. Speaking of brawn, you should see \Pete\ Perry. He looks all muscles. The strange thing abcrat him is that his name isn't at all Peter, but Edmund W. yet everybody knows him as Pete. He's 48, a driller on a State Road crew. He's Irish and once upon a time \vas a carrot top, although the fire is getting out of it now. One look at his lace and one would think that he'd been in a thousand fights and a couple of wars. He hais a vicious scar above his right temple that, from the looks of it, only a knife could have made. His nose is all ascew. He has hands as large as hams and the belt cuts danger- ously into his 266 pounds bulk. And his voice rates a top ser- geant's envy. All of a fighting- Irishman, judging from his looks. ••Nothing to it,\ says Grace, his laughing, pleasant wife, her- self of Scotch-Irish descent. \All that is pure camouflage. Pete has never m his Life been in a fight. All tho^e scars are from boils and carbunkles and he's as gentle as a lamb. He. wouldn't harm no man nor beast.\ » 1 — the^ M. Great Lakes shipping concern, to its stockholders in its annual re- port that \the St. Lawrence Sea- way should be Undertaken im- mediately.\ Haima'S report showed it may spend up to $200 million to de- velop the Labrador and Quebec iron ore deposits which it con- trols. It points out it can carry the ore with its standard ships all the way to steel plants at Erie, Pa., except for the 90 miles of rapids on the St. Law- rence. '•'If these rapids can be made navigable, the ore can be moved economically to the central In- dustrial centers of Canada and the United States,\ the report said. 2 — An announcement in fche Senate, scheduled for today by Senator Alexander Wiley (R- Wis.)

The Per- rys have staying with them a nephew, Richard Lake, age four, with dark brown eyes and man- ners of a real little gentleman. They also have two cats, \Pat\ and \Mutt\. \Pat\ took one look at us, arched his back and sailed onto otfr shoulder and scared us almost silly. Pete gent- ly — mind you, gently ~ lifted the cat off our shoulder and as gently put him down on the floor. We are beginning to believe that yarn about Pete's gentleness with man or beast.
