West Uplands Described By Nelsonville Minister

The Rev. John Hannahs, visiting Nelsonville, spoke to the Rotary Club at Ethel's Tea Room about life in the western states. He contrasted sparse Mountain West towns with Ohio, noted Montana and Wyoming growth, wealth from oil and dry farming, high education, low juvenile delinquency, and long-distance water access, and shared anecdotes of cattle ranges and Powells football crowds. He also cited Wyoming gasoline at 35.2 cents per gallon and vehicle plates at 48.50, and commented on youth leaving or remaining in the region.
