...hills of Brown, Monroe, Morgan, Orange and many other counties compare quite favorably with the Berkshires and Litchfields and each autumn are visited by thousands who come from Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and even more distant points to enjoy their color and beauty. We are rapidly developing a State park system that may be second to none. You'd enjoy Clifty Falls, Dunes, Brown County and Spring Mill parks...
West Virginia, Ohio. Thousands of families from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati fled to the hills before the advancing Ohio River flood crest. At Wheeling, W. Va. water reached 15 ft. on the main streets. The ten-mile residential island in midriver was totally submerged. Police ferried 6,000 citizens in rowboats to dry land. Thirteen people were drowned, four killed when a gas explosion blew their house to bits. Surging through the streets of West Virginia and Ohio towns on either bank, the crest rolled on toward Cincinnati and Louisville. But most downstream Ohio River cities, forewarned, experienced and well fortified...
Last week, with an anglicized version of Wagner's Die Meistersinger, the Cincinnati Symphony ended its first season's attempt at presenting grand opera as a part of its regular schedule. Four Wagner operas had been given in all. Singers had been imported for principal roles. A group of local choristers had gladly sung for nothing.

Soprano Gorman piped prettily as the ingenuous young heroine. But in spite of Eugene Goossens' deft conducting, there was many a time when it was impossible to hear her over the big Wagner orchestra. Generous Cincinnati critics credited her with having made a promising start in opera. Newshawks made much of the facts that she had once won a bathing beauty contest (in 1929), when she was a high-school student in Bessemer, Mich., that she had twice been invited to join the Follies. Such publicity found little favor with the Gorman family which comes from proud old Gloucester...
Bishop of New Jersey since 1915 has been Rt. Rev. Paul Matthews, portly, white-crowned High Churchman, onetime Dean of the Cathedral in Cincinnati, into whose Procter (Ivory Soap) family he married. Currently Bishop Matthews is engrossed with a slowly rising, million-dollar cathedral of his own, to which Trenton's bridge-building Roeblings have been generous. Nearing 70, Bishop Matthews has indicated a wish to retire. The man who has served as his Bishop Coadjutor, Albion Williamson Knight, retired last autumn because of his years (76). Offered this post with the right of succession, Manhattan...
