Mariemont Enters National Register of Historic Places - Hurrah!!
On July 24 Mariemont was officially entered i nto The National Register of Historic Places, becoming one of '1 handful of communities in the country to warrant such designation. The basis for the recognition lies in the fact th::it Mariemont is one of the first planned communities. "I think it's great that the village of Mariemont has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic District" said Congressman Bill Gradison in a statement to The Town Crier. "The citizens of Mariemont who pushed so hard for the designation deserve the credit for the achievement. It was only through their civic pride and dedicated et forts that the community envisioned ;md created by Mary Emery will be preserved ' fnr the enioyment of future generation."
Congressman Gradison had been very supportive of
Mariemont efforts to receive designation
The drive for official designation started four years ago when Helen Cantrell, as chairman of the Citizens Committee for Relocation, contacted the Miami Purchase Associat ion to see if Mariemont was eligible and what benefits would derive from such a designation. After some communication with Fred Mitchell of M.P.A., Helen turned the matter over to Dottie Heuck, first president of the Mariemont Village Assembly. Early in 1976 Dottie set up a meeting at the Ferris House with a number of interested people ancl Mr. Mitchell from that time, the Village Assembly shouldered the burden of obtaining designation. The hope was expressed then that historic designation could be obtained fo.r the Bicentennial i n July of that y~ar.

Listing also provides a "measure of protection from demolition or other negative impact by •fe derally funded or licensed projects through comment by the ad~ vis or y Council on Histonc Preservation on the effect of s uch projects on historic properties" according to a fact i;heet from M.P.A.
Listing does not prevent the ownerr from remodeling, repairing, altering, selling or even demolition of a building with other than federal funds It doesn't even JTiean. a homeowner must keep his property in rep air. It does not prevent the use o f city or
state funds for demolition or other adverse affect to a property listed on the Register, nor does it provide assurance that federal project planners will always be able to avoid adverse impacts upon listed prop erti es; it o nl y assure s a federalal l!vel review of projects which may have an adverse effect.
As one resident wh<, has been involved in the designation observed, "The National Registration recog nizes the great . achievement by Mary Emery• and those who followed her.

Thi s segement of our citizens, approximate! y onefourt11 of the entire residents of the Village, are involved in a variety of activities. First, and foremo st. is the outreach program exte nded to those citizens who are in their involvement in and with ·the community.

The social conscience of the voter s was readi l y apparent with their support of the recent levy, of which the major pnrtion was to be used bv the MariElde , s .

A Man to Remember
Longtime Mariemont residents will certainly recognize the name of Thomas Hogan Jr. Even newcomers to the Village may find it has a familiar sound. Chances are you ' ve noticed it on the Mary M. Emer y Memorial at the 1 own Center. This monument was erected by the Board of Trustees ,gf the Thoma s J. Emery Memorial. Thomas Hol!an was the first Secretary-Treasurer of thi; Board. A portrait of Mr. Hogan hangs in the Municipal Building. He remained interested in the affairs of Mariemont until his death at age 89 in 1975 His son.Thomas· Hogan III, has provided the Town Crier with some recollections of his fathe r. Thoma s Hogan Jr., was born in 1885 in Kentucky. He went to work for Thomas Emery's Sons in 1902 as an errand boy. He worked in their offices in downtown Cincinn ati and walked across the bridge each day to work
He worked and received promotions, eventually becoming a sort of right-hand man toJ Mrs. Emery. ·Marie mont began to play a large part in these interests in th" 1920's and there was much to do in coordinating efforts between all parts of the Mariemont Company of .vhich he was made Secret ary in 1923.

Each year Mrs. Emery would leasve for her Rh ode Jslancl home Mariemont, and take her staff and their families with her in a private rail car. Mr Hogan had married in 1912 and he and his wife had a son and d:mghter who went with them on this annual journey. Thomas Hogan III remembers the excitement of these , yearly train rides . -While in Rhode Island, the Hogans would stay at Seacroft , one of the homes owned by Mrs. Emery near Mariemont He recalls the beauty ,and the way of life at the Emery home as something that would be hard for us to imagine today. The estate had lavish gardens of flowers and vegetables. The Hogan children would be taken to see Mrs. Emery His fat her always _ found her a fair and honorable oerson. rlaving been associatedwith the Village of Mariemont through his father over the years; it was only natural that Thomas Hogan Ill should look here for an apartfuent ,when he got out of the army .in "1 945.
The grow i ng si ze of their family soon ' round the Hogans ready for a 0 house and they moved to Wooster Pike where they raised three sons , Richard, Donald, anc_l Roger. Roger can claim the distinction of being one of the few residents to have been born and raised entirely in Mariemont. For 34 years, Mr. Hogan has been with the U.S. P laying Card Company. He is an office manager for Export Sales. After the death of his wife several ye ars ago, Mr. Hogan decided to return to apartment living. He rt.:.lizes now more than ever the beauty and advantages of this village that his father's efforts helped to create. His father's legacy is one that we all share
AFUN WAYTOGO
There are two things that bug me - having someone say "I told you so!" and having to "eat my words" (even if they are low in calories). Whenever someone mentioned traveling by recreational vehicle I promptly said "no way". When I would see a car pulling one of those big trailers it always reminded me of the nursery rhyme - "leave them alone and they'll come home wagging their tails behind ihem." I couldn't even cone~: ;,, e of this method of travel for me. It looked awkward, difficult and dangerous.
Then one day I thought about Mariemont friends who have found this method of travel very satisfying and enjoyable I certainly consirlered Mary Jane and Wes Schafer, Mcree and Bob Martin, and Margaret and Fred Juergens very intelligent people and they all said they loved it. I began to reason that there must be a lot more to it than I was aware of because all of these people spoke enthusiastically about their trailers as being home away from home.
Six years ago while Wendell and I were staying in a motel in Cape Haters and Wally and family were staying at the Ramada Inn Campground, we began to see firsthand the advantages of trailer living. Ironically, at the same time we began to realize that even though we had always stayed in leading chain motels or hotels, the standards of cleanlines s and service were certainly beginning to deteriorate. The price you pay for rooms or the cost of the meal bares no relationship to what was received.Another thing that 'impre ssed us was the friendliness of other campers and their h onesty . One man told us that he had bt-:11 camping for twenty-two-5'ears and had never mi ss ed a thing - even when he left it ou t on the
picnic table overnight. Can you imagine striking up a conversation with other hotel guests? They probably would put you down as some kind of a "nut" or a "conartist". People stay strictly to themselves at such places.
It was at the end of that vacation that we invested in out first trailer - a 24' Argosy (made by Airstream). Then in the fall of 1977, anticipating retirement the next year we traded in the 24' footer for a 27' fully contained Argosy, and it has been the joy of our life. Last year we travelled over 12,000 miles in it.
In July Wally and his family and Wen dell and I went to Canada, sometimes staying in the Provencial Parks and enjoying the magnificent Canadian Rockie s. Once we camped 1 ½ miles above Banff and took daily trips ~ust by car to Lake L ou ise, the Columbia Ice Glaciers, etc. One day while I was preparing breakfast in the trailer a deer walked pa st my kitchen window, look in the window and non-ch alantl y meandered into the wood s. I could never have experienced this thrill from a mot el window .
Last June we decided to trave l along the length of the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, staying in campgrounds along the route. As a rule when I W<' S Village Secretary I waited until after the swimming pool closed in early September to take my vacation. So, we had never been able to see the mountain laurel or the rhododendron in bloom. What a wonderful experience this was. The rhododendron in blo0m at Craggy Gardens
is a sight everyone should gee to see.
This year we have completed a 5500 mile trip down to south Texas, ~round the Texas Gulf Coast and up to Phoenix, then returning through Oklahoma into Tennessee and on home.
With the help of the traveler's 'Bible' - Woodall's Campground Directory, we have been able to select our campgrounds · in advance. The ratings are indicate d from 1 star to 5 stars and they do an excellent job of directing you from the Interstate of a State Route. You may even have noticed the new pictorial signs now at the exit points on the interstate indicating whether there is camping to be had at that exit. On this most recent trip we were fortunate ,enough to have a full- hookup (water, electric and sewer) at each camosight. Perhaps some people will say it is not the cheapest way to go. True, there is the original investment in the trailer and a sufficiently heavy car or truck to pull it, plus insurance and storage charges when not on the road
constantly rising prices of hotel or motel rooms, meals in restaurants, tipping and a fancier wardrobe. Based on prices we have just experienced, a famil of four can

In some of the rural campgrounds, children can enjoy the woods and pasture lands which they could never experience in any other mode of travel.
Yes, I have got the bug. I like living this way. I like the ease of travel - being able to pull into a rest area and taking food and drinks from the refrigerator and preparing the noon meal , and if I am a little tired being able to rest on a twin bed before continuing the journey. Added to this we are never far away from the news because we get it on our radio and enjoy the T V after we are set up for the night. Could we ask for more? I think not. Wendell reminded me our first time out how nice it was for him not to have to lug all the suitcases into the hotel ·every night and out again in the mornin g If you think this isn't a growing method of tra veljng - next time you are on the Interstate start reading the Cont'd on pg. 13
March/or MariE/ders
The first annual "March for MariElders", to be held Sunday, October 14th, will be your opportunity to "step in" and do your part to help ~upport this very worthwhile com munity organization. "March for MariElders" is an all-community walk-athon in which all walkers will be given sponsor sheets and asked to collect pledges for the distance that they walk. Eve ryone will begin at the ~w,mming Pool picnic grounds anytime after I :00 on October 14th. After registering there, each walker will have a choice of one of three route s: (1) a 10 - block route, (2) a 10 - kilometer ,i;oute (approximately 6 .25 miles), or (3) a 10 mile route. Checkpoints along each route will give walkers a c hance to "rest up" and have a cool drink, as well a s prove to sponsors that the entire route was completed
At 6:30 an award ceremony will be held . to give recognition and prizes to our outstanding walkers and to those who collected the mo s t money in pledges. We need the entire community - all ages! Why not consider making this a family project? There are more details, including a sponsor sheet, in this edition of the Town Crier.

Hail to the Outgoing
The phrase "salt of the earth" could have been coined to de scr ibe Bill and Florence Brockman. The retlm,g business manager for the Town Crier has worked long and hard for three years to keep the community paper a going concern.
Back in March, 1976, when Bill took over the business re ins , the Town Crier was only four pages long and had 16 ads. Under hi s guidance, it has grown to a 12 page paper with an all-time high of 60 ads. The Town Crier and its readers certainly owe the Brockman s a big debt of gratitude.
Bill and Florence retired simultaneously in 1967, he from the Provident Bank and s he from the position of executive secretary with Country Day. Since then Bill has been acti'<'e with ihe Town Cner and spenas five days a month with the Hamilton County Welfare Department in the food stamp program. Florence has made her mark on the golf course and in the swimming pool, where she acheived the mark of s wimming 50 miles a few years ago
The Town Crier will miss Bill and Florence but feels luck y for the happy association of the la s t three vears.

Floating down the Mississippi and paddlewheeling up the Ohio provi d ed a highly successful trip for three school teachers and a nurse from Mariemont.
The Delta Queen offered the trip from St. Louis to Cinci n nati to the Historical Society and the Teachers' Association. Dorothy Jackson arranged the trip for herself, Vinnie Ader, Ginny Adams, and Winnie Miller. The trip took a week with stops at Cape Girardeau, Paducah, a bus trip to New Harmony, Indiana , and a tour of Madison, Indiana. All of these were interesting
The weather at home from July 27 until August 3 was miserable but the Queen enjoyed balmy sunny weather the entire week. The food was superb, the music and entertainment were excellent. The pa ssengers, who had come from all over the country, agreed the time was well spent, even those who had repeated the trip several times.
It so happened the Mississippi Queen was coming down the river as the Delta Queen was ch ugging upstream. They tied up and exchanged passei:igers for a tour of the other boat. Most agreed the river boat tradition a nd the atmosphere of the Delta Queen made it the more desirable cruise.
Forty some people from the Mt. Wa s hington area took the boat on the return trip to St. Loui s from August 3 to August 10. They thought their trip must have been better but the Mariemonters refused to agree.

An Editorial
Two years ago there was held a series of five meetings in communities ; affected by this traffic. The County Commissioners came, the county engineers office and the Ohio Department of Tran sportati on were repr esented, the League of Women and a lot of citizen had a chance to s peak their piece. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Count y Commissioners decided that a study should be done of the traffic in eastern Hamilton County. There was much rejoicing among those who wanted a new road for they thou ght surely the justice of their cause would be seen.
Now, two years ha ve passed. The Little Miami River seems assured of receiving a federal scenic designation and Mariemo nt has been entered on the National Register of Historic Places, giving both some measure of protection. So what will happen to the transportation?
Enter a government agency called the Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Gov e rnment , who in their wisdom, have embarked upon study by compiling a procedural framework This procedural famework . This
framework begins by saying, "The Eastern Corridor Transportation Study address es a situation that engenders a degree of emot i on and controver sy unparalleled in this region. A well conceived and agreedupon proce ss, coupled wi t h sound and thorough technical information are essential minimal criteria for study success."
The study recommends that two committees be formed :a citizen ·advisory committee which includes one representative and one alternate from and by the membership of each geographic-based community group, each agricultural, recreational, or conservation group, or other special interest group that is place-based within the study area; and one representative and one alternate selected from and by the member sh ip of each organization that while being headquarter ed outside the study area has a particular interest in the solution ofl the transportation problem, or has a particula r concern within the study area
The other would be a technical coordinating committe e - one representative and one alternate appointed
