The following was taken from the November 1, 1935 issue of the New Castle News: Quake Hits District New Castle Aroused By Tremors At 1:08 A. M. Shock Extends For About 45 Seconds At 1:08 O'Clock This Morning No Serious Damage Here Many Buildings Are Affected - Some People Leave Apartments In Alarm Buildings vibrated noticeably, doors swayed, windows and dishes rattled, and beds were shaken, at 1:08 a.m. today, when a slight earthquake shock occurred in New Castle and Lawrence county. No damage of a serious nature has been reported as a result of the quake, however. The tremor lasted for about 45 seconds. Marion J. Young, sergeant of police, was one of the first to notice the tremor. He said the wondows and doors at police headquarters rattled and swayed and within a few moments telephone calls poured into his office. Some people suspected burglars were in their homes and others believed an explosion had occurred. Mayor Feels Shock Mayor Charles B. Mayne said the building in which he has an apartment swayed and his bed "wig waggled." The mayor also declared that he could hear chains on one of the doors in another apartment rattle and he arose to see what was wrong. He gazed out of the window onto the Public Square but could see no damage. Patrolman Robert Dukes said that he was told by a man who was in the Johnson building that the building rocked. Reports sent to the police station from the Relief office said pictures on the walls swayed to and fro. A cigarette lighter in a South Mill street restaurant rocked for some time from the shock. Calls from rural sections were received at the city police station, according to Sergeant Young. The report said that they had felt a shock. The tremor was felt throughout the country districst but so far as is known no damage was done in the city or county. >From all over the district similar reports of the quake are being received this morning, and press reports show that the shock was general all over the Eastern United States and parts of Canada. In a number of buildings in New Castle, occupants who were aroused by the quake shock left the structures because of the fear that a worse quake would follow and that real damage would be done.

Today beer in tin cans is an actuality and the glass bottle is giving way to the tin can. Every month sees new breweries putting up their product in tin, thus saving storage space, transportation space, deposits and half a dozen other things. With every new brewery putting their beer in tin cans comes an increase in the tin plate business and the Shenango plant of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company is getting a lot of orders for plate for such tin cans. Several months ago there were but two or three breweries using the tin can for their beer. Today there are many standard beers being put out in tin cans. In the office of D. S. Pyle, general manager of the Shenango Works, is a collection of sample cans of the various breweries that are now using cans. Shenango is working fifteen turns next week, which is near capacity. Much of the plate to be turned out is tin plate for cans which will be used for beer and ale.
