Red Cross Room
Now Open One Day

Mrs. Walter Douglas, IN charge
of the Red Cross volunteer work in
this county, stated today that the
Red Cross room in the courthouse
would be open only one afternoon
in the future.
This is due to scarcity of yarn
and the lack of interest, since the
war is over. The room will be
open each Saturday afternoon from
200 to 400 o'clock.
If any articles are completed and
the women wish to turn them in
during the week, they may be left
at the Caldwell library.
During the war, the local. Red
Cross did a marvellous job and the
women are to be complimented on
the work accomplished, now that
their Swan song" is being sung.

first 1947 model is now on display.
The new agency will be located

Band Concert Fans
Are Being Censored

The large number who at
tend the concerts of the Cald-
well high school band every
Saturday evening are probably
lovers of good music, etc, but
they were being severly cen
Sored this week for their lack
of patriotism.
At every community gather
ing, large or small, the coun-
try over, any musical program
is always concluded by the
strains of the national anthem.
Last Saturday evening and
every concert night so far this
summer, when the national
anthem is being played, the
patrons, with a few exceptions,
start milling around, going to
their cars, making a break for
the soda fountains, the women
keep talking, the men never
remove their hatS-in short, it
is anything but patriotic.
The only bright spot on the
otherwise darkened horizon is
a soldier here and there, stand
ing rigidly at attention.
On next Saturday night,
each individual attending the
concert, should make it his or
her duty to pause briefly and
regain for moment, at least,
that lost spark of patriotism.

Buyers From Various
Sections Of State
To Attend Opening

Announcement is being made
OF the gigantic opening of Noble
Community Sales, Friday after
noon, June %, at their new
stock yards, one mile north of
Caldwell, in Florence Addition.
Noble county's newest and
much needed enterprise is owned
and under the management of
George Learned, of Senecaville,
Lester Weekley, of Cambridge,
and Joe Secrest, of Senecaville.
The latter will serve as auc-
tiOneer for the sales.
Mr.. Secrest stated today that
buyers from GAINESVILLE, Cambridge,
Akron, and other larger cities
would be in attendance at this first
and subsequent sales.
The new livestock market sales
for Noble county occupies a beau
tiful layout on the Grant Tarleton
lots in Florence addition. The
building is 110 feet long and go
feet wide, with all outside pens.
They have capacity of approx
mately 500 head of cattle. Every
thing in the way of livestock will
be sold at this auction.
The first sale is slated for Friday
afternoon, beginning at 100 o'clock
and continuing until the stock has
been sold.
Noble county farmers are indeed
fortunate in the opening of the
Noble Community Sales and they
are being urged to cooperate and
bring their stock to this market.
Every effort will be made to
build this sale into a big enterprise
for this county, enlarging it to the
extent that not only buyers, but
other stock dealers from surround
ing counties will attend and bring
their stock to Caldwell for market.
This is the first time that live
stock market has ever been held
in Noble county.
Owned and operated by three
men who have an intimate knowl-
edge of cattle and stock, the Com
munity Sales should be successful
from its very beginning.

Belford street, Caldwell.
The new 1947 Studebaker Cham
pion sedan arrived in Caldwell
Tuesday and is now on display at
the sales room on West street.
Lower, wider, and more fully
streamlined than any previous
automotive design, the car bears
the unmistakable stamp of true
postwar products" both in beauty
and performance.
Most apparent result of an en-
gineering program that touched
virtually every part of the chassis
and body is the blended unity of
the new Studebaker design. Fend-
ers have been absorbed into the
body. A judicious application of
curved glass has created FLOW"
of line that commands immediate
admiration.
Convertibles, two and four-door
sedans, business coupes and a fresh
treatment of the five-passenger
coupe, which has been acclaimed as
the most progressive step in auto
motive styling since the advent of
the closed body, will be available,
according to Mr. Pickenpaugh.
Lower and wide bodies, re-en-
gineering weight, distribution that
adds immeasurably to riding safety
and comfort, mechanical advances
that include self-adjusting brakes
and stronger, box-section frames
are among the many highspots of
the new car.

ROAD HEARING
JULY II AT
SENECAVILLE
State Highway Will
Take Over Roads To
Senecaville Lake

Former congressman, Robert T.
SecreSt, announced today that the
willingness of the state highway
department to add to its system
about II miles of secondary roads
in the vicinity of Seneca Lake,
which means that in the very near
future, these roads will be i'm
proved and put in a passable con-
dition.
Secrest stated that a public
hearing relative to Incorporating
the roads in the state system would
be held at the Senecaville high
school, Friday, July II. Very little,
if any opposition is expected, es-
pecially from Noble county far
mers and residents of Caldwell,
who have worked for several years
toward this end.
Hearing on the portion Of the
highways in Guernsey county will
be held at 10 o'clock and on the
Noble county roads at II o'clock.
Six to eight miles of the roads
are located on the north side of
Seneca Lake and cut across Noble
county in two places.
The remaining six miles are on
the south side of the Lake, entirely
located in Noble county, and often
referred to as the proposed sky
line drive. This road passes the
Coen's church, near Mt. Ephraim.
The roads involved have been in
a poor condition for some time and,
as they are means in making the
lake accessible to many Noble
countians, without the need of
their driving to Senecaville, it was
felt that more should be done in
improving and maintaining them.
Secrest pointed out that as state
highways, these roads would re-
ceive the attention they warrant
because of being heavily travelled
and their improvement would help
greatly in speeding up further de-
Velopment of the lake region as
recreational area.
Many are interested in this pro-
ject and it is expected that the
proposed hearing will be attended
by an enthusiastic group from this
county.
