Council Will OK
Purchase OF Fire
Truck Sept. 3
Committee Recommends
Contract Be Awarded
American Fire Company

The Caldwell council, at their
regular meeting to be held Tuesday
evening, September 3, will offic.
tally complete all transactions, rela-
tive to the purchase of a new fire
truck and equipment, for use here
and the surrounding communities.
Several months ago the council
appointed Edw. L. Merry, D. L. Har-
kins, L. E. Potts, Glen McFerren and
John D. Wheeler as committee to
check all fire truck proposals and
| according to their minutes on file,
the recommendation of this commit
tee would be final.
Actual purchase of the new fire
truck will be made by the council.
At special meeting of the coun-
Gil, and the fire truck committee
Friday evening in the City Hall, the
sealed bids received for the fire
truck were opened and discussed.
Attorney L. c. Young, who had been
retained by the council, as their
legal advisor, was also present.
The committee recommended to
the council that they accept the bid
of the American Fire Apparatus
company, with headquarters in Col
umbus.
Final action, will of course be
taken by the council, when they
hold their regular meeting next
week.
Purchase of the new truck and
equipment is being financed by the
$4,000 bond issue, which the voters
of Caldwell passed over -whelmingly
in the May primary.
Following the signing of the con-
tract, delivery of the new truck has
been promised within ninety work
ing days.
Mounted on a Ford chassis, which
will be purchased locally, the new
truck will be front, geared up
pump type. 1t will have many new
and added features, including a 400
gallon booster tank for use in rural
communities, should there be a
scarcity of water, and a portable
light plant
The portable light plant can be
used in many ways, including emer-
gency lighting for Caldwell, should
the current ever fail here.
The truck will be designed in
every detail to fit the immediate
needs in Caldwell and community
The fire department here is now
headed by Glen McFerren, who is
serving as chief.
A meeting of reorganization is
being planned for the near future,
with new and additional strict by
laws and rules being drawn up.
Now that the preliminary work
has been cleared away, the new
fire truck should become a reality
in the near future.

Greetings" Back
Again As Draft OF
Men Is Resumed
Local Draft Board
Waiting On New
Quota For September

Those presidential greetings
are in the mails again.
Shutdown for two months, the
draft machinery is chugging back
into action.
Reception center lines will begin
to form next week. And by the
end of September, selective service
is reasonably confident it will meet
the army's quota of $4,000 men in
the 1929 age group.
Noble county draft board Off
cials aren't so confident. Richard
F. Hanes, clerk of the local board,
stated today that the quota for
September had not yet been re-
ceived for Noble county but that
every effort would be made to fill
it. Exemptions galore confuse the
situation.
In June, while the whole future
of the draft was up in the air, on
ly 6400 men were inducted. There
were no teen-agers among them.
Congress finally. compromised on
that issue by exempting 18-year-
olds, but specifying those 10 were
to be drafted.
During the July-August holiday
when the war department asked
no inductions, local boards have
registering and classifying men be-
tween 18 and A under instructions
from Major General Lewis B. Her
shey, national director, to limit de-
ferments to individuals in activi-
ties indispensable" to the nation
al existence.
Four new categories have just
been added to the list of those en-
titled to ''most serious considera-
ton" for occupational deferments.
They are college and university
teachers, home construction work
ers, critical production and trans
portation workers.
Previously, the Caldwell board
was authorized to consider defer
ments only for students in medi-
cine, dentistry, veterinary medicine
and osteopathy and for certain
teachers and research workers in
physical sciences and engineering.
Fathers, certain categories of
veterans and essential agricultural
workers are deferred by law.
Eighteen-year- must register
but are not subject to induction
until they reach 10.
The local draft board is now
geared up waiting for the Septem-
Der call, which is expected to be |
small.

Business in general will be sus-
pended in Caldwell and community
next Monday, September 2, when

county fair and again on Monday for
Labor Day. 1t will be the last fling
for many this summer and the last
official holiday until Thanksgiving

that mattress cover had been torn
in strips and knotted together
obviously to be used to gain access
to the ground from the second floor.
Part of the mattress cover was
wrapped around a long piece of
wood, but Sheriff Mckee wasn't
quite sure how this was to have
been used. The cloth would have
served to deaden the sound of dig
ging the bricks loose.
In order to avert similar attempts
to escape from the Jail, Sheriff Nc
Kee will ask that the two air vents
in the Jail be cemented.
Hill has been in the Noble county
jail since June %, when he was
charged with the theft of an auto
mobile from a salesman in Woods
field by the name of Landefeld He
was later indicted by a special
grand jury and on Saturday, Aug
"a entered a plea of guilty before
Judge L. B. Frazier. He received a
sentence of one to ten years.
Edgar Fenton was arrested Aug
ust 10 for the theft of a machine
owned by Lawrence Kuhn of near
Carlisle. He likewise was indicted
by the grand jury, entered plea of
guilty and received the same SEN
tence as Hill.
Sheriff Mckee said that both men
were probably implicated in their
attempt to escape from the jail.
There have been no other prison
ers in the county jail, since Hill and
Fenton were removed to the pen
itentiary one week ago.

Belle Valley Not
Affected RY 1883"

The old law of 1888, which pro-
hibits the sale of intoxicating liquor
within two miles of a county or
fair, while it is in progress, will not
affect Belle Valley.
Located a good three miles from
the Noble county fairgrounds, the
tavern owners in that community,
are preparing for a complete sellout
during the Noble county fair.
At practically all other fairs, the
sale of liquor is being prohibited,
dependent on the ruling of the local
law enforcing officials in each case.
This will hold true at the Mari
eta fair next week, where officials
will comply with the ruling of the
state liquor department.
The state liquor agency in Belle
Valley will remain open.
