State Highway Will
Spend $72,1OO. On
Seneca Lake Road
Bids Will Be Opened
In Columbus, Sept. "a
For improvements

The state highway department,
Columbus, is wasting little time in
living up to their bargain to repair
the highway leading into Seneca
lake, formerly a secondary road in
the county system and recently
taken over by the state.
According to a notice compiled
by the department of highways,
bids will be opened Tuesday, Sept.
"a, for improvements in Noble
county, on part of section B of the
SenecaVille reservoir road, now
known as state highway No. 999
and state route No. STA, located en-
tirely in Wayne township.
The state proposes to grade, con-
struct drainage structures and
pave this section with traffic COM
pacted surface course. The width
of the pavement will be 16 feet
and the improvement will cover
1.948 miles.
The estimated cost has been set
at $72,1OO.OO and the contract must
be completed by July 81, 1947.
Plans and specifications are on
file in the department of highways
and the office of the resident dis
trict deputy director.
At the same time, the state pro-
poses to improve over eight miles
of road in Guernsey county, which
they added to the state system
along with Noble county, follow
ing a public hearing held at Sen
ecaville several months ago.
At this hearing, Noble countians
felt they were being sighted in
not having a direct route to Seneca
lake. A conference with Governor
Lausche and State Highway Direc-
tor Perry T. Ford followed and
the state will now construct a new
road past Coen's church, eventual
ly linking with state route lat.
BY this time next year, Noble,
as we'll as Washington and Monroe
counties, should have a direct
route to the lake and beach, with
out the necessity of going through
Senecaville.

Miss Esther Patterson of Cam
bridge was the sweetheart" of the
facing fans, Friday afternoon, dur
ing the pony races at the Noble
county fair.
Over 25 ponys were at the grounds
for the racing program and accord
ing to George Mckee, this number
far exceeded that of any other fair
in this district
In the 43 inches and under Miss
Patterson won the first heat ap-
parently with ease but ran into
trouble on the third and final pay
off heat, when she was thrown from
her pony on the first turn. Dick
Murphy went on to win the purse
This was Miss Patterson's second
fall of the afternoon, in both of
which she escaped without injury.
Miss Patterson and Eddie BreeI, age
10, New Philadelphia, collided when
both their ponys turned to go out
the gate, rather than continue
around the track.
Breel was knocked unconscious
but suffered no broken bones or
bruises. He was treated for shock

Veterans Housing
Program Approved
By Gov. Lausche
Commissioners
Set Up Program
For County Vets

The Noble county commissioners
are in receipt of allotment applica-
ton blanks, from the office of
Treasurer Don H. Ebright, which
were mailed out from Columbus
Immediately after the state veteran
housing program had been given a
fresh jolt by Gov. Lausche's ap-
proval of the $6,000,000 legislation
appropriation.
The state allotment is available
Immediately to Noble county but
speed in actually starting the hous-
ing program will depend upon the
action of the county commissioners
and ability to obtain building
materials.
Since counties must put up an ad-
ditional Is per cent themselves, the
building program will be $4,000, 900.
providing every county takes ad-
vantage of the subsidy. If the money
is not used by the end of l949. it
reverts to the state.
The funds will be released to
Noble county upon application to
the state treasurer and certification
to the auditor of state, according to
the bills provisions. County COM
missioners, however, are given wide
powers in the use of the funds and
must report back to the treasurer
only once every six months.
1t is not believed that the
Noble county commissioners are
prepared as yet to make application
but the opportunity to aid the vet
Grams in this county now rests on
their shoulders.
The housing situation in this
county is not acute, as far as the
veterans are concerned, but it does
exist and there are many veterans
who will wish to benefit from this
new housing program. 1t is partic-
ularily bad in Caldwell and ulti-
mately will mean not only boost
for the veteran but business circles
as well.
According to the housing bill, the
county commissioners are author
lied to acquire facilities needed for
temporary structures supplied by
the federal government. They would
handle rentals and other operations,
returning unused money to the
state on December 81, 1949.
Governor Lausche also approved
four other measures passed by the
recent special legislative session.
Those approved provide for:
Q-A study of tax revenues and
distribution by the research division
of the state tax department.; (2)-
State highway maintenance of the
Pomeroy- Mason bridge when it be-
comes toll-free; (3)-A $15,665 ap-
preparation for a state hospital sur
vey to qualify the state to receive
federal subsidies for hospital sur
pansion; (4)-Temporary suspension
of certain technicalities to permit
World War II veteran physicians to
take the state medical examination.

Pony Races Prove interesting
At The Noble County Fair Friday

at the office of DR.. N. S. Reed in
Caldwell, being removed there in
the Murphy ambulance after the
accident.
In the 48 inches and over class,
Charles Hastings, riding Trigger,
was the winner of the first heat.
Woodrow Mays of New Philadel-
phia, did some superb riding to take
the second heat. In the final heat
between the two winners, Hastings
won the purse by nose.
Miss Patterson went the half mile
in one minute and seven seconds.
Hastings went the course in one
minute and five seconds.
In the free for all stake race,
the Gum brothers of WoodSfield
took the honors, the time being So
seconds.
We might add here that Bill Den
mis- also ran. Dennis got off to a
poor start, came in last and then
went around the track again just
to make sure.
The fans enjoyed every minute of
they pony races and they presented
an interesting program.

Campaign To Start For
New Floral Hall At Fair

A campaign will get under way
among the merchants of Caldwell
in an effort to interest them in at
least partially financing the con-
struction of new floral hall at the
Noble county fairgrounds.
The present floral hall is in a de-
plorable condition and it requires
considerable effort to make any dis
play reasonably attractive.
1t will be suggested to the fair
board that new floral hall be con-
structed near the spot where the
dance pavallion stood this year. It
will have, among other things, much
needed modern rest rooms, as well
as plenty of display space.
The roof of the old floral hall
could remain intact, serving as rest
havens for the weary and the re-
mainder for a dance hall.
Financing of the new floral hall
would, of necessity, be sponsored by
the Caldwell merchants.

Scout Committee
To Hold important
Meeting Tuesday
Plans Will Be Made
For Raising Annual
Council Budget

The Forrest Rose district commit
tee of the Boy Scouts of America
will hold their September meeting
in the court house in Caldwell next
Tuesday evening, Sept. 10, begin
ming at 7:30 o'clock. This will be the
most important meeting of the COM
mittee held this year. The Forrest
Rose district is made up of the en-
tire of Noble county.
Forrest Rose district is one of the
five districts comprising the Zane
Trace Area council with an office in
GAINESVILLE. The other counties are
Muskingum, Perry, Guernsey, and
Morgan.
The first important business mat
ter in this committee meeting will
be the announcement and plans for
the organization of several new
scout units in the district. Already
the air scout squadron sponsored by
the Caldwell Methodist church has
been chartered and meeting as
planned. Dalton Whealdon is the
squadron leader and Billy Semon,
the squadron pilot. Steps have been
taken toward the organization of a
cub scout pack and two new boy
scout troops.
The second item of bushes will
be that of planning to meet the Fol-
rest Rose district share of the Coun.
Gil budget for this year and making
plans for taking care of their share
of this budget for next year.
During the war Noble county's
share of the five county council bud
get was raised through the national
war chest drive of the county. This
year the asking of the war chest for
Boy Scouts was about 100000, how
ever since the war chest did not
meet its goal it is necessary to raise
two years quota.
The Forrest Rose district COM
mittee of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea in their meeting Tuesday eve
ming will try to work out some plan
of raising funds to enable them to
take care of their part of the coun-
Gil budget.
The chairman of Noble County
Boy Scout program is Supt. H. c.
Secrest of the county schools The
finance chairman of the district is
Dalton Whealdon Morrill, Lucas, who
IS the field executive employed by
the Zane Trace Area council will
assist the Forrest Rose district COM
mittee in carrying out their plans.
This is valuable program for the
boys and young men of Noble coun-
ty which trains the boys to be bet
ter men of tomorrow and instills the
finest ideals and character traits
that are possible. Such men as
Eisenhower and Marshall, are liv-
ing examples of what the scouting
program can do for young men.

Famous Turkey Farm
Will Be Strip Mined

The famous FriSbee turkey farm
in Brookfield township, widely
known in this section of the coun-
try, was sold last week to the Ohio
Power Co. and in the future it will
be strip mined along with the rest
of Brookfield township.
The farm, in two parcels OF
200.27 acres and ITO acres, is
situated in BrookfieId township
and Spencer township, Guernsey
county.
For years, Howard Frisbee and
family have raised turkeys on
their $40 acre farm, their market
extending to the east and Pitts
burgh, Pa.
The deed was recorded to R. C.
Slack, trustee, representative of
the Ohio Power Co.
1t was understood that the Fris-
bee family must vacate by April
l, 1947.
The transfer means that Noble
county now loses her only turkey
farm on a commercial basis.

Hears Advanta ges
OF Parking Meters
Council Approves
Purchase of Fire
Truck Equipment

The parking meter situation is
here again!
Dewey Monaghan, representa-
tive of the Dual Parking Meter Co.,
Canton, met with the council
Tuesday evening, and pointed out
the many advantages and benefits
which the community would enjoy
if parking meters were installed

Gil did not take any action.
The purchase of the new fire

American Fire Apparatus Co. was
approved Tuesday evening. The
contract will be drawn up and the
truck delivered to Caldwell within
80 working days.

after period of nine months, the
council is not satisfied with the ar
rangements, the company will re-
turn and remove the meters-at no
cost to the village.
New Lexington and Barnesville
now have parking meters, the
salesman pointing out that even
tually all communities will be US
ing the system.
The council, as a unit, has not
yet indicated whether they would
be for or against the parking meter
system.

livery of one white type DIM Bar
ton tanker style fire engine, cost
