Patriotic Organizations Endorse
Erection Of Memorial Auditorium

The memorial hall or auditorium
proposed as a fitting tribute to the
soldiers who gave their lives in the
last war, is meeting with support
from patriotic organizations through
out the county, as well as the citi-
zenry.
The Daughters of Union Veterans
in Caldwell have unofficially en-
dorsed the idea and will contribute
toward its erection but they believe
that the auditorium should be
erected to any and all soldiers,
sailors or marines, who lost their
lives from this county, in any war,
not just World War II.
The committee agreed immediate
~ with the idea advanced by this
organization and if the auditorium
is constructed, it will always serve
as a memorial to all soldiers from
this county who gave their lives, re-
gardless of what war.
The Daughters of Union Veterans
expect to officially endorse the
project at a later date.
It has also been suggested that
the Booster club celebration on July
4. 1947, be given over entirely to
the support of this project and the
proc4 S turned over to the build
ngAd. The celebration this year

Livestock Prices Hit New
Peak. Steers Tn Demand

A good demand for fat steers and
high prices featured the sale at the
Noble Livestock Auction last Fri
day and there is every indication
that the price level will be main
tanned this coming Friday.
The market prices Tor last week
included: steers (tops) per 100
pounds, $500 to $1,000; heifers,
per 100 pounds, $3.50; bulls, per
100 pounds, $500 to $14.50; sows,
per 100 pounds, $16.25; milk cows
(tops), per head, $17100; veals
(tops), per 100 pounds, $23.00;

$1,000; and fat weathers, per 100

high school band and new athletic
grounds. 1t is believed that the
Booster club will fall in with the
idea and at least part of the pro-
ceeds will be used for this purpose.
The rural districts in Noble
county have not yet expressed their
approval or disapproval of this pro-
posed building and unless it does
meet with their general approval,
the idea will be abandoned.
The auditorium will be constructed
mainly as a public gathering place
for farmers, grangers, All club
members, and any others who wish
to use it. Former congressman, Ro-
bert T. Secrest, started the ball roll
ing with pledge of $500 to the
building fund. A rough estimate
places the actual building cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. This
would include the lot which must
also be purchased.
The Noble County Chamber Of
Commerce officials are anxious to
learn the public feeling on this
project and only through your let
ters will they be able to gauge the
response. whether it be good or in-
different.
The proposed Noble county me-
mortal auditorium is completely In
the hands of every citizen IN the Is
ownships.

help the state build this road. The
state proposes to take this $4,000
and in turn, will build two miles
of road from the Senecaville
dam to a point known as the
Welk-Rich home, located on the
Rich farm, and some time they
would build the rest of it down into
Noble county to route 566 so that
we, then, could get to the park.
In 1912, the state highway de-
partment, under another admin
stration, agreed to fulfill the states
obligation in regard this road and
had it engineered, plans drawn,
and estimates made, and because
of the war they were unable to
sell the contract and that is why
the road wasn't finished at that
time.
What Noble county wants to know
is why the state doesn't see fit to
build a road clear through so that
we could get to the park as we'll
as Guernsey county, as under
their present proposition, we would
have to drive to Senecaville, up to
the dam, and then back to the
park. This Noble county doesn't
think is fair, especially since the
state has an obligation to build the
road in question clear through
from the dam to state route 566
near the home of former county
superintendent, H. G. Riggs.
Just what steps the local civic
groups will take next to see if they
can find some solution of forcing
the present administration of the
state of Ohio to fulfill the obliga-
ton contained in the contract that
was signed by John Jaster, then
highway commissioner of the state
of Ohio, remain to be seen.

A federal coal mine inspection
report released today by the bu-
reau of mines commends the Dixie
Bell mine, an open-pit operation of
the Wingert Contracting Company
at Crooked Tree, 10 miles south

and a yield of 700 to 800 tons of
coal a day.
Federal Inspector P. S. Mac
Laine, who made the examination,
reported such commendable safe
guards as well maintained mechan-
ical equipment, relatively effective
guarding of moving equipment,
handrails on shovel booms, gen
orally good condition of the pits,
safely handled drilling and blast
ing operations, well installed and
maintained electrical equipment,

the highway of the No. pit,
guarding or recessing of grease fit
tings on the ends of the shovel
crankshafts, safety shield between
the hoist drum friction and the
operators seat on the dragline,
wearing of safety hats, goggles,
respirators, and fitting clothes
by certain employees and safety
shoes by all, and a safety organiza-
ton of officials and workmen meet
ing at least monthly.

f'HeII Hath No Fury Like A County
Scorned' As Noble Attempts To Get Her
Oft Promised Highway Into Seneca Lake
CONCERTED DRIVE.
BEING MADE TO
PREVENT PROJECT
Guernsey County Wants
To Hog Entire Revenue
From Proposed Park

Editors Note-The battle is
still raging between Guernsey
and Noble counties relative to
Seneca Lake. Strongly organ
lied, with money, power and
politics behind them, Guernsey
county is doing everything pos
sible to prevent a road being
constructed from the Noble
county sector into Seneca Lake.
The reason is very simple.
They want to derive all the
benefits from Seneca Lake and
could easily control all traffic
if the only road going into
the sake is located in Guernsey
county. Practically all of Sc
neca Lake is located in Noble
county and the greatest sacri-
flee of farm land was made by
Noble countians. They are
standing pat and every effort
will be made to prevent Guern-
sey county from realizing a
selfish ambition. The follow
ing facts were compiled by a
prominent business man of
Caldwell, who has followed the
progress of Seneca Lake from
its very beginning.

At the road hearing held by the
state highway department at Sc
necaville, Friday morning at l1:OO,
in which they proposed to put GER
tain roads on the highway system
and delete an equal amount OF
mileage for the mileage added to
the system, was attended by quite
large group from both Guernsey
county and Noble county.
The state had proposed that in
Noble county a road be built
known as ''the skyline drive, be-
ginning at the dam of Seneca Lake
and then coming south to a point
ID 1--we Cohen's church, and then
. Town to Cohen's church, and
thence to state route 566. This is
the road that has been fought
about for several years. First a
group fought to have it come up
the shore line, and when we were
unable to OF Eain that, because OF
the slippery condition of the hills,
it was proposed to build skyline
drive. That fell through with for
the reason that the county commits
sioners could not obtain all of the
right -of-way, and the road now, is
a compromise of part of the "sky-
line drive" and then down to state
route 566.
In 1885, the StaCe of Ohio,
through its highway commissioner,
signed a contract with Noble coun-
ty, that for Noble county giving
the conservancy district county
road No. 25, or what is more
familiarly known as Mud Run
south, the state would build for
Noble county new road which
as ] have said before, was to re-
place the one covered with water.
To date the state has failed to
make good on their contract which
has stood for IL years, and since
at the time the conservancy dis
trict was formed, the federal and
state governments, together, pro-
vided about $8,000,000 for roads >. :.
and our road should have been
built with part of that money,
Noble county can't find out what
happened to their share of the cash
to build her road!
AS most of you know, through the
efforts of George Mckee, there
was formed state park in Noble
county on the west side of the lake
and along the route of this new pro-
posed state road, and the conserva-
ton department is quite anxious to
get a road into the park so it can
be improved
The state of Ohio proposes to
Noble county that they taxi off
part of state route 500 to prov1ue
the mileage for this new state ROAD.

federal government, $32,000.00 to
