Poles and Lights
Purchased For Field

L. E. Potts, president of the
Caldwell Booster club, said today
that the lights and other fixtures,
necessary for lighting the new
athletic field would cost approx
imately $1,000, the amount turned
over from the proceeds of the July
4th. celebration.
The additional $4,000 was given
to the band fund and a representa-
tive was scheduled to be in Cald-
we'll this week, in regards to the
purchase of new uniforms. The
original idea of having the new
uniforms on the Eisenhower style
has been abandoned
The eight poles for lighting the
field are enroute and the lights
have been purchased.
When the field is lighted for a
night football game, it will be
using more electricity than the en-
tire village of Caldwell does during
a normal evening. But the Caldwell
light plant has an additional Die
sci engine, as a reserve unit, and
this will be switched on during
the game. There are only four
night football games scheduled.

Tipton's Bakery Closed
For Two Weeks Period

For the first time in 48 years,
Tipton's bakery closed its doors
Saturday evening, because of their
in ability to obtain a necessary
quota of flour.
Clair R. Upton, owner of the
bakery, stated they would remain
closed for at least ten days and
possibly two weeks. Mr.. Upton has
the unusual record of not missing
a single day in 48 years, and is one

every home throughout the county
and the enforced shutdown of this
bakery will be felt by many.

So far the movement is meeting
with the general approval of all
concerned.
The petition, in part, reads as
follows:
That the following described
territory may be annexed to the
village of Caldwell, including
the land adjacent to Caldwell,
known as Maple Heights, laying
north of State Route 21 in Noble
township and including all the
lots on Wiley and Mckee av- :
enue, also lots /, 2, and 3 in
block A and lots l, 2, 8, 4, S,
and 6 in block B, together with
the streets and alleys as shown
on plat book one, page 202 of
the records in the office of Re-
. corder Clyde Wharton"
The land in question, containing
IS acres, was donated on May 81,
1904, by Joseph and Ella Mckee.
Joseph Mckee is the father of
Sheriff Clayton Mckee, and Mrs.
Mckee is now making her home in
Caldwell.
1t is more specifically located in
sections 33 and "a in township s.
range of Noble township. The
streets and alleys were donated to
the public for their use by Mr.. and
Mrs. Mckee.
Russell L. Morris was the county
engineer in 1904 and he laid out the
lots which were later to become
Maple Heights and now seeks to be
a part of Caldwell.
The proposal has long been talked
about, but this is the first time that
any definite action has been taken.
There is reason to believe that
not a single objection should be
raised in annexing the Is acres to
Caldwell and by doing so, enlarg-
ing the community.

AS Cambridge Interests See 1t

MANY persons in Noble county
are said to be disappointed over the
fact that the state has not arranged
to construct a highway to ease the
; transportation problem between
that district and Seneca lake.
ut was contended that the state
in 1885 signed contract with Noble
county in which were provisions
that the state was to build a ''sky-
line" drive road from the Seneca
Vile dam south. Such a highway
could be hooked up with State
Route 566 and would make the lake
more assessible to many persons.
However, the state was said to have
not lived up to its obligations, and
consequently Noble countians in
order to reach the recreational area
on the south side of the lake are
obliged to first go to Senecaville, a
drive of a considerable distance.
To possibly clear up any confu-
sion as to what the state proposes
to do soon regarding roads in the
AA11l1Ly VI lIIC 1dhS, IlGIG SOI1l6-
what of the picture.
"The state proposes to incorpor-
ate into the state highway system
over eight miles of roadway (most
of it in Guernsey county with part
in Noble county, between Seneca
vile and point near Kennonsburg
and extending along the north side
of the lake. In addition, it proposes
to build road from the SenecavilIe
dam to the recreation area on the
south side of the lake in Noble
county. The road now extending
from the dam to the area would not
be taken over by the state, as sec
tions of it are frequently flooded. |
The recreation area embraces the
bathing pool and picnic grounds,
which, incidentally, has been neg
lected and are badly in need of i'm
provement. The new highway would
be part of the proposed SKY line" !
road.
''The idea of having a sky line"
drive along the south side of the
lake has long been considered and !
would be a great asset to the lake
region. Not only would it accom-
modate hundreds of persons in
Noble county and others farther
south in giving them a more direct
toute to the lake, but it would af-
ford motorists with one of the most
scenic rides in this part of the state"

DR.. Maxwell S. Kaplan, 46, and
his nephew, DR.. Merrill F. Jones,
80, prominent Canton physicians,
were drowned some time Saturday
evening when their small motor
boat capsized, during heavy
storm on Seneca Lake, Noble coun-
ty. Search continues by local of
ficials, assisted by the state high
way patrol and Guernsey county
officers for the bodies.
The capsized boat, which the
men had rented Saturday about
$50 o. m. from a concessionaire at
Seneca Lake, was found early Sun
day near the island in front of
Balls OCge, according to local Of
ficials, who have been conducting
the search.
Authorities theorized Monday
that the, boat had been riding at
anchor when it was turned over,
probably by a wind and rain storm
which swept the lake Saturday
night. Officers said they were GER
tain the motor was not running
when the accident occurred. The
throttle was off, the gasoline was
turned off between the motor and
carburetor and the air vent in the
tank closed, they said.
The boat was apparently at an
chor when it capsized and caught
the rope as it turned over, pulling
the anchor loose. One of the boat
oars was found about two miles
from where the boat was found
and one of the four life preserver
cushions the boat contained had
been recovered Monday.
