Silver Star Awarded To
BrOOkfield TWp. Officer

The Silver Star medal, third high
est army decoration for valor under
fire, has been awarded to Captain
Robert C. Blackburn of Brookfield
township, who has been hospitalized
at Mcclure General hospital, Rich
mond, Va, last May Is. Special cere-
monies were held in Blackburn's
ward recently and the medal was
presented by Colonel P. E. Duggins,
hospital commanding officer.
His citation states in part:
... For gallantry in action in
connection with military operat ons
against an armed enemy. On March
Is, 1945, while serving as company
commander, Captain Blackburn's
column was halted by an enemy
mine field. Without waiting for the
arrival of his company, Captain
Blackburn started to clear it by
himself. Although required to clear
the road only, Captain Blackburn
started to clear the shoulders as
well. While doing this a mine ex-
ploded, resulting in the loss of Cap
tain Blackburn's right foot. By his
courage and disregard of
personal safety. Captain Blackburn
aided the column to advance and
contributed to the saving of many
lives. His actions were in keeping
with the highest tradition of the
United States army"
The captain also wears the bronze
star meal, Purple Heart and the
ETO and pre-Pearl Harbor ribbons.
He entered military service in July,
194l and was given his first combat
duty in December, 1914.
Captain Blackburn is the son of

Ohio Power Strike
Averted For Present

Washington, Jan. 30-Conferences
aimed at averting a strike of electric
power workers in Ohio, which would
affect practically the entire of Noble
county, particularly the northern
section which is served by the Ohio
Power Company, Philo, recessed
Tuesday night until Wednesday
without agreement but Union lead
ers postponed the tie-up. Caldwell
has its own municipal plant.
Secretary of Labor SchwelIenbach
called the emergency meeting at the
labor department on the eve of the
walkout which had@ been scheduled
for Wednesday morning.
Nearly $500 union men at three
power companies serving 100000
consumers are demanding a 20 cents
an hour wage increase.
Soon after the meeting opened,
Joseph Fisher, president of the CIO
Utility Workers, advised local unions
not to strike pending the outcome of
the negotiations.
Fisher said the union will accept
arbitration of the dispute. He said
the company had offered increases
ranging from 10 to Is cents an hour.
Schwellenbach conferred first with
all the groups and then turned the
over to Assistant Secretary
John Gibson, who conferred separ-
ately with spokemen for each COM
pany and the union. A joint session
followed.
The union was averse to negotiat-
ing agreements with the companies
separately, contending the men
would strike unless their demands
were met by all three concerns, the
Ohio Power, the Ohio Edison and the
Dayton Power and Light.

NOBLE COUNTY LEADER
SUSPENDS PUBLICATION
FOR INDEFINITE PERIOD

The Noble County Leader,
owned and published by Jess
s. Harris, announced in it's is
sue last week, that it was sus-
pending publication for an in
definite period.
Long devoted to the Repub-
lican interests of this county,
The Leader had become an ac-
cepted part of the readers in
Caldwell and county.
Mr.. Harris made the an
nouncement with reluctance on
his part, stating that lack of
skilled labor prompted him to
do so. He also stated that he
hoped to be back into the field
within the month.
The newspaper field has not
been too enticing to the youn-
ger generation and for this
reason skilled labor is difficult
. to obtain.
When the labor problems
have been ironed out, The
Journal, as well as many 9TH
ers throughout the county, will
welcome Mr.. Harris back into
the weekly field.

Must Cease In County

Cooperating with the wishes of
Governor Frank J. Lausche, Noble
county officials are cracking down
on all gambling devices in Caldwell
and the county, whether it be a slot
machine or just a simple punch
board.

Clothing Collection
Ends January RI

Mrs. Margaret T. Donohoo, home
demonstration agent for this county
announced today that the collection
of clothing for the needy millions in
war torn Europe would end Thurs
day, January 81.
Mrs. Donohoo pointed out that the
drive only would end and that collec-
tion of the clothing from the differ
ent centers would continue for at
least two weeks.
Noble countians were urged two
weeks ago to take all their old cloth
ing and leave them in any church
throughout the county. In the out
lying districts, it might be wise for
residents to inform Mrs. Donohoo as
to what churches were used as col
lection centers, to save time and
gasoline.
The Caldwell chapter of the Eas-
tern Star lodge is aiding in the
drive. Members who have old cloth
ing should inform Mrs. Harry A.
Semon, Mrs. Harry Richcreek, Cald-
well, or Mrs. Kendrick Marquis,

Five Business
Places In County
Looted Recently
Warrants Being Issued
In Attempt To Break
Up Organized Gang

In an attempt to break up series
of petty robberies, which have oc-
Cured the past several weeks, eff
fecting at least five business places
in this county, local officials are pre-
pairing a number of warrants for the
arrest of those believed re ,Dor sih'C
according to a statement released to-
day by Mayor Sam Secrest.
Total value of the loot stolen will
amount to over thousand dollars,
plus the additional charge of break
ing and entering.
Mayor Secrest believed that sew
eral were implicated, mostly of the
teen age.
The five different business places
robbed included Miles Ralph, Belle
Valley, L. E. Carnes, Belle Valley,
Howard Marks store, Ava, Orval
Trimble and Joseph Archer, dealers
in fur, Caldwell.
L. E. Carnes
At the L. E. Carnes filling station
in Belle Valley, the following was
listed as stolen and missing: five
new 600x16 tires, two new 550x17
tires, marked used shop tools, two
boxes of candy bars, two boxes of
chewing gum and one personally
owned revolver, valued at over $175.
This station has been robbed on two
different occasions.
Miles Ralph Store
At the Red & White store in Belle
Valley, owned and operated by Miles
Ralph, the culprits stole several
silver dollars, sugar stamps, lunch
meat, kit of salt fish, weighing be-
tween Is to 25 pounds, and several
pounds of Blue Bonnet oleomargine.
Officials pointed out that at least
the thieves knew what they were do
ing. They not only took the fish but
could use the "oleo" to fry them in.
Howard Marks Store
At the Howard Marks store m
Ava, situated on u. S. route 81, 32
gallons of outside paint were stolen,
as well as stove pine and accessories.
Fur Dealers
For the second time in less than
a month, thieves broke into the home
of Orval Trimble on Main street last
week and took all the fur which he
had purchased that particular day.
The loot included two skunks and
two raccoon skins. Over $50 was
taken from his pocketbook, as well
as a blank check book.
When Mr.. Trimble reported the
first theft, fur valued at SIS, was
taken.
Joseph Archer was more fortunate
for he had sold all his fur the day
before the thieves broke into his
fur storage building. Investigating
officials found the broken paddock
near the door.

Taxes, Rates Top Honors in County

speaks we'll for the citizens of that
community as well as the trustees
and other officials. In the village of
Sharon proper, there is one lot with
delinquent taxes against it, to mar
an otherwise perfect record.
Brookfield township is clear of de-
linquent taxes, but the coal property
is in bad shape, which gave Sharon
top honors.
The board of revisions was of the
opinion that Noble and Olive town
ships were in the worst condition.
There is very little delinquent prop
erty in Caldwell village.

sale will be held near the first of
