Our Countersign

Our COunterSign +.
A priest was telling us lately
that in Russia, during the days
when every effort was being made
to put out the light of faith, priests
used to have a secret sign by
which they recognized one another.
If one met a person and saw him
tap his chest three times, then
one knew he was priest.
1t wildly suggests the days of the
Roman Caesars when to be Chri-
stian was to be a criminal. Catho-
lies used to recognize one another
is the sign of the cross-the small
sign, made with the thumb on the
forehead. To an outsider, it was a
meaningless gesture. a mere scratch
ing of the forehead. To one "in
the know" it conveyed so much:
it recalled God in the flesh. Our
Lord Jesus, born of the Virgin
Mary in Bethlehem, and nailed to
the cross for our salvation on Cal
vary. All of this might flash
throughthe mind of an ancient
Roman greeting some friend who
had to thumb an "X' on his fore
head.
With the final victory of Chri-
stianity the cross came out of hid
ing. Now, besides that small cross,

we have the large sign, which we
trace on ourselves-right hand to
forehead. chest, left and right
shoulders. And we have the sign
which a priest makes in blessing
people-the sign of that cross by
which Christ unlocked the gates Of
heaven, the instrument by which
the devil was beaten down once for
all.
God forbid" said St. Paul, that
l should glory, save in the cross Of
our Lord Jesus Christ" (King
James Version, Galatians 6.l4).
And so we place this cross or
the very top of cur steeples; we
trace it on ourselves when we be-
gin and finish our prayers. We put
figure CT Jesus on it, call it cru
clflx, and set it squarely on the
center of our altars, to remind II,
OF our redemption through His
blood; we hang it in our homes;
we stand it in our bedroms; many
OF us carry it in our pockets or hang
1T around our necks. 1t is our Chri-
stan countersign - the triumphant
token of victory over evil.

would help strengthen the church

STRANGE DoINGs IN PAsoUorANk

7More accusations against Negroes of
rape OF white women come from Eliza
Oefh City and PasQuotank County than
from any other locality in The state. Some
hight on what may possibly have been
going in that neck of the woods for an
indefinite time in the past was lllustrat-
ed in the most recent case.
About the middle of the month news
story appeared in the daily press about
q young high school student who a
been the victim of "a brutal assault bv
an unidentified aSsailant at her home"
The young woman was "found in h
back yard of her home and it was
believed that she was attacked without
warning by her assailant."
The story told also that already "three
young Negroes" had been arrested and
were being held until the victim had suf-
ficiently recovered to identity someone.
There was no indication in the printed
account the the girl had alleged that her
assailant was Negro, and the implication
was strong t h a t the "young Negroes"
might have been arrested before the girl
had ''regained consciousness" Blood
hounds did the identifying for the time
being it would seem.

ed that the young woman had admitted
that she was not attacked by any strang
er, but that her boy friend, in jealous
rage, tore off hen clothes No disclosure
was vouchsafed as to how she became
unconscious.
But the end was not vet. The following
day cryptic message from the Eliza
beth City police was printed. This last
account announced the police as saying
they were going on with the investiga-
tion; t h a t the girl who had had her
clothes torn off by her boy friend was
a different girl altogether; that the pc
lice were continuing with their investiga-
tion Of the original case described. Moth

Rape is an awful crime = one of the
most dastardly in the books. No m n
with a wife or daughter or sister, or for
that matter, no decent man, can contem-
plate the cr m e of rape without the
strongest feelings against the rapist
But because rape is such a horrible
crime, false accusation of that crime is
one of the greatest wrongs which could
be visited on a person. Negroes h ave
been subjected to that false accusation
on many occasions, and for more than
one reason or motive. No one knows how
many of them, innocent of the crime of
rape, have forfeited their lives at the end
of lyncher's rope, or after conviction or
perjured testimony The Elizabeth City
story shows one way it can be done. The
most unusual element in that case was
that somebody told the truth in time.

Agricultural Picture
In County Is Poor

Looking at both the present and
future agricultural picture for Noble
county, M. E. Gatewood, director of
the soil conservation office in Cald-
well, sees an immediate and urgent
need for the use of more lime and
fertilizer, with special emphasis on
pasture Improvement.
Farmers need to contour strip
more of their rolling cropland, trees
should be planted on badly eroded
and steep slopes, the established
farm woods should be protected
from livestock and fire and selec-
tive cutting should be practiced
when any products are removed, &C
cording to Gatewood.
If interested in securing trees
through the district organization for
spring planting, the local office
should be contacted before Feb. 90

Secondary Road
Improvement Plan
Now Approved
Approximately 10
Miles In Noble
County Affected

COLUMBUS Feb. 6-Approval by
the Publics Roads Administration of
Ohio's plan for an 11,750-mile Fed
eral-aid seconary road system has
been granted State Highway Perry
7. Ford announced today.
This approved system is the one
on which the state may spend
27,946,008 on its three-year, post
war secondary road improvement
program.
Actual work on the first projects
will be underway by late spring, the
director forecast.
State and local County and town
ship) highways were included in
Ohio's initial secondary program
submitted to PRA. All but ATS miles,
or less than three percent, of the
initial mileage submitted was ap-
proved.
improvements may be made under
this three-year, postwar program on
996 secondary routes in Ohio's 88
counties. Of the mileage approved,
4,952.9 miles are on local road sys-
TENS and 6,796.8 on the state high
way system.
To comply with provisions of the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1914,
Director Ford contacted county road
officials in each of the 88 counties
and discussed their secondary pro-
grams with them. Through their fine
cooperation, the system was drawn
up and submitted to the Federal
agency in near-record time, Mr..
Ford said.
Distribution of mileage between
local and state highway systems was
left by the Highway Act to the dis
cretion of the state highway direc-
tons of highways. Director Ford said
he decided that since about equal
traffic exists on Ohio's state and
local secondary routes, he thought it
only fair to develop the program
approximately $3.50. No formula was
used, he said. Rather, traffic service
and the ability of local authorities to
participate in construction of pro-
jects on the selected routes. were
taken into consideration
Under the 1914 Highway Act,
counties can select projects only for
construction or reconstruction. This
eliminated surface treatments, dust
laying or other maintenance projects.
Counties are required, under the act,
to execute an agreement committing
them to maintaining these projects
at their own expense to standard !
intended by the construction.
The complete list of routes and
mileage on Ohio's first-year second !
ary program for Noble County is as
follows: SR-78, 22.6; SR-76, 6.S; CO,
80; SR-147, O.5; SR-265, O.5; SR-26O,

Building Boom
Anticipated For
Noble County
Business Men Plan
To Make Extensive
improvements Soon

Curtailed by the war and lack oil
material, the oft delayed building
boom in Caldwell and community is
now coming into it's own and several
business men have announced theil
intentions to either rebuild or re.
model.
In many instances, the building
plans are only materialzing and ii
will actually be several months be-
fore construction gets under way and
in several cases not for another year
Perhaps the biggest contemplated
change around the public square will
be the razing of the Knights of
Phythias building, now owned by
Kegerreis of Woodsfield. Mr.. Keger-
reis owns and operates the 5 and
10 cent store in Caldwell.
It is said that Mr.. Kegerreis plans
to tear down this building as well
as the present location of his store
and construct a modern place of
business, very similar to that which
he owns ard operates in Woodsfield.
The entire front, from the Quick
building to the alley, will be glass.
The K. of P. building is now oc-
cupied by DR.. w. C. Harper and
Attorney U. H. Buckley.
William C. Wehr, owner of a
clothing store for men, plans an en-
tire new front on his store. New
shelves will be constructed, the busi-
ness room shortened and rearranged
and larger stock room installed.
Gray's store on Main street have
completed plans for a new business
front and there is a possibility they
will lengthen their business room.
The Journal will construct a new
brick and tile building in their pres
ent location. Construction of the
newspaper plant will be delayed un-
til late summer.
The Worl w. Thompson garage on
Cumberland street has been re-
decorated, particularly the display
room, in anticipation of early de-
liveries of new Dodge and Plymouth
cars. Thompson attended a meeting
of Dodge dealers at Pittsburgh, Pa,
recently, as we'll as at Charleston,
w. Va, for Plymouth dealers.
The Stellfox Cut Rate Drug store
and Gillespie's Drug store have COM
pleted their remodeling and redec-
grafton.
The former Gather shop on West
street is being occupied by the new
Charles Kirchner Appliance store
and he will be soon open to the pub
lie.
Joseph Elias is remodeling his
business place on North street and
it is to be occupied by Madge's Spe-
cialty Shop, owned and operated by
Mrs. Madge Ferguson and Ray Croy.
This includes only the building
around the public square but
there are a number who contemplate
building new homes or repairing
their old dwellings.

The Cambridge headquarters told
local officials that complaints from
this county were alarming and they
were going to crack down on all
violators. regardless of who they
were.
They also pointed out that the
number of wrecks in Caldwell and
Noble county was largely due to ex-
cessive speeding and this was given
as another reason for their active
patrol.
1t is even possible that a branch
office will be located in Caldwell for
the next few months with at least
two patrolmen stationed here until
the situation is under control.
Mayor Secrest stated that the
speed limit in any municipality was
25 miles per hour, 20 miles in
school zone during recess or inter
mission, and so miles on all state
highways.
Those hauled into court will be
given a fine of $1.00 for every mile
in excess of the STIPULATED speed
limit. All highways will hereafter be
patrolled.
Those who appeared in municipal
court Sunday and paid their fines,
included:
