WOltz Studios Have
Temporary Shut Down

According to word received by
The Journal from the Woltz Stu
dios, Des Moines, Iowa, their plant
has been shut down temporarily.
which has caused a delay in the
shipment of cuts and photographs
of the children from Caldwell and
Noble county, taken several months
ago
The management says in part,
Due to our having to vacate the
building where our studio has been
located for many years, and our in
ability to find suitable quarters
elsewhere, it was necessary for us
to start the construction of our own
plant. Work on the plant is progress
lngS as rapidly as the shortage of
building materials and labor will
permit, but it has been necessary
for us to close down for a short
time and place our equipment, sup
plies and records in storage.
I'VE assure you that we regret
these unfortunate circumstances,
which have made it impossible for
US to give our usual prompt SER
vice. We trust that you and your
patrons will bear with US a little
longer, and assure you that the cuts
photographs will be sent Just as
soon as possible.

HUTCHINS-KING LOCKER PLANT
PROCEEDS TOWARD COMPLETION

The new cold storage locker
plant, now under construction on
u. S. route 81, just south of Cald-
well, will require 5000 cement
tiles. or blocks, according to S. j.
King and Elvin Hutchins, co-own-
ers.
Progress of its construction has
been slowed down, according to
Mr.. King, by lack of roofing ma
terial, lath and plaster. Although
they hold veterans permit, if the
material isn't available, it is i'm
possible to obtain it.
View of the locker plant from
the highway Is very deceiving and
one has to visit the site of con-
struction before its gigantic pro-
portions can be realized.
There are six rooms, all adjoin-
ing, in addition to the power plant.
Each room will have a certain pur-
pose, such as the receiving block,
processing room, cooling room,
quick freeze room and the actual
storage room for the lockers.
Several lockers are now on dis
play and may be seen at the S. J.
King store, which is Immediately
adjoining the new construction.
The owners have estimated that
the equipment alone for this locker
plant will cost $25,000.00.
The completion date will depend
entirely on the availability of ma
terial.

New Diesel Engine
At Power Plant
Will Be Paid Off

The floating Indebtedness against
the village of Caldwell will be re-
duced to $1,000 with the advent of
l947 from the staggering amount
OF $45, 5,8O8.28 as of June "a, 1910.
All of this will be brought about
in December when the village of
ficials pay off the last note against
them-representing 70 consecutive
payments-for the new Diesel
power engine at the Caldwell light
and water works plant.
1t was in June, 1910 that the
council and board of Public Affairs
entered into a contract with the
Fairbank, Morse and Co., Cleve-
land, for the purchase of a new
Diesel engine, at a total cost of
$40, 5,8O8.28 or monthly payment
of $636.24.
Ordinance No. 95 came into be-
ing and was duly passed by council
and approved on May q, 1910. A
supplemental ordinance, known as
No. SO, was passed and approved
on June "a, 1910.
The cost of the new engine was
paid off entirely by the electric
and power fund of Caldwell from
the revenues derived from the
operation of the electric light and
power plant, owned and operated
by the village of Caldwell.
Mrs. Violet Morgareidge, eff
cient clerk for the village, stated
that the two local banks held the
remaining notes, November being
due now and December coming up.
The two payments will write finis
to the far reaching vision of the
council and board of public affairs
members who were serving in
1910.
William ]. Kimnach, local we'll
known business man, was president
of the board at that time. Kimnach
has served consecutively on this
board since 1917 Charles Rogers
is now president, Daryl Buckley,
vice president and Kimnach, MEM
ber.
The council members who are
now serving in this capacity and
Will see the last payment against
the Diesel engine paid off next
month include: William Hill, J. w.
Drake, Homer Johnson, Chester
Hayes, Owen Harmon, and Warne
Rogers.
The generating plant is still as
good as new and should service the
community of Caldwell for many
years to come.
The monthly payments were act
ually $552.25 with an additional
$83.99 as interest.
According to the records in the
office of Mrs. Morgareidge, the
floating Indebtedness against Cald-
well in l94l was $33,00000 and in
1945, $21,0O0.0O.
In l947 it will be only $1,000
and this is good news to every resi-
dent of Caldwell.
The Indebtedness in 1947 will
represent the payment still to be
made by the village for the City
dump, north of here.

Sailor Will Go
On Expedition
Navy's Little America
Trip Will Include
Stanley ThOrla

Stanley Thorla, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lester Thorla of Olive Green
west of Caldwell, has been selected
as member of the crew aboard the
| Yantsie, one of thirteen ships in
the navy's antartic expedition
which is already loading its ships
at two ports for direct journey to
| the Polar regions.
Thorla is now stationed at Port
Ilueneme, Calf. Young Thorla, who
is q years old, enlisted in the navy
in 1943 and re-enlisted in the reg
ular navy, December, 1945.
Captain NJ A. Norcoss, logistics
(supply) chief for the expedition,
said they expect to leave some time
next month.
Norcoss and his staff experts will
have to guess right the first time
as to what supplies will be needed.
There will be no resupply once the
ships have left the United States.
Even tine single matter of cloth
lng is no simple problem. Norcross
said an effort is being made to get
a rough tailor'S measurement of
every man in the expedition, includ-
ing the Noble countian, in order that
the Polar clothing will fit
Fit is important because there
must be air space between success
i've layers of clothes if they are to
provide maximum protection against
temperatures ranging down to 80
degrees below zero.
Most of the 1000 men of the ex-
peditiOn will live aboard the l3
ships, with all the vessels anchored
close in shore, but a 300-man base
camp will be established, probably
on the Ross ice shelf. The camp will
be primarily for support of air oper-
ations.
Norcross said normal type foods
including meats, butter and other
supplies usually carried by navy
Shlps-Will be used and there will
be a fair percentage of dehydrated
foods. Emergency rationS will be
taken along for use by parties oper-
ating on the ice.
Thorla will not be able to COM
n1unlcate with his family during the
four months he is gone.
Because there will be no ships
from the outside world going into
Little America, the men of the ex-
pedition may not be able to send
or receive any mail for the four
months they are away. Only radio
contact will be possible unless the
trip of an aircraft carrier
to the expedition sometime in JAN
uary brings mail. Long overwater
hops through the worlds worst
weather probably will preclude the
use of airplanes to connect with the

Ihorla from Olive Green probably

Six Inmates At
County Home To
Receive Pensions
Attorney General
Rules They Are
Eligible For Benefits

Columbus, Nov. 27-(Ohio Press)
The Ohio Division of Aid for the
Aged this week began determining
the eligibility of six inmates of the
Noble County Home who were re-
ported to be over 65 years of age
for old age pensions following the
opinion handed down here by At
torney General Hugh S. Jenkins that
they are eligible for an allowance
provided they pay something to the
home and possess the qualifications
required by law.
Ira M. LaMoreaux, chief of the
division, said that intructions for
taking applications would be mailed
TO the aid for the aged subdivisions
in Noble county this week.
There is no way of accurately
forecasting how much Noble county
will save in the maintenance of it's
county home, Mr.. LaMoreauX said,
since several of the six inmates may
not be eligible for the pension. He
said the statewide monthly average
cost of maintenance was $50 last
year. The maximum pension in Ohio
IS $50.
Whatever allowances are made for
the inmates of the Noble County
Home money will be saved by Noble
county since old age pensions are
paid directly form state appropria-
tions. The entire cost of the program
will have to be borne by the State
Of Ohio since the federal govern
ment does not match dollar for dol
lar the allowances made for in
mates of public institutions.
The attorney generals opinion, re-
quested by Frazier ReamS, director
of the Department of Public We'll
fare, was based on the provisions of
law relating to aid for the aged, as
amended by Senate Bill 367 of the
S6th General Assembly.
