1924 VETERANS
NOW DISCHARGED
IN THIS COUNTY
Teen Age Youths
Must Still Register
With Draft Board

Richard F. Hanes, clerk Of the
Noble county draft board, stated to-
day that 1924 veterans have received
their discharge from the armed
forces, up to and including May 81.
This represents the greater num-
Der of veterans in the county and
those remaining in the service are
doing so because they want to and
have probably elected to make this
a career.
Hanes said there would probably
be a few more discharges filed, but
that the bulk of the veterans here
have now returned to civilian life.
Surprisingly enough, the percen-
tage who has employment is way
out of proportion and at the present
time it is very low, according to the
figures on file.
Hanes also pointed out that it is
still mandatory for young men be-
tween the ages of 18 to 20 to regis
ter with the local board. Drafting
Of teen ayers was only postponed,
not cancelled, and they must still
sign up as long as selective service
is in effect. This also applies to all
discharged men, who are now old
enough to register, but were not at
the time they enlisted.
Veterans who were released from
the service during the month of May,
include the following:
Dwight w. Hill, Floyd R. Fitch
man, Woodrow w. Carpenter, James
E. Hedge, Sergis F. Michel, George
J. Spriggs, Charles M. Franklin,

Firearms Must Not
Be Fired In Caldwell

Due to several complaints received,
Mayor S. NJ. Secrest is issuing a
warning to teen age boys that fire
arms cannot be fired within the cor
poration limits Of Caldwell. Parents
are especially urged to caution their
sons that this "fun-fest with a gun"
must cease Immediately.
Last week, a stray shot lodged on
the front porch of home near the
Pennsylvania depot, directly in line
with a play swing which had been
set up for the children. Had the
children been playing on the porch,
the results could have been disas-
trous.
For this reason, drastic action
must be taken and if the parents do
not heed the warning, the court will
step into the picture and take legal
action.

Beautiful For Holiday

The many people from Caldwell
and Noble county and those who
live afar were high in their praise of
Olive cemetery, Memorial Day, when
they visited it to pay their respects
to those who have gone to their
eternal rest.

efforts of Ray Elswick, Walter
Quick and Paul G. McGlashan, who
comprise the board of trustees and
for the painstaking endeavor of Dick
Schafer, superintendent and his crew
of men.

have worked increasingly to beau
tify the cemetery and that they have
succeeded is evident by the pictur-
esque setting.

shape and relatives can aid i'm
measurably by subscribing to the
Endowment fund. Violet Morgan
edge, village clerk, may be con-
tacted for additional details.

COUNCIL MOVES
TO PURCHASE
FIRE TRUCK
Committee Attends
Free Demonstration
At McCOnneIsviIIe

Following the mandate of the vot-
ers in Caldwell when they decided
at the May 1916 primary to bond
themselves in the amount of $4,000.
plans are now moving forward for
the purchase of new fire truck and
equipment for this community.
Members of the executive commit
tee, appointed by the Caldwell Will
age council, motored to McConnels-
VILE Wednesday evening of this
week where they watched a free
demonstration of the excellent fire
equipment now owned by the twin
villages.
The committee included Mayor s.
NJ. Secrest, representing the council.
Glen McFerren, the fire department,
Z. l.. Merry and Donald L. Harkins,
the two local banks, L. E. Potts,
president of the Caldwell Booster
club, and John D. Wheeler, president
Of the Noble County Chamber of
Commerce.
This committee will function in
the purchasing of the new fire
equipment, recommending to the
council the final action which this
body will take.
McConnelsville recently purchased
new truck from the same company
dealing with the council, and it is
modern IN every respect and meets
all the requirements needed in Cald-
well and Noble county.
The fire department for the twin
cities in Morgan county is more or
less self supporting. They hold a
fall festival each year, the proceeds
of which is further augmented by
$500 from the village of McConnels-
vile and $500 from Malta. In addi-
tion each township also pays a year
ly sum of $25.00 or less, dependent
on the size and in a few instances,
nothing at all, but the fire depart
ment answers every call and covers
the entire county.
This is the ultimate goal of the
Caldwell fire department, as we'll as
the voters of this community, who
feel that the rural districts should
have the fire protection.
This will be accomplished by the
purchase of a new and modern fire
truck and complete over-hauling
of the old truck.
