The new Masonic Temple, better
known as the old Cleveland hotel,
was purchased by Summerfield
Lodge, No. 425, F. & A. M, shortly
after the original Temple was des-
troyed in the diSasterous fire OF
1916, which almost completely
wiped out the business district in
that community. The purchase price
was 100000
An additional $3,0O0.0O has al
ready been spent in preparing this
building for occupancy by the Ma
sons. The dedicatory program, Sat
urday, will still see the Masonic Or
der in debt for their new Temple
but every effort will be made to
wipe it out by personal subscription

Governor Herbert Signs County
Employe Vacation Bill Monday

ployees got vacations but this has
now been corrected by this law
which provides that all employees
in all counties are to be given two
calendar weeks during each calen-
dar year.
In other words, everyone in Noble
county from Clerk of Courts George
L. Thompson right on down the
line in the courthouse will get an
authorized vacation of two weeks
beginning in 1948.
The, law is identical to the one
passed two years ago involving en-
ployees in state service.
The bill was sponsored by the
Ohio Civil Service Employees
Association, the second largest in
dependent organization of public
employees in the nation.
Noble county employees can now
take an authorized vacation of two
weeks without fear of political re-
percusions-a decided break for
those lined up at the political pie
counter.

Noble Countians
Strike Huge Gasser
After "ShOt" Well
Produces S,5O0,000

Local gas interest was focused in
Canton direction ali last week!
Hitting the pay sand at depth
of approximately 1925 feet, the
Clinton sand, last week, Virgil
Watson and associates, comprised
of Noble countians, reported a
natural" gas producer making
5,500,000 cubic feet in the recently
developed Canton field.
Last Sunday after the well was
shot, production increased to
9,500,000 cubic feet, but levelled
off to 8,500,000 cubic feet. The
well is reported to be one of the
largest producers in the field. A
number of Noble countians were
present for the shooting. An ex-
pert from Pennsylvania was en-
ployed to perform the delicate
operation.
1t is expected that well No. 2
will be started in the very near
future.

Council members and Mayor Sc
crest are receiving the cooperation
of Chester Huprich, owner of the
Noble theatre, who has been work
ing with the board in setting up the
new program. The Noble and Roxy
theatres in Caldwell will be the
single biggest source of income for
the village.
Mayor Secrest was of the opinion
that the admission tax would be
we'll over 100000 year and when
collected periodically, it will be
placed in the General fund. This
fund is primarily used for the op-
Grafton of Caldwell and in the past
has been constantly in the red.
Mayor Secrest said that the ad-
missions tax will apply to theatres,
dance halls, amphitheatres, auditor
iums, stadiums, athletic fields, base
ball, football, circuses, side shows,
swimming pools, merry-go-round
rides and any other form of enter
tainment
The above mentioned taxable en-
tertainment has heretofore been
collected by the State of Ohio but
the state law will expire on Sept.
80 and is now released for collection
of towns and villages if they see fit
to collect the same.
It is not known exactly how much
revenue the state is turning over to
Caldwell in withdrawing from the
admissions tax field but the yearly
amount should exceed $1,000.00
There has been some discussion
relative to exempting certain forms
fof entertainment but Mayor Secrest
now believes that one exemption
would only call for another and so
| on and the best policy would be to
tax. each and every form of amuse-
ment as the state did.
People in Caldwell and Noble
county have been paying the ad-
missions tax for several years with
/ out a grumble and there is every
reason to believe they will continue
to do so.
The admissions tax is based on
| level of Al cents and over For in
stance at the football game, which
opens Friday evening, the single ad-
mission ticket price will be so cents.
Of this amount, eight cents will be
| federal tax and the state now, but
later Caldwell, will collect three
percent of the remaining 42 cents,
or 126 cents. The bigger the season
in football, the more tax collected.
| Student tickets in advance will be
exempt from this tax since they are
only Is cents.
Definite action by the Caldwell
council will be taken this month and
beginning in October, the general
fund will be given a boost that will
do much to keep it out of the red
| in years to come.
1T takes money to operate this or
any village" Mayor Secrest said,
"and the enactment of the admis-
sion tax is step in the right dir
ection".,

kidding the towns they describe.
Take. for instance, the one on the
fringe of Butte, richest hill on
earth:
Butte has a most cosmopolitan
population derived from the four
corners of the world. She was bold,
unashamed, rootin'. tootin', hell
roarin' camp in days gone by and
still drinks her liquor straight"
Only occasionally is there a touch
of the Chamber of Commerce:
Some students opine that pre-
historic men existed here several
million years before heretofore be-
lieved. Personally we don't know,
but if there were people prowling
around that long ago. of course they
would pick Montana as the best
place to live"
Evening star., 1947-05-11
You Can't Hurry

l THOUSANDS like these two stop,
read and remember Montana's his
torical signs.
Majestic Montana-don't hurry
through" is the slogan of the Mon
tana Highway Department. If you
stop to read all the departments
signs you can't possibly hurry.
There are 1O5 of them posted
along main highways. They average
about one every so miles, which in
Montana is frequent.
Most historical signs are dull. But
not here, One on U. S. 10 reads:
"A yachting party consisting of
Capt. VIM. Clark, of the Lewis and
Clark Expedition. six OF his men,
Sacajawea, and her papoose, floated
by here August lst. 1906"
The signs are not averse, either. to
Evening star., 1947-05-11
Salty Language

lHE most popular sign simply
shows so old Montana cattle brands,
and states that many a dogie (not
'doggie' - dudes, please note) has
been decorated with one of the ia
nous brands"
Responsible for all this is man
named r. H. Fletcher.
Fletcher, who looks as if he could
throw a nimble leg over a saddle -
and modestly claims to be mo
great shucks as a writer" but he
knows his Montana. The salty Ian
guage he used on the signs is au-
thentic Western lingo.
Fletcher used to be Plans and
Traffic Engineer for the Montana
Highway Department. For years.
he tried to get the state to erect
some historical signs that people
would want to read.
Finally, in 1885, he sold his idea
to the Montana Highway Depart
ment. Cautiously, the depart
ment erected Is Fletcher mas
terpieces, and waited for the
roars of protest. None came.
Ever since the first signs went up,
every hamlet with past in the state
has been clamoring for sign of its
own. Montanans, it seems, like
Snowman P. T. Barnum, don't care
what is said about them as long as
it's said in an interesting manner -
and causes tourists to step on the
brakes.
