Thanksgiving Food
Collection To Aid
EurOpe'S Starving

In special announcement read
in all Catholic churches of the coun-
ty last Sunday, the campaign got
under way to aid the relief of the
untold thousands of Europeans in
the Thanksgiving food collection.
The campaign opened last Sunday
and will end Sunday, November 80,
when a special collection will be
taken up at all masses. The funds
will be directed to Rev. Francis j.
Connor, diocesan director of the
campaign.
The Most Rev. Bishop, John King
Music, of Steubenville, in a special
appeal to the people of his diocese,
said: eve in America have plenty
to eat, we are warmly clothed, we
are provided even with 1uxuries.
Our Thanksgiving to God for these
blessings can never be truly sincere
unless we share our plenty with
those in need"
Instead of soliciting canned foods,
it has been decided the collections
will serve to the best advantage,
thus eliminating additional help and
work in preparing the canned foods
for shipment.
According to statement made
by Rev. Stephen j. Pekalla, pastor
at st. Philomena's church, contri-
buttons are being accepted from the
general public in an effort to gain
the one objective of the campaign
it is not sum of money, or a high
office, but simply the saving of hu-
man lives.

Veterans Will
Get Dividend
From Insurance
Average Payment
Will Not Be I'm
Excess OF $100

Just when it appears that the go
ing is getting rough on the average
veteran, along comes an announce
ment which usually means another
cash outlay for the veterans OF
World War II.
A surplus estimated to be between
one and a half and two billions,
which like Topsy, "jest growed" In
the Veterans Administration Ma
tional Service Life Insurance Fund,
will be distributed among the ma
TONS veterans in cash, including or
course Noble county.
The great majority of veterans
who held a CT insurance policy
stand to get some money back, re-
gardless of whether they have let
policies lapse. This is the first off
cial announcement by VA that the
surplus fund will be divided among
all present, plus most former CT
policy holders and that payments
will be made in cash.
Based upon the most conservative
estimate of the sire of the fund, it
is believed that the average diyi-
dend will be $100 per veteran.
1t may or my not be paid about
the same time as the bonus in Ohio
but 1948 should be profitable year
for the average veteran.
Chief reason for the surplus Is
the fact that outdated mortality
tables had to be used to figure the
NSLI premiums. No other tables
were available when the govern
ment's insurance program was
created for World War II. The tables
used were based on death rates in
America of many generations ago.
People live longer now. So pre-
miums which GIs had to pay and
are still paying, are too high.
In addition, the general VA in
surance fund has been drawing
three per cent interest from the tax
payer while it has been in the u. S.
treasury. Another possible explain
alton for the great size of the sur
plus is the unexpectedly large num-
Der of veterans who have let their
policies lapse. They paid millions
into the fund, never took anything
out, and now the government
doesn't have to keep aside any
money for the event of their death.
How soon will veterans get a divi-
dend on their policies? Eighteen
months is the most optimistic S4loS
ate. Even after congress apprSp
ates money for the bookkeeping
task, it would probably take more
than year to complete it, working
at top speed.
VA insurance officials say there
will have to be a time limit on how
long CT has had his policy in force
in order to qualify for a dividend.
Present estimate is thu -
cent of all former GIs who
government insurance out of
service pay will get some mi
back. es~.-=.s.
The average dividend would j
according to how much insurance
man held, how long he kept it pa
up and his age.
But the dividend is there. j.
when the average Noble county vd
eran will receive it is strictly
matter of speculation

Noble County 4-H Club Members Make
Good Showing AT Pittsburgh Auction

The Noble county All club dele
gates, headed by Agents Floyd
Henderson and Miss Ruby Erman,
didn't do so badly at the annual
calf show and auction held at Pitts
burgh, Pa, the past week.
The average price received at the
sale was 40 cents, with two Noble
county calves bringing two cents
less or 38 cents per pound. In at
least two instances, when separate
classifications were narrowed from
48 to II calves, Noble county was
still in the running.
The heaviest Noble county calf at
the sale was exhibited by Miss Jan
ct Ogle. The weight was 1855
pounds. Miss Ogle and Norma
Hurst owned the two top calves,
which brought 38 cents a pound
The Hurst calf weighed 1920 pounds.
Dale Lothers, Jane Ogle, George
Hurst and Don DeVolld each own
ed and exhibited a calf that sold for
81 cents a pound. Others exhibited
and the price they brought at the
Pittsburgh show included: Richard
Manifold, 35 cents; Dale Hedge, 33
cents; Frances Miller, 81 cents;
Jane Groves, % cents; Francis and
Eddie Miller, each having a calf, 25
cents and Erma Bell, exhibiting a
fat lamb, 25 cents.
The heaviest calf in the lot was
that owned by Janet Ogle at 1855
pounds and the weigh: then varied
down to $50 pounds.
In the heavy weight ring, Janet
Ogle and George Hurst owned the
two calves that remained in the last
II, after the original entry number
of AZ had been screened.
Norma Hurst owned the only
Noble county calf remaining in the
last II for the middle weight class.
According to Agent Henderson,
the reserve champion at the show
brought $1.25 per pound.
There were only II calves that
brought 40 cents or more during the
sale and there was a total of 436
calves exhibited.
When these figures have been
broken down, it can thus be seen
that the All club members from
Noble county made more than an
average showing for their. projects.

Five Injured
I'm Auto Crash
On Route Il
Bob Edwards Again
Figures In Auto
Wreck Near Caldwell

Five persons were injured Sunday
evening at 800 o'clock when auto
mobiles driven by Joseph Rarick,
81, of Lorain and Robert c. Baker,
21, of Coal Run, collided on u. S.
Route q, two miles north of Cald-
well and one mile south of Belle
Valley, according to Sheriff Clay
ton Mckee and Patrolman c. c.
Williams of Cambridge who investi-
gated the accident.
Investigating officials expressed
the theory that the two cars had
been racing north on Route 21. I'm
mediately following the impact,
both vehicles were again headed
south toward Caldwell. It is said
that Rarick's car ran off the right
side of the road and in attempting
to regain the pavement the machine
swerved into the right side of
Bakers automobile.
Rarick was later charged with
reckless driving by Patrolman Will
liams and paid a fine of $40 and
costs when he appeared before
Mayor S. M. Secrest. The young
man is son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Minyo of Florence Addition.
Riding from Caldwell to Belle
Valley in the Baker car were James
Lori, 26, Maple Heights, and Robert
J. Edward, %, Belle Valley, son of
Mrs. Mable Edwards. Both were in
jured and removed Immediately in
the Murphy ambulance to the st.
Francis hospital, Cambridge.
Lori suffered a possible skull
fracture and scalp lacerations while
Edwards received a dislocated left
shoulder, fractured left collar bone
and four fractured ribs.
1t will be remembered that Ed
wards figured in an accident slight
ly more than year ago when Oscar
Neiswonger was fatally injured.
The young man was still recovering
from injuries received in the first
wreck when he became involved in
the second.
Baker and his brother, Dean, H.,
suffered head abrasions and Rarick
was bruised about the right knee.
Lori and Edwards had hitch
hiked their way from Caldwell in
the Baker car.

Timber Damaqe
Suit Is Filed In
Common Pleas
Karl YOhO Named
Defendant In
Unusual Case

Dallas Bond and Okey Hague
have filed suit in Common Pleas
court asking that they be awarded
100000 damages from Karl Yoho,
resulting from breach of contract.
The damage suit was filed through
their attorney, E. p McGinnis.
According to the petition, the
plaintiffs and the defendant entered
into an agreement in the month of
March, 1947, regarding the cutting,
sale and delivery of certain posts to
be used as coal mine props.
The posts were on the property
of the defendant, located in Seneca
township, Noble county. They were
to be cut into proper length of 81
inches by the plaintiffs, hauled to
the highway by the defendant, who
was to have the sum of one and a
half cents for each post so cut and
hauled, when the same were sold.
According to the petition, the
plaintiffs Immediately began pre-
pairing the posts. The first consign-
ment consisted of 5000 posts. The
posts were finished by the plant
ifs, hauled to the highway by the
defendant, sold by the plaintiff and
the agreed price paid to the defend
ant.
But since the time of entering this
contract, the petition states, the de-
fendant has sold his farm together
with said posts and has consequent
ly placed himself in the position
where he cannot carry out the spec
ificatiopc in fba contract
All of this has amounted to a
detriment and damage to the plain
tiffs in the amount of $1,000.00
The damage suit involves three
prominent farmers of eastern Noble
county and when it appears on the
court calendar, will probably arouse
interest.
There is of course the possibility
that it will be settled out of court
and not come before jury.
