Council Approves Extensive Road
Improvement Program In Caldwell
Which Will Get Underway Soon
SAFETY TIP
OF THE WEEK

If you happen to dream about
killing a bear, that's lucky, ac-
cording to dream books. But if
you dream about seeing a bear,
that's bad-you're warned to
avoid overconfidence and to be
careful when travelling.
Dreamers ,and all people who
tend to get sleep after too
many hours behind the wheel,
need that warning. Fatigue is an
opiate-reactions become slow
er, judgment dulls, although the
driver is hardly aware of it.
Lulled by the rhythm of the en-
CINE, hypnotized by the ribbon
of road ahead, an overtired
brain often blanks out for a
short second-long enough for
the wheels to wander from the
road, long enough for a fatal
sideswipe or head-on collision.
National Conservation Bureau
safety specialists say the best
cure for fatigue is prevention
limiting hours of driving; pull
ing up at intervals for cup of
coffee or bite to eat. Dream
ing of bears is always luckier in
bed than on the highway.

Conservation TO
Continue I'm County

Conservation activities by Noble
county farmers under the 1947 Agri-
culture Conservation program have
been resumed according to chairman
William H. Archer of the county
agricultural conservation committee,
with headquarters on Main street,
Caldwell.
Uncertainty in the amount of
funds available for use this year
necessitated suspension of the pro-
gram for a period of several weeks.
The situation has now been clarified
and ACP activities have been re-
sumed, he stated.
Surveys are now being made by
committeeman to determine the
amount of work done under the
program during the first five months
of this year, he stated. This will give
some indication of the extent of
funds available for practices during
the remaining five months of 1947.
Funds available nationally for prac-
tices under ACP will be somewhat
less for 1947 than they were in
1916, Archer said.
Chairman Archer pointed out that
one of the biggest problems farmers
face in resumption of practices will
be in obtaining and spreading con-
servation materials such as lime,
phosphates, and other materials and
In obtaining the services of contrac-
tors to construct stock-water dams,
terraces and other practices requir-
ing dirt-moving equipment. How
ever, in the past, this has not been
so important in Noble county.
The local program will continue
under the same setup and with the
same group of officials, who were
named by the committeeman in each
township.

State Highway
Constructs 7 New
Bridges In County
Including New Steel
Bridge On Route lat
In Beaver Township

Five bridges have been rebuilt
on state route $50 from Dexter City
to Middleburg and a new steel
bridge is being constructed on state
route lat, Just outside of Batesville,
according to an announcement made
today by Harley C.. Wheeler, super
intendent of highways in Noble
county.
The bridge construction on the
Middleburg road was necessary due
to the hauling of strip mined coal
from this area Two large culverts,
five and six foot, will also be re-
placed on this highway and the new
culverts were unloaded last Friday
at Dexter City.
In addition to the above, seven
local bridges throughout the state
system of roads in the county have
been repainted by local maintenance
crews. The five large bridges were
painted two months ago, under con-
tract.
The local highway department is
now pulling bitches on their section
of the skyline drive into Seneca
Lake and the requistion for Stag
has been played. This joins with
state route STA at Coen's church, the
section approaching the lake being
contract job with the H. w. Holt
company in charge. This end of the
project is also rapidly nearing COM
pletion.
The skyline drive has long been
advocated by this county for it now
gives Noble countians direct route
to Seneca Lake. 1t should be in use
during the month of September.
A local maintenance crew from
the state highway department is also
doing some patch work on state
route 215 which extends from Belle
Valley to Hoskinsville. This will
later be awarded as contract job
for complete resurfacing.
The aerial directions on top of the
state highway garage, West street,
has been repainted as well as the
name of the town. The garage
proper is receiving a new coat of
paint and new American Flag was
recently purchased. -.r.

Business Properties
Change Ownership

The transfer of real estate is stag
ing comeback in Caldwell with
the announcement today of the, pur-
chase of new business buildings or
and near the public square.
Miss Lena Alter is the new owner
of the Kane building on Main street
previously owned by Harold Kane
of Weston, w. Va, a son of Mrs
Matte Kane, formerly of Caldwell
Miss Alter has occupied this build
ing since March 16, 1928, when she
started in business for herself Prior
to that time, the Friedman Bros
maintained a business here, begin
ming June 6, 1907. Miss Alter was
associated with her uncles for over
20 years in the merchandise busi-
ness, before establishing the Lena
Alter store in 1923.
Last week Ross Schafer pur-
chased the building adjacent to Miss
Alter, now occupied by Brady
Miller Howard Schafer, local real
estate broker, handled both trans
actions.

Band Uniforms
Received By Club

The long awaited and much dis.
cussed new uniforms for member!
of the Caldwell high school band
were received in Caldwell, Monday
evening, by Semon's Dry Cleaning
Plant, the local agency from whom
the uniforms were ordered.
The brilliantly colored scarlet and
gray uniforms will not be worn un-
til the initial appearance of the band
at the opening of the football sea-
son in Caldwell, according to L. E.
Potts, president of the Booster club,
the organization that is responsible
for the band uniforms, the new
athletic field near the high school,
as well as the revitalized athletic
department in the local schools.
The uniforms were purchased at a
cost of approximately 100000, all
of which has been raised by the
diligent labor of the Booster club
members and the public.
The football season has been
scheduled to open on Friday night,
September IL, but there is a strong
possibility that the first game with
Parkersburg Little Reds will be
changed to Thursday, September II.
If changed to Thursday, Parkers-
burg will bring their national
champion band to the night attrac-
ton adding another feature which
should result in the largest gate re-
ceipts in the history of high school
football here.
The opening of the football season
under lights, the appearance of the
Caldwell high school band in their
new uniforms, the powerful draw
ing power of the Parkersburg high
school band and the game itself
would provide Caldwell and Noble
county with one of its best attrac-
tions in years.
Announcement as to the change
in date, if and when it becomes Off
cial, will be made at a later date.

$4,000 Will Be Spent
To Improve Unpaved
Roads In Village

The Caldwell village council has
approved the expenditure of $4,000
from the street fund for the i'm
prove of several streets within the
corporation limit, according to an
announcement made today by Mayor
S. M. Secrest
The project will get underway inn
mediately, possibly this week, de-
pendent on the weather, according
to the Mayor.
The North and East side of the
Caldwell public square, extending
from the Farmers & Merchants
bank to the Gillesie Drug Store will
be given good sealing coat or top
surface. The South and West side
of the square will not be surfaced
since state route Il and 78 occupy
this zone and all repair must be
done by the state highway depart
mert.
Mayor Secrest said that the top
surface would do much to preserve
this particular section of the square
and that in the future it would be
treated regularly to prevent any
deterioration.
The street maintenance program,
which has long been advocated In
this community, will include pract-
tically every un-paved highway
within the corporation limit.
Cliff road, which extends from
the ST. Philomena Catholic church
to the homes of Emma o. Upton and
William Rice on North street will
receive special treatment, is it is
reported that this road has slipped
badly in several places. 1t will be
graded, slagged and treated and
eventually a hard surface will be
laid.
Spruce Street, extending from the
L. Wheeler home to the Lee Mitch
ell property and Railroad street, ex-
tending from the North street
bridge to its intersection with Fair
ground street at the home of "Jum"
Clark, ST., will receive hard sur
face treatment, as well as a part of
Belford and Spruce streets on the
West side.
The program includes several
alleys and all will probably receive
Stag treatment
Mayor Secrest said that the coun-
Gil plans to extend this road pro-
gram over period of several years,
treating these same roads the second
and third year until the tar bound
surface results.
In its efforts to preserve the high
ways within Caldwell, the council
is also checking and diverting the
increased passage of coal trucks
from the village highways to the
state highways.
Members of the state highway
patrol, Cambridge, are cooperating
in this movement as they prefer the
coal trucks to travel on state high
ways. This permits the checking for
overlooking, faulty brakes, and
other mechanical defects.
The local council, with Mayor Se-
crest at the helm, is going all out in
their road program, which should
please each and every property
owner in Caldwell.

The Worst Section
In State OF Ohio

The safety campaign throughout
the state of Ohio continues each
week, with officials and others i'm
pressing upon the motorists the inn
portance of driving carefully with
a minimum loss of life on the high
ways.
During a recent safety broadcast,
coming out of Columbus, the three
mile stretch of highway between
Caldwell and Belle Valley on u. S.
Route 81 was said to be the worst in
the entire state-from the stand
point of the number of accidents
which occur on this comparatively
straight stretch of road.
Noble countians can do much to
eliminate these accidents by rigidly
observing all driving rules and in
dividually aiding the state con-
Quoted safety campaign.

Columbus, Aug. 21-(OP)-Noble
county property owners will pay a
tax levy of 1.0226 mills per year
TO help retire the bonds that will
be required to compensate Ohio
residents who served in the armed
forces in World War ii.
For each $1,000 of valuation, all
Ohio property owners will pay $1.02
annually or total of $15.34 for the
entire 16-year period of the bond
issue.
This tax levy was computed by
Fred F. Becker, chief of the division
of county affairs in the state tax
alton department, and is based on
the assumption that $4,000, 900 will
be transferred from the general
revenue fund for bond retirement,
that the bonds are issued at two
Dercent interest rate and that the
total tax valuation of the state re-
mains at $1I, 900. 900, 900.
