Only 45O Veterans In Noble County Have
Retained Their CI Insurance. Resulting
In Family Protection Of Over S3.l5O.0O0
Only One Third Of the 1852 Veterans Eligible
Have Bothered To Hold Government Insurance

Columbus, July 16-OP Noble
county stands to lose approximately
$6,300,000 unless more thar two
thirds of the county's World War III
veterans reinstate the CT insurance
they have allowed to lapse.
Veterans Administration spokes-
men here are puzzled by the appar-
ent paradox the returned service
men presents-he fought all over
the world to make life more secure
for others, and now he is ignoring
his own best chance for security for
himself and his family.
Slowly Ohio's veterans are begin
ming to realize their new obligation,
and 10000 of them have reinstated
SITS, 100000 worth of insurance
since the first of the year, bringing
to 275,000 the number covered now.
Approximately only $50 Noble
county veterans have taken up all
or part of their policies, the branch
office of the Veterans Administra-
ton revealed here this week. This
will give $3,150,000 protection for
their families and continued pros
perity for their community.
The future civic and business
prosperity of the county will be
determined to large degree by the
number of county veterans who
provide for the comfort and secur-
ity of their wives and children
since the number of living veterans
and members of their families will
reach peak of 43 percent Of the
population of the county within the
next five years, insurance statisti-
clans pointed out.
The more of Noble county's l,352
veterans who hold on to their insur-
ance, the better it will be for the
county, veterans spokesmen say,
and every veteran who is self-sus-
tanning, reasonably secure citizen
helps to guarantee the well being OF
his community, his state and his ma
ton.
The Veterans Administration,
concerned with the present and flu
ture welfare of veterans, takes part
OF the blame for the high lapse rate
OF GI insurance policies because the
type of service it has been render
ing has not been up to the standards
veterans can reasonably expect
However, the handicaps under

Huge Shovel In
Brookfield Twp.
Now Operating
Strip Mining Moves
Ahead On Gigantic
Scale In County

One of the largest of its kind ever
to be built, the huge shovel to be
used in the coal shipping fields in
Brookfield township, Noble county,
began running Sunday on a 24-hour
daily schedule. More than five
months were required in assembling
this shovel in the Cumberland field,
built by the Commercial Fuel Co,
Pittsbdrg, Kansas and purchased by
the Ohio Power Co.
Loading of the coal into railroad
cars is expected to begin in about
two weeks. When capacity is
reached, 20 cars per day will be
loaded or total of $500 tons. A
small shovel will pick up the coal
and load it into trucks to be hauled
to the coal washer.
For use in the process, seven
Euclid trucks have been taken to
the area in this county, each with a
capacity of 40 tons. Each 40-ton load
can be ground, washed and in the
railroad car in ten minutes from
the time it is dumped into the
washer.
Four men compose the crew oper.
ating the power shovel, which i:
capable of moving 10000 cubic yard.
of material in eight hours. The
scoop measuring 80 cubic yards
weighed 125 tons and required three
railroad cars in transporting it anc
the crane from the factory.
The complete shovel was brough-
to the fields in SO railroads cars
making the trip at the crawling rats
of IL miles per hour.
Two lakes have been built il
Brookfield township for use il
washing the coal and a two and i;
half mile railroad extension ha.
been constructed from Cumberland
to the coalfields into Noble county
The coal washer, installed at tn
ltipple, can handle 5000 tons in eigh
hours. When the stripping operation
gets In to full swing, it is expected
to employ rs to 100 men.
Many Noble countians and other
have been interested in this gigan
tic stripping shovel-the only one o
its kind in the state of Ohio-anC
hundreds have flocked to Brookfiel,
township to see it in action.
Taking on the aspects of a coun
ty fair, Caldwell and Cumberland
have been filled to capacity for tn,
past several months with coal oper
ators and workers, most of whom
are from Pittsburg, Kansas.

Traffic Accidents
Boost Insurance
Rates In County
Noble Appears I'm
Lowest Bracket
Covering State

Noble county is in territory % OF
the lowest in classification of insur-
ance rates, according to a local i'm
surance agency, headed by Ray Els
wick, who said that the expense OF
owning and driving an automobile
has risen partly because of the in
crease in the number of traffic ac-
cidents.
Cooperating with the safety
checks and drives, now being wageo
by the Ohio state highway patrol
local officials are checking cars
every day at the Noble county jail
most of the owners driving in Of
their own accord. After the car ha.
been checked and no fault found, {
safety sticker is issued, which in it.
self eliminates being checked agar
by the state highway patrolmen.
Elswick pointed out that the cal
owners in Noble county will pay
$3.50 for liability insurance on ;
car but an owner In Youngstown
which is in the highest bracket, will
pay $28.00 for the same protection
or two-thirds more.
Accidents are not only expensiv,
to those involved, but also to others
according to the insurance man, VIII,
pointed out that the high cost of &C
cidents has boosted automobile In
surance rates in general since wa
time travel restrictions have beel
lifted.
Rates on comprehensive coverage
liability and property damage pol
icies have risen considerably in re
cent months, being almost doubl
what they were during the wa
when fewer cars were on the roa,
and greater care was exercised ol
preserving those In operation. An
it is likely the rates will continue t
rise unless motorists become NOR
safety conscious and fewer accident
occur, it was pointed out.
Auto insurance rates are com
puted on the factors of cost of doin
business and cost of accidents. Tha
latter cost goes up when the acci
dent frequency increases. Irsuranc
men also explained that the cost @
property damage by an automobil
has ikewis' jumped greatly, risin
as much ( per cent in receu
years. Person. injuries also involv
greater expense.
Territories are classified by insur
ance rate men according to their &C
cident cost records.
Noble county is now in the loves
classification and it will remai
there as long as accidents are ker
at a minimum
