Tesla Bros. Are
Defendants Again
Damages Sought For
Making Land Valueless

Testa Excavating Co., of Cald-
we'll and Cleveland, engaged in
strip mining operations in Aure-
lius township, bordering Noble
and Washington counties, be-
came a defendant Tuesday in an
other law suit resulting from
their operations.
This time the suit is for $1,620
damages asked for by J. H. Hut
chins and Nena Hutchins. Eileen
Jeffers, who owns land adjoining
the Hutchins farm and her hus-
band, E. E. Jeffers, are also man,
ed defendants. Other defendants
named in the suit, filed through
Fogle g. Fogle, Marietta, are
Testa Brothers, Inc, of Caldwell,
Frank Testa and Dominic Testa
doing business as the Testa Ex-
cavating Co., partnership.
The same plaintiffs on March
IL were granted temporary re-
straining order against the firm
for hauling coal across their land.
In the suit filed Tuesday at
Marietta for damages, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hutchins allege that the
mining operations along ridge
on the Jeffers premises resulted
in the dirt removed being piled
toward their lands. This, they al
lege, caused excessive weight,
creating a slip or slide, making
valueless 20 acres of land.
They ask $500 damages to
the land and $120 for 80 loads OF
manure used to ready the land
for planting.

the full amount of $4,000.
General Goble said that up to
Wednesday, the check writing
machine operators were busy
building up a backlog of checks

Schools Observe
Arbor Day By
Planning Trees
Seeding Trees Sent
By Ohio Reclamation
To Local Coal Area

Making sure that Arbor Day
was observed by the schools of
eastern and southeastern Ohio,
the Ohio Reclamation association
again mailed a seeding tree this
year to each high school in the
coal area of the state, including
Caldwell and the seven high
schools in the Noble county sys-
tenn.
Very little, if any, ceremony
marked the planting of the trees
by the local schools and simplic-
ity marked the observance in
each instance.
J. Harry Colley, superintend-
ent of the Belle Valley schools,
said they received their Seeding
tree, and in addition, planted 100
more which they had ordered
from the Soil Conservation dis
trict. This is the largest single
planting of trees by any of the
schools. All were set out on the
hillside directly in the rear of
the school building.
At the Caldwell schools, prin-
cipal Gilbert Weekley supervised
the planting of the Ohio Reclaim
alton seeding tree. 1t was like
wise planted at the rear of the
high school building.
Seeding trees were also re-
ceived at Harriettsville, Dexter
City, Summerfield, Sarahsville
Batesville and Fulda and all
were planted in simple Arbol
Day ceremonies last Friday.
In the belief that the old-fash-
ioned practice of planting a tree
on Arbor Day was the most
practical means of bringing the
need for reforesting vast areas o1
Ohio to the attention of oul
youth, the Ohio Reclamation as,
sociation started a "plant-a-t tree
program last year and is contin.
,uing it this year.
. The Seeding trees especially
selected for individual planting
were wrapped in waterproof
cardboard tubes and sent by
mail. The roots were packed II
Sphagnum moss and wrapped
with wax paper to prevent then
from drying out during shipment
The Ohio Reclamation assoc
iation is a non-profit organiza
ton of strip mine coal operator!
in the state engaged in revegetat
ing the strip mine lands. They
are the largest tree planters il
Ohio. For the past two year.
they have planted we'll over ;
million trees each year and arr
now engaged in this years plant
ing of around a million trees.
Many of the schools wrote tt
the association thanking them fol
the tree and expressing the opin
ion that without it Arbor Day
would have had no particular
significance for their students.

Noble Countians
Will Go To Polls
AT May Primary
Heavy Vote Expected
AS Climax To Faction
Fight In Party

Despite the existing lethargy
in the primary election, May 4,
in the surrounding counties, it is
expected that a record casting
vote will be made in Noble
county, according to members of
the local election board.
All of the presiding judges in
the "a voting precincts of the
county will convene in Caldwell,
Saturday afternoon, where they
will receive final instructions
from Harry Sorg, president of
the board. The necessary sup
plies for each precinct will also
be given to the judges, all of
which will remain under lock
and key until $50 a. m, Tues
day morning.
It is expected there will be an
exceptionally heavy vote on the
Republican ticket, due to var
ious reasons. Perhaps the biggest
vote drawing fight is the split in
the Republican party of the
county and the efforts of each
faction to gain control, through
their election of the central COM
mitteemen. The Republicans
have a fight on in practically
every precinct.
Beginning with the fight for
state central committee from
this district, right on down
through the county ticket, there
is opposition in practically every
office
Many are watching the fight
for state central committee, as
John Beckett, of Cumberland, is
attempting to un-seat Fred H.
Johnson, of GAINESVILLE, incumb-
ent as we'll as the state chairman.
The fight against Johnson is said
to have gained momentum in
Noble county and consequently
of special interest.
George G. Philpot and Edmund
James are still battling it out for
the nomination as representative
to General Assembly and both
sides are predicting victory.
James has conducted hard and
extensive campaign against in
cumbent Philpot.
Interest then goes to the race
for the two nominations as coun-
ty commissioners. There are six
seeking office with two to be
elected. Frank Craig, A. r. Hicks,
D. G. McVicker and Halls E.
Sullivan are the new candidates.
Williams and Rayner are seeking
their second term.
Dwight F., Wiley is conducting
hard campaign to un-seat
George E. Bates, who is serving
as county auditor by appoint
ment. Both are veterans.
Gene F. Miller and George L.
Thompson are coming down the
home stretch for the nomination
as clerk of courts. Miller has not
campaigned extensively, due to
injuries received in a recent auto
accident.
For county sheriff, John N
Christopher, Jr., and Fred M
Davis are campaigning for the
nomination.
The only contest on the demo
cratic ticket is the race for coun-
ty commissioners, two to be NOM
mated. haywood Love, Norris H.
Bigley and Harry Miley are max
ing close race. All other candi-
dates are unopposed.
Every citizen of Noble county
should cast his or her vote at the
| May primary next Tuesday. II
is your duty, civic obligation and
a necessity.
