State Roadside Park
Damaged By VandalS

Vandalism in Noble county
reached its peak over the past
weekend when the roadside park
on u. S. route 81, between Cald-
well and Belle Valley, was over
run and partially destroyed.
According to state highway Of
ficials, trees were knocked over
and limbs torn from them. Fences
were torn down and garbage
from the neighboring dump used
by the city of Caldwell was scat
tered over the grounds, A new
pump, which had just been in
stalled, was broken and other acts
Of DETACHMENT were committed
Although the park was not as
spacious as some cared for by
the state, it was one of the most
widely used on u. S. route 81 be-
cause of its location, being the
only one between Cambridge and
Marietta.

County Option
Drive Underway
Proposed Change To
State Constitution

Petitions are now being circul-
ated throughout Noble county by
the ministerial association in an
effort to secure proposed
amendment to the state consti-
tuition, which would eventually
result in county wide option
election.
Under the existing laws in the
state of Onic. local option cleo
, tion can be fnsld in any one Of
the political divisions Of the
county. In other words, Caldwell
could and did vote dry, while
Belle Valley voted wel.
Under the proposed change, the
option election could be held on
a county wide basis and, in the
event it went dry, not single
subdivision could sell intoxicat-
ing liquors
| Rev. John Guffey, Of South
Olive. received the petitions
through the Temperance League
of Ohio, Columbus. Mrs. Billa
Patterson, who is serving as the
president OF Noble county W. G..
1 T. u, is also taking an active
part in the canvass.
Each petition requires t0O sig
natures and the ca1HxBs is to con-
tinue through 41e summer
months and early fall. The goal
is 100000 or more signatures in
the state of Ohio.
The secretary Of state then acts
on the validity Of the petitions.
# they are approved in a suffi-
cient number, the voters in Noble
county and the state Of Ohio
would decide if they favor 4
county wide election. This would
occur at the November election.
The county wide option vote
would probably not be held until
the following year, in the event
the voters approved such an
action.

" l was highly DESTROYS to get

town Of Fulda" declared Mr..
Wayne Jordan, director Of the
school of journalism of the Uni
versity of Maine, Thursday, when
visiting our EDITORS office. He

Woods, editor of the ''Wenatchee
Daily World"
At present both gentlemen are

formations concerning the status

proposals for desired improve
mentS.
We took advantage of the op-
portunity to ask Mr.. Jordan for
details about the American
Fulda. He stated that his grand
father had lived some miles from
the village Of Fulda. In visiting
his homeland, he has often been
at Fulda. It is not far from the
Ohio river, north of Marietta and
belongs to Noble county. The
village was settled about 1880 by
German immigrants. AT least
some of them originated from the
German F'ulda. At present the
village is inhabited by some
hundred people, predominantly
Catholic. 1t possesses stately
church. The inhabitants are ex-
clusively farmers, living on we'll
kept estates. Naturally did the
German colonists chose territory
of character similar to their
home conditions. Fulda in Ohio
lies in the rolling hills. The soil

1000 KIN. east.
We requested Mr.. Jordan to
inquire, after the return to his
homeland, which family names
were predominant in the Amer
ican Fulda. 1t might be possible
that many an old German name
could be yet found in the Ohio
Fulda. Mr.. Jordan agreed ard
furthermore promised to propose
to the inhabitants of the Ohio
Fulda parish occasionally to send
some reminders in the form OF
care-packages; it certainly would
cement friendship between young
and old Fulda.
In the meantime volumes Of
"Buchenblatter' sBeechleavcs'
dated 193O-3l, have been pre-
sented which report that there is
not one but eight Fuldas in this
country, and another onesin Can
ada, making total of ten in the
world.
Mr.. Woods was intensely inter
ested in the Bishopseat of Fulda
and its objects of interest. He will
worthily respect them in the re-
ports of his journeys. We visited
with the American guests the
meeting of the city officials in
the Marble Hall where the cleo
