To a great many people, the
most important functions of the
United Nations are the political
ones. In fact, many people be-

works solely in the political field,
Because the crucial problem Of
concluding peace treaties with

After the second World War

Vital Statistics
Merged In County
Village Clerk Given
Additional Duties

According to word received
from w. H, Veigel, head of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, Colum-
bus, Violet Morgareidge, clerk of
the village of Caldwell, has re-
ceived jurisdiction over several
new townships in the county. Her
duties consist of recording births
and deaths in the county, and is
suing burial permits and for
warding this information to the
Columbus office.
Mrs. Morgareidge has been the
local official for the Columbus Of
flee for some time but only re-
Gently acquired control over a
larger part of the county. This
was done by the Columbus office
in keeping with their policy of
,centralizing under one office in
stead of having a clerk in each
of the various townships.
1t was felt by the office that
having one clerk in each town
ship caused undue hardship on
doctors and undertakers in that
they must get their certificates
from the township in which their
client lived. This handicap be-
came increasingly difficult in
Noble county because of the lack
of adequate telephone service.
New townships and villages
coming under the jurisdiction of
the Caldwell office are: Dexter
City, Jackson township, jefferson
township, Belle Valley, Caldwell
village, Sarahsville village, Cen
ter township, Brookfield town
ship, Noble township, Olive town
ship, Elk township, Enoch town
ship Sharon village and Sharon
township.

briggs Auto Co.
To New Location
VFW Leases Room
To Supply Store

The briggs Auto Supply Store,
now situated in the Gray build
ing. Main street. will be moved to
West street where they will oc-
cupy the space now used by the
Unemployment Compensation Of
flee, according to store manager,
Bob Blake.
The briggs Auto Store has oc-
cupied the Gray building for
some eight years. taking over the
lease on the building when they
first opened their business in
Caldwell, November, 1940.
At that time Caldwell and
Noble county was in dire need of
an auto parts store as most
mechanics and auto dealers had
to go out of town for parts to use
in their various jobs.
1t was understood that the
building, owned by the local VFW
post will be vacated by the I'm
employment Bureau about July
Is and that the office will be
moved upstairs.
Members of the VFW and of
the Unemployment Bureau felt
that they were occupying too
much space considering the time
that they were actually in Cald-
we'll, and with business rooms al
most impossible to lease that the
move would help to alleviate the
situation.
Extensive repairs are being
planned by the Gray family for
this business building, which adj
joins their store. Two apartments
will be completed on the second
floor, in addition to the business
room
