SO THEY
TELL ME!

Now that the July 5th celebra-
ton in Caldwell is a matter OF
history, let's look behind the
scenes to get some idea of the gl-
pantic task in preparation of same,
For instance, members of the
Band Mothers. Club prepared
over 1000 hamburger patties,
wrapped them individually in
waxed paper, to say nothing OF
frying most of them.
1t required the volunteer serv-
ices of at least 60 men and women
for this stand alone. As presi-
dent of the band mothers club,
Mrs. Mary Marshall was IN
charge and did an excellent JOB
OF supervision, with the AID oil
several others.
1t is particularly gratifying to
note the number Of women, who
volunteered their services at this
stand, when contacted, although
they have no direct connection
with the band.
This is only one illustration but
dbes much to reveal how depend
ent we are on townspeople for the
success or failure of public cele-
bration.
In the opinion of many, the
Gypsies were the outstanding
float during the July 5th cele-
bration. AS matter of fact, they
were so realistic that many local
people thought load of gypsles
| had arrived in Caldwell and Sc
curely locked their homes. Much
time and effort went into this
creation and all those who parti-
cipated are to be compllmented
for their originality.
A total of COLL bonus checks
were mailed from Columbus Sat
urday to Ohio veterans of World
War III, setting a new high for 9
single day, the Ohio compensa-
ltion fund reported.
| Saturdays mailing raised the
| total number of checks to III, 81
! and the amount OF payments te
| more than $58,000,000.
: Applications from Noble coun
ty, covering the four months
| period, totaled IT'S, according t
i Chester w. Goble of the fund
] Goble said that more than 10000
| checks have been mailed and tht
rate of mailing is in excess o
| 5000 per day.
Marjorie McNutt Allen, Omak
Wash, wrote recently to he
cousin, Mary Baker, Belle. Val
ley, concerning the disastrou
flood which struck that commun
ity several weeks ago. Mrs. Allel
was formerly of the CaldWel
q community.
II She says in part, "We were on
