Secrest Takes
Oath 0t Office
Wednesday
New Office
Located In
Room 1905

Robert T. Secrest, Noble coun-
ty, was sworn in at noon, We'd
nesday, Jan. 5, as a member of
the 91st Congress and for the
next two years he will officially
re present the 18th congression-
al district in the halls of Con-
gress.
It has been a long road since
1912, when the former congress
man resigned to enter the navy,
then won his old job back last
November when he defeated
Incumbent P. w. Griffiths, of
Marietta, who had served the
three terms since that time.
Secrest went back to Wash
ington with a battered suitcase
containing 1000 unanswered let
ters which he has received from
his constituents throughout the
district, and which he will an
sWer personally in the coming
mCaths.
When he left for Washington,
Secrest left this final word to
the people of the district:
Il want everyone to feel as
free to write me as he would to
write to his nearest relatives
no matter what he wants or
what the problem is".
Secrest has been noted in the
past for being an independent
voter but he is confident that
two major bills will be passed
and rapidly. They are bill to
supplant the Taft Hartley law
and one to include broader So
cial security program.
Of special interest to many
was his comment that he is
working on legislation for fed
eral bonus for veterans. The
new congressman believes that
such a bonus is inevitable and
that the government should be-
gin now to make provision for
paying it. He suggests that two
billion dollars be set aside an
nually until a sufficient sum ac-
cumulates to pay the 16 million
veterans.
The bonus which Secrest has
in mind, the details of which
have not been worked out,
would provide an average 1000
for each veteran.
Secrest plans to return to
Noble county at least once a
month while Congress is in ses-
sion.
His new office is located in
room 1905 on the sixth floor of
the new House of Representa-
tives office building.

County Highways
To Get Treatment

An unusually broad program,
concerning the county highways.
including ditching. grading and
surfacing with stone, is being
planned for Noble county, ac-
cording to Engineer Homer Wee
don, who began his second term
in this capacity, Monday morn
ing.
Engineer Weldon also said
that all highways in the county
system, now hard surfaced,
would receive a bIacktop re-
surfacing job this spring.
Due in part to the weather
and the amount of work which
they have received, Engineer
Weldon said that the county
highways were in exceptionally
good shape.
The broad and sweeping road
program will affect every high
way in the county and gets un-
der way as soon as possible.
Engineer Weldon said there
would be no change in the Of
flee personnel.

and chest decorations in addition
to the severe shock. He and the
Rossiter brothers were admitted
to Bethesda hospital and Reed
received treatment at Good Sa-
maritan hospital, GAINESVILLE.
According to investigating Of
ficials from GAINESVILLE, young
Rossiter, who is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mark Rossiter, was driving
a pickup truck with his brother
and Johnson as passengers, while
Reed was driving a Ford coupe
The two vehicles collided
head-on, officials said, after the
truck had struck another auto,
driven by William J. Arnold, of
GAINESVILLE.
Arnold told the officers that
he had stopped on the two lane
highway to await the passing of
Reeds car, which was going to-
ward GAINESVILLE. Arnold said he
planned to make a turn into a
driveway.
The truck, travelling from
GAINESVILLE, where Johnson had
delivered some cattle at a live
stock sale, approached Arnold's
car and apparently young Ros-
sitter misjudged his speed, strik-
ing the back of Arnold's car in
swerving to pass, then crashing
into Reeds auto.
Reed was enroute to Zanes-
vile to attend the evening
classes of the Ohio University
branch. After receiving treat
ment, he was dismissed to his
home on Spruce street, Tuesday
evening.
Harold Rossiter was dismissed
from the hospital shortly after
receiving treatment and left on
Tuesday for Fort Knox, KY,
where he was due to report in
from furlough. His brother, Car
los Rossiter, was also dismissed.
Mr.. Johnson was much i'm
proved Tuesday, and it is ex-
pected that he will be dismissed
to his home this weekend.

Ruling Changed
On 3rd Class Mail
Mailed Through
POstOffice I'm Bulk

Effective Monday of this week
fee of $40. annually will be
charged for mailing of third
class matter in bulk lots, accord
ing to Postmaster Thurman
Smith, Jr.
No bulk mailings of third class
matter will now be accepted at
the local postoffice until the fee
has been paid, Smith said.
Formerly no fee was required
for mailing bulk items when pre-
cancelled stamps were used.
Bulk mailers were required to
have a permit, for which no fee
was charged.
Without use Of pre-cancelled
stamps, a fee of $40 was charged
for permit. This permit is good
continuously provided that it is
used at least once a year. If not
used once annually, a new per-
NIT must be purchased.
Those who do not have permits
or have allowed their permits to
elapse because of lack of use
must pay $40 for new one and
an additional $40 fee annually,
according to Postmaster Smith.
The new postoffice department
ruling is that all holders of bulk
mailing permits must pay the
$40 fee annually whether or not
they use pre-cancelled stamps.
There are a great number of
users of the bulk mailing privi-
lege in Caldwell and commun-
ity, Smith said.

term by opening the tax books
for the current collection,
$3,0O4.95 was taken into the

State Highway
Buys New Site
South 0t Town
Norval Robey To
Build On Location
Used For Loading

Plans for the purchase of ap-
proximately five acres of land
south Of town by the state high
way department have been ap-
proved by the State Control
Beard, Columbus, and the deed
for the land is expected to be
turned over to the department
in the very near future.
The land is located on u. S.
Route 81, south of Caldwell and
is adjacent to the Noble Hatch
cry farm and the old Norval
Robey railroad siding and stor-
age plant. The land is owned by
Dr. and Mrs. c. F. Thompson.
Tentative plans by the high
way department call for the
storage of all materials at the
new site and all equipment will
be parked there. The local gar
age, across from the Chet Hayes
Sunoco station will be used as
repair headquarters for all
equipment. The moving of equip
ment and material is expected to
start next week.
According to highway officials
the site offers several advantages
which are not enjoyed at the
present location. The land ADULTS
the Pennsylvania Railroad and
affords room for a ten car siding
which can be used for the un-
loading of aggregate, tar, ashes,
salt and other materials which
formerly had to be unloaded at
the siding near the depot and
hauled to the highway garage
south of town for storage.
Highway workers from the
Noble county area have finished
the unloading of 480 tons of
stone at Warner. This Stag will
be used by the department for
the patching of State Route l45
from the Noble county line near
Stafford to Lower Salem.
The most extensive patching
operations will take place from
the junction of routes 260 and
las at Road Fork and continuing
south to Lower Salem. This
route, in good repair last. year,
has suddenly gone to pieces un-
der the strain placed on it by
strip mining operations in the
area.
The maintenance crew of the
Kent Bros. Construction COM
pany, Columbus, has begun work
of grading the Florence hill just
north of Caldwell, which will be
used as a detour when actual
construction of the bridge on
State Route 285 is started. Traf-
fic will be detoured past the
John Hayes farm and come out
on Route 81 near the Noble
Products company.
The loading site now used by
the state highway department is
owned by Norval Robey and
eventually he will construct the
future home for his Ford agency
on this site.
