Extensive remodeling by the
Gray family has resulted in
Caldwell having one of the most,
modern and up-to-date clothing
stores for women, children and
infants in southeastern Ohio.
Remodeling of the enlarged
store began nine months ago
with A. G. Schoeppner, local
contractor, in charge.
The former DR.. c. F. Thomp-
son building, which is adjacent
to the old Gray building, was
purchased and the two stores
have now been combined into a
large and modernistic store.
Since the death of his father,
Simon F. Gray, July 18, 1945, Mr..
and Mrs. Clark Gray have been
interested in the local store with
Mrs. S. F. Gray.
The business location of Gray's
store is located on Lots | and 2
On the village platt of Caldwell.
When the remodeling was
started by Contractor Schoep-
pner, only the shell of both
buildings remained. They then
completely remodeled, including
the first and second stories.
There are two apartments on
the second floor of the second
Gray building, one of which is
occupied by Mrs. S. F: Gray. Mr..
and Mrs. Clark Gray occupy the
apartment which covers the Sec
ond floor of the original building.
The new blonde birch fixtures
were installed by the Robert K.
Morrison company from Pitts
burgh, Pa. 1t was especially de-
signed for the local store.
The new modernistic glass
front was installed by the Zanes-
vile branch of the Pittsburgh
Plate Glass company of that city.
1t features the new wine colered
Carrara glass, trimmed with
white blocks.
The asphalt tile floor covering
was laid by the William Hill
store in Caldwell and all lighting
fixtures were placed by Vernon
Caldwell of the Sharon commun-
ity.
Mrs. S. F. Gray and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark Gray are receiving
the congratulations of their
many friends in this community
on their grand reopening, Satur-
day, Sept. 10.

Chicken Exhibit
AT County Fair
Was Outstanding
Fourth Club
Members Take
Top HonOrs

Dale Smith, a member of the
Crooked Tree All club, won top
prize money in the Junior class
poultry show held at the Noble
county fair. The event, the first
of its kind to be held here, was
sponsored by the Noble Hatchery
and Buckey's Hatchery, of Cald-
well.
According to A. R. Boyer, head
of the poultry department, over
one hundred birds were entered
in the show by club members
from eight Noble county All
clubs. Four breeds, New Hamp-
shires, White Wyandottes, Bar
red Rocks and White Rocks were
represented in the Junior COM
petition.
The new poultry house at the
fair was again crowded with
some of the finest birds in the
state. According to officials over
four hundred fowls were on dis
play at the local exhibit. This
was by far the largest exhibit
ever to be displayed.
The competition in the Junior
class was especially keen with
sixteen All club members vieing
for top honors in the show. Five
monies were awarded in the con-
test. Other winners were Norma
Hurst, of Belle Valley, second;
Don Ziler, Brookfield, third;
Gale Smith, Crooked Tree,
fourth, and John Cutler, Sum-
merfield, fifth. Prize money was
first. $1,000; second, $500; third,
$500; fourth, $400 and fifth,
$2.0O.f
New Hampshires swept honors
in the show, taking four out of
five top places. Miss Hurst's pen
of White Rocks was the only
other breed to break into the
win column against the strong
competition offered by the New
Hampshires. Pens were made up
of either three cockerels, three
pullets or one cockerel and two
pullets
The poultry show as a whole
was. one of the most successful
ever held in connection with the
county fair. This did not hold
true in the second annual auction
of All poultry held at the
grandstand, Friday. All of the
pens auctioned were purchased
by the Caldwell Produce COM
pany. Proof of the lack of inter-
est was shown when at one time,
only the auctioneer, Earl Tom,
of Cumberland; County Agent
Henderson, Mr.. Boyer, head of
the poultry department, and a
representative of the Caldwell
Produce were the only people in
the immediate area.
Club members consigning their
pens to the sale included: Bates

Hampshires; Mary Butler, White

Fred NJ. Davis
Named Marshal
For Caldwell
New ChlOrinatOr
Needed By Water
Works Division

A veteran of World War l is
the new marshal of Caldwell.
The man is Fred M. Davis, SO,
who makes his home on farm
east of Caldwell on State Route
285.
Mr.. Davis was appointed by
Mayor Sam Secrest for a trial
period Of six months at the reg
ular meeting of the council Tues
day evening. The new marshal
replaces Jack Oliver who has
been serving the village as mar
shal and street commissioner for
the past two months. Mr.. Oliver
rendered his resignation at the
meeting and announced his in
tentions of continuing as night
Watchman and probation officer
for the village.
Mr.. Davis, a candidate for
sheriff on the Republican ticket
last fall. was appointed after the
only other applicant refused to
consider the job at the wages of
fered. The new marshal will re-
ceive salary of $500 as mar
shall and $500 as street commits
Sioner making a total of $4,000
per month. Fred w. Lockmiller,
Cumberland street, earlier turn
ed down a similar proposal when
he stated that he would not
serve for less than $100 per
month.
The regular meeting of the
council was held up for about
one-half hour when a quorum
failed to report on time. The
meeting was eventually held
with Councilman Warne Rogers
acting as president. President L.
E. Potts and Councilman Chester
Hayes were not present.
Several councilmen voiced sur
prise at request by the Board
of Public Affairs that they be
granted permission to buy a new
chlorinator to be installed at the
water plant. The new equipment
will cost the village about 81 400.
The recommendation for the
purchase of the new water pur-
ifier was made by the state
board of health. On a report by
one of its inspectors, the board
stated that the old chlorinater
was beyond repair and that a
breakdown in the machine would
create serious health hazard
for city water users. In going
further, the inspector stated that
following breakdown, it would
require almost month to secure
requirements and complete in
stallation.
A mild objection was voiced
by some of the council members
on the grounds that the need for
the new equipment should have
been discovered by Paul Elwell,
engineer now employed by the
village. On a previous visit here,
Mr.. Elwell stated that the local
water works was one of the fin
est in the state and in excellent
condition. At the time, he said
that he could not make one rec
ommendation for improvement.
Other business conducted by
the council included issuing in
structions to Jack Oliver to COM
plete the installation of a sewer
line along the east side of the
alley, which runs north and par
allel to Walnut street. The pro-
ject was started several weeks
ago by the street department
but held up at the request of
some homeowners in the area.

This not only increases his interest
in the selection of the books, but
helps him improve his reading.
I cannot say enough in praise of
the Cascade County library and the
fine service Mrs. Patterson is rem
dering rural families. I wonder how
many families take advantage of this
service. We seldom go to town with
out going out to the library for
books, especially for the children.
There is such a variety of books to
choose from, and the children are
very interested in choosing their
own books.-Mrs. Robert Thorough
man.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-11-15
so DO WE

l do not have time to read-at
least not nearly as much as l would
like to. 1 find a great deal of my
reading is limited to magazines for
that reason, although during the
winter months I do take time to read
several books.
We do, however, spend some time
each evening reading aloud to our
two boys, ages 6 and 9 years. From
the time u oldest boy began to
read, we have spent part of the time
reading books he enjoyed, so that he
could take his turn in reading aloud.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-11-15
AND so DO WE

We started reading to u children
as soon as they were able to follow
or enjoy the simplest story. We grad
ually increased the scope of our
reading as their understanding grew
until now (they are both in high
school they have very respectable
literary tastes.
Here are two devices we have
found useful in developing those
tastes. We found that, first, they will
read eagerly of a serious subject,
even while they are quite young, if
it is in fictionized form. There are
very good historical and biographi-
cal books for children of all ages in
our local libraries.
Second, a book that may be too
far ahead of their mental age'' to
be read with pleasure will be eager
ly received when read to them. I
believe some of the teachers in our
schools have reached the same on
clusion. One teacher read "Tale of
L wv SiLlSS W lily OduSllISl D SldSS.
However, another teacher in the
same school makes her classes plod
through Lady of the Lake" line by
line, picking out analogy and smile,
antonym and synonym. That is like
taking a child to the circus and say
ing: ''This may look beautiful and
glamorous but it is not. 1t is just
made to look that way by the use
of tinsel and grease paint"
Few would spoil a child's pleasure
in a circus that way, but some teach
ers concentrate upon the tricks"
used by the author to produce his
effects rather than upon the story
he tells so well. I'll wager that 10
years from now there won't be l in
10 of those children who can tell an
analogy from an anthropoid ape, but
if they had been led to see the real
beauty of the poem they'd remember
it all their lives.-Mrs. Edward
Hayes.
