Safety Campaign
Going Over Big
With Motorists
Over l0C Cars
Have Been Ok'D
ir Local Drive

Over 100 motorists from every
section of Noble county and the
out lying communities have
taken advantage of the current
safety drive now under way here,
according to a check at the var
ious garages in Caldwell.
Sponsored by the Noble Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce and
the Noble County Automotive
association, with the backing of
the state highway patrol, the
safety check campaign is open to
all car and truck owners and
they are urged to cooperate in
the concerted effort to make
driving safer.
The cooperating members in
clude the Atkinson Chevrolet
Sales in Batesville, Pickenpaugh
& Robey Co., Buckley Motor
Sales, Fleeman Pontiac Co.,
Farmhouse Chevrolet Co., Worl
w. Thompson, William Radcliffe
garage, Ivan Ziler's garage and
Dean A. Reed Motor Sales, of
Caldwell.
According to Bolon Farmhouse,
president of the automotive as
Sociation, Automobile accidents
are becoming more numerous in
this vicinity. A large percentage
of them is due to faulty brakes
and other car defects that could
have been corrected easily if
they had been known. Conse-
quently a general inspection of
motor vehicles is a fine means
of preventing crashes of all
kinds that take a toll of death,
injury and property damage"
The safety check movement is
a practical and commendable
one. Streets and highways in this
county are serving an estimated
1900 motor vehicles now and
this number is growing. Every
thing that offers a probability of
increasing their safety and that
of the people who ride in them
should be gladly welcomed.
If you haven't already done
SO, each and every motorist
should avail himself of this op-
portunity and have your car
checked for the safety of others.

Strange Returning

You come in the cool of a clear hour.
Silent. Flag-draped
Five years and half a world
Away from the time and place of your dying
Back to the hearts that loved you;
Back to the land that you loved
0, strange returning.
Remain sealed and silent
Give no facts to your mother;
lmpart nothing to your father.
Shield us from your knowledge,
And we will shield you from ours
We have muted the ether waves,
They must not carry to you
The distant rumble of discord.
You who gave all for freedom,
Must not know our fears;
Neither shall you identify the gaunt man
Who stares as you pass.
He was your rugged companion in the days
Of your adolescent roaming and romping.
He, too had a strange returning.
Sweetheart of the days of your enlistment?
Married and mothers son,
A lad whose life span will parallel
The early decades of the Atomic Age.
You could not understand that.
You never heard of Nagasaki or Hiroshima,
But your "kid brother" understands
A few more months of growing,
And his shoulders will fit your uniform.
0, strange returning.

Highways Being
Resurfaced For
Summer Traffic
10000 Gallons OF
Oil Will Be Used
On County Roads

An extensive program for inn
proving and repairing Noble
county highways during the
early summer months has been
planned by the local branch of
the state highway department, it
was learned today from j. E.
Douglass, superintendent of the
department.
Workmen are already applying
calcium chloride and oil to all
Battle-Ground roads to reduce the
dust hazard. The mixture is be-
ing used in front of all homes,
on curves and sharp grades. This
step is being taken each year to
reduce the chances of serious
accidents caused by the binding
dust.
This week the department re-
ceived almost 1000 tons of
patching material and 10000
gallons of tar. The material will
be used in preparing the high
ways for the heavy traffic ex-
pected during the coming sum-
mer months.
Crews dispatched from the
local garage are unloading 900
tons of patching material at
Senecaville for use on State
Route lat. The old roadbed has
been torn up and the new ag-
gregate added as the department
strives to complete the traffic
bound road.
An additional 900 tons of Stag
have been unloaded at the local
garage for use on various state
highways in the county area.
The annual weed-mowine
campaign is now underway on
u. S. Route 81. The moving OF
the right-of-ways along all ma
jor state routes is expected to, be
completed by Memorial Day.
Maintenance crews are also
repairing a section of Route 78
west of Caldwell, near the Lee
Parrish home. Already sixty
loads of brick and other mater
ial from the Ava Brick company
have been used. The roadbed has
been dug away to a depth of sc
inches in an effort to keep the
base fro mslipping.
Grading operations at Seneca
Lake are underway as the road
is being extended from the park
east along the south side near
the bathing beach. The new ex-
tension will improve the acces-
sibility of the area along the
south side of the lake where
numerous new cabins are being
constructed.
On Monday, plaque for their
safety record during l949 was
awarded to the employees of the
local department. At a safety
meeting held following the pre-
sentation, movies were shown
by Mac r. Sprague, division
safety supervisor for division 10
Also present at the meeting were

On Wet Mimi Forces

SAIGON, Indo- China, Dec. g.
A French ground and air opera
ton lashed out today at rebel
Wet Mini forces around the town
of Seven Pagodas, key section in
Red River delta defenses guard
ing eastern approaches to the
north Indo- China capital of

A French army spokesman said
two to four battalions, covered by

to clear the area of the Commu-

lifeline between Hanoi and the
northern seaport of Haiphong.
The critical delta area where
the new operations are taking
place is just south of the main

The Wet Mini had streamed

pravda Says Macarthur
Ignores German Lesson
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Dec. 6.-Pravda said
today Russia's defeat of the Ger
man armies at the gates of Moscow
in 1941 is lesson Gen. Macarthur
apparently never has mastered.
Soviet 1t. Gen. v. Poznyak,
writing in the Communist Party
organ to celebrate the ninth an
niversary of the Soviet victory,
said:
THE victory below Moscow had
an immense effect on the course
and result of the Second World
War. 1t would seem the crushing
of the German armies outside
Moscow could have taught much
to all claimants to world domina-
ton. However, as the facts DEM
onstrate, such sorrowful COM
manders as the Macarthur type
could not master these lessons

warmth during the day and night.
Though these were pushed as close
as possible to the line, the last
few days of continuous action
fought by the Marines necessitated
that every man be on the line and
the stoves became valueless because
they could not be used. Many tents
were burned during Withdrawals
Food Heating Difficulties.
Food-No units have reported a
shortage of food supply. the only
difficulty being in distribution and
the frequent impossibility of heat
ing it. During full periods, the
men could build fires and heat c
rations and coffee; but lull periods
have been almost nonexistent dur
ing the last two days, with some
men going as much as two days
without a hot meal and some
times almost that long with moth
ing.
Clothing - Heavy lined parkas

underclothing, to protect most o1
the mems bodies, with most frost.
bite cases being feet or hands. Fol
the latter, two-thickness gloves are
provided, with common leather
outside and a wool liner. Specia.
mittens, with one shooting finger
which fits neatly inside the rifle
trigger guard, also are available
But still hands and fingers seem tt
get blistered with cold.
The general conclusion here !.
that nothing can actually keer
men comfortable when they have
to fight and live outdoors in these
subzero temperatures.
They can. however, survive with.
out freezing or frostbite with the
equipment they now have. But this
is conditioned upon one thing
they must have enough support ir
manpower to allow them to use
what they have.
