a long time and valued en-
ployee of the state highway de-

of Cambridge, contractor in
charge of construction, H. E.
Letson, state architect, of Co
lumbus, and Tom Groves, of
Marietta, who will be in charge
of grading for the railroad sid

1t will be remembered that the
contract for the new building
was let in June by the state
highway department to j. w,
Little and Sons, of Cambridge,
at their low bid of $55,154.
The site for the new construc-
ton was purchased a year ago
from DR.. and Mrs. C. F. Thomp-

and j. c. Smart, of Columbus,
state property negotiator.
Containing slightly less thar
four acres, the site is located or

morning. The men were dis
covered at about 200 o'clock
by Otis King, former Sum-
merfield merchant and member
of the faculty at the Summer
field high school.
The Summerfield man was re-
turning home with his family
following a trip through the
east when he observed the truck
parked near the store. Mr.. Kings
first hint that a robbery was be-
ing committed came when he
saw the men attempting to load
the safe into their truck.
Mr.. King fired two shots at
the vehicle with 12-gauge shot
gun as the truck speeded toward
Woodsfield. Officials are sure
that the vehicle will be easily
identified.
In their haste, the men
dropped the safe which was re-
covered and taken to Marietta,
Monday, where it was opened.
The robbers had made an at
tempt at opening the strong box
but apparently gave up the idea
after knocking off the tumbler.
No estimate on the amount of
cash in the safe was available.
Several leads on the robbery
are being checked and Sheriff
Mckee said early Tuesday that
this was the first time clues on
which to build an investigation,
had been available. Officials feel
that they have a good chance of
breaking up the series of rob-
berries which have been carried
out in Caldwell and Noble coun-
ty during the past two years.
Several persons in the vicinity
of East Union and Summerfield
reported seeing a vehicle re-
sembling the getaway truck on
Sunday. Late Sunday evening,
several Marion township citizens
report they saw the men loiter-
ing in the vicinity of Summer
field.
A check of the stores inven-
tory is being carried out to de-
termine how much merchandise
is missing from the stock. The
brothers reported that several
towels, cigarettes and mems un-
derwear were taken. Two cleo
trio toasters and four electric
irons are also missing.

er pre-induction physical call for

call and consequently it is not
yet known when the first group
will actually be inducted.
Draft board officials again
pointed out that it is necessary
for all 18 year olds to register
Immediately following their
birthday and this should be done
as quickly as possible. In many
instances, not only here but else
where, 18 year olds have failed
to register although they might
have observed their birthday
several months ago.
Many veterans are also coming
into the draft board office and
clarifying their status, which has
changed in the past several
years.
The draft board office is now
open every day thru the week,
except on Saturday.

TB Cattle Test
Gets ok From
Commissioners
Surprising Amount
OF $35, 900 Found
Not Yet Ear-marked

The Noble county commission
ers fulfilled promise made
earlier this summer and appro-
priated $4,000 last week to be
used in starting a tuberculosis
test on cattle this fall. County
Agent. Floyd Henderson. on Mon
day, said that all work would be
done by local veterinarians. The
office hopes to get the test start
ed the latter part of October or
the first of November.
With all tax monies, except
the last half of the personal
property tax, already collected,
the commissioners and Auditor
Jack Wilson reviewed the appro-
priations as set up on January |
of this year and found that the
county has approximately $685.
900 in the general fund which
has not been earmarked for use
this year. Money for the TB test
will be taken from this surplus.
The county has promised to ap-
propriate more money after Jan.
l, 1851, to complete the test.
The board also appropriated
5000 from the general fund, to
be used in presenting the an
nual county institutes which will
be held later this fall.
Auditor Wilson also estimated
that $4,000 is available in the
road and bridge fund, for use by
the commissioners in maintain
ing the county's roads.
In an effort to see that the
county benefits from the unex-
pected bonanza the commission
ers, by special resolution, set
aside $4,000 of the funds to be
used in the purchase of mater
ials which will be used in re-
pairing the county's roads. An
additional $4,000 has been ear
marked for culverts and bridge
materials.
The auditor said this week that
C IN serv ton appropriations
when the budget was set up al
the start of the fiscal year
played an important part ir
keeping the general fund in the
black. Unusually high returns
from the taxation department
also hiked the surplus.
I On Monday of this week the
county appropriated, by resolu-
ton, $100 as salary for addition
