Draft Board Stands
Pat On mo Draft"

The Noble County draft board
still maintains this week that the
quota of five men from this
county on May II will not be
sent to Columbus for induction
into the armed services.
There has never been anything
definite come out of Columbus
yet, relative to the stand of the
board, and there is no indication
now that the quota will leave
here on the date specified by the
State Selective Service board.
There is a definite feeling of
resentment among the five
boys for the May II quota
against the state board of appeals
and each is indicating today they,
too, are going to file an appeal.
AS the matter now stands, the
five men have been notified
they will not be sent May II but
the board may later decide other
wise.

Water Fund Running
In Black For First
Time In rs Years"

For the first time in at least
fifteen years, if not longer, the
Caldwell water work fund is out
"of the red' on April 30th.
The balance is small, amount
ing to $257.34, but the achieve
ment is even greater when you
consider it has been in the red
for as long as any one can re-
member.
Clerk Violet Morgareidge at
tributes this to placing the water
collection on a monthly basis
and the slight increase in rate.
Back in 1886, there was bond
ed Indebtedness against the
waterworks for $4,000. This was
paid off October 2, 1850. There
is still $4,50O.00 to be paid off on
on the waterworks Improvement
bonds, with the last one to come
due December l, 1859.
The waterworks fund first
showed a balance March 81 of
$l32.36, which was increased to
$257.34 during April.

1880 Gallons
0f Mix Used On
State Highways
This Is Only the
Beginning, Due To
Severe Frost Damage

Severe frost damage and heavy
loads during the spring and
winter months has been the most
outstanding factors in the de-
Struction of roads in the state
highway system, according to j.
A. Douglass, superintendent of
the state highway department.
Maintenance crews are busily
trying to repair some of the
damage to roads in the county
area.
Proof of the damage brought
during the winter months is evil
dent in the amount of material
used during the past month in
sealing and patching operations.
Workmen have already used IT,
500 gllonS of bituminous mix
ture in repair work. In an ordi-
nary season the department
normally uses only 10000 gall
Ions of the mix. Four shipments
have been received and several
thousand gallons of road oil and
tar are on order
Division crews will arrive here
this week to aid in the extensive
repairing being planned by the
department. This week State
route 78 near Summerfield is
being patched and sealed. Route
$40 between Belle Valley and
Cumberland will be open to traf-
fic this week but motorists wish
ing to avoid getting their autos
splattered with tar and road oil
should use an alternate route.
State route lat will also be
sealed in the very near future
with 400 tons of Stag being un-
loaded at Senecaville this week
The material will be mixed at
Senecaville and work will begin
early this month.
The Elk Fork bridge which was
closed last week while a new
bridge was being constructed, is
now open to traffic.
Construction work on a bridge
located near the Otis ShafeI
farm on state route lat began
this week. Traffic will be re-
routed over state route l4e
througl Mt. EpA~aim. The bridge
will be constructed on steel pill
ing with creosote floor laid on
steel | beams. The bridge will
be widened to the road width at
this point.

dressed in the official costume
of Denmark. In telling of life
in Denmark, the speaker said
r. In Denmark, the farms are
of IS acres or less. They are clean
and the farmers keep them up
that they might be proud of
them when tourists visit them,
In the past several years, the
value of money in Denmark has
gone down Al percent and build
ing material has gone up 79 per-
cent.
1T is interesting to know that
on Christmas Eve, they will al
ways have boiled rice and one
almond will be put in the rice.
The person who gets the almond
will receive an extra Xmas gift.
"The spiritual life in Denmark
is at low ebb, partly due to the
fact that churches are state sup
ported.
Mrs. White concluded her talk
by telling the group that sJuly
4th was also a special day in Den
mark. Practically everyone in
Denmark has a relative in the
United States and they honor
these people by having the King
and Queen and American Am

All training divisions are as
signed division numbers-in each
case that of a World War II
division with famous combat
history. The chief purpose in as
signing these divisions numbers
was to help develop an esprit de
corps" among new inductees in
the Army, by having them belong
to established units with good
military records.
This accounts for the difference
between some of the divisions
designations and the actual train
ing received. For example, induc-

ored Division at Fort Leonard
