HoIIyhocks Bloom,
On Rare Rose Bush
Al Gillespie Home

Mr.. and Mrs. William Giles
pie, Playground street, have a
rose bush in their back lawn,
that defies all laws ever set
down by Mother Nature.
Sunday morning, it burst forth
with large number of beautiful
Hollyhock blooms, whereas in
years past, it has always done
the expected with the usual deep
red rose petals.
Several days before, Mrs. Gill
lespie had used a spray or ferti-
lizer on this plant and for a short
time, she attributed the unusual
blooming feat on this factor.
However, it is believed that in
the wee small hours of the morn
ing, some one attached the Holly
hook blooms to the rose plant
with scotch tape.
The identity of the early morn
ing culprit has not yet been re-
vealed, but, it is safe to assume
that he or she was a flower low
er of some renown.

County Struck By
Severe Electrical
Storm. Tuesday
Clark Jennings
Barn Destroyed;
1872 Inches Rain

A severe electrical storm struck
Noble County Tuesday evening,
resulting in the loss of a large
barn on the farm of Clark Jen-
nings, north of Caldwell, which
was struck by lightning, in addi-
ton to other property damage.
Lightning struck the Jennings
barn at 6:l5 p. m., Tuesday, only
a few minutes after the storm
hit this section.
A cloudburst was also reported
early Wednesday morning in the
Batesville community and state
highway officials said that State
Route lat was under water.
Six head of valuable registered
stock was saved by Clark Jen-
nings and his farm helper, min
utes after the lightning had
struck. The barn was completely
destroyed by the fire.
The registered stock included
four cows, one calf and a bull.
Several tons of baled hay were
consumed in the blaze.
The Caldwell fire department
answered the call and succeeded
in saving a small corn crib, in
addition to preventing it from
spreading TO two other adjacent
barns, in which machinery was
stored.
The loss was only partially
covered by insurance. The Jen-
nings farm is located about two
miles north of Caldwell, just off
U. S. Route 81 and north of the
Caldwell reservoir.
According to Mrs. Frank Bur-
lingame of Sharon, who is pinch
hitting as official weather man
while her husband is a patient
in Marietta Memorial hospital.
the county had 1872 inches of
rain from 6 p. m. Tuesday to 8
p. m, Wednesday and it was
still raining.
During the first storm at 6
o'clock, .25 inches of rain fell
with 1.57 recorded during the
night with a steady downpour
The last reading was taken at 8
a. m, Wednesday.
Mrs. Burlingame also said that
the official temperature was 81
degrees, Wednesday morning,
the lowest so far for the month
High water forced the closing
of highways 146, one mile east of
Sarahsville and 566 from Mt.
Ephraim to Senecaville Wednes-
day morning. No extensive prop
erty damage was reported at
that time, according to word from
from the state highway garage.

First State Baptist Camp Opens In County

All was confusion and excite
ment at Pine Lake Monday when
LOT boys and girls from all over
the state arrived to spend a week
at camp.
Rev. David Doan, the director
of the Junior camp, held this
week, was confident that order
would be restored by Tuesday
morning. Rev. .Doan spent eight
years at the First Baptist church
in Caldwell and is now at Ame-
liza. He has been most active in
the preparation of the buildings
and grounds, formerly a rest
home, for a boys and girls Bible
camp.
George Stitt, dean at the camp,
gave the daily schedule as fol-

Noble County
Rated High In
Buying Power
Higher Incomes
Prevail Locally
Report Reveals

What is the average income of
Noble county families? How
much is available to them for
spending, after taxes? How do
they spend it?
Answers to these questions,
much sought after for CONNER
tcial reasons ARE contained in the
new copyrighted survey of buy
ing power, covering the entire
United States, prepared by Sales
Management.
The figures show that higher
incomes and a better standard of
living prevail locally. Noble
county families recorded net
earnings in 1851, after deduction
for all taxes, of $9,917,000 This
was a gain over the $9,163,000
net income of the previous year.
Divided by the $500 families
in the county, it represented
earnings of $2,833 per family.
This compares favorably with the
previous year, when earnings per
family, locally, were $2,545.
The figures, it is pointed out,
are arithmetical averages, obtain
ed by dividing total income by
total number of families.
The better earnings locally led
to bigger spending. Noble county
stores registered a sales volume
in the year of $5,739,000. This
sales total represented a gain
over 1850, when the retail busi-
ness amounted to $5,306,000.
The ratio of how much is be-
ing spent in each city and coun-
ty, as compared with what might
be spent, is considered in the
survey through a buying power
quota" This is weighted index
which takes into account income,
sales, population and other fac
tors. 1t shows that .0049 percent
of the nations retail business
could be produced in Noble
county. This compares with the
.0037 percent actually done last
year, revealing an undeveloped,
additional potential of business
locally.
The survey shows that the
United States has grown to
nation of 44.7 million families
having an effective buying pow
er, after taxes, of over 220 billion
dollars. More than two-thirds of
this spending money finds its
way into retail stores. The re-
sultant retail business is above
ISL billions.

capacity at the new st. Thomas,
Ontario, Clevite Ltd. operations.
Replacing Cook will be Will
liam Hobensack, Of Bridgeport,
who was named plant comptroll-
er. Hobensack served in similar
position in the Bridgeport plant.
The new comptroller for the
Caldwell plant Joined Cleveland
Graphite Bronze Co. seven years
ago as timekeeper and has NOV
ed rapidly in the way of promo
tions until he was named in the
above capacity. The move to
Caldwell will serve as a promo
ton to Hobensack because of the
larger existing operations in
Caldwell.
Cook, who left Caldwell three
weeks ago for Cleveland, will as
sumo his new duties in st. Thom-
as in the very near future. Mr..
and Mrs. Cook and infant son,
Douglass, during their brief stay
in Caldwell, resided in the new
T. M. Ehlermann duplex on Oak
lawn avenue.
Since coming to Caldwell, Cook
had acquired, a large number of
close friends and they join in
wishing him continued success in
the new st. Thomas plant.
Hobensack is veteran of
World War II, during which time
he served in the medical corps
and was discharged with the
rank of captain. He has affiliated
himself, since assuming his new
Caldwell duties three weeks ago,
with the local Veterans of For
eign Wars unit and the Caldwell
Lions club.
He is married to the former
Evelyn Jones, of Martins Ferry,
and they are the parents of one
daughter, Cecilia, 13 months old.
They are members of the First
Church of Christ, North street.
The Hobensack family is living
on Bronze Heights.

Every evening during the camp
period, Rev. James Garrison,
missionary to China, will give a
talk. Rev. Myron Cedarholm of
Chicago will preach at the
evahgelistic meetings, following
the talk by Rev. Garrison.
The meetings, open to the pub
lie, will get underway at eight
o'clock nightly. The speaker, Rev.
Cedarholm, is the General Di-
rector of the Conservative Bap-
tist Association of America,
who sponsor the camp and many
others like it. A tent has been set
up on top of the hill behind the
main house, in the event that in
clement weather would inter

Elk townships, will receive a
seal treatment for a length of
Il and one-half miles.
Between Whigville and Sum-
merfield for a length of and 1i3
miles, state route 146 will be re-
paired, along with route $50
from Dungannon to Crooked
Tree and route 5l3 in Marion
township. All of the above work
will begin as soon as the con-
tracts are made official, this
week, if possible.
The steel bridge being con-
structed on route 724 is expected
to be completed by the end of
the week. The highway has been
closed from the Elk Fork pump
station to route 145, east of Stat
ford during the construction
period.
Ditching has begun on state
route 78, east, and upon the COM
pletion of that project, route lat
will be ditched.
Contractor Witten notified the
state highway department, Tues
day, that he would begin work
Wednesday on patching the high
way between Summerfield and
Whigville. Eventually this high
way will receive a sealed sur
face.
The division crew out of Mari
eta is now patching route las
from Harriettsville to Stafford, a
distance of some IL miles in
Noble County. This highway will
also receive a sealed coat.
Supt. Douglass said the local
crews are still clearing right of
way, especially on u. S. Route
81, where motorists throw cans
bottles, and what have you from
their vehicles. It is especially
bad on this stretch of highway
from Caldwell to Belle Valley.

installed and this would ade-
quately cover the business
section and designated dis
'2ncn from the square.
William Buhl, district repre-
sentative for the meter company,
was present at the meeting and
clarified the existing agreement
which the village council mem
bers approved.
1t is expected the meters will
be the one-cent to a nickel type,
with a two hour parking limit
designation. They are the stand
ard automatic meter and one
frequently purchased in the
larger cities of the country today.
1t was expressed by members of
the ordinance committee that
Sundays and holidays would be
excluded from the enforcement
hours.
The ordinance committee is
busy putting the final touches on
the ordinance which will be pub
lished next week. 1t will be in
detail and will cover every phase
of the meter installation. 1t will
note the streets and areas affect
ed by the meters and also cite
the rules and regulations govern
ing the enforcement of the
meters.
The meters will be paid for
solely from the receipts of the
meters and under no condition
is the village obligated financi-
ally to the meter company.
Buhl stated that the local
meter officer would be properly
instructed in the use and opera
tion of the meter. 1t is expected
that six weeks will be required
in completing the installation.
Council was unanimous in its
decision, with all members pres
ent voting for the meter installa-
ton. Councilmen present includ-
ed President of Council D. D.
Nichols, Dwight Wiley, Dean
Reed, Carl Johnson, James John
son, and Emil Barnett.
The parking problem for the
county seat has developed into
quite an often discussed matter.
1t is the expressed hope of the
council members that this will
alleviate the congested traffic
problem and will serve the orig
inal intent, to move traffic on
the main thoroughfares of the
village, where limited parking
should prevail for the conven-
fence of the shoppers.
