Local Red Gross
Needs More Blood

The Noble County Red Cross
is sending out a call this week
for volunteer blood donerS, in
order that they might replace
the blood which has been used
for residents of this county in
hospitals, etc.
E. E. Cunningham, executive
secretary, said today that ten
people must report tc Marietta.
Wednesday, Feb. 13, and donate
blood which will go to the Hunt
ington, w. Va, blood bank.
This will replace the blood
which will be used for James
Sullivan, patient at the Veterans
hospital in Dayton, when he
undergoes a serious major opera
ton in the near future.
The Red Cross is furnishing
the blood at Huntington, but it
must be replaced.
The county Red Cross is faced
with this problem and any per-

pint of blood should contact the
Red Cross office on Monday,
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

Scarlet Fever
Cases Reported
DR.. N. S. Reed
Issues Warning

There are four cases of scarlet
fever under quarantine in the
Caldwell community, according
TO a check at the office of DR..
N. S. Reed, health commissioner.
The cases reported over the
weekend were Tommie Lewis,
sen of Mr.. and Mrs. Harold
Lewis, Spruce street; James, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Barney Heddles-
on; Mrs. Ed. Thomas of the west
side and the two children, Mar
celia and Daryl, of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alden Wheeler of Sharon.
Mrs. Clyde Cunningham,
health nurse, said that the quar-
antine on the Wheeler home
would probably be removed this
Thursday.
Parents are again being urged
to cooperate with health officials
and report the cases as quickly
as possible. This is the only way
that an epidemic may be averted.
DR.. Reed said today that chill
dren having a sore throat should
have a physician see them for 1t
may turn out to be serious. So
many cases, it is said locally, are
concealed and not reported to a
physician.
DR.. Reed also said today that
he did not want to close the
Caldwell schools but he would
do so, if necessary. If they are
closed, the children must stay at
home and not attend any public
function, including the theatres
the physician added.

Village Council
Considers Parking
Meters AS Solution
Meter Representative
Explains Operations
At Tuesday Meeting

From all indications the Cald-
we'll village council is getting
the stage set for the installation
of parking meters in the shop
ping center, which will include
the public square and distance
off the square.
This became apparent at the
special meeting called Tuesday
night by council members to hear
William Buhl, district repre-
sentative for the universal auto
natic park-o-meter, a Magee-
Hale product, explain his COM
pany's meter in detail.
Although no definite action
was taken Tuesday night, it was
quite clear that every council
member was in accord with the
program to solve the acute park
ing situation so evident in the
Caldwell shopping center, around
the public square and adjacent
area.
After hearing a lengthy ex-
planation on the functions of the
park-o-meter by Buhl, council
heard the legal aspects of their
possible purchase from their
counsellor, Attorney L. c.
Young.
Attorney Young explained two
alternatives the council could
resort to in making the purchase.
One by partial purchases in lots
of Is, costing less 100000 as
provided by law, and the other
by advertising for bids. The
latter approach was deemed ad-
visable and it is most likely that
bids will be asked for in the inn
mediate future.
The number of meters requir-
ed to do the job for Caldwell was
also discussed. According to a
preliminary survey, previously
conducted by meter companies,
the estimates ranged from $50
to 1876. The actual number can
not be determined until the in
stallation is started -s
Several phases, regarding load-1
ing and unloading zones, bus,
stops, and other incidents per-
tanning to how the installation of
parking meters in Caldwell
would affect the local situation,
were discussed at length by
council members. .- .
