EDUCATIONAL TV Got IT'S
BIG PUSH FROM LAWYER

the Joint Council on Educational
Television.
The Ford Foundation set up
fund for adult education and
climbed on the bandwagon. In less
than four years the foundation has
contributed eight million dollars to
educational TV
Civic groups became interested.
So did industrialists, businessmen
and state legislators. They teamed
with school, church and cultural
leaders and began forming local
commissions and co-operatives.
At first the work moved slowly,
painfully slowly. Even today there
are many who despair Of the fu-
ture Of educational TV because Of
seeming lack Of interest among
millions Of Americans.
Miss Hennock says any lack Of
interest is the result OF lacx OF
information. Wherever the public
Is informed," she says. iii always
backs educational televlsion."
Informing the pubic Is the work
of another big organization, the
National Citizens Committee for
Educational Television. With a
budget Of a half million dollars,
this committee has been at work
daily.
Franklin Durham, chief Of The
Radio Television Division Of the
u. S. Office Of Education. says the
major reason for the excitement
about ~ education lies in the

Sis, 900 Blaze Destroys Large Barn
On Dennis Farm Near Caldwell
Near Midnight
Fire, Monday,
Still Burning
$500 Bushels Of
Corn And Grain
Consumed by Blaze

Raymond Dennis, of near
Caldwell, suffered a loss of
approximately $4,000 in grain
and farm machinery by fire
Monday night.
The Caldwell Volunteer
Fire Department was called
out at 1000 p. m. after the fire
was discovered by Henry
Schott, neighbor. The Dennis
family had retired for the night.
The only machinery saved from
the flaming building was a corn
picker.
Fire destroyed $500 bushels of
wheat, oats and corn; q tractor,
combine, grain drill, manure
spreader and various small tools.
The building was approximately
so co..
The fire department was credit
ed with saving the main barn
and another small farm building
located near the burning granary.
Flames were fought with chemi-
Gals and with one inch and a
half water stream pumped from
the cistern with a portable pump.
Eight volunteer fire department
members fell out" to aid in the
fight.
Hundreds of spectators rushed
to the Dennis farm, which is
located approximately halfway
between Caldwell and Belle VAL
ley on U. S. route 81. Auto
mobiles lined both sides of the
highway for three-fourths of a
mile Noble County Sheriff
Donald Conaway was on duty
directing traffic, thus keeping
the highway and the lane to the
scene of the fire open.
The building and the contents,
which were lost, were only parti
ally covered by insurance.
The corn and grain alone, ac-
cording to Mr.. Dennis, had a
value of $4,000.
The large storage barn had
grain cribs on the second story
and each side of thesbuilding.
The flames shot hundreds of
feet into the air and were clearly
visible in Belle Valley and Cald-
well.
The origin of the fire could not
be determined but it is believed
to have been caused from spon-
taneous combustion.
Reports are that there was
some very foolish driving in con-
nection with the fire Monday
night. Some examples of the
highway manners of some of the
spectators on the way to the Den
mis- farm are driving three abreast
in the same direction, speeds up
to IS miles per hour and leaving
parked autos on the highway,
thus stalling the fire department
vehicles in addition to endanger-
ing many human lives. No actual
arrests were made by local auth
critics but warning was issued
on Tuesday concerning future in
cidentS of this nature.

May Raise Water
Rates in Caldwell
Board Of Public
Affairs In Session

A possibility of raising the
water rates to the consumers of
Caldwell was discussed Monday
evening when regular meeting OF
the board of public affairs was
held at the City Hall.
R. D. Buckley is president and
presided for the meeting with
members Charles Rogers and
John c. Harmon in attendance.
1t was pointed out that consum-
ers in Caldwell are now paying
Sl.00 for the first 1000 gallons
of water used and more than
half the local consumers falls in
this group.
A representative of the village
maintenance crew attended this
meeting and asked that they be
granted a pay increase. The pre-
sent wage scale raises from 95
cents to $100 per hour. It was
taken under advisement.
Ray Elswick also attended the
meeting in an endeavor to cut
the fire rate cost down for the
Municipal Light & Waterworks
plant. Certain improvements had
ceen recommended and since
these were accomplished, it was
felt that the insurance rate should
be reduced.
Routine business was transact
ed and bills for the month order
ed paid.

Posioifice AT
Dudley Closes
Friday. May |
Patrons Will Be
Transferred To
q Local Rural Routes

The postoffice at Dudley, three
miles south of Caldwell, will be
discontinued as of Friday, May
1st, according to word received
here today from the assistant
postmaster generals office, Wash
ington, d. c.
Martin Harper, who has been
serving as acting postmaster since
Jan. 1st received the official
notice and he said today that the
patrons now served at this post
office would be transferred to
Caldwell routes three and four.
A check at Dudley revealed
that the postoffice was serving
ten patrons, five of whom already
had rural boxes on the routes
coming out Of Caldwell.
1t can thus be seee nthat a tre-
mendous saving will be made by
closing the Dudley postoffice.
1t will be remembered that
Mrs. Frank Brown retired in this
capacity the first of 1858 and
Harper obtained the appointment.
A general store was also opera
ted in connection with the post
office and this was closed out as
of March 31st.
Records on hand indicate that
Dudley had a postoffice as far
back as 1882 and the retiring post
master said that the office was
located there several years before
that time. However, he has been
unable to find any of these old
records, prior. to 1882.
The building now housing the
postoffice is still owned by Mrs.
Frank Brown, who is making her
home in Columbus.
Mr.. Harper has not announced
anv plans for the future.

Presbyterian Church
Gets New Flooring

The long hours which the ladies
Of the Presbyterian church put
in at the church stand during the
Noble county fair and the efforts
which have gone into the many
community dinners they served,
have now paid off.
A multi-colored asphalt tile
flooring has been installed in the
basement Of the church, in ad-
dition to all new cabinets and
working space in the kitchen
proper.
The new flooring adds much to
the general appearance of the
dining room and represents the
efforts of many in their labor of
love.
