the new owner said.

From Supt. P. D. Cannavan
right on down the line, every fan
who attends the benefit basket
ball game, Friday evening be-
tween Caldwell and McConnels-
vile will pay thru the nose.
Advance tickets are being sold
for $1.00 for adults and so cents
for high school students and
every cent collected will go into
the Caldwell high school insur-
ance benefit fund.
Sponsored by the Caldwell
Lions club and the athletic as
sociation of the local school, the
proceeds will be used to defray
the expenses incurred this sea-
son in football when the Red
skins suffered six major injuries
and many minor ones.
O The sixth and most serious was
Tommie Ferguson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Ferguson, who
underwent an emergency opera
ton following the Armistice day
game for the removal of his
spleen. He has returned now to
his home and school.
The hospital bill alone for this
case was approximately $4,000,
not counting the doctors bill.

Benefit Basketball Game Set For Friday

Junior Cunningham, who sus-
tanned broken arm in the Philo
game had a hospital bill of
$4,000, complete. The insurance
allowed $500 for a fracture.
The importance of the bene-
fit game Friday night against the
Big Reds from McConnelsville
cannot be over estimated for the
school will need much to meet
these bills, rather than the in
dividual families.
The McConnelsville Booster
club sent a check for $4,000 to
Tommie Ferguson and this will
be applied to the hospital bill.
Tickets may still be secured
from Ralston's Rexall store or
Henry's restaurant or at the
door the night of the game.
The reserve game will begin
at 700 o'clock and the varsity
will follow at $3.50.
Principal Gilbert w. Weekley
pointed out that no passes would
be honored at the gate with each
and every one paying the reg
ular admission price.
McConnelsville has indicated
they will come to Caldwell in
strong numbers Friday night for
the benefit game.

Veteran Accepts
Position AT Texas
Eastern Station
Examination Will
Be Necessary To
Fill The Vacancy

William Warner, popular
postmaster at Summerfield
for the past four years, has
rendered his resignation in
this capacity to accept a new
position with Texas Eastern
Transmission corporation, Sum-
merficld.
Mr.. Warner, veteran of World
War II and former commander
of the Summerfield American
Legion post, assumed his new
duties at the Summerfield boos-
ter station this week.
Until the vacancy can be filled
by appointment, Everett Bircher,
who has been a clerk there for
a number of years, will manage
the postoffice.
The resignation of Bill Warn
er at Summerfield, third class
postoffice, now means that Sum-
merfield and Sarahsville are
without a postmaster.
The Sarahsville vacancy was
created with the sudden death
of Jess Butler and it has not yet
been filled. 1t is understood that
another examination will be held
for this job.
1t is expected that announce
ment will be made in the near
future as to when an examina-
ton will be held for the Sum-
merfield job. 1t is said that sew
eral persons are after the job.
Since a Republican is in the
White House and controlling the
postal department, the appoint
ment, if any, must come from
Senators John w. Bricker and
Thomas Burke.
Rep. Robert T. Secrest, Demo
crat, has nothing whatever to
do with postal appointments,
since the administration change
over.

Fire Causes
Blackoui In
Caldwell Area
Main Switch
Control Out
For One Hour

Fire which broke out in the
main switch board of the Cald-
we'll Light and Waterworks
plant, Sunday evening, disrupted
service to the entire village for
one hour and ten minutes until
the damage could be repaired.
Shirley Springer was on duty
when the fire broke out in the
switch board. He used a small
fire extinguisher to put out the
blaze but a complete blackoutH
was in order from 6:25 p. m.
until 1885 p. m.
The Caldwell fire department
answered the call and brought
their portable generator into use,
in order that the necessary re-
pairs might be completed on the
switch board.
A. c. Murphy, plant manager,
made the, switch board repairs.
Sheriff Donald Conaway was
at the scene OF the lire, IN ad-
dition to John c. Harmon and r..
D. Buckley, members of the board
of public affairs, Earl johnson
and Walter Polling, village en-
ployees.
Since Caldwell owns their
own municipal light plant, the
blackout was in effect only in
the corporation limit. Just to the
north, Florence Addition had
lights as did the Caldwell plant,
CGB, just south of town. They
are both supplied by the Ohio
Power company.
This is the first major break
at the local light plant in several
years.
