post Office was established in
1882.
Two of the postmasters of the
discontinued post offices, Mr..
Turner said, would become clerks
at the Silver Spring station at
higher salary.
He said, in answer to ques-
ton. that their higher pay would
have no bearing on the economy
consideration. since they would
replace temporary Silver Spring
employees already receiving the
higher salary.
Pressures Charged.
The citizens also hurled
charges of political and financial
pressure behind the plan. Mr..
Turner replied that he him.
self had conducted the investi-
cation of postal service in the
area and had recommended that
more post Offices be discontinued
than the Post Office Depart
ment finally decided on.
He admitted that some resi-
dents of the area had made
representations to the depart
ment that service could be i'm
proved and funds saved"
He also discounted the sug-
gestion that the Silver Spring
post Office would profit by the
plan. The postmaster there, he
declared, would make mot a
penny more per year."
In the discussion, the postal
inspector explained how post
masters salaries are based on
gross receipts, calculated by
stamp sales. The law under
which a postmaster must ac-
count for sales of stamps to
persons living outside his area
was designed to prevent post
masters from raiding each
others territory, he said.
The proteSters, however, still
maintained that the loss of
their small, rural post Offices
would mean that urbanization
is creeping upon the peace and
quiet of the country.

Sandy Spring Area Citizens
Meet in Postal Change Protest

The citizens - rural house.
wives, mail carriers, farmers and
faithful patrons of county post
off1ces-were there to protest a
Post Office Department proposal
to reShuffle rural delivery routes
and discontinue three small post
Offices in their section of the
county.
Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican, of Maryland conducted
the protest meeting. He declared
at the outset he was not for or
against the proposal but that
he was acting only as a "liaison
man" between the postal plan
nerS and the county.
He outlined the proposal: The
post Offices at Brinklow, Ednor
and Spencerville would be
dropped; the Sandy Spring Office
would change from independent
status to a Silver Spring branch,
and rural routes would be ex-
tended and altered.
$4,000 Saving Forecast.
The plan, Postal Inspector Jo-
seph P. Turner told the unre-
ceptive audience, would effect a
savings of $4,000 annually. Mail
service. he said, could be main
tained at a reasonable level and,
in places, improved.

Independent Attacks
Democratic Foe in
Alexandra Election

William G. Bauknight, inde-
pendent candidate for Common
wealth's Attorney of Alexandria,
launched his election campaign
last night with a fiery attack on
the Democratic nominee, Earl
B. Wagner.
Mr.. Bauknight told kickoff
meeting of his campaign workers
that Mr.. Wagner was political
opportunist and. therefore, po-
litically dishonest.
The independent candidate
said records show that Mr.. Wag-
ner was active in the city'S Re-
publican party before and during
the Eisenhower campaign.
Charges Switch.
But when he thought it would
be convenient to seek local
Office under the Democratic
party label, he promptly made
the SWITCH" said Mr.. Bauknight.
1.-THE point is simply this: as a
Republican, my opponent was
pledged to support Republican
candidates in the last general
election. AS a Democrat in the
July primary, he had to sign a
pledge saying he had supported
Democratic candidates in the
last general election.
obviously one of the pledges
was false. Also, obviously he is
a political opportunist. He is
politically dishonest. And that
isn't much of a qualification for
Commonwealth's Attorney"
Mr.. Bauknight said Mr.. Wag-
ner actually had been elected
as an Eisenhower delegate to the
Republican State Convention
from Alexandria in 1852.
Defeated Smith.
MIR. Wagner defeated Howard
W. Smith, jr., incumbent Com
monwealth's Attorney, in the
July IA Democratic primary. Mr..
Bauknight, customarily a Demo-
crat, announced that he was sew
ering his party ties and running
as an independent against Mr..
Wagner in the November gen.
eral primary and customarily
would feel obligated to support
the party nominee in the gen.
eral election. In this instance,
however, he said he believed Mr..
Wagner's lack of political in
tegrity relieves Democratic vot-
ers from their obligation to sup
port him in the November 3
general election"

Village Gets Deed
For Highway Building

Rep. Edmund G. James pre-
sented the deed to the old state
highway garage just south of
Caldwell to Mayor Homer John
son Wednesday and it is now
being recorded at the office of
Benny ]. Fowler.
Dated Aug. 13, 1858, the deed
was prepared by Attorney Gen
eral c. William O'Neill and
signed by Gov. Frank J. Lausche
and Secretary of State Ted w
Brown.
The state highway building
was gift to the village from
the state of Ohio thru the efforts
of Rep. James, who introduced
a bill to this effect. 1t will be
recalled that this was one of the
first passed by both houses ano
signed by the governor at the
last legislature.
The building is now being
used by the Caldwell volunteer
fire department but eventually
will become the new City Hal
for Caldwell.
The back of the building i.
also being used by the state
highway department but they
plan to vacate in the neal
future.

Storage Recorder Al
Reservoir Lists Losses

Gauge recordings at the Cald-
we'll Dog Run reservoir, north
of Caldwell, indicate the water
consumption and loss since July
p to Sept. l, inclusive, totals
l8,400,000 gallons.
These figures tend to show
drastic difference between the
amount of water actually pass
ing thru the local waterworks
plant, which in an equal amount
of time would amount to approx
imately 100000 gallons, and
the net loss revealed at the site
of the reservoir by the newly
installed water storage recorder.
On July % the water appeared
five-tenthS of a foot below the
spillway level. August 19 a
drop of is #. was reported, in.
dicating a loss of 100000 gall
Ions of water. Other periodical
readings on August q showed
additional drop of five-tenths it,,
loss of 100000 gallons, and
on Sept. l, three-te -tenths #. drop,
a loss of 100000 gallons of
water.
The total drop of water from
spill way level shows 2.3 feet,
and a loss of l8,400,000 gallons
of water.
Since the stop log was erected
in the recess of the spillway,
rainfall has been insufficient to
move water over the spillWay
surface.

State Water
Officials Make
Recommendations
Representative James
Largely Responsible
For Local Interest

After weeks of preliminary
investigations by high state
officials, brought here thru
the influence of Rep. Ed,
mund G. James, improve
ments will be made by the
village of Caldwell to the
Caldwell reservoir which
will result in an adequate
amount of water consumption
for the community and indus
trial users for at least the next
ten years.
Rep. James turned over
preliminary report by the Ohio
Department of Natural Re-
sources, division of water, to the
village council, Tuesday even
ing and the proposed improve
ments were explained to them
by Mayor Homer Johnson.
Among those brought to Cald-
well to study the local water
situation by Rep. James were
c. V. Youngsquist, chief of the
division of water, department
of natural resources, Columbus;
Charles l.. Hahn, agricultural
engineer for the division; Rufus
Brown, president of the Musk
ingum Watershed Conservancy
district and J. S. Gena, chief
engineer for the MWCD, both
of New Philadelphia.
1t is proposed to install three,
one-foot flashboards on the
crest which will increase the
storage to nearly the original
capacity. For every foot added,
eight million gallons of water
will be impounded by the dam
The Caldwell reservoir has e
capacity of 1T million gallons
of water but the division at Co.
lumbus indicated that Is per-
cent of this has been lost thru
sedimentation and seepage.

Council Cracks
Down On Water
Consumption High AS
Supply Is Dwindling

Council is making plans today
to crack down on all private
interests and residents, outside
the corporation limits of Cald-
well, who are bringing huge
tanks to town, filling them up
with water and then using it for
their own purposes.
Caldwell, like all other COM
munities, is faced with a water
shortage and now, is the time for
residents to cooperate and con-
serve.
1t is understood that one re-
sident in the county brought in
a 800 gallon capacity tank, filled
it up and then used it for rea-
sons other than stated.
Under no circumstances will
this be permitted in the future
by Mayor Johnson and members
of council.
Local residents are also urged
not to use water to sprinkle
their lawns or gardens, as many
of them are now doing.
At the regular meeting of the
council, Tuesday evening, the
minutes were read and approved
and all bills ordered paid.
According to a new state law,
the Mayor must now turn over
all the fees he collectes from
cases to the village clerk and his
salary in the future will be
based on these fees.
In accordance with the pro-
visions of this law, Mayor John
son will now probably get
$1,000 per month, instead of
$65.00 as in the past.
Before adjourning, the coun-
Gil ordered a new municipal
general code law book.

Teachers To Meet
Labor Day For
Their Assignments

A record breaking first grade
at the Caldwell schools is being
expected next Tuesday when the
1953-54 term opens, according to
Supt. P. D. Cannavan.
According to the latest figures
available, there will be "a
youngsters enrolling next Tues
day for the opening of their
school education.
Supt. Cannavan said that it
would be necessary to split them
into two classes with Mrs.
Frances Wood and Mrs. Pearl
Morgareidge as the teachers.
This is the largest number to
be enrolled in the first grade
for a great many years in the
local system.
All teachers of the Caldwell
system have been called for
their first meeting on Labor
Day. At this time, Supt. Can
navan will complete their as
signments, text books will be
given out and all will be in
readiness for the influx of stud
ents on the following morning.
Plans have also been COM
pleted for the opening of all
schools in the Noble county sys-
tenn, according to Supt. H. c.
Secrest.
All county schools will open
Tuesday morning but in some
cases, the schedule calls for only
halliday.
There will be a full day Of
school at Caldwell, said Supt
Cannavan and the hot lunch pro-
gram will also start at noon or
that day.
The second largest class al
Caldwell is the Juniors and they
have number 46.
There is the possibility tha
this may be increased with the
advent of new students from the
adjoining communities.
It appeared today very likely
that all Macksburg student

'It was about the hour of five
o'clock on the morning of Thurs
day September 3, 1925, the
second day of the Noble county
fair being held at Caldwell, that
the dirigible Shenandoah was
caught in a line squall a mile
and half east of Ava, Noble
county, while on its flight from
New Jersey to Columbus, Ohio,
for exhibition to the throngs at
tending the Ohio State fair. The
Zine squall'' was a collusion of
winds from opposite directions.
The vessel was $50 feet long,
manned by an U. S. Navy crew
and was under the command of
Lieutenant Commander Zachary
LansdoWne, a native of Green
vile, Ohio, who was killed in
the crash, and the diamond ring
he wore was found encircling a
weed in a garden spot at the
home of Mrs. Mary Canary the
following year. 1t was later sent
to Mrs. LansdoWne.
Caught in the storm, light
ming forked the air, its electri-
city illuminated the dark sky
and rain fell in proportions of
tidal wave; the accompanying
wind roared at 70-mile-an-

couldn't advance against the
heavy winds and it fell to its
fate after it had been shot up
to a height of 1000 feet where
it crashed in two parts and the
crew of ID fell to their deaths
the others miraculously escaped
with their lives. Commander

a month, village officials are
confident they will win on the
above point and the increase will
not go into effect for at least
two years. After that time it will
be a different story.
1t is possible that the COM
mission will grant the increase,
except for the villages of Cald-
we'll and Dexter City.
This would mean that gas
consumers of Bronze Heights
and any other property owners
outside the corporation limits
would have to pay the increase
if it were granted.
