MYSTERY IN JAIL

HARDIN, III. - up - The Cal
hOun County court house is 1O6
years old and still stands square
and true, but the 104-year-old Jail
is beginning to show signs of dis
integratiOn.
The Jail was built in 1850 from
native limestone and is a model of
expert workmanship. The huge
blocks of stone were so carefully
fitted that builders say they should
have stood for hundreds of years.
In the last go days small cracks
in the upper floor have widened
alaTmingly. The cause is a mys-
terry. One theory is that years OF
drought have caused the soil to
contract and allow the building to
settle.

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

Talked to Harold Laubscher of
the Chamber of Commerce about
the Bride Path on South Boule-
ward. You know, there was quite a
project started last August toward
cleaning up this stretch between
the coconut palms and developing
lit into a picnic area. Somewhere
along the line, things seemed to
have begged down. Harold explain
ed the situation to me.

been embarrassing about the

Scouts and all the various Organi-
cations and individuals who work
ed so faithfully with us at the be-
ginning probably think that they
wasted their time and money. That
isn't true, however. We simply ran
into a lot of unforeseen difficulties
which are gradually being straigh-
tened out.
Laubscher then proceeded to ex.
plain some of these troubles that
have plagued them.

When one can find a large
