ridor of the courthouse, bea
ginning at 1000 o'clock next

lawn. When the fire siren blew,
they were gone in exactly seven
seconds.
John w. Hazard will serve as
master of ceremonies for the
event. All children under 10

ticipate.
Promptly at 200 o'clock, the
fire siren will blow which in
dicates that the Easter egg hunt
is on.
Each side of the square will be
divided into age groups and all
children will gather eggs within
the group in which they belong.

Fire Department
Buys Small Truck
For Rural Calls
This Leaves Big
Truck For Protection
To CoidweII Citizens

The Caldwell Volunteer Fire
Department purchased a flat-bed
truck last Saturday, to be used to
haul their extra water tank on
call to rural areas.
The vehicle was purchased by
the department, although per-
mission for the purchase of eth
er a 500-gallon or 1000-g gallon
tank was granted by the Village
Council of Caldwell. The tank
will be paid for by the village.
A meeting of all the surround
ing township trustees near Cald-
well will be called soon by the
volunteer fire department. Chief
Frank Tarleton said the meeting
will be to discuss the possibility
of each township paying an an
nual assessment for fire protec-
ton.
In the event that an arrange.
ment such as this could be
drawn up between the depart
ment and the townships, it would
decrease Interpretation insur-
ance rates in the rural areas con-
siderably, according to a local
insurance agent.
The ~ ton Dodge truck was
purchased at the Clyde Murrey
estate sale Saturday for $365.00
This money was taken from the
fireman's fund, which represents
the money received by the mem
bers from various fire calls.
In addition to the tank, a front
mount pump will also be install
led on this truck. The small
; truck and the chemical trucl
will then be used by the depart
ment for out of town calls, thu
leaving Caldwell protected wit
the big truck and a sufficien
crew to operate it.
The fire laddieS also hope t,
purchase 500 feet of 112 incl
hose in the near future.

A. Rhodes, has released the
latest report of the audit and
examination of Noble county

school districts in the county.
The audit is very detailed for
each district and there are a
number of instances where the
examiner, Jack Laughlin, in
stituted a finding against the
board. In most cases, however
they were of a minor nature and
indicated only an infraction Of
! the law, mostly from oversight
by board members.
Each school district seemed tt
be in good financial condition
and in good shape, according tt
the examiners.
Any one desiring to read the
detailed report may do so at the
office of Auditor Long in the

Cooperation between the

partment, the Noble county
sheriff department, and about SO
volunteer fire-fighters, succeeded
in stopping the grass-and-woods
fire just northeast of the Cald-
well dam in Noble township on
