ILoeaIed In Caldwell
II They 60 After II
Veterons And Civic
Organizations Urged
To Adopt Resolutions

There is very strong possibi-
lity that Caldwell and Noble
county could have a national
guard unit.
This is the belief expressed
today by several officials, who
said the entire deal hinges on
whether or not the community
desires one.
All veterans and civic organ
izations in Caldwell and the
surrounding communities are
urged to adopt resolutions urging
the location of a national guard
unit in Caldwell.
They should be sent or mailed
to The Journal-Leader office and
they in turn will be given to
Rep. Edmund G. James, who win
spearhead the drive for the loca-
ton of such a unit in this com
munity.
Back in the late 1930's, Cald-
well had a national guard unit
and they were among the first
who answered the call before
and during World War II.
The location of another ONG
unit in Caldwell could have
many possibilities, not the least
of which would eventually be
the construction of new
armory.
1t has always been the policy
to use an armory for civic affairs
and it could rapidly become the
community meeting center. Such
a need for a community center
has long been felt here.
Every able bodied man in the
county would be eligible to join
, and it is believed the quota
would be filled rapidly.
Organizations are being asked
to take the initiative, adopt {
resolution, send it to The Jour
nal-leader, and in due time, they
will be presented to the proper
authorities in Columbus for theil
final decision.
The desire of a community Ii
want a National Guard unit j;
very important and the fiTs
step in its location, according tc
Rep. James. He said today that
he would do everything possible
in his power to aid the cause, il
the community really shows thai
they want such unit.
The veterans organizations
should start the ball rolling ano
Rep. James, assisted by other
civic minded citizens, will carry
it from there on in.

The six room property will
be used by the church for
Sunday school classes and So
cial meetings of various groups,
since 1t has a complete kitchen
and bathroom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis are moving
at that time to Bronze Heights
where their new home will be in
readiness.
The board of trustees for the
church is paying $6,500.0O for
this property, Rev. Gaugler said,
Installation of the new roof
on the Methodist church is prac-
tically completed, the pastor
said, and this project is costing
the members $6,811.02. It was
started last September by Albert
G. Schoeppner and his crew.
The project included the in
stallation of new asbestos shing-
les on the roof and some altera-
ton. New cave spouting will also
be installed for the entire
church.
Rev. Gaugler said that the
annual Lenten Easter offering
would be applied to the church
debt and that practically every
day contributions were being re-
ceived from members and form
er active members, who now
reside elsewhere.
Due to this fact, the total in
debtedness has not yet been
determined.
The new trustees elected last
Wednesday night were A. r
Boyer, ROLAND Boyd and Worl
w. Thompson. Other members
include Paul M Clark, Edw. L.
Merry, w. Vernon Archer, R. D,
Buckley, Harry Davis and Floyd
Henderson.

pleted at the first quarterly
meeting held in the local church

representative Edmund u.
James in securing adequate
gas from the Noble Fuel Sup
ply Co., w. E. Curtis, presi-
dent, which serves that COM
munity.
Rep, James was contacted that
morning and by 4:30 p. m. the
same day, the Public Utilities
had contacted the Ohio Fuel
Gas company and they had in
stalled a meter connecting with
the Noble Fuel Supply for ad-
ditional gas.
1t will be recalled that Sum-
merfield went through a SINH
lar experience last winter and
the Ohio Fuel tapped into the
lines and thus remedied that
emergency.
1t was understood, however,
that the gas meter was removed
in the summer months and had
not been replaced.
The council members are up
in arms, as well as the citizens,
because they granted the Noble
Fuel Supply company an in
crease in rates last year.
The consumers are now paying
a minimum of $500 per month
and 85c for the next 1000 cubic
feet, A check reveals that some
of the gas bills last month ran
as high as $500.
Consumers have told council
that if they are paying for gas,
they want it when they need
it and that is, of course, during
any cold spell.
1t is expected that Mr.. Curtis
will be called before council at
their special meeting.

time to Beau Mixer, a purebred
Hereford, who is owned by him
self and his father, Clem Schafer,
a partnership affair.

his own rights, having won sew

jured. The blaze was believed
to have started from an over
heated coal stove.
The small children included
a baby boy. IL months old; an
other son, three years old and
the daughter, four years old
1t was understood that the
father was unemployed and the
mother had been working as a
waitress in Belle Valley.
The Red Cross organization in
Caldwell Immediately sent out
an appeal and the family receiv-
ed some help as early as Friday
morning.
They have since secured
new home and this is being fur
nished by gifts received from
various families in Caldwell and
the surrounding communities.
Red Cross Secretary E. E.
Cunningham said that Mrs.
Roberts wore a size 8 dress and
the father was small of stature.
Any children's wearing apparel
for the above three ages would
be suitable.
The family received several
boxes of canned goods and Mon
day the Red Cross issued a
grocery order for $1,000 to aid
them.
1t was understood that the loss
was covered by insurance, ac-
cording to investigating officials.

officials of the school said they
would accept the cancellation.
This will permit Pleasant City
to enter the county tournament
with a perfect league record and
only one loss during the season
to Strasburg.
Officials explained there was
nothing to gain in the Friday
non-league game, except another
win or loss, with perhaps greater
emphasis being placed on county
and district tournament play.
This means that the Caldwell
