This Week al North
Street Grade CrOssinq
Mayor Johnson Issues
Worning: "VioIotors
VIII Pay Heovy Fine"

1t appears that motorist are
beginning to become a bit more
conscious of the meaning school
zone ahead, particularly since
the North street school area is
being patrolled daily by Police
Officer Jack Oliver and Officer
Willis Ralph.
During the past week three
motorists were hauled into court
for failure to stop at the red
light at the North street grade
school crossing
Appearing before Mayor
Homer Johnson, for the above
violations were: Milan Mika, of
Coal Ridge, Ray Lance, of West
Virginia, and Walden Wilson, of
GAINESVILLE. They were fined
$500 and costs.
AS a means of identifying the
'habitual violators", license plate
numbers are being secured by
the school patrol, and Mayor
Johnson stated that when these
drivers are apprehended and
brought into his court he pro-
poses to levy the heaviest fine
permissible by law.
Mayor Johnson intends to
crack down on these likely
killers" of the highway and it is
thru the medium of the press he
is issuing an advanced warning.
Jack King, Caldwell, was ar
rested by Willis Ralph@for reck-
less driving. He was fined $500
and costs.
Elmer Gill, Caldwell route,
was arrested by Patrolman Will

Village Council
passes 0;gddiiTaiance
On Burning Debris
Goes into Effect Oct.
s; Leaves Moy Not
Be Burned On Street

Caldwell village council MEM
bers approved an ordinance at
their recent meeting, which will
go into effect Thursday, Oct. s,
making it unlawful for any per-
son or corporation to burn or
cause to be burned, leaves,
papers, rubbish or debris Of any
kind whatsoever within the cor
porate limits of the village
except between the hours of 600
a. m. and 500 p. m.
In addition to the above, the
ordinance goes one step further;
it prohibits any person or cor
poration to burn anything in the
public streets.
According to Mayor Homer
johnson, the action was deemed
advisable since so many citizens
take the liberty of burning
leaves at such a late hour that
it creates a serious fire hazard.
III Is known tact that fires
within the village have resulted
in considerable property damage
due to negligence on the part of
some citizens.
Serious damages also result
when leaves are burned on the
bituminous surfaced streets. To
curb such practices an ordinance
was initiated by the village
council.
Due to the number of COM
plants received by the mayor
from persons affected by the
heavy smog caused by smoke
from burning leaves, it was
decided for the benefit of health

Newsweek Magazine

DR.. Paul w. Schafer, of Cald-
well, was featured in the Sept.
26 issue of Newsweek, regarding
his extensive study of medicine
in Russia.
Maj. Schafer is the chief of
thoracic (chest) and cardiovas-
cular (heart and blood vessels)
surgery at Walter Reed Army
hospital, Washington, D. c.
Thru DIR. B. V. Petrovsky,
chief surgeon at the Second
Moscow hospital, Major Schafer
and his wife were invited to tour
Soviet hospitals. Mrs. Schafer
was a flight nurse in the China
Burma-India theatre during the
second world war.
DR.. Schafer is the first Ameri-
can surgeon to visit Soviet hos
pitals for many years. He was
born and reared in Caldwell and

He urged that they be return
ed as quickly as possible since
the vaccine may be received by
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Only those children who re-
ceived the first vaccine shot last
spring will be eligible for the
second shot.
DR.. Reed said that Noble
county would not receive any
extra free polio vaccine and it
would be impossible to give the
first shot to any children. Par
ents are being urged not to even
ask for this permission.
The same schedule will be
used as before and all county
children will be brought to the
clinic at the Caldwell grade
school, where the second shot
will be given.
A rough calculation shows that
six Ohio children of every
100000 inoculated with Salk
vaccine came down with polio
as against 19 of each 100000,
who were not vaccinated.
