Gray Memorial
Dedication Set
For October Is

Dedication of the John Gray
Memorial at the state roadside
park, north of Caldwell, on USR
81, will be held Saturday, Oct.
13, according to plans announced
today by the committee.
The Ohio Monument Builders
Association, who is underwriting
the project, said today that their
plans call for the dedication to
be held at that time, with CO.
operation of the local committee.
The association felt that it
should be given statewide pub
licity, through their own organ
ization, and this would allow
sufficient time for the material
ization of such project.
Robert T. Secrest, former. pop
ular congressman from this dis.
trict and now a member of the
Federal Trade Commission, has
been invited to make the dedica-
tory address.
Secrest has been contacted
relative to the date but he has
not yet accepted.
Music will be furnished by the
Caldwell high school band under
the direction of Marvin P. Wood.
Malcolm Parks, of Parks Me-
MORALS, has returned from a trip
to Wisconsin and he said today
that the foundation for the me-
mortal would be poured this
week.
The John Gray Memorial fund
committee received another
check this week in the amount
of $500 from Elizabeth Little
Sichiner of Akron, formerly OF
Caldwell and Belle Valley.
This brings the total amount
to $l72.00 for the county's share
in erecting the memorial.
Noble county had been asked
to raise $4,000 toward the over
all cost of 100000 but less than
half that amount has been re-
ceived by the committee.
Any others who are interested
in aiding this cause should senc
their money to the John Gray
fund, % to the Journal-Leadel
office, Caldwell, Ohio. -...
