James Bill Gets
House Approval

Ohio House Bill No. 502, CO.
sponsored by Noble county Rep
resentative Edmund G.. James,
received majority vote Monday
in the House and is now waiting
approval by the Ohio Senate.
The bill is designed to increase
the states local government sub
sidy from 22-million dollars to
24-million dollars.
1t also provides that the dis
tribution to each local county
government shall be adjusted Sc
that the total amount allocated
to any one county during such
calendar year shall not be less
than 40-thousand dollars.
The bill designates an in
crease of 10-million dollars over
the original amount of 30-nillion
dollars.
Distribution of these local
government funds will be OF
substantial benefit to all political
subdivisions.
Noble county's financial posi-
ton would be handsomely en-
HANGED to the tune of 10-thou-
sand dollars annually if the
James bill gets favorable action
in the Ohio senate and ultimately
made the law of the state by
Gov vernor William O'Neills
signature.

BateSviIIe Student
Lists High In State

Larry Richard Atkinson, of
Batesville high school, was one
of the 253 Ohio high school stu
dents taking top state honors
from among 1886 participants
in the final district-state scholar
ship tests conducted on 19 college
and university campuses, May 4,
it was announced today by the
state department Of education.
Atkinson thus placed with
those who ranked in their sub
ject regardless of the classifica-
ton of their school and who are
the superior students of 1857 in
the Ohio high schools.
With 1923 participants in
American History, Atkinson
made a score of 1877 points, while
the number one student in the
state, Andrew S. Mcfarland of
OWnesville in Clermont county,
made a score of 144 points. The
second, third and fourth ranking
students made a score of 139
points and a tie of 1873 points
with the Batesville student next
in line.
He was the only one from
Noble county to place with such
high rank in the state.

Cob Al Mine
Site Burning

A condition that now exists
at the village dumping grounds,
site of the old Caldwell mine,
could be of serious consequences
if permitted to go unchecked.
A report that the trash ac-
cumulated at the dump was
burning proved to be false, and
a check revealed that the COB
pile, consisting of slate and
shale, was burning instead.
The incident clearly recalls the
Belle Valley "odor" when the
COB pile at the Belle Valley mine
was permitted to burn for a long
period of time. The result there
proved serious inasmuch as the
gas and sulphur fumes played
havoc with the paint on all the
homes and buildings in that
village.
Thousands of dollars in dam
ages to the homes were reported
over the period during which
the burning COB pile was per-
mitted to go unchecked.
1t will be recalled that a
similar situation existed at the
Caldwell mine site several years
ago, but action was taken to
extinguish the smouldering fire.
The fumes given-off by the
smouldering fire creates nauseat-
ing odors and is considered
harmful to persons suffering
with an asthmatic condition.
The burning is centered in the
area where the COB was used for
a ramp when the site was used
recently for dumping and un-
loading strip mined coal.
