New Consolidation Law

Beginning in January, 1858, the Noble
County Board of Education or the Caldwell
school board, will be relieved of its most
pressuring duty-that of transferring or
consolidating local school districts while
maintaining peace and order among irate
or dissatisfied opponents of the action.
Thanks to the Ohio State Legislature
and its approved new school laws, the
power of transferring part or all of any
district or of consolidating several districts
will lie in the hands Of qualified voters
rather than with a board of education alone.
In the past the local board of education
and all other boards in Ohio were permitted
by law to transfer at any time any portion
or all of school district to any other local
district within the particular boards juriS-
diction.
The only recourse which could be taken
by the people of the district being trans
ferred is that remonstrance petition could
be filed bearing names Of a majority of the
residents of the transferred territory who
voted in the last general election in the
district
If the petition was filed within 30 days
after the county board filed a map of the
transferred territory with the county audi
tor, the boards action would automatically
be blocked
Under the present law, no legal auth
ority is directed to the district receiving the
transferred territory to reject or accept the
transferred distict
If the county boad transferred a district
or section Of a district to a territory out
side Of the countys jurisdiction, recourse
could also be taken by the board Of educa-
ton of the district receiving the transferred
territory who could reject or accept the
transferred territory.
A board could also form a new district
and dissolve any old districts at any time
under the laws which will be ineffective in
January. Under this consolidation method,
all local boards Of education Of the con-
solidated districts would be dissolved and
a temporary board could be appointed by
the county board. This was the method fol-
lowed in creating the new Southern Noble
school district in Noble county, although
it had the full approval of the people within
the districts concerned.
However, the new laws are drastically
different from the present laws, placing
more power both in the hands of the people
in general and the state board of education.
Under the new set-up, the county board
or So per cent Of qualified voters in any
district can sign a petition requesting
portion or all Of their district to be trans
ferred to another district
The request will be placed on the ballot
at the next general election and voted upon
by all voters in the entire district.
General speaking, 80 days must elapse
between the time a petition requesting
transfer is submitted and the date of the
general election.
In other words, even though the board
of education in the Caldwell exempted viii

and this dinner given in their
honor jointly by the United
States Navy and the City of
New York, were chaplains Of
all IA nations who comprise
the membership of NAT2:
Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
France, Germany, Greece,
Italy, the Netherlands, Nor
way, Portugal, Spain, Turkey,
the United Kingdom and the
United States. These cha aplairs
are adherents of five great
religious faiths: Mohammedan,
Greek Catholic, Roman Cath
olic, Jewish and Protestant.
In welcoming these NATO
Naval Chaplains to the United
States on September II, 1857,
Thomas S. Gates, Jr., Secre-
tary of the Navy, made the fol-
lowing statement:
Our concern for Freedom
and Peace for all mankind
amply warranted the calling
of the first NATO Chaplains
Conference in the Netherlands
in August 1856. This initial
pioneering spiritual effort ex-
ceeded expectations.
''It is with a deep sense of
qualification that the United
States Navy chose to act fav-
orably on the recommendation
of the delegates that a second
conference be convened here
in 1857. ..
II have the honor to well
come the delegates and obser-
vers to our country, May your
sessions and deliberations be
rich and challenging. Such
conferences bring meaning and
hope to all free nations, who
aim to build into their citi-
Zens a moral discipline that
would insure a morally virile
world. Such a world is the
surest guarantor of peace
among individuals and nations
alike. Historically and tradi-
tionally, we are as one with
our NATO allies in securing
and preserving the peace.

II wish you all success"
In his telegram of Septem-
Der II, welcoming the NATO
Naval Chaplains, President
Eisenhower referred to the
Conference Motto: There is

and commented that this motto

nation was founded on the
prln2i le that all men are en-
dowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, fore
most among which is the free

ing to the dictates of indi-
vidual conscience. Our Nation
has prospered under God, and

freedom has undergirded the
structure of our National

engaging and interesting din

things, he told me that the
only hope world peace lies in

he said, that has come out of

found the differences between

sequential; and that we are as

AS a result of your pyramid

for 1858 (When you should be
able to beat the standard deduc-

your deductible items for 1857
and 1859 (when you will take
the standard deduction and

general rule to follow when you

of the present Hiramsburg. 1t is

the line of prominence. Follow

some degree of enlargement.
A general store was located
few feet from the railway
track by C. A. Lon) Mcclure,
who successfully conducted it
through the remainder of his
years. Soon thereafter Henry
Shadweu opened a blacksmith
shop and conducted it through
the remainder of his days.
Later U. M. (Madison) Maring
established a jeWelry store and
watch repairing shop in the
village and con inued it the re-
mainder of his life. A Methodist
congregation was organized dur
ing the early years, a church
building was erected and SER
vices held therein and are con-
tinued to this time. Many of the
villages residences are being
maintained in a tidy and neat
appearanCe and would do credit
to even more populous villages.

Cromwell, who died in 1868,

Free-swinging activities of a

and other forms of violence in
the Scranton (Pa.) area. will be
explored by Senate investigators
in public hearings starting Tues
day.
The hearings here by the select
Senate Committee investigating
improper activities in the labor-
management field will involve
local officials of the Teamsters
Union, already under fire. and
three unions OF the AFL-CIO
Building Trades Department.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas, the committee
chairman. identified the building
trades unions as the Carpenters,
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, and common
laborers.
Grave Question OF Ethics
"One aspect of the investiga-
ton" said Senator Mcclellan
will present a very grave ques-
ton of ethics. in that there have
been court convictions of union
officers for offenses that should
disqualify them from holding
office in their unions.
However, they are still in
office and appear to have as
much control as they did before
their convictions"
Senator Mcclellan said he ex-
pected the hearings TO disclose
evidence of conspiracy by officials
of different unions in organizing
work. of violence and "of coer-
cion to deprive union members
of their right" Management,
he added, would not be involved
in this series of hearings.
While saying the hearings
