Milk Herds Must
Gei Blood Tests
For ". Va. Sales

According to an announcement
from Floyd Henderson, Noble
county agent, milk producers
throughout the county who sell
milk to dealers having markets
in West Virginia are being mott
fled that their herds must be
blood tested for Brucellosis not
later than Monday, Dec. 16 in
order to continue to sell milk to
these dealers.
This ruling also applies to
shippers supplying milk to Mari
eta and Wheeling markets and
is in keeping with orders from
the West Virginia Department of
Health.
Due to the short time and the
limited number of veterinarians
available to do the work, there
is some question whether all
herds can be tested before the
deadline. Arrangements have
been made whereby the produc-
ers may qualify to continue to
ship milk, provided he has made
request from a local veter-
marian to have his herd tested
as soon as possible. This request,
however, will need to be on file
before the deadline, Monday,
Dec. Is, Henderson stated.

Stolen And Then
Abandoned Here

Monday morning of this week,
the sheriff's department was
busy with several calls on stolen
automobiles and the investiga-
ton is still being continued.
Rodney Buckley of Coal Ridge
notified the sheriff's department
that an attempt was being made
to steal a car which was parked
near his home on USR 81.
The alleged thieves were un-
successful but Sheriff Donald
Conaway did find a car, which
they are believed to have aban-
doned, about a mile north of the
Buckley home This car was
believed to have been stolen at
Cleveland.
The culprits continued on to
Belle Valley where they did steal
a car owned by Thomas r. Nc
Cune. Although there was no
key in this car, the ignition was
turned on by using a ce Ct
tin foil from pac..age of
cigarettes.
But their luck ran out again
near Ziler's garage when the
McCune vehicle stalled on them
and they again abandoned this
car.
1t is understood they were
picked up by motorist south
of Caldwell, as they hitchhiked
their way to Marietta, but no
trace of the two subjects has yet
been found.

Semi-Trattor Trailer
Disrupts Light Service

A heavily loaded semi-trac-
tor trailer from Houston,
Texas, played havoc with the
Christmas lighting in the
business district of Caldwell,
Monday night, as well as all
the street lights.
The truck was so heavily
loaded that it tore out several
electric lines on Main street
and the village was without
street lighting service for the
balance of the evening.
In addition to this difficulty,
one of the engines at the Cald-
we'll light plant wasn't work
ing satisfactorily and the serv-
ice was curtailed.

Property Destroyed
By Tuesdays Blaze

The small one-room home of
Raymond "Possum" Smith was
destroyed by fire Tuesday morn
ing at Carlisle on the Elk Fork
road.
The Caldwell fire department
received the call at 9:55 a. M,
but the small home had already
been leveled to the ground by
the blaze when they arrived.
A bucket brigade saved a
small shed nearby from catching
on fire until the department
arrived.
The property is owned by
Mary Crum and the loss was
partially covered by insurance.

electric wire caused the blaze.

start paying for it.
Treasurer Hicks said today
that every effort is being made
to have the tax books ready to
