Caldwell Alumni
Unit Is Planned

Spearheaded by the individual
efforts of DR.. Charles E. Davis
and Billy Semon, an alumni as
sociation for the Caldwell high
school is being sponsored and dis
cussed at the local level.
Until the organization can be
perfected, Billy Semon has agreed
to serve as temporary chairman.
All alumni interested in such a
movement should contact Semon
by letter or personally and help
in getting the organization off to
flying start.
1t has been suggested that the
organization would charge $1.00
per year dues and hold an an
nual banquet for all those inter-
ested in returning to the scene
of their school days.
An effort will be made to COM
pile mailing addresses of all grad
yates and they in turn would re-
ceive a mimeograph bulletin at
least every three months. This
would serve to keep them inform
ed of the current school year ac-
tivities.
Such an organization certainly
has plenty of merit and any in
terested persons should contact
Billy Semon, Caldwell, Ohio, Civ
ing their views and complete ad-
dress.

Elk Twp. Farmer
Is Still MisSinq

The disappearance of James
Needs, 70, still remains a mystery
to the Harriettsville community.
Needs, a lifelong resident of
the area, disappeared from his
home May Is. An extensive
search, at that time conducted
by the Noble county sheriff's
department, failed to locate any
trace of the body,
Residents of the community
have indicated that no leads have
been opened to suggest a solu-
ton to the mystery. In a month
of elapsed time, several possible
theories have been formed, in an
attempt to answer the question.
AT the present, it is thought
that Needs may have been
struck by a passing motorist.

The Caldwell volunteer fire
department realized $2,239.02
from the collection of their
quarter coin cards which they
distributed to residents of this
community and area just 16
weeks ago.
Total amount collected far
exceeded the goal which the de-
partment had hoped for and
today they expressed their ap-
preciation to each and every one
who made this possible.
At a special meeting of the
fire department Monday night,
the cards in some outlying areas
were collected and then counted.
Should there have been any
missed, it is asked that the cards
be turned in to Ralston's Rexall
store in Caldwell.
The money collected in this
manner and the only solicitation
to be made by the fire depart
ment during the year will apply
on the purchase of their new
fire emergency truck.

ONLY SITS TO 60
 FOR NEW OB TABLE

A big boost was given the Valley Hospital Auxiliary in their project to purchase a new obstetrics table for the valley hospital when members of the American Legion Post and Auxil- iary turned over the sum of $200 to the project. Mrs. Frank Clark, hospital auxiliary president, said that only about $175 more will complete the total amount need ed $140000. A total of $1227.15 has been contributed to date.
 The table was ordered several weeks ago and Mrs. Clark has received notice that it has been shipped and should arrive in Palmer by the end of December. The Auxiliary is most anxious to get the table installed so that it may be put into use as soon as possible. Originally the table was not expected to arrive for three months. This earlier ship ment leaves the fund a bit short and Mrs. Clark stated the Auxil- iary is hoping that organizations or individuals who have planned to make donations and have not yet done so will make them inn mediately 50 that the table may De paid for right away. Helping in the project has been the sup ply house, American Hospital Supply Corporation, which pro- vided a discount on the table purchase amounting to $4O2. co.
 The $200 donated by the local Legion post and auxiliary unit, was raised through a project con ducted for that purpose by the organizations. The prize, a Stein way piano, was awarded to Mrs. Bess Johns last week. Assisting in this project were MT. and Mrs. Bill Miller who made the piano available to the post and auxil- iary for their money-raising pro- iect.
 Persons wishing to contribute to the Hospital Auxiliary's pro- ject may do so by sending their check care of the Auxiliary and marked for the Q. B. table fund.
