county property, records indicate
that $4,000 was used to pay off
an indebtedness brought about
due to the negligence and lack
of proper application of the law
on the part of the county COM
missionerS.
The present board of county
commissioners from the very
beginning took a determined
stand toward the idea the
challenge could be met with an
honest presentation of program
that every dog must have a
license . in other words, all
dogs must be properly identified,
and if not, those without must
not be permitted 10 remain a
nuisance to society.
To date, IA affidavits have
been filed against violators; one
person has been fined, one case
exeronated, four are waiting for
hearings, eight have purchased
tags to conform with the law,
and the dog warden reports a
large number of dogs have been
destroyed and impounded.
A record sale of 2400 licenses
has been reported this year. A
check shows that more than 600
tags have been sold this year
over last, which clearly indicates
the laxity of public officials
regarding their responsibility for
enforcing the law.
The county dog warden is
unrelentlessly continuing his
work by checking areas where
it is reported that dogs remain
untagged.
The county commissioners
have implied their continued
support in placing the dog and
kennel fund on a pay-as-you-go
basis. When claims are submitted
and records at the courthouse
substantiate the existence of such
stock, the commissioners will
have sufficient money in the
fund to pay any such just claims.

Plea Made To
Make HOUSING
Facilities Known

The increasing number of
pipeline workers arriving daily
in Caldwell is beginning to bear
evidence of the existing extreme
urgency of needed adequate
housing facilities.
With available faci1itie S
already being taxed, the need
for additional housing cannot be
over-emphasized.
The Noble County Chamber
of Commerce is exerting every
available source at their com
mand to bring this all-important
matter to the attention of the
people in the area.
Mikes Tire Shop, on the
square, has been designated the
information center or clearing
house for all inquiries.
Persons having room space
available should contact or call
Mikes Tire Shop and list what
they can provide in affording
housing convenience for the in
coming construction workers.
The number to call is: Caldwell
200!
The need is urgent. Joe Yontz,
president of the Chamber of
Commerce, is making a special
plea to all persons with avail
able housing space, asking that
they respond to this all-impor-
tant emergency.
Yontz stated that the entire
area is asked to cooperate.
Already many have been located
in surrounding communities thru
the cooperation of Mrs. Mary
Hanes at Mikes Tire Shop, who
is working untiringly to locate
persons desiring housing facili-
ties.
Mrs. Hanes has asked that
where rooms have been vacated
by persons moving to other 1oca-
tions, the owner should call 200
and advise them in order that
they might reschedule their
space for another occupant.
A needed requirement is
limited cooking facilities for
pipeline families.
Persons having trailer space
should also list their property
with Mikes Tire Shop. Call 200!

Sight Saving
Program Ends
In The Schools

Richard Douglass, elementary
supervisor for the Noble county
schools, said today that in con-
junction with the sight saving
program, the telebinocular had
been taken to every school in
the system and it had been used
on more than 1900 children.
The telebinocular was pur-
chased for the schools by the
Caldwell Lions club as part
of the sight saving program. In
some cases, where it was in
dicated that children needed
glasses to correct their vision
and the family could not afford,
the cost was assumed by the
Lions club.
In every school visited, differ
ent mothers were instructed in
the use of the telebinocular and
they did much to aid the sight
saving program in the various
communities.
1t was also announced that
the county teachers, in two
separate groups, visited and en-
joyed a tour of the Caldwell
plant, CGB, Wednesday and Fri
day afternoons of this week.

Crack Down On
Keeps
JP Carter Busy

Justice of the Peace Leo E.
Carter reported today that he
had collected total of $1,177.4l
last month in the JP court from
fines.
The JP handled 81 cases in his
court last month including 80
from the sheriff's department
and II from the state highway
patrol.
JP Carter reported that of the
total amount, $951.91 was turned
over to the Noble county treas
urer, and S10125 to the state
highway patrol.
The sheriff's department is
going all out in their effort to
prevent the new section of USR
q, south of Caldwell, from
becoming speedway and death
trap for motorists.
Sheriff Donald way
warned today that this section
of the highway, as well as the
others, is being patrolled almost
constantly and practically all the
arrests listed above were made
on the new section of this heavily
travelled highway.
This strict enforcement of the
speed laws will be maintained
constantly or until the speeding
has been broken up, Conaway
stated.

Three Injured
In Auto Wreck
North OF Ava

Three Noble county residents
were injured Saturday at 4:30
p. m, when they were involved
in an accident on USR 81 in the
Ava community, according to
the Cambridge state highway
patrol, who investigated.
Injured in the collision were
Walter c. Rogers, SO, of Sarahs-
vile route l, driver of the auto,
and two. passengers, Taylor
Rogers, 79, and his wife, Ann, 78,
Of Caldwell route 6. The driver
sustained decorations above the
eye and abrasions of the head
while both passengers suffered
bruises and abrasions to the
chest. No one was hospitalized.
The state patrol said the ac-
cident occurred when the north
bound Rogers car slowed on the
highway to make a turn and
was struck from behind by an
auto driven by William H. Ray
ner, %, of Ava route l.
Rayner was cited by the
patrol on charge of failure to
stop within the assured clear
distance ahead. He appeared
before Mayor Roy Seamster in
Belle Valley and was fined $40
and costs after he entered a
plea of guilty to the charge.

Better Service
For SarahsviIIe
Given Impetus

The General Telephone Co.
announced today that by Septem-
Der of this year all the pre-
liminary work such as surveys,
cost of installation, will be COM
pleted which ultimately will
pave the way for better tele-
phone connection with the
Sarahsville Telephone Company.
This encouraging information
was noted in correspondence
from E. M. Owens, eastern
division manager, New Phila-
delphia, when discussing means
of improving telephone service
between the district exchange in
Caldwell and Sarahsville.
According to a comment by an
official of the Sarahsville Tele-
phone Co. the proposed move by
the General Telephone Company
would greatly improve reception
between the two exchanges.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion has already established in
previous ruling that it is
possible for the General Tele-
phone Company to extend its
lines a distance OF approx
mately two and six-tenths miles
from the Caldwell village cor
poration in the direction of
Sarahsville. This presents nearly
one-half the distance to SarahsE
vile.
With the establishment of a
new right-of-way for extending
its lines and placing telephone
standards the established dis
tance allowed by law, it is quite
feasible that the Sarahsville
exchange will follow similar
course and meet the General
lines.
1t is recommended that new
three-circuit connection be in
stalled, which will definitely
improve the service to and from
the eastern county village.
At the present time the one
line circuit, property of the
Sarahsville exchange, follows
that of the Mt Ephraim ex-
change into Caldwell.
1t is quite likely that d new
right-of-way will be established
by the General Telephone Com
pany in running to its boundary,
that being in the area of the
farm home of Otto Heller on
SR 285.
The Sarahsville Telephone
Company has inaugurated pro-
gram for improved service thru
the General Telephone Company
district exchange in Caldwell.
Already increased fees have been
approved by its 100 patrons to
make possible this sorely needed
improved service.
Audrey Trenner, of Ava, was
recently appointed the new
Sarahsville operator, replacing
Mrs. Harlan Butler, who resigned
due to i'll health.
Officials of the Sarahsville
Telephone Company who are
actively supporting the cause for
improved telephone service are
president of the company, Red
mond Archer, and Secretary
William Senple.

Opening lead: Jack of spades.
Mr.. Abel led the jack of spades

was Mr.. Masters reasoning in
ducking the trick. First he could
not hope to win more than three

two club tricks.
Now. if the opposing spades
