For Safety's Sake!

those Of moderate wealth" can
meet the expresses. Necessary
building repairs, increased sal
aries and scholastic books and
other supplies are the primary
cause of the increase. Added to
this is the cost of daily noon

Republican candidates for re-
election as United States SEN
ators may succeed throughout
the nation, yet those who have
been endorsed by President
Eisenhower, will act wisely by
not letting the public know of
it. The result of the recent cleo
ton in the state of Maine proves
what may happen should they
make such an endorsement
known. To say the least its
very regrettable political situa-
ton. Either none or all should
have been endorsed
Dwight F. Wiley, former mayor
of Caldwell and recently ap-
pointed by the board of county
commissioners to fill the vacancy
created by the recent death of
County Treasurer A. r. Hicks,
has announced that he will seek
election to fill the vacancy at
the coming November election.
His name will appear on the Re-
publican ticket on the ballot Mr.
Wiley is a descendant of the
pioneer Republican Wiley fam
lies that for SO many years oc-
cupied a high and prominent
position in the citizenry of this
county. He has the endorsement
of the county Republican COM
mittee to fill the vacancy.
When Uncle Sam GU. 81 was a
young man, a mere STRIPPING, well
onto two hundred years ago, he
was quiet, calm, inoffensive but
full of energy, ambitious, ener-
getic, determined, progressive,
successful and all that went with

he began to demonstrate his
American rights as citizen of

serted his power until other
nations gave him marked atten-

pinnacle of fame, Later all this
somewhat began to deteriorate
until today the pinch is begin
ming to be felt in many instances.
The remedy? We leave it to you.
Not a present resident of Noble
county remembers when there
was sugar camp" Immediately
south of Caldwell which was
operated by pioneers of the
| Caldwell and Mckee clan. From
the trees surrounding the camp
was secured sufficient sugar
water from which was used IN
the manufacture of fine syrup
that was purchased by the cen
| liens of nearby and distant set
| Elements. This industry" was
continued for many years anc
was succeeded by Silas Thorla
| a young man at the time, who
alone established and for many
years operated molasses fac
tory near Renrock, in the west
ern part of Noble county, max
ing sorghum molasses and syrur
that was eagerly sought and re
lished in this and adjoining coun
ties. Due to his greatly advanced
years, Silas suspended opera
ton of the industry several year:
since, much to the regret of The
entire public.
In some states of the soutl
boards of education have refused
to open public schools in defiance
of court orders admitting colorec
children thereto. Could sucl
action eventually lead to anothe,
civil war through an attempt a
state secession from the union
such as that Of a hundred year
ago that did bring about such ;
war? BY all means let us al

there is a movement on foot t.
