Destroyed By Fire
On Rado Ridge

The frame home, occupied by
Mrs. Ada Rumbles and her two
daughters, as well as all the con-
tents, was completely destroyed
by fire Saturday.
Located on Rado Ridge, in the
Middleburg C ON M un ity, the

and her daughters were visiting
with Mr.. and Mrs. Leland Field
ner. They discovered the tragic
loss when they returned.
Nothing was saved except the
clothing which the three women
were wearing. Cause of the fire
was not determined.
The Noble county Red Cross
chapter made an appeal today
for clothing for the women as
we'll as furniture, bed clothing
and anything else that could be
used in setting up housekeeping.
Shoes for the women should
be in sizes 612 and or Az and
the clothing should be size IA or
ranging from 1872 to 2212.
Anyone who can help out this
family should contact Mrs.
Josephine Davis at the Red Cross
office in Caldwell. The phone
number is Is.
The property was owned by
Mrs. Alma Rohrer, of Vienna, w.
Va. The three victims of the fire
are staying with another daugh-

near Harriettsville. Another
house has already been secured
for them to occupy, if and when
they have something to put in it..

State Highway
Crews Busy With
Snow Removal Job

Citizens of Noble county are
inclined to take the county high
way department for granted, as
people do in all counties, until a
weekend pops up like the past
one was. No matter what the
weather may be, we find the
highway crews out doing what
ever is necessary in order that
our highways can be kept clear
of hazards and in safety first
conditions.
This past weekend found the
crews out since Thanksgiving
day On up into the first part of
the week scraping snow, sailing
the roads and clearing fallen
objects that obstructed the high
ways. The crews were out, along
with every piece of equipment
available, for "a hours day
until safety had been maintained.
All maintenance work has been
drawn to a halt while the ice
and snow control program has
been in effect. Prior to this, the
department had unloaded 80 car
loads of cinders. The crane was
working on SR 146 between
Sarahsville and Pleasant City
cleaning bitches.
The patching crews were work
ing on SR 146 between Sarahs-
vile and Pleasant City and
patching was also being COM
pleted on SR 513 and SR 145.
SR 566 is still maintaining one
way traffic as the bridge has not
yet been completed.
