Monday morning of this week.
Death was due to a heart attack
which occurred in his sleep.
For many years, Band Director
Wood had been noted throughout
this section of Ohio for the fine
precision marching bands which
he produced year after year at
Caldwell high school.
He labored long and hard in
this task and each year, his
efforts were rewarded with the
finest band in the area of high
school age.
His marching units have ap-
peared at many professional foot
ball games which have been
nationally televised.
Far ahead of other band direc-
tors in this field, Mr.. Wood per-
fected the marching routine for
the Caldwell high school band
at summer camps held each year
and it has only been in recent
years that other high school band
directors have followed Mr..
Woods pattern in perfecting the
fast stepping band units.
A son of Mrs. Bessie Wood
Stanley, of Glouster, and the late
Eliza Wood, he was born Feb. %,
1912 in Athens county. He re-
ceived his higher education at
Ohio University in Athens.
He was a member of the Ma
tional Music association and the

Mariettan CHARGED
With Fraud In Local
.C6CCoa| Company

Charged in a private affidavit
with false pretense involving a
local company, Clyde j. Frazier,
of No. 4 Tiber Way, Marietta,
was bound over to the grand
jury from the Marietta municipal
court, Friday, under $500 bond.
Walter Lane, of Marietta, one
of the owners of the Hill Top
Auto Wrecking Co., accuses
Frazier of purchasing tires,
tubes and other items at the
value of $l41.76 claiming he had
authority to charge the items
to the c & c Coal Co., of Cald-
we'll, where he claimed he was
employed.
A letter from the coal company
informed Lane that Frazier was
not employed by the company
and had no authority to purchase
the items and charge them to the
company. Lane said he did have
authority from Robert Johnson,
one of the owners of the coal
company where Frazier said he
has contract for hauling coal.
Frazier said a certain amount
of money is deducted from his
pay each week and the company
applies this to the bill. He said
license plates were obtained in
the same manner when he started
hauling for the company.

Noble and Muskingum county
officials are Jointly investigating
the theft of 5000 feet of 40
standard wire which was. stolen
last Thursday night or Friday
morning at the Ohio Power strip
mine site in the Cumberland

about 425 pounds of this wire for
$63.75. The wire was sold to the

Watershed Survey
For Duck Creek
Aired Al Meeiinu

A report on the 1859 prelimin-

Valley watershed as it pertained
to Noble county to determine
whether a flood control project
would be possible or practical in
this area was given Tuesday,
Jan. 26 at the watershed meeting
held in the ONG armory.
Horton Alger, deputy state
conservationist from Columbus,
L. c. Watson, soil conservation
service engineer and c. w. Nc
knight, area conservationist,
were in charge of the meeting.
Mr.. Mcknight explained how
interest started in Marietta on
Little Muskingum and Duck
Creek.
Mr.. Alger explained the evolu-
ton and laws concerned with
watershed protection and flood
prevention. Benefits of the pro-
ject must exceed the costs. Local
projects, with federal assistance,
must prove to be strong organiza-
tons and prove the need for
such help
Local organizations pay for
water supply, recreation, etc. that
may be included as multiple
purpose areas over and above
flood prevention.
Ohio has l8 such projects spon-
sored by soil conservation dis
tricts or county commissioners.
