Electric bills will be mailed only
to the business places in Caldwell,
according to Mrs. Violet Morgar
eidge, clerk of the board.
Charles Rogers is president, R. D.
Buckey, vice president and William
J. Kimnach, member.
This is the first time in the history
of the community that a gift of this
proportion has been received by the
people of Caldwell.
It was all brought about Wednes
day of this week, when the last and
final installment of approximately
$600 was paid on the new Deisel
engine at the Caldwell Electric light
plant. The note, held by a local
bank, was due Wednesday, Dec. 18,
and promptly paid off.
The floating indebtedness against
Caldwell is only $32.66 and the
board plans to pay this off in Jan
uary. It represents the final install
ment on the City Dump, purchased
several years ago by the city and
located just north of here.
Board members pointed out that
in practically every instance, busi
ness places in Caldwell are owned
by residents who make Caldwell
their home. By dis-counting all bills
for every home consumer, business
men will benefit from the gift in
this manner.
The gift reaches even greater
proportions, when it is pointed out
that December is a heavy consumer
month.
Discussion of the gift started last
summer, when it became apparent
that the indebtedness would be
lifted. Plans were made and per
fected but the announcement was
not made made public until this
nvcolc.
In June, 1940, the debt against
Caldwell stood at $45,808 28 and in
less than six years has been re
duced to $32.66.
Chrismas comes but once a year
according to the Board of Public
affairs, who are ever mindful that
in the final analysis, it was the con
sumer, who was largely responsible
for paying off the debt.
They said it this week with a re
sounding “Merry Christmas” to the
tune of $2,500.
Mrs. L. C. Miller Wages
Successful Fight Against
Attacking Gray Fox
Armed with an axe which she
had previously procured from the
woodshed, Mrs. L. C. Miller, Cald
well route six, successfully killed a
gray fox at her home last Friday.
The fox atttacked the two dogs
on the Miller farm, having pre
viously attempted to get into the
house through the back door. Mrs.
Miller awaited her opportunity and
with one blow killed the fox
breaking its neck. The score—one
dead fox and one excited farm lady.
Mrs. Miller also stated that it was
necessary to shoot the dogs, rather
than take the chance of their going
mad.
Carl Lorey, near Caldwell, was
also attacked last week by the gray
fox, which bit him on the leg. Lorey
was wearing heavy boots and the
teeth of the animal did not pene
trate to the flesh.
Mrs. Miller voiced the opinion of
practically every farmer in Noble
county when she said, “The Noble
commissioners must place a bounty
on these foxes and the sooner the
better”.
This is one item which the com
missioners have promised to take up
at their January meeting but to
date they have been lukewarm to
the idea.
Over in Morgan county, the com
missioners have paid out $3200 to
date in bounties.

the new Republican congress meets.

Examiner Tilton
Completes Audit
Of Noble County
C. E. Tilton Retires
After 24 Years Of
Service To State
C. E. Tilton, state examiner in the
Department of Auditor of State,
completed his audit of the offices
in Noble county, Monday of this
week ,and simultaneously made the
announcement that he will retire at
the end of the year under the Pub
lic Employees retirement system.
A native of Noble county, Mr. Til
ton is well known here and spent his
early life in this community. Prior
to entering the State Service, he
had served in a public capacity as
deputy clerk .of courts in Noble
county, Justice of Peace in Olive
township, councilman in the village
of Caldwell and taught in the public
schools of Olive township.
He entered state service in July,
1922, under the Hon. Joseph T.
Tracy, then Auditor of State.
During the period of his service
with the state, his work has
mainly been auditing and checking
county records as to the receipts
and legal expenditures of public
funds in the hands of the different
county officials and his work has
taken him into counties in many
different parts of the state.
Mr. Tilton stated that it was his
intention to retire on December 31,
1945, but at the request of the Hon.
Joseph T. Ferguson, the present
Auditor of State, remained in ser
vice for the past year.
On completion of his last audit be
fore coming to Caldwell, Mr. Fer
guson assigned him to his native
county of Noble to complete his
service qs a state examiner, before
retiring. This gesture was appre
ciated by Mr. Tilton, who had been
for many years a resident of Cald
well.
Last July, Mr. and Mrs. Tilton
returned to Caldwell to make it
their home and are now residing
on Mill street. They had previously
lived in Columbus, during the per
iod of his state employment.
The following is a list of counties
Mr. Tilton has visited in the line
of duty, many from two to four
times: Adams, Ashland, Athens,
Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Craw
ford, Darke, Defiance, Fairfield,
Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Gallia,
Greene, Highland, Hocking, Holmes,
Jackson, Knox, Lake, Lawrence,
Lucas, Madison, Meigs, Mercer, Mi
ami, Montgomery, Noble, Perry,
Pickaway, Pike, Preble, Ross, Trum
bull, Tuscarawas, Union, Vinton,
Wood and Wyandot.
In completing his audit of Noble
county, Mr. Tilton commended the
county officials, and stated, that as
in every county, only minor irreg
ularities existed.
Reservoir Water
Pipe Line Goes Bad
Approximately 160 feet of the
pipe line which feeds the water
from the Caldwell reservoir to the
city filteration plant has gone bad,
according to local officials, and it
is now being repaired temporarily
until new pipe can be obtained.
Laid in four lengths of 40 feet,
the pipe line was installed on March
1, 1935, with a 30 year guarantee.
It was purchased from the American
Rolling Mill company, now known
as the Armco Drainage and Metal
Products company.
City officials are contacting a
representative of this company and
it is expected that he will come to
Caldwell in the near future and put
an OK on the replacement of the
line which has gone bad.
It has been necessary to make a
number of minor repairs and plug
up the holes but it is not believed
that the system will be seriously
impaired for the time being.
The water is piped from the Cald
well dam to the filteration plant
just outside Caldwell and thence to
the consumers here.

tric machines and 49,633 were strip
mined.
The employees of Noble county’s
mines were paid $31,563 during the
three months. The largest payment,
$22,685, was made to the strip
miners.
A production of 8,173,524 tons of
coal was reported in the state. This
amount represents an increase of
84.6 percent over the strike-ridden
second quarter of the year but only
a .5 percent increase over the same
period in 1945.
by REV. M. S. CASTO
TEXT: John 1:14, “And
the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us.”
One day during the mission
ary journey of Paul and Barna
bas the heathen people would
have done sacrifice to them sup
posing them to be gods. Their
quick conclusion was, “The gods
are come down to us in the like
ness of men”. While mistaken
in this instance yet they spoke
truer than they knew. What
they longed for and could not
see haa actuc’ly occurred in the
far-distant city of Bethlehem.
This is the meaning of our text,
“The Word was made flesh and
dwelt among us."
St. John has a somewhat diff
erent purpose in writing his
gospel from the other evangel
ists. He wrote later than the
others. His great work seems to
be to reveal God, in the Man
Christ Jesus, to show him as the
divine Son of God, the source
of spiritual life, and to show
that eternal life may be had
through Him and only through
Him.
The term “Word" used in the
text is from the Greek word
Logos, and is a peculiar word.
He calls Jesus the Word or Lo
gos because He declares the
Father (John 1:18). He is the
Word of the Father. He declares
the Father in a language all
can understand. “He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father.”
Jesus Christ is God’s message
and also the Messenger to our
needy world.

CALDWELL OHIO THURSDAY DECEMBER 19 1946
ODAY, as friend meets friend, there’s an atmosphere sur
rounding everyone that is one of the most delightful experiences
of the year. It is the time when we greet our friends with a
warm smile, a hearty handclasp and say, “Merry Christmas!’’
Christmas gets us! It gets you! It is an occasion that we
look forward to with glorious anticipation, although too often
forgotten in the hurry to get back to the furious routine of living.
This year, we pledge ourselves to strive to maintain the
spirit of Christmas throughout every day of the New Year,
setting as our goal the desire to be of more efficient service to
our fellowman.
To each of you we extend our very best wishes for the
Holiday Season!

(Christmas
w
with its context here surely can
refer to none other than our
Lord, and may be taken as an
incontestible proof so far as
Holy Scripture is concerned, of
the proper divinity of Jesus.
John wants us to know that
Jesus is our God and is worthy
of worship, being equal in attri
butes and authority with the
Father and the Holy Ghost, in
the mystery of the Trinity.
“Very God of very God”. So
declares the ancient creed. The
theme of our text we call—
“THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE”
I. The Sense and Manner in
which it occurred:
Christ not only assumed a
single human personality, but
human nature in all that means
except sin humanity, into an
indisoluble union with his pre
existent divine personality, so
that he in unique among men.
He is a representative Man. He
is the second Adam from above
representing the whole race in
redemption. He assumes the
penalty demanded by divine
Holiness and pays for us all.
And the payment is satisfactory,
is in full, and is accepted by the
Father. The Father has seen the
travail of His soul and is sat
isfied The secret is not in
vindictiveness on God’s part,
but rather in the sustaining of
divine government, without
which satisfaction all would be
chaos.
When we speak of the man
ner of this miracle we touch
upon an assailed doctrine, es
pecially in our modern day, the
virgin birth of our Lord. May
not God work as he will since
PETTY THIEVING
Several cases of petty thefts have
been reported in Caldwell by busi
ness places and in private homes.
Judge Otto Poling will hold a hear
ing Saturday for the juveniles im
plicated in the case.
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Howard Morrison, of Renrock,
underwent a major operation at the
Cleveland Clinis hospital two weeks
ago and is now much improved. He
expects to be removed to the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Robert Boyd,
649 Schaum Ave., Zanesville, this

VISITING IN FLORIDA

RAY McVAY,
Noble County Auditor.
he is the Maker of us all. Can
his own natural law baffle and
stop Him? The virgin birth is
necessary in redemption. Any
natural conception would pro
duce but a natural man, Him
self in need of redemption. He
could not be EMANUEL, “God
with us”. Heaven and earth
must be equally represented in
the Mediator.
II. The purpose for which this
stupendous change in Diety was
brought about:
It was that he might destroy
the works of the devil. Here is
a paradox. The Lord of all
worlds condescends to become
a babe, and to the suffering of
the cruel Roman cross, and in
doing so conquers, becomes
King of Kings and Lord of
Lords. Tyrants have another
way. This is God’s way.
Sin is the most terrible of the
devil’s works. There are many
by-products. Christ atones for
sin in full. He bears our sins
away when we meet the condi
tions. But worse than acts of
sin is the terrible nature of sin
in the heart. The atonement also
meets this problem. “The blood
of Jesus Christ cleanseth from
all sin.”
And there is a constructive
work in the atonement, “I am
come that they might have life”
said Jesus. He sets up the mind
of Christ on the ashes of the
carnal mind. He is the great
Physician. He is the Good Shep
herd, and the Prince of Peace.
Let us believe this Christmas
miracle not only historically,
but may it be performed in us
as we celebrate the Saviour’s
birth.____________________ ______
Harry Kohut Receives
Terminal Leave Bonds
Harry Kohut of Ava route 1 is
believed to be the first veteran in
Noble county to receive his terminal
leave bonds. The bonds arrived last
week.

bond, for instance, is cashed now
it will only bring $18.75.
There are over 1,000 veterans in
Noble county who have applied for
their terminal leave. During the
next few months, the money will
be rolling into Noble county but
most of it will be in bonds.

NUMBER 23
Annual Christmas
Treat Ready
For Children
C. Of C. Event
Will Be Held
Next Monday
Every child in ‘Noble county has
been extended an invitation by the
Chamber of Commerce to partic
ipate in the free treat and movie,
which has been scheduled for Mon
day afternoon, Dec. 23, beginning
at 2 o’clock.
The usual candv and fruit treat,
together with the free movie, has
been augmented by the Chamber of
Commerce and there will be another
surprise for all the children who
come to Caldwell on that date.
Chamber of Commerce officials
stated today that some difficulty
was experienced this year in obtain
ing a suffiicent supply of candy but
Chester Huprich, who is serving as
chairman of the committee, finally
came through with over 400 pounds.
This is believed to be sufficient
to care for the needs of the chil
dren and provide each and every
one with a Christmas treat from
the merchants of Caldwell and the
surrounding community.
Assisting Mr. Huprich on this
committee is Frank Reed and Gil
bert Weekley.
The first showing of the five car
toons will begin at 2 o’clock in the
Noble theatre. The county schools
will have been dismissed on Friday
evening for the Christmas vacation
and it is expected that they will
flock to the first showing.
The Caldwell school officials will
dismiss the schools here in sufficient
time to permit the pupils to attend
the second showing.
The candy treat was originated
several years ago by the Chamber
of Commerce and it continues to
grow each yuletide. Children from
every nook and corner of the aounty
come to Caldwell for this Xmas
treat.
The merchants contribute several
hundred dollars to make this poss
ible and it is through their com
bined efforts that the annual chil
dren’s treat is greeted so enthus
iastically.
The theatre management cooper
ates in securing the film, suitable
for such an occasion.
The Noble County Chamber of
Commerce is extending a special in
vitation to all parents and their fam
ilies to come to Caldwell next Mon-
day and participate in the holiday
treat.
Two Registered Bulls
Purchased In County
Noble county farmers are fast be

leading the way for future develop
ments here is Brady Archer of
