The first initial move in th
major plan to increase the vi!

pleted last week, according
Mayor Homer Johnson. The in

4,000,000 gallons of water to tl
present approximately 100,00C

source.
The storage of the additional
four million gallons represents
nearly two week's consumption
at the present rate.

see the water's edge as it nears
the approach of the stop log.

Martin W. Shafer
Loses Load of Gob
Martin W. Shafer, better
known as "Whet" Shafer of the
Sarahsville community, lost con
trol of his stake truck, Monday
evening, at 6:00 o'clock on U. S.
Route 21, just below the city
hall in Belle Valley.
Shafer had ju9t left the Mos
crip Mining"*Corp., with a load
of gob, when he failed to nego
tiate the curve below the Uro
home. The truck went off the
highway and overturned when
Shafer attempted to steady the
vehicle.
Shafer was removed in the
McVay ambulance to St. Francis
hospital, Cambridge, where he
was treated for bruises and then
dismissed to his home on Cald
well route 6.
The older man was accompan
ied by Robert Bond, 7, county
ward, who was thrown through
the windshield but landed on a
grassy plot and was uninjured.
The truck was equipped with a
safety windshield, which drops
out in a crash or collision. Other
wise the child could have been
severely injured.
Marshall Taylor and Bernard
Carnes directed traffic during
the hour which elapsed after
the accident. The truck was later
towed to the Ford garage in
Caldwell.
The business will be inter
spersed throughout both morn
ing and afternoon sessions by
songs and devotions with the
various Sunday schools in the
association participating.
The complete program is as
follows: morning session: open
ing song prayer by Rev. Paul
Brown union Sunday school
song, Connor Sunday school
reading of minutes song, Web

Covers NOBL-£ JZOUNTY L/-£
Noble County to
Vote On Four
Amendments
Popular Support
Not Likely On
All The Issues
Ohio and Noble county voters
will decide the fate of four con
stitutional amendments next
November and the fate of a
fifth amendment in the 1954 fall
election.
The Ohio 100th General As
sembly voted to ask popular ap
proval of $500,000,000 in bonds
foiv highway purposes, a state
board of education, a move to
make all male citizens between
18 and 45 eligible for military
service and another to take
"deadwood" material from the
constitution.
Due for popular decision in
1954 is a fifth amendment to set
up four year terms for members
of both houses of the legislature
and all state officials.
The amendment on a state
board of education is desired to
remove the public schools com
pletely from politics.
This ballot will be presented
to the voters of Noble county, in
addition to township and village
officials, county and local school
boards and special tax levies,
although none to date has been
filed with the election board.
The state issues have not yet
been given much publicity but
they are not likely to meet with
the general approval of the
public in the coming months be
fore the election.
The proposed $500,000,000 in
bonds for highway purposes is
bound to run into difficulty, as
well as the four terms for legis
lature members and the military
requirement for all males be
tween 18 and 45 years old.
One amendment which should
have clear sailing is that to
create a state board of education
and get the schools out of poli
tics on the state level.

Top Gissussion ill Slate Keeling Of
Moncmeiit Builders Of Ohio, Inc.
The trustees were told that
it has been proposed that this
monument be erected in the
courthouse square at. Cald
well and that John Gray is
now buried in a private ceme
tery near Hiramsburg.
The following letter, which is
self-explanatory, recently was
sent by Arnold G. Lundberg,
president of Monument Builders
of Ohio, Inc., to the editor of the
Ohio State Journal:
"I have read the article by
Karl B. Pauly appearing in the
Ohio State Journal. This very
fine bit of historical writing has
again directed our attention to
the well-nigh forgotten grave of
Ohio's last surviving veteran of
the Revolutionary War, John
Gray, which is1 located in Noble
county. Some time ago a similar
article appeared in one of our
trade papers.
Last summer, we requested
the executive secretary of Monu
ment Builders of Ohio, Inc., to
investigate this matter. He im
mediately complied, going to
Hiramsburg and photographing
the marker that is erected at
Mr. Gray's grave. He reported
that the site is rather inacces
sible, in, a remote location and
that it would hardly be feasible
to erect any type of Memorial
at the present site.
If the suggestion that closes
Mr. Pauly's article were to ma
terialize, and the mortal remains
of John Gray were to be trans
ferred to the courthouse square
in Caldwell, I am sure that the
Monument Builders of Ohio, Inc.,
would be most cooperative in
seeing that an appropriate Me
morial was erected to the me
mory of this great pioneer.
