Jan. 10, up to and including Monday evening, Jan 17 ac
cording to figures obtained from that office.

Steps In As Co-Owner
Schafer's Coffee Shop
North street is now under the
management of Miss Mabel
Gordon and Ralph Schafer, who
are serving as partners in the
business deal.

Since the Coffee Shop was
remodeled and reopened several
years ago, it has been capably
managed by Ralph Schafer and
his brother, Mack Schafer.
Last Thursday morning, Ralph
Schafer bought out the interest
of his brother and that evening,
it was sold to Miss Mabel Gor

Mr. and Mrs. Mack Schafer
and their son are leaving Satur
day for California, where they
made their home prior to coming
to Caldwell.
Miss Gordon has been identi
fied with Schafer's restaurant
for over 26 years, starting at that
time under Roes Schafer as a
dishwasher in the old Columbia
hotel.
Several months ago, Miss Gor
don quit the restaurant business
and became a telephone operator
for the General Telephone com
pany.
The restaurant will continue
with the same high standard
management that it has main
tained in the past under the new
owners.
e¥epp3¥s
Collection of the first half of
1954 on all real estate in the
county will continue until the
latter part of January or the
first week in February.
Officials are of the opinion
that an extension will not be
granted this year since it will
be necessary for Treasurer A. R.
Hicks to make a settlement with
Auditor Gilbert B. Long before
he relinquishes his duties in his
capacity on April 1st.
The collection iSf taxes last
week per day was as follows:
Monday, Jan. 10, $4,272.33: Tues
day, Jan. 11, $3,825.11 Wednes

$2,463.04 and Monday, Jan. 17,
$4,338.43.
A new system was inaugurated
this year by Treasurer Hicks
and it is proving very satisfac
tory according to the deputies,
Patsy Miley and Ruth Ann Dan
ford, who are in charge ot the
office during the illness of
Treasurer Hicks.
Conservation Service
Improves 125 Springs
Dewey Groves Finishes
Third Spring Project
Dewey Groves, Buffalo town
ship, cooperator with the Noble
Soil Conservation District, has
completed his third spring de
velopment. He stated recently,
"We have always been short of
water. These improved develop
ments are the best we've found
in solving our problem. During
the last two years we have built
a bathroom, put in a grade "A"
dairy and plan to have drinking
cups in the barn soon. All these
things take lots of water."
Mr. Groves had to install 350
feet of pipe in the latest develop
ment to provide water for a
night pasture. He also connected
this tank to a cistern for sup
plemental supply to house and
barn.
These springs were designed
by and installed under the sup
ervision of Frank Calvin, farm
planner and Paul Wheeler, con
servation aid, technicians with
the U. S. Soil Conservation
Service.
Members of the Noble Soil
Conservation district have been
improving springs and seeps in
the county for the past four
years and it was estimated by
Farm Planner Calvin that
around 125 developments have
been completed.

Sponsored by the American

Tuesday's Meeting
Results In Possible
Solution For Agreement
At the conclusion of Tuesday's
neeting, held in the courthouse
between officials of the Cleve
and Graphite Bronze Company
nd the members of the negotiat
ng committee, USA-CIO, loqpl
anion No. 4838, there appeared
ome hope of a break in the six
veek-old strike.
Although nothing too definite
has been released in the form
of information, it has been learn
ed that the company presented
to the negotiating committee an
offer calling for a slight increase
over the original three cents.
Apparently the offer was suf
ficient to warrant favorable con
sideration from the committee,
inasmuch they agreed to present
the offer to the union member
ship for acceptance or rejection.
A meeting will be held this
afternoon, Wednesday, at 6:00
o'clock in the union hall, Flor
ence Addition, at which time the
membership will be presented
the company's offer and a vote
taken to determine the expres
sion of the group.
From a general consensus of
opinion taken among several
union members, it is natural to
believe that the company's offer
Is sufficiently enticing that the
majority of th,e membership will
iict favorably and end th« six
week-old strike.
At the meeting held in union
hall last Wednesday, the union
membership by a majority
"standing vote" affirmed the
action of the negotiating com
mittee in their meetings with
the company. John F. Johns,
union representative of the Can
ton district, was the principal
speaker. Also present was
George Turner, union represen
tative of the Cambridge district.
Assisting in the Tuesday meet
ing between company and union
officials was Louis Kah, federal
mediator, Columbus.
Dog Tag Sales Are
Lagging Far Behind
The Noble county dog warden
is going to be busier than a cat
on a tin roof unless the sale of
dog tags picks up in this county.
A check at the office of Audi
tor Gilbert B. Long revealed that
only 798 tags had been issued
on Monday of this week.
Auditor Long pointed out that
the deadline is this Thursday,
Jan. 20, for all tags issued with
out a penalty.
This penalty of $1.00 is fixed
by the state and there can be
no "hunching" according to the
officials.
Usually between 1700 and 1800
tags axe issued each year before
the deadline.
Courthouse Corridor Gets "Tile'
The "tile" lifting job on the first corridor
of the Noble county courthouse is progressing
rapidly by the Zane Tile & Marble Company,
of Zanesville, under the supervision of Herbert
Crosier of that city and Bert Johnson of Out
ville, contractors. The entire wood trim on the
ground floor of the courthouse has been torn
out and is being replaced with brown tile
blocks, 4V4 by 4lA inches. The wood trim
around the doors will remain intact.

possible. In spite of this cut
