CLARENCE J. ESTADT, JOHN
We urge you to act quickly for the sooner the potential
lanpower is determined, the more quickly we will learn
tie possibility of obtaining a Guard unit.
A word of caution. Don't pad the figures. It would be
luch better to have 50 men who would be active than 100,
fho wouldn't show up.
Act quickly but act wisely.
Three Year Contract
The Caldwell exempted village school board of education
as extended to Supt. George W. Webb a contract for three
ears to head the local system and it has been accepted.
Supt. Webb spent one year in Caldwell, coming here
fill the vacancy created by the resignation of P. D. Can
avan.
He can look back to a very successful term and this
urely must have been the opinion of the board in extend
mg his contract for another three years.
The board also extended and it was accepted a three
/ear contract for Coach Billy Jones, who is rapidly becoming
an important part of this community.
In addition to those, whose contracts had expired and
were renewed, including Mrs. Dale Ackley, Mrs. Richard
Douglass and Mrs. Joseph Yontz, the board hired two new
teachers to fill existing vacancies.
This included James Carter as the vocal instructor and
Mrs. Rama Groves Steen as English teacher.
Both will add much to the staff of the Caldwell schools
and there is every reason to believe that much progress will
be made as we move forward in the teaching of the citizens
of tomorrow.
Echoes From Calvary
In the quiet garden of Gethsemane,
Under the leafy green of the olive tree
There our Lord knelt down to pray,
In agony of soul He bowed that day.
"Oh my Father, let this cup pass from me:
Never the less not as I will, but as thou wilt."
Jesus final words in the upper room to His friends is
one of quiet confidence: ''These things I have spoken unto
vou, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheery I have overcome
the world."
Thus speaks One who, having set out to fulfill the hopes
of the ages, finds, at the end of His work, that He has won
only the uncertain devotion of a handful of men and is con
fronted with the Cross.
He goes forward willingly, assured that His victory is
already as good as won: *'Be of good cheer: I have overcome
the w#rld."
Jesus then expresses His aspirations in a sublime prayer.
In this high priestly intercession Jesus appeals to the Father
on behalf of the disciples. Jesus communes with His Father
on His coming glory. Through His Crucifixion and Resur
rection that glory will be manifested and the gift of eternal
life made available for all mankind.
From the warm intimacy of the Upper Room, Jesus
goes out with His disciples to comfort "the world." Leaving
the city, they cross over "the brook Cedron," and then enter
the garden of Gethsemane. "Then saith he unto them, my
soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here,
and watch with me." There in agony He prayed, saying, "O
my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt." The disciples
fell asleep and could not watch even one hour with Him.
Now we see Jesus going forth to meet the advancing
foe. He was sent "bound unto Caiaphas the high priest."
Peter, one of the disciples entered the courtyard where
Jesus was being questioned and denied his Lord for the
third time as the cock crew. "And the Lord turned, and
looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the
Lord, how He had said unto him, before the cock crows,
thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out and went
bitterly."—BERNICE HARDESTY HINTOtf

General Leo Kreber, adjutant general of the state of
)hio and director of Civil Defense, is quite anxious to
:now the number of men in Noble County who would be
nterested in joining the Ohio National Guard, should such
unit be located in the county.
This is one of the first requirements, General Kreber
ointed out, now that he is so certain the county as a whole
eally desires such a unit.
On a recent visit to Caldwell, the general was especially
•leased with the community in general and spoke highly
the large number of resolutions he had received from
Tactically every organization in this sectioft.
Now that the need is evident, the general is quite
nxious to know the number of inen who would join such
n outfit.
This is absolutely necessary before the type of unitffor a
ommunity this size can be specified.
Potential members of the Ohio National Guards are
rged to write Rep. Edmund G. James and signify their in
entions of joining the outfit, if and when it is located here.
The greater amount of manpower, the larger the unit,
nd we urge all those eligible to get busy and contact their
epresentative in writing.
This number will eventually be turned over to General
Lreber and he, in turn, can determine the type of unit to
e located in Noble County.
Organizations could determine a collective strength by
oiling their own membership and then sending the total
umber to Rep. James at his office in Caldwell.

finals in Cincinnati Gardens this weekend by
defeating Rio Grande, 70-53, in regional play
at Athens. For the first time in years, South
eastern Ohio will be represented in both the
class A and finals, with Zanesville going
all the way in class A. Pleasant City Tigers
will open tournament play in Cincinnati at
Pleasant City Fights Their Way To State Final!
Congratulations Are In Order
Congratulations are in order to neighboring Pleasant
City, who will be watching their highly touted basketbal
team perform in the state finals this weekend in Cincinnati
Gardens, under the powerful coaching of Bill Cantor.
The Tigers have swept through county sectional, dis
trict and regional play to win a coveted spot in the state
tourney finals and they are the toast of Southeastern Ohio
this week.
Their record to date is an outstanding one and this com
munity joins with their home town rooters in wishing them
all the best as they vie for the crowning laurels in Cincinnati.
Led by high scoring Dick Kovalchik and Gary Harper,
the Pleasant City orange and black five has gone farther
down the heart break trail than any other team in Guernsey
and Noble Counties since the days of the Cumberland Vik
ings back in 1923.
At Athens, Saturday evening, a delegation numbering
several hundred ardent Pleasant City fans rooted their team
on to victory. Headed by Mayor Jack Hannon, everyone
was there and it is a safe bet that Pleasant City, was one
dead town last Saturday night for several hours.
We are proud of our neighboring Pleasant City Tigers
and like the others, hope they go all the way.
It is an honor to salute the Pleasant City Tigers and

Military Career Incentives
Last week, the Hou.sc of Rep
resentatives took the first step
to insure the passage of a bili
for higher pay for the men and
women in our Armed Forces.
This action, strongly recommend
ed by the President, is based
upon an urgent need to provide
greater stability in all ranks of
pur military personnel. The re
cognition of the need was amply
demonstrated by the overwhelm
ing bi-partisan vote of 399 to 1
by which the measure passed
the House on March 10. The pay
increases range from 6 to 25%.
For several years the Armed
Forces have been experiencing
an alarming turn-over in per
sonnel. Re-enlistments have
continued to fall oft as men with
valuable skills have returned to
their former civilian occupations
or have accepted attractive of
fers from private industry. With
the heavy defensive require
ments of the atomic age, the
constant necessity for retraining
on such, a massive scale can
weaken the Nation and rep»
resents astronomical costs. The
new legislation is intended to
offer greater incentive to men
and women both to enter the
services voluntarily and to make
a career of the military. Thus,
the skills which they acquire in
prolonged and costly training
will not be lose to the Nation,
Government Purchasing
With the wholehearted ap?
proval of most of us, the past
two years has witnessed the
Federal Government discontinu
ing many of its ventures into in
dustrial production in competi
tion with private industry. How
ever, Uncle Sam's need for the
manufactured products of in
dustry continues at a high level
despite a decline in purchasing
since the end of hostilities in
Korea.
Undoubtedly the United States
Government is the world's larg
est single customer and, so long
as our defense requirements are
great, is likely to remain so for
many years. I believe it would
be a serious oversight if our in
dustries in Southeastern Ohio
did not avail themselves of this

It's been happening week after week.
More people coming in every day to see, sit in,
sample and select the '55 Buick of their choice.
More people than ever before in our history.
That's why you see so many new Buicks on the
road today. And that's why —to meet this un
precedented popularity Buick production has
been boosted to the highest levels of all time.
Buick Sales Are Soaring
The simple measure of it all is this: Buick is so
"hot"an automobile that it now outsells all other cars
in the United States except two of the best-known
smaller cars. And for reasons sound, substantial
and thrilling.
Buick styling, you see, was never so crisp, clean,
distinctive. Buick horsepower was never so high
Buick interiors never so rich Buick's great
ride never so satin-smooth and steady.
But there's something else, too something
vastly different and exciting.

Changing Seasons
Dear Editor:
When I was a boy here in Koon Holler we sure had some
severe winters. There was plenty of snow. I recall walking over
the top of rail fences on the snow. It would start falling in October
or first of November and stay on the ground all winter. The creeks
and river would be frozen over all winter long. One of the sports
of those days was a ride on the bob-sled on a moonlit night. Gosh
them was the days.
Now wc do not have enough snow to cover the winter wheat.
Streams are seldom frozen over and the sleds have rotted away
and the skates have rusted. No more use for them. Here it is the
middle of October and we can go in our shirt sleeves and drive
with the car top down.
Have been reading up on this changing season business. Some
claim that in the next fifty years or less palm trees will be growing
here in Koon Holler and we will have tropical heat. Many of our
lovely hills will turn to sand dunes and barren peaks. Gosh we
don't need to wait for the tropics to change them. The farmers or
some of them at least,, are doing that to our hills now. If they don't
do it the coal strippers will. The hard rains come down that is they
came once upon a time, and away goes what soil that is left.
If we should ever have tropical weather here in Ohio and the
middle states industry will move to northern Canada for people
loose their energy in hot climates. During the hay day of.the.. New
Deal we saw the same results when hundreds used shovel handles
to lean upon. Yep, I recon the future has many hot surprises for
us and one of them will be Red hot.
