Steep, Hilly Land Converted To Profitable
Business In Production Of Christmas Trees
John Wargo, science instructor in the Belle Valley high school,
has found the production of Christmas trees a profitable enter
prise for steep, hilly land, according to Frank Calvin, farm planner
tor the U. S. Soil Conservation service.

Mr. Ralph W. Moore
Caldwell, Ohio
I certainly appreciate receiving
copies of the newspaper clippings
which have recently appeared in
the Caldwell Journal as well as
ads on COBA service. I think
that it is terrific that you are
getting this much publicity. I
hope it will be possible for you
to continue to figure angles of
getting pictures and information
in the local papers having to do
with the Central Ohio Breeding
Association and it's service to
dairymen.
The publicity that you receive
at the time of your annual meet
ing was exceptional, I think that
the person or persons responsible
are certainly to be commended
for the effort.
Sincerely yours,
Central Ohio Breeding Assn.

Dear Clarence:
For some time 1 have been
hoping that someone would take
the initiative to "round up" our
class of 1931. In order to get some
idea what other people think I
am writing this letter and ask
ing that you publish it in the
Journal Mail Bag.
Someone will have to take
action, so I am asking that you
act as chairman and appoint a
committee to make some plans.
As you were the class president
during our senior year it would
seem logical for you to do this.
If we do not do something this
year, our twenty-fifth anniver
sary, I doubt if we ever do.
I would suggest that any mem
bers of the class who read this
letter write their address and
any other information to Mrs.
Chester Hayes, East Bridge
Street, Caldwell, Ohio, at once.
Also I would ask that anyone
knowing the address of mem
bers of our class contact her at
once, so a mailing list can be
compiled. She is willing to do
this and I feel that it would be
better than for me to do it as I
am too far away.
Use whatever plans you think
advisable, but let's do something
this year. I am offering these
suggestions to get the ball roll
ing. Time is getting short, but
it is far from too late to have a
class reunion.
Sincerely Yours,
Earl Tarleton

A cooperator of the Noble Soil
Conservation District since 1946.
Mr. Wargo has planned his farm
with the assistance of the techni
cians of S.C.S. About 50 acres of
the 80 acres he owns is in the
production of Christmas trees.
In 1935 the Civilian Conserva
tion Corps established a small
plantation of red and white pine
on erroded areas of the farm,
then operated by Mr. Joseph
Wargo, John's father. With this
beginning and the interest of his
father for wise land use,
additional pine plantings were
established. John Wargo and his
father sold a few Christmas
trees as a thinning operation in
1942.
Returning from the Army in
1946, John Wargo has concen
trated on Christmas tree pro
duction. In the last nine years
sales have practically doubled
each year.
-He. -Jaas ..developed some ideas
which have been useful to him.
By carefully shearing and shap
ing the trees from the third year
after planting, his white pines
are in constant demand for prime
Christmas trees. He also has red
pines which sell exceptionally
well. Then, too, planting five
feet apart each way, he can plant
approximately 1700 trees per
acre.
Recently, he has planted a
wide variety of other evergreens
including Austrian, Scotch,
Douglas Fir, Colorado Blue
Spruce and Norway Spruce. Soon
he will reach a total of 90,000
trees on his 50 acres of planting
area. He counts on about an
eight or nine year rotation with
the first cutting of four or five
foot trees after about five years
after planting. At the present
time his prime trees are retail
ing for as much as $3.00 a piece
at the farm.
Mr. Wargo also teaches Science
classes at the Belle Valley high
school. He uses his farm as part
of natural science laboratory
with nature trails.
TAKES A SHARP DROP
Sales tax receipts in Noble
county for the week ending Jan.
21 took a sharp drop in Noble
county, according to figures
released by State Treasurer
Roger W. Tracy. In Noble county
for this week in 1956 they totaled
$1,355.35 compared to $3,093.50
for the same time in 1955. Despite
this sharp drop, however, re
ceipts for 1956 continue to lead
those in 1955 with a total of
$78,428.82 compared to $69,265.91.

Lai a y Ross, Ralph Biumbach, Sam Bates, Leon Bates,
Wally Hill and Ronald Ross, all local students at Caldwell,
work on several of the chemistry experiments required in
the science department. Each of the new desks provides gas,
water and storage facilities for the 22 students enrolled in the
chemistry class under the supervision of Gilbert Weekley.

Here again, there again, back
again Flannigan that seems to
be the story of the chemistry
lab at Caldwell high school.
In the middle of January, the
local school opened its new
science and chemistry depart
ment for student use. All of the
equipment has returned once
again to its original location on
the third floor of the building.
The sinks, desks and test tubes
are not new to that area as they
occupied the same room back in
the 1930's. To the older alumni of
Caldwell, the room might seem
familiar, but the equipment has
little resemblence to the older
lab.
In the place of the antiquated
faucets and rough desks, the
room features beautiful new
equipment capable of providing
facilities for 24 students. As an
added feature, it can be used as
a classrooip. In the near future,
Biology, Physics and general
science will also be taught there.
Gilbert Weekley, principal of
the high school and chemistry
teacher, explained that the pre
sent facilities were "the best
money could buy." Each desk,
accommodating four students,
provides adequate facilities for
all lab experiments from gas to
water to storage space.
Included with the shiny blond
furniture with acid proof tops,
are two teacher demonstration
tables and a gadget called a
"hood". The latter piece of
equipment, explained Weekley,
is an air duct device in which
posionous gas is created. He
pointed out that the state of Ohio
does not permit dangerous lab
experiments of this type unless
properly conducted within a
ventilating system.
The new lab was installed at
an approximate cost of 3500 dol
lars and opened the ground floor
of the building for an expanded
industrial arts shop.

THE JOURNAL, CALDWELL, OHIO
New Science and Chemistry Department Completed For Caldwell High
What at one time was the
basketball floor is still that, but
it would be difficult to play the
game in the present surround
ings. Scattered here and there
are the many and varied ma
chines necessary in such a de
partment.
Of course, when the chemistry
lab was moved to the upper
floor, the wood and metal work
ing department expanded into
the newly acquired area. What
used to be the scene of wood
shavings and sawdust now fea
tures the residue of metal lathes
and the hot crackle of electric
and gas welding devices.
Subray Dahood, head man on
the ground floor, estimated that
it would cost between three and
five thousand dollars to replace
the present equipment. The 78
boys enrolled in the department
have access to metal and wood
shapers and lathes, two welding
outfits, a variety of wood work
ing tools. At the present, one
of their projects includes the
making of stub boxes for the
county voting system.
Dahood explained that a great
deal of the old chemistry lockers
were saved and have provided
excellent storage space for
mechanical drawing tools and
departmental projects.
At the end of a fascinating
tour he said, "we have one of the
best equipped shops of any
school this size in the state of
Ohio."
Here again, there again, back
again Flannigan would be an
appropriate phrase, but not all
inclusive. With the latest changes
the chemistry and industrial de
partments have perhaps found
permanent homes. Both have ac
quired a better environment des
tined to provide better educa
tion for the community children.
Wayne Robbins and son, Jr.
spent Saturday with Mr. and
Mrs. Ray King and family of
Zanesville route.
Located once again in its original room, the chemistry
lab of Caldwell High School features mockrn equipment for
24 students. Installed at a cost of approximately $3,500.00 the
department now features an excellent enviroment with pro
gressive facilities.

Appointment System Will Be Used For
Driver's Examinations In Noble County
In order to make the system
effective, applicants will have to
make appointments in advance,
Lt. McConnell said. He point
ed out that appointments may
be made up to 30 days in ad
vance.
Those desiring appointments
must have a valid Temorafy In
struction Permit and be able to
furnish an automobile in safe
driving condition. Appointment
may be made by contacting the
examiner in person at the Driver
License Examining Station lo
cated at the Court House, Cald
well, Ohio, and examinations
are given every Monday from
9:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m.
Those who make appointments,
then find they will be unable to
keep them are advised to notify
the examiner immediately. Lt.
McConnell pointed out that per
sons who fail to keep appoint
ments without notification will
go to the end of the appoint
ment list, which may mean a de
lay of several days.
The actual time spent in tak
ing a test for a Driver's License
is less than a half-hour, pro
viding the individual is prepar
ed to take the test.
"The experiment being used in
other locations has helped us
smooth out the operation and has
proved, that with the coopera
ion of the public, nearly all the
delay can be eliminated. Also
the system will mean assign
ing a minimum number of uni
formed patrolmen to duty at Ex
amination Stations thereby keep
ing more officers on the high
way."
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles
will notify all Deputy Regi
strars of the new procedure and
they will be instructed to ex
plain it when issuing Tempo
rary Permits. The Patrol plans
to adopt the appointment sys
tem throughout the state in the
near future, Captain Mock said.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Mallett
and family, of Marietta, spent

Thursday. February A 1956
Effective February 16, 1956, Caldwell will adopt the "Appoint
ment System' for Driver's License Examinations, it was announced
today by Lieut. G. D. MoConnell, Commanding Officer of Patrol
District 7 at Cambridge.
Captain M. A. Mock, head of the Driver Examination Section
of the State Highway Patrol, said the system which is now being
used in all of the larger exam
ining stations "has proved suc
cessful in bringing the waiting
time for applicants to a mini
mum. If the applicants cooper
ate, it practically eliminates all
waiting at the Examination
Stations."
