The Caldwell high school Band Mothers'
i-lub is instituting a financial drive to collect
$4,000 for the purchase of new uniforms for
members of the Caldwell Marching band.
Heading this drive, which would seem
to be almost impossible at its beginning, is
Mrs. Henry Brumbach as chairman. She will
be assisted by Mrs. Donald McDiffitt and
Mrs. James Hill.
But the drive should serve a two-fold
purpose. It will help to revitalize the local
Band Mothers' club, as well as the Caldwell
high school band.
The club
raise
For many years, the Caldwell high
school marching band, under the supervision,
nf Marvin P. Wood, was an outstanding
musical organization in southeastern Ohio
and thruout the state for that matter.
In the past few years, however, the acti
vities of this band have been confined almost
entirely to their appearance at the Caldwell
football games and no outside engagements
have been accepted.
Just why the band has fallen into this
"non-active" participation is not clear but
it is evident that the famed marching band
has been taking a back seat for several years
.10 Years A Priest
The Very Rev. Fr. Balthaser J. Mattes,
who had served the holy priesthood for 56
years, died Friday at Mt. Carmel hospital in
Columbus, following a general decline in
health.
For 26 years, Fr. Mattes had served as
the popular priest of St. Mary's parish in the
Fulda community and he had become a
familiar figure to many in that community
and Caldwell.
Father Mattes was born in Bavaria,
Germany, July 12, 1871 but came to this
country in 1880. He attended the Pontifical
College of the Josephium at Columbus and
was ordained by the Apostolic Delegate, the
Most Reverend Sebastian Marinellie, D. D.,
on June 29, 1899.
Before being assigned to the Fulda
parish, he served at Crnoksville and Miltons-
Willard Brown, popular president of the
Cleveland Graphite Bronze company, deliv
ered a fine talk Tuesday evening at the
annual dinner meeting of the Noble County
Chamber of Commerce.
With over 175 interested members in
attendance, Mr. Brown spoke on community
service and the part, the Caldwell plant of
this company, has played in the industrial
development of Noble county.
The Tuesday night meeting is a fitting
climax to the efforts of this civic organiza
tion during the past year and its accomplish
ments are cited as they unfolded during 1955.
The new board of directors was also
named and with this announcement, the
C. of C. is girding themselves for another
campaign to bring more industry into the
county.
This isn't an easy job for you just can't
go out and pick an industry to locate here,
unless you have something to offer them.

ment Committee is again functioning with

The Real School Shortage
Much has been written about
the shortage of school-rooms
and school teachers in all too
many sections of the U. S. A.
Once again the Federal Gov
ernment is flirting with the
idea of sticking its messy
fingers into the various states
ostensibly to take care of this
shortage of class-rooms and
teachers. We know this* prop
osed grab for control of our
public schools as "Federal Aid
to Education." More properly
it should be known as "Fed
eral Control of Education."
It is true that many sections
of the country have not been
able to increase school facili
ties to keep pace with rapid
growth of population and there
does exist nation wise a short-

has hit on a unique plan to
this money and it will go something
like
this.
They plan to compile a list of every
graduate from the Caldwell high school since
the first class many years ago and write
them a personal letter, asking for a donation
of one dollar.
It is expected that each graduate so con
acted will respond to this solicitation and
the bulk of the money needed will be raised.

age of class-rooms and teach

which we should all be con
cerned. But* it is a problem for
each individual state to tackle
on its own. It is not a job for
Federal Government to handle,
for despite claims to the con

must follow any such aid.
However, serious as is the
overcrowding and shortage of

now.
It could be that they have been resting
on their past laurels but we are more
inclined to believe that not as much interest
has been manifested as in the past.
The Band Mothers' club is perhaps
aware of this and they hope to kill two birds
with one stone—getting a little more pep and
zip into the band itself by presenting them
with new uniforms and at the same time,
helping by this campaign to put more life in
the organization of the mothers themselves.
In order for the Caldwell Marching band
to again take their place as an outstanding
musical organization, invitations must be
?r»rrpted when they are extended to neigh
boring festivities and functions.
Usually these organizations are more
than willing to pay the expenses involved
and it does the members good to participate
in these civic functions.
We are quite sure that the graduates
will respond generously when they are con
tacted by the Caldwell Band Mothers' club
but we also believe that the Caldwell band
should give them something in return.
They can do this by becoming active as
they were in the past, not just at football
games and probably the Memorial Day
parade but by accepting as many other
invitations extended to them from neighbor
ing cities.
The Caldwell Band Mothers' club has a
wonderful idea and there is no reason why
the campaign won't work 100 percent.
But we are hoping that this fall, the
1956 edition of the Caldwell Marching band
will merit their support.

It is only through the concerted efforts

Unordered Merchandise
Many residents of southeastern
Ohio, particularly those living on
rural routes, have complained to
me in recent weeks about the
growing volume of unsolicited
mail which they received. The
increase in the practice of send
ing unordered merchandise
through the mails also threatens
to become a national problem.
Occording to preliminary infor
mation gathered by the House
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, this business has
grown to tremendous propor
tions, grossing hundreds of mil
lions of dollars a year for its
shady operators.
The pattern of such practices
usually involves a firm sending
the unordered merchandise to an
individual family. This is fol
lowed with very strong collec
tion letters. To avoid trouble,
unsuspecting recipients of such
mail pay for the unwanted items
only to find themselves placed on
a "preferred list". This results
in their being bombarded with a
volume of like material.
Since most of these packages
take advantage of low third
class mail rates, the Committee
is concerned that the Post Office
Department is, in effect, sub
sifii/in» such operations by un
scrupulous business houses. The
new hearings, intended to ex
plore the possible need for tight
ening postal laws and regula
tions, will be welcomed by per
sons who have been bilked by
these and similar practices.
The inquiry, however, will not
extend to items such as key iden
tification tegs which established
and reputable veterans organiza
tions have been mailing for many
years. The Committee will be
pleased to receive information
which southeastern Ohio nesi
dents wish to present concern
ing any experiences they have
had with such possible abuses of
postal facilities.
Minimum Wage Law
Questions have arisen concern
ing the new Minimum Wage law
which goes into effect on March
1. This law provides for raising
minimum wage rates from $.75
per hour to $1.00. In response to
the inquiries I have received, the
new law does not extend cover
age to groups of employees not
already included. In other words

Dear Edilor:
A few days ago I witnessed one of the most beautiful and ill
spiring scenes of my entire life.
It was a peculiar morning and broken clouds drifted through
the havens. The valleys were filled with heavy fog. The high hills
rose above this mystic sea like great island peaks rising out of the
sea.
The forests were completely covered with as heavy a frost as
I have ever seen. All the branches of the trees were completely
covered with frost at least a half inch in depth.
Every little while the bright sun would peep out from behind
a loud and when the bright sun light fell upon those frost covered
trees, it mad*1 them look like white marble lace. Hundreds of hill
•ops looked like great piles of lacy and intricately woven lace.
Designs by the thousands were everywhenre.
You felt as if you were on a high point looking over into the
very courts of heaven. You stopped in your tracks and were held
spellbound in the majesty of .wonder. I wished all mankind could
have been here to witness this marvelous display of nature's ex
travagence. No artist on earth could have painted such beauty.
It was worth an entire lifetime to witness this all inspiring scene.
It lasted less than half an hour but I shall never forget it.
P. S. When beauty fires the blood, imw love exalts the mind,
—Dryden.
