Algae" Responsible
For Odd Water Taste
The unusual laste to the
Caldwell water supply results
from "algae" or seaweed at
the reservoir lake, according
to Art Murphy, superintendent
of the Caldwell water plant.
When the water supply be
gins getting low, without be
ing replenished by heavy
rains, the algae taste is very
evident, Murphy says. 'It is
absolutely pure, however.
Webster says that alga is
any chlorophyll containing
plant, belonging to the phylum
Thallophyta, comprising sea
weeds and various fresh-water
forms and varying in shape
and size.
Now you know why the
water in Caldwell has such an
odd taste.

To Net Church
Tidy Amount
12-Year-0ld Cambridge Lad
Caught With Stolen Auto
A most impressive event took
place this past weekend in the
small village of Mt. Ephraim,
nestled in the hills of Noble
county.
The Methodist church in this
small community, as in the past,
had raised a large patch of cane
as their "Lord's Acre" project.
The cane was cut and stripped
this past weekend in the town
ship hall with many members
of the church and the community
assisting.
The (group worked into the
late hours of night in order that
they might make their deadline
which was Monday morning at
6:00 o'clock. This was "zero
hour" when the cane was to be
at the mill near Dexter City to
be made into the finished pro
duct of molasses. This will be
sold by the church and the
money used toward the indebted
ness for the recent remodeling
of the church.
Both lunch and dinner were
served Sunday in the church
dining room to the many people
who assisted in the stripping and
cutting process. The hall rang
loud with the singing of hymns
and the busy stripping knives.
Rev. Robert Griesinger, of
Senecaville, Is pastor of the
church.
TWO INCHES OF RAIN
Noble county has received
slightly more than two inches
of rain in September, compared
with .89 hundreths of an inch
during August, according to
Richard Burlingame, official
weatherman for the county. The
low for the month occurred on
Tuesday morning of this week
when the mercury dipped to
38 degrees. The rainfall last
Sunday measured .79 inches.
A 12-year-old youth from Cambridge was apprehended by the
marshal of Belle Valley last Thursday morning, driving a car re
ported to have been stolen from a parking lot near the RCA plant,
that city.
The car was owned by Leslie G. Artt, Cambridge route 5, RCA
employee and he reported the loss to police at 8:30 a.m., Thursday.
The youth was apprehended at
10:30 a. m. in Belle Valley by
local authorities.
He did not have a permit to
drive and is on probation from
Bellaire in Belmont county, on
an arson charge.
The juvenile from Cambridge
made the following statement to
the local sheriff's department:
"I left home at 8:00 a. m. this
morning and started to school.
I saw a friend of mine and told
him that my arm was sore and
I would not be to school.
"I found this car down by
Jack's Beer joint across from
the RCA plant. I looked in and
saw the keys. I went out Route
265 to Lore City and Salesville
and came down route 670 to
Seneca Lake and then went
across the Lake road to Buffalo
and Derwent and down route 21
to Belle Valley where I was
stopped by the marshal, after
I had driven around this town
for a while".
The young man also said he
knew of several other boys in
Cambridge who took cars and
authorities didn't do anything
about it, so he thought he would
try it.
He has since been returned
from the Caldwell jail to
juvenile authorities in Cam
bridge.
