ments if topography and pop

In April of this year, the
committee for consolidation in
Noble county, presented to the
state board, resolutions from
local school districts in Noble
county and a petition signed
by a number of resident elec
tors of the Caldwell exempted
village school district, request
ing the board to use its auth
ority to recommend a new
school district comprising the
territory in the districts men
tioned. This action has now
been taken.
Supt. Holt has said that a
study of the improved roads in
this area indicates that the
logical center for a union high
school would be just north of
the village of Caldwell.
The action taken by the state
board, in submitting to the
Noble county board of elections
a certification of the resolution
requesting the proposal be sub
mitted for vote, will now give
local voters in the involved
districts the opportunity to
decide the consolidation ques
tion.
ONG Ambulance

will be the advance detail, fol
lowed on the 25th by the unit
vehicles and on the 26th by the
remainder of the guardsmen who
will go by bus.
Capt. Charles J. Coyle is in
overall charge of the unit during
this encampment, which gives
local units the opportunity to put
into practice the things they
learn during their weekly meet
ings in home armorys.
The guard is, this year, at its
peak strength, having more men
than ever before in its 170-year
history.

Liquor Fees Sent
Here From State
Municipalities and townships
in Noble county received $4,
757.40 in liquor license fees from
the state during the fiscal year
which ended June 30, State Audi
tor James A. Rhodes reports.
Belle Valley was the only
municipality in Noble county and
it received $2,600.00. Townships
receiving monies were Enoch,
$1,457.40, and Stock, $700.00.
The state collects the license
fees from the permit holders,
but returns the full amount to
the political sub-divisions from
which they came. The money is
distributed four times a year by
the state auditor and goes into
the general fund of a city, vil
lage or township for general
operating expenses.
The total of such fees distri
buted in Ohio between July 1,
1957 and June 30, 1958 was
$8,271,220.75. This was $92,828.66

Issue Goes On November Ballot
An extensive manhunt, headed by the Noble county sheriff's
department, got underway Wednesday at 6:30 a. m., as the search
was begun for two Florida state penitentiary escapees hiding in
this area.
The search was centered around Batesville country area, SR
147 and Beaver township, with
sheriff's departments from
Guernsey, Belmont, Noble, and
Washington counties, in addition
to Marietta policemen and sev
eral cars of highway patrolmen,
participating in one of the larg
est manhunts ever to be held in
the county.
At approximately 1:00 pi m.,
Wednesday afternoon. Noble
county sheriff, Donald Con
away, apprehended one of the
escapees at the site of the
search. Captured was Robert
Kubabt, who will be held at
the county jail, pending- fur
ther developments.
The fugitives escaped from the
Florida prison on July 1, stole a
car in Dayton, and wiere re-
Two Armed Convicts Sought By
Lawmen In County Manhunt
ported seen in Bethesda Tues
day evening. Serving terms for
armed robbery, the duo is armed
with two sawed-off shotguns and
a .22 and is considered danger
ous.
Noble county officials were put
on the search this morning after
the convicted men were seen in
a blue Ford, and recognized by
an unidentified woman follow
ing an early morning news re
port. Investigations uncovered a
gun, a pair of shoes, in addition
to other evidence, indicating
that they spent the night in a
deserted house near where the
hunt is being conducted. Due
to finding the shoes, it is be
lieved that one of the fugitives
is barefoot.
The search has been made
increasingly difficult because
this northeastern section of
Noble county is heavily wooded,
making it easier for the escapees
to hide.
Latest reports indicated that
the county sheriff's department
was trying to get bloodhounds
from the state penitentiary in
Moundsville, W. Va., but were
unsuccessful because the dogs
were being used and could not
be spared until their search was
completed. The use of hounds
would simplify the search to a
great extent, due to the nature
of the terrain in that area.
The convicts, named Her
man Morony and Robert Kubabt,
were involved some three years
ago in a robbery in Cambridge,
and it was for armed robbery
that they were convicted in
Florida. It was also believed
that they might be involved in
a robbery reported yesterday in
the area in which they were re
ported being seen.
The search will continue in
definitely.
Start Processing
On Jobless Benefits
For Noble Countians
Approximately 100 Noble
countians will be affected by
the 13-week extension of job
less pay benefits which went
into effect Sunday. July 13, 1958.
The law, recently approved by
the 102nd Ohio Legislature in
oecial session and signed into
temporary law by Governor C.
William O'Neill, is taylored to
give unemployed workers an
extra boost after their original
benefits run out. Processing of
the local group eligible started
Tuesday of this week at their
headquarters in the K. of
building.
Payments will be made for
weeks of partial or total unem
ployment commencing with July
13, 1958. No payments will be
made for any weeks of unem
ployment before that date even
though persons had exhausted
their benefits prior to that date.
This temporary law will affect
persons who have exhausted
their 26 weeks of normal bene
fits since June 30, 1957, or will
have exhausted them before
next April 4. It will also benefit
ex-service-men who were em
ployed prior to their entry in
the military service and are
unemployed after discharge.
The Ohio Bureau of Unem
ployment Compensation today
said it has no way of knowing
exactly how many persons will
file claims under the new pro
gram, but nearly 74,000 have,
since June 30, 1957, exhausted
the benefits to which they were
previously entitled. This includes
approximately 55,000 during the
the first six months of this year.
