Workmen are shown hoisting a 20-foot
section of pre-cast concrete into position with
a lifting crane as work on the grandstand at
the Noble county fairground continues with
full speed ahead. On Monday the project had
progressed to a point where 11 of the 18 rows,

Commissioners Return Benches To
Corridor For 'Viewing Pleasure'
It could be of a short duration!
And it all depends on,what consideration the recipients of the
favor give to tb« matter agr«°d upon by #he three members of
the county commissioners.
The benches will be returned to the corridor of the first floor
courthouse for the "pleasure" of
those persons who want to %ee
what's going on".
However, the hitch in the order
is this the courthouse cus
todian can order the benches
returned to the restrooms if the
"viewing privilege" is abused,
such as spitting or causing
unsightly messes on the floor,
creating loud, boisterous talk, or
causing concern to persons who
have official business to transact
in the courthouse.
The decision in this particular
matter lies solely in the dis
cretion of Courthouse Custodian
Jerry Hupp.
Obviously the commissioners
want to be fair in providing cer
tain conveniences to persons con
ducting official business in the
county temple of justice, but to
be sure, no tomfoolery will be
tolerated.
Rest assured, the first cause
for disturbance will mean the
return of the benches back to
their respective restrooms, and
rightfully so.
Unemployment
Claims Increase
Initial claims tiled for unem
ployment compensation in Noble
county took a decided jump over
the previous week according to
the Caldwell office of the Ohio
State Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation. Sixteen new
claims were filed compared to
seven for the week of October 3
Continued claims showed
slight increase this week when 68
claims were filed. The previous
week 61 reported for aid.
Combined claims for the week
totalled 84 an increase of 16 over
the preceding week of October 3.
TRAFFIC VIOLATION
Donald B. Whetstone, of Dex

His main ambition was to

of danger that lurks within

After three years of trial and

Officer Becomes
Infuriated Wi
Defiant Drivers
Rain ur shine, traffic laws in
Caldwell will be enforced.
Village Policeman Jack Oliver
set forth this decree in rathe
a forceful manner last Thursday
when a number of motorists
practically blocked the North
street approach to the grade
school building.
Parents arriving at the school
entrance intending to pick up
their children during the rain
last Thursday, infuriated the
village officer by their lack of
consideration for the safety of
other school children who were
compelled to cross USR 21.
A stern warning was issued by
Officer Oliver to a number of
waiting motorists. It is reported
that traffic become so congested
at one time that it required an
order from the officer to some
drivers for them to move their
cars so that an open lane could
be maintained for school children
who were on foot
Officer Oliver said, "There
won't be a second warning for
some of the more defiant driv
ers. The first should serve as an
adequate warning for them to
know what to expect the next
time they attempt to block traffic
and jeopardize the safety of
number of school children."
Bike Riders Warned
To Travel With Care
Mayor Chester Howiler and 1:i
sheriff's department called on
bicycle riders Saturday to use
more care riding around the
streets especially after dark. They
suggested ail cycles be equipped
with lights or some other safety
device such as red reflectors.
Numerous complaints are being
received regarding reckless rid
ing by children. Officials fear
a rash of accidents will result
unless the practice is halted
They said bicycle riders should
observe traffic lights and stop
signs as one means of avoiding
possible accidents.
MARSHAL RESIGNS
Larry Macenko resigned from
his position as marshal of Belle

Caldwell Sewage
Plant Permit To
Expire On Dec. 15
The village of Caldwell will
again be faced with the possible
construction of a $546,000 sewage
disposal plant Dec. 15, 1959,
when its present permit ex
pires, according to Mayor Chester
Howiler.
The state of Ohio issued the
permit to Caldwell with the
understanding that the village
make an effort to correct its
sewage problems by the eventual
construction of the plant which
would cost approximately $546,
000, according to Floyd G.
Brownie and associates, consult
ing engineers from Marion.
The council did approve the
survey and these necessary steps
were accomplished, although
they have never been followed
through.
In lieu of same and until the
village took definite action, the
state of Ohio issued the tempor
ary permit which expires Dec.
15.
Mayor Howiler is hopeful that
the state will renew the permit
and thus postpone again in
definitely the construction of this
sewage plant.
However, there is no assurance
that they will, with the entire
cost of the project to be met by
the issuance of revenue bonds
and a levy against the real
estate in Caldwell proper.
