In This Area Parents Who Allow Their Children to Drive: It may be of interest to note that the father of an unlicensed driver involved in a multiple fatality traffic collision near Markle Sept 17 has been arrested for permitting his son to drive. Milo Reff, of Uniondale, was the name of the man arrested in Wells county—he permitted his 15-year-old son, Gary, to drive without a license. Gary is still in critical condition as is a 71-year-old survivor of the accident that took the lives of Dr. Curtis E. Haflich, 70; his wife, Zoa, 71; his sister, Mrs. Cressie Caley, 68, and Teddy Gene Cox, 16, a passenger in the Rest vehicle. In Mercer county, 0., an inspection of 74 schooT 1 buses in the county found 54 of them unacceptable. Five were unserviceable, and 47 needed repairs, while 22 passed muster. AU buses tested here recently were acceptable. Portland one-third of the petitions for a bond issue to build a new swimming, p jol, the location of which raised havoc in that city all summer, and was finally decided by baUot, have been received. Contracts should be let by December. At Bluffton the city council has asked the school board to limit high school driving to classes to those who can show good reason for doing so. Several students have been engaged in accidents during the noon hour over there. Judge Burl V. Whiteman of Jay circuit court is expected to set a date within a few days for the county convention for school reorganization required by a 1959 state statute. The judge says he has until to name the nine man committee for that county to reorganize the schools. Here in Adams county a number of local meetings have already been held, and the county convention for Adams county has been set for Oct. 14. Judge Parrish is purposely waiting as late as possible so that the local committee can have the state recommendations in hand when they organize. The committee must report one year from organization, but of course they could not work without the state minimum recommendations. The license of Ben and Bill’s Tavern in Vera Cruz was denied recently in Wells county when some 400 residents petitioned against it. The owner, Bernard H. ESting said he would appeal. A total of 15 residents appeared in person. They alleged that the tavern was . insanitary, sold alcoholic beverages after hours and on Sunday, and had a general unhealthy effect on the morals of the community. The license was first granted to the tavern, the only one in Vera Cruz, on Sept. 11,1951, and has been renewed annually since then.

Blow For Aged Is Struck By Court INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Appellate Court struck a blow for the aged today in a case involving former Ligonier Police Chief Elmer Bole. Bole served as police chief Jan. 1, 1952 to Jan. 1, 1956, at which time he was demoted to patrolman by incoming Mayor Roy J. Jorg. Weeks later the Board of Public Works and Safety, with Jorg as president, adopted a resolution setting the maximum age for the police force at 70. Bole, then 71, was ordered dismissed. In a futile hearing before the board. Bole showed he was in good health, had worked full time without a vacation, had never been sick and had put in a great amount of overtime. When the board insisted on his dismissal Bole appealed to Noble Circuit Court which upheld the board. Bole then appealed to the

Appellate Court In its unanimous opinion, reversing the lower court’s decision, the Appellate Court pointed out that there is presently a U.S. senator bver 90 years of age. “Many lawyers and jurists die with their boots on in their 80s,” the court said. “Professional men and women are known to be at their best upon reaching the age of 70.” The court said common law never said that a person attaining 70 “suddenly lost a status in being, a man, and as a mater of law became a disabled shell of his former self so that he was deemed incapable of performing the functions he had been per forming 69 years and 364 days prior there to.” The court further said there was “nothing in the record to show that the ravages of time had made this appellant incapable of performing his duies.” The court said the action of the board and the lower court was “wholly arbitrary, capricious and contrary to law.”
