Warns Against Ho Repair Racketeers

With the spring home repair and improvement season once more at hand, Adams county home owners were warned today by “Mel Liechty, president of the Adams-Jay-Wells county board of realtors, to beware of racketeers operating in this field. ‘The eagerness of many home owners to repair winter damage to their residences or tn take advantage of the favorable spring weather in making additions or improvements is commendable.” Liechty explained. “As realtors know, home maintenance is an essential factor in conserving property’ and neighborhood values and standards. And as long as our home owners contract with our many established, reputable repair and maintenance firms for services and products, results will be good. ‘'Unfortunately, however, spring always brings a return of fly-by-night operators who annually ‘take’ the public for millions. It is against this latter group that home owners should be on guard.” Liechty said that in issuing his warning he was following a suggestion made to all relators by their national organization, the national association of real estate boards. - He pointed out that

, NAREB and its members have . consistently sought to protect the ‘ interest of property owners in all fields. ’ According to the Adams county J realtor president, home improvement rackets flourish in a wide range of services and products—- • landscape shrubbery, house sidings. patio' construction, and “bargain” water proofing jobs on lamp basements.'to nan»e just a few. While there is no hard.and fast rule that may be used by home owners in distinguishing between the claims made by the racketeers and reputable firms, Liechty cited six simple steps that have been devloped by the federal trade commission from its experience in investigating home improvement frauds. These are: 1. Before signing up for any offered service or product, get comparable cost estimates from at . least one competing firm. Reputable merchants are quite willing to have this done. “Hit-and-run" organizations will immediately think of scores of reasons why the home owner should sign up with them immediately, ‘k 2. Obtain names and addresses '• of previous customers from the soliciting firm and contact these customers. Note in particular how long they say the work or product has been satisfactory. 3. Make sure that the firm has a place of business. Many fly-by-night groups operate out of very temporary headquarters such as a hotel room. 4. If the product or service is said to be guaranteed, find out exactly what Is guaranteed, any conditions that are attached to the guarantee, and who will make good on it if necessary and where he can be located. 5. Be doubly suspicious and ask many more quesitons if the price of the service or product is a great deal lower than the going price in Adams county for similar services or products. There are, of course, real bargains. But many so represented are no more than bait. Liechty urged home owners who find that they have been cheated despite taking these precautions to report their experiences to the proper authorities as a public service. In Decatur, the Chamber of Commerce is the best place to make such a report, he indicated. Veteran Employes Honored By Fairway A total of 17 employees, with more than five years service each, and a total of 141 years of ser- ; vice, were honored by the Fair- ■ way Restaurant Sunday with a • dinner at Milano’s, at Celina, O. j The Fairway, which will be 12 , years old in November, will also j hold an annual appreciation ban- . quet for its employes with five years service, or more. Special recognition went to Do- • lores Roudenbusb, Eileen Reinking, ( and Fern Rowden, with 11 year service each; and to Florence Engle, Jacob Heimann, Bonnie Poling, and Ella Schroeder, with ten years each. Other honored were: nine years.

■. w* Wi l"iwwH REMEMBER WHEN? Sam Beitler, left, had this Robinson steam engine working in Adams county? George Ringger, of route 4, Bluffton, id French township, found this picture, and has shown it to a number of people. He believes that it was taken in the 1890’s. Elmer Baumgartner identified the man by the engine as Bettier. Anyone having any more information should write to Ringger, who is quite interested in getting the full story on the old threshing operation. Interest is growing in steam threshers, and each year large groups get together in the fall to operate their machines. One was in the parade at the annual 4-H fair last year.

Musial Homers In Ninth For Cardinal Win By NORMAN MILLER UH Sports Writer When Stan (The Man) Musial finally decides to call it quits. National League pitchers should be happy to chip in and throw him a lavish “Auld Lang Syne” party. Come to think of it, Musial would like to make that a Cardinals World Series blowout in St. Louis next October. The man, starting his 21st major league season at the age of 41, says this probably is his last. Manager Johnny Keane of the Cards says. “Don’t you believe it” And in the meantime, the harassed hurlers around the league will have to endure his booming bat. Musial hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning Sunday to give the Cards a 3-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in the second game of a doubleheader. The Reds won the opening game, 5-4, but only after Musial had driven in a run du ring a three-run rally that momentarily tied the score. Seta Record Not only that, but he also broke Honus Wagner’s National League, “endurance” record by playing in the 2,786th and 2.787th games of his career. His present batting average is a lusty .375 and he leads the Cards in runs batted in with 18. Cincinnati won the opener by scoring twice in the eighth of f Don Ferrarese. Frank Robinson’s Arable, an intentional walk to Wally Post. John Edwards’ single and a wild pitch by Ferrarese produced the runs. The Cards scored once in their half of the eighth but with the bases loaded and one out, Dave Sisler retired the next two hitters and gained the win. Bob Gibson pitched a five-hitter for the Cards in the nightcap. Willie Mays, who is 10 years younger than Musial and just as much of a menace to pitchers, celebrated his 31st birthday with a two-run homer, double and single that led the league-leading San Francisco Giants to a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. In other NL games, the New York Mets edged the Philadelphia Phils, 7-5, in 12 Innings and Roman Mejias hit three homers as the Houston Colts split a doubleheader with the Milwaukee Braves. Houston won the nightcap, 9-1, after losing the opener, 3-2. The Los Angeles at Pittsburgh game was rained out and the second game of the Mets-Philg twin bill was postponed because of the Pennsylvania curfew law. Mantle Hite Three Mickey Mantle was the American League’s big blaster as he hit three homers while the New York Yankees divided a doubleheader with the Washington Senators. losing the opener. 4-2, then winning the nightcap, 8-0. The Los Angeles Angels, who won Saturday night on Bo Belinsky’s no-hit, no-run pitching, beat the Baltimore Orioles again, 15-T;-the Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers, 10-7; the Cleveland

Indians topped the Kansas City Athletics, 5-1, and the Chicago White Sox gained a split of a twin bill with the Boston Red Sox, winning the second game, 5-3, after losing the opener, 3-2. Lefty Billy O’Dell of the Giants held the Cubs to seven hits for his fourth victory without a defeat. Harvey Kuenn also hit a homer as the Giants made it 11 wins in their last 12 games. Gil Hodges* two-run bases-load-ed single in the 12th inning against the Phils earned the Mets their fourth victory of the season. Craig Anderson, fourth Mets pitcher, received credit for the victory in the rain-interrupted game and Jack Baldschun was the loser, although Hodges’ hit was made off Art Mahaffey. Hurls Four-Hitter BMk Farrell pitched a fourhitter and Mejias drove in five runs with two of his homers in the nightcap. Del Crandall’s homer provided Warren Spahn with his winning margin in the nightcap. It was Spahn’s 312th win. In the AL, Mantle’s two homers helped rookie Jim Bouton win his first major league start with a seven-hitter. Roger Maris also hit a New York homer. Washington rookie Dave Stenhouse, also mak-, ing his first major league start, was credited with the openinggame victory. Gene Woodling’s pinch homer tied the score and an error by rookie first baseman Joe Pepitone of the Yankees helped the Senators score the winning run. Lee Thomas collected five hits and drove in five runs for the Angles against Baltimore. Los Angeles made 19 hits and pinned the defeat on Billy Hoeft. Jack Spring scored his season's first win in relief. Brooks Robinson hit a grand-slam homer for Baltimore. Bernie Allen's three-run homer off Hank Aguirre in the ninth inning enabled Minnesota to sweep a three-game series with Detroit. Ray Moore was the winner in relief. Zoilo Versalles also homered for the Twins and Bill Bruton connected for Detroit.

SCHOOL (Continued from Page One) of the membership. Many Favor However, many people who live in the north three townships, thinking of their children father' than their personal emotions, favor the new proposal. They believe that iheir children will get, in the new district, a better chance and opportunity, to learn a trade or profession, or to prepare for college. The group failed in a series of legal maneuvers to stop the election. Won’t Stop Reorganization Now, they believe that by voting down the proposal they will stop school reorganization. This is not true. It could easily mean that a plan less advantageous to them, less fair, could be imposed. School board members might be elected rather than appointed, which would give Decatur residents, far in the majority of voters, the edge. Many level-headed people are helping inform their neighbors to see that they will vote in this important issue Tuesday. The question involves the future of every child in the north part of Adams county. BUSINESS (Contmuea from Page One) these meetings were extra meetings held in members’ homes.
