Crosswalks, Center Lines Are Painted Crosswalks and centerlines in the second St. and Thirteenth St. areas were painted by a state highway department contractor , Saturday. The markings were redone with a plastic substance that is said to be self-washing, as rain or any type of water will wash them clean. The city’s crosswalks and center lines, including yellow lines, were redone. Lines were also done at intersections to show vehicles where to Stop. Find Headless Body Floating In River FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) —Police today tried to trace a social security card in hopes it would identify a headless body found floating in the Maumee River here Sunday. Two fishermen, Bello Lawson, 23, and William Nelson, 31, both of Fort Wayne, came across the badly decomposed body Sunday afternoon. They said it was snagged in brush about 20 feet from shore. i- I Search Continued . For Muncie Family CONNERSVILLE, Ind. (UPD— A three-state search for a Muncie family of five who may have crashed in their single - enging plane during a thunderstorm Friday, continued with reduced air support today. During the weekend, more than 36 planes of the Indiana wing of the Civil Air Patrol joined Ohio and Kentucky units in the search for Dr. George E. McCoy, 45-year-old pediatrician; his wife, Mildred, 40; and- their three sons, George Jr., 17, David, 13, and James, 3. Today there were four planes hunting a wide section of Eastern Indiana and 33 men working on coordination of the search at Connersville’s Mettel Fielx). Col. Bob R. Abel of Indianapolis, director of the Indiana search, said more than 6,000 square miles were covered by the 36-plane network Sunday and ahother 880 square miles were "intensely covered” by low flying craft. He said several new leads were being checked this morning. A woman near a river between Alpine and Nulltown reported seeing an object in some trees, and remains of an aircraft engine were reported found near Markleville. There were also leads reported from residents in New Trenton and Liberty. Abel said none of the leads were definite identifications of the missing craft, a brown and white Piper Comanche. Other search centers at -Cincin- . nati, Columbus, Springfield and Aberdeen, all in Ohio, reported no definite clues in the search, Abel said. Abel expressed hope squirrel hunters, who begin hunting Thursday, will be on the lookout for clues in the dense underbrush not visible from the air in the event ! the plane is still missing. 1 __ I If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
