Sheriffs Office To Courthouse Sept. 8 The Adams county sheriff’s office will be moved back into the courthouse in time for the fall term of court, starting September 8, Sheriff Roger Singleton announced today. The sheriff’s office was moved to the jail temporarily while the stairway was torn out, and the new stairway and elevator put in the courthouse. Since the sheriff has many court papers to serve, it is necessary that the office be located near the judge’s chambers. Sheriff Singleton planned to move earlier, and then when the court went in vacation decided he would wait until the fall term starts before moving back.

Home Service Report The 1963-64 home service yearly report was submitted by chairman W. E. Petrie. Petrie's report was as follows: “This service must be maintained for servicemen and their families, veterans and a limited service to civilians other than disaster.” “There were 88 cases for active service, 23 veterans and 43 civilians, for a total of 158 cases. This figure does not include the 33 not counted as cases — they were wives and children, inquiries for information and transients. Several Red Cross chapters assisted this chapter in securing safe passage of a child from this county to join his father in Japan. A Red Cros.< volunteer and his wife met the boy at a California airport, stayed with the child until a military passage was secured for Japan. “She now resides with her daughter and grandson. After more than 19 years of separation the reunion was wonderful to see. Cases such as this one takes several years of work, many letters, and above all, a lot of patience; but is very rewarding when one is able to witness the reunion of the people involved.” Reports, Citations A report on the “combined service territory” was presented at the meeting by Earl Fuhrman, and Richard Macklin, the treasurer, gave the annual financial report to the group.
