The claim that Ray took up about two years ago he was unable to get hold of, some other person haring squatted on it during his absence. Ray worked at the barber trade most of the time that he was gone, and expects to go back there again later on.

Parkinson was in Delphi yesterday in the interest of his automobile gear, which the Delphi Machine Co. is preparing to manufacture extensively.
