Coatesville news

Mr. Charles Herrin is again in Coatesville with his parents after serving army duty three years in G e r m a n y. Charles’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elston Herrin, prior to his return placed flowers all around their front porch and put up a lettered sign "Welcome Home Charles.” Charles was a first class lad in both grades and high school and has been a good soldier. His parents are rightfully proud to see such a boy return to break bread with them again and relate his experiences. The town is glad to see Charles and to welcome him home. This week on August 20th was the birthday of a former President of the United States. An Ohio man by birth, yet who spent

much of his life in Indianapolis and Danville, Indiana. He was a man quite particular in his dress and earned the nickname of "Kidglove Ben.” When electricity came to the White House President Harrison would have no part of putting his fingers on switches so he hired a man named Ike Hoover to take the risk and at the same time be his doorman. The Harrison name still stands in Indianapolis, a reminder of a staunch Republican President and one whose big problem in that day was tariff. The Russians again have proved themselves the arch enemy of mankind. United States leaders who call themselves statesmen are now taking a second and maybe a third look at what

ORGANIZED, THOSE YIPPIES A Chicago policeman stands by with a flashlight as a Yippie with "Medic'' on his blouse kneels to aid a fallen comrade. Thousands of Yippies, hippies and plain anti-war demonstrators wound up in tears from overdoses of police tear gas.

She opened an account.

There’s nothing like money in the bank to build a Feeling of well-being. Lots of people fear that they aren't getting ahead fast enough. Or that their dreams and hopes will never come true. How quickly al! that changes when the savings balance starts to grow. We invite you to open a Savings Account. One thing we’re sure of. You’ll start each new day with new interest!

has happened in Czechoslovakia. They have tried to make themselves believed that the days of Stalin were over but how badly they have been mistaken. A book on our public library shelf is entitled “You Can Trust A Communist” and you can do just that, to lie to you and take advantage of you at every turn. The whole world should condemn Russia and send their representatives home. We have heard some complaints this week about chiggers. Do you recall the little pests that used to get on you in the blackberry patch and the hay field? Here are two little pieces of literature that will reserve your memory of this little digger. (1) “A Chigger is no Bigger than the Point of a Pin, But the lump that he raises, itches like blazes, and That’s where the rub comes in. (2) If chiggers were bigger, or big as a cow, and worked with the vim of a sub soil plow, O’ jolly picnicer, where would you be now! Many Coatesville folks knew Mrs. Dove Bryan and were surprised to learn of her sudden passing. Her death brings to mind her well known husband, Alex Bryan, who died nine years ago. Many recall him as a one time county officer, and a man active in Republican politics and one who acted as clerk for sales over much of Putnam County. Mrs. Bryan leaves seven children. She passed to rest in her 86th year. It is rather a marvelour thing to see a Night-booming Cereus in full bloom and see the loviness of the blossom and catch its perfume. Friday night at ten o’clock Mrs. Mable Davidson had a plant that had three great blooms, all out at the same hour. One of the blooms clipped off and inserted onto a basin of water was still in full bloom far into the following day. The deached blossom in water must )e put in the refrigerator and here the cold air keeps it in all its’ glory for hours. On August 27th the Cascade High School football team put on an exhibition for interested fans who don’t understand the game of football and for those who wanted to know the size and possibilities of the 1968 team. Mrs. (Grandma) Snodgrass of Cartersburg was a visitor this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Poff. Mrs. Ha Smith of La Porte is a visitor this week at the

home of Mrs. Gallic Cassady and her sister, Miss Stella Shields. Ever so often Mrs Da comes to Coatesville, for she has many friends here of long standing and they are always made happy to see her. People often ask, “Now what types of people do you meet on bus trips from Indianapolis and Cincinnati to various parts of the United States and Canada or Mexico.” The question can be easily and truthfully answered in this way. In all sight seeing trips made thus far the people going places have as a rule been elderly and extremely* friendly. On this Canadian trip one man and wife hailed from Franklin, Kentucky where he operated a mortuary and she taught grade school. A mother and daughter from Picqua, Ohio, were passengers, the mother a teacher in the city schools, the daughter employed by a local company. Two ladies, likely in their early 60’s were clerks in a big book store for many years. An aged French'business executive of Cincinnati and wife were home owners in the Queen City. They had traveled over all of Europe and the United States. They did much of their Holiday shopping in New York. They were the lady and gentleman to everyone. A business woman, treated to a vacation by her company took along a sister who was a nun belonging to the Sisters of Charity. What a lovely character she was. Among the very friendly and kindly folks aboard was a An old bachelor of Detroit was a friend to everyone and a maiden lady who worked for the state of Ohio told us at times of her six month work in Korea, during the war and of her stay in China and Japan and her many trips to Europe and Mexico. She never boasted, for traveling the world over, was just a common place thing for her. One sat in the bus with these fine people and ate, with them, discussed the topics new to the papers and TV and all respected one anothers views. One often puts this question: “Would I fit into such a group?” If you fit into a good and substantial group of Christian people at home you would fit here. Mr. C.D. Knight our aged former banker, suffered a painful accident Wednesday. A car door was slammed shut on his index finger and the digit was almost severed at the first joint.

Questionable purchases reach SI million mark

INDIANAPOLIS ( U P I ) - State examiners released another report Friday on a poor relief investigation in Lake County and said the dollar value of "questionable purchase orders” involved shot up past the $1 million mark. The Indiana State Board of Accounts, which previously cer. tified to a Lake County grand jury a total of $558,002 in "questionable” orders for food in Calumet Twp., delved into other poor relief items and came up with an additional $476,915. That raised the total, according to chief examiner Richard Worley, to $1,034,918. Worley said the investigation will continue. Worley declined to speculate on the final total but other sources have said it might reach $2 million. The latest 10 reports included fuel and clothing purchases for poor relief recipients between

1963 and 1966, during a period when Milton Baromich was township trustee. Earlier reports covered a period when Harold DeVault was trustee and went back as far as 1961. Baromich, DeVault and several others were indicted by a Lake County grand jury. Baro. mich was interviewed by field examiners in connection with each of the additional reports. The examiners stated the trustee told them he had questioned employes about the reports and "met with a denial of guilt in every instance and he had no information to offer at this time.” The examiners defined "questionable purchase orders” as those falling into one or more of five categories: The name of the recipient was not the same as the name on the poor relief register, case histories required before relief can be granted were not in the files, no proper authorization of purchase or.

ders, signatures of persons who acknowledged receipt of items were not the true signatures of the named recipients, and persons who were listed as recipients said they did not receive the items. Examiners obtained an aifidavit from one man listed on records as receiving fuel oil that he lived in an apartment in which his heat was furnished and source of the heat was a gas furnace. Examiners conferred, or tried to confer, with all of the persons listed as owners or managers of the stores, and in general were told that full dollar Japan's First MATSUKAWA.

value in food, fuel or clothing had been issued for all poor relief purchase orders claimed. Frank Rache, owner o f Frank’s Superette from 1960 to 1963, said he had noticed "some of the recipients of poor relief orders drove to the store in taxis or Cadillacs.”
