Mrs. O’Hara was the main one behind the banning of the Bible in our schools. She is Court News Heir to Laughlin Estate Blair R.

now up in the air about our Apollo 8 Astronauts because they read from the Bible while in flight. Now wouldn’t it be wonderful if a lot more of our schools would put God before anything eise. If we get enough schools to put the Bible back into their school, we can show Earl Warren that he isn’t the most powerful man in the world. We need the Bible back in our schools. After all. our forefathers placed God’ before our country when they made the Constitution. Sincerely, John A.

Weatherhead Announces New Record Sales And Earnings

CLEVELAND — New records in sales and earnings for 1968 were announced February 14 by The Weatherhead Company, a large manufacturer of fluid power components. The company reported 1968 sales of $95,457,000, up 13.7 per cent from the $83,968,000 achieved in 1967. Net income rose to $4,764,000 in 1968 from $4,209,000 earned in the previous year. This amounted to $1.56 per share compared to $1.39 in 1967. In commenting on the 1968 results, the Weatherhead president George J. Grabner, said the earnings improvement was due largely to increases in sales of automotive original equipment components, including new products introduced during the year. He said that a minor part of the increase was accounted for by a change in depreciation accounting to the straight line method and further noted that without the federal surtax, earnings would have been approximately 13 cents per share greater. This was the fifth consecutive year in which Weatherhead achieved higher levels in both sales and profits, Mr. Grabner said.* The compounded annual growth in sales during that period was nearly 13 per cent and profits tripled. He added: “In view of the general economic growth trend and the growth potential of the several .major markets Weatherhead serves, we believe we will maintain our present momentum.” On Thursday the company declared a regular 1214 cent quart-
