Replogle home from Venezuela Chore-Time employee John Replogle, r 1 Milford, who was detained in Venezuela September 19 by the Venezuelan government, was permitted to leave the country the next day. Replogle’s temporary detention was due to a mix-up between a visa work permit and a tourist card. Replogle's travel agency had mistakenly issued him a work permit instead of a tourist card. On a work permit, a visitor must pay taxes to the Venezuelan government, but payment is not required on a tourist card. When he prepared to leave the country on September 19, the Venezuelan government told him he owed the government $484 in taxes. When Replogle refused to pay, he was prevented from leaving until the mix-up was resolved. He went to the proper authorities to resolve the problem but still had to pay $l6O to be permitted to leave. The Chore-Time employee had gone to the South American country to' conduct service meetings to show Venezuelan firms, that had bought ChoreTime equipment, how to use and care for the equipment they had purchased. 2 Milford boys injured in accident Two Milford youths were injured in a one-car accident on CR ICON, near Milford, Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 25, The driver, Tony Timmons, 16. was treated at Goshen Hospital for a deep cut to the right ear, a bump on the back of the head and bruises.
