Gordon Lord, attorney for CTB, Inc., asked the board, since no remonstrators were present, if it would ratify and confirm the tax abatement. The town board approved the abatement with Darrell Orn, a Chore-Time employee, abstaining. The town board. adjourned briefly for an EDC meeting in which George Buckingham, attorney for CTB, Inc., requested a second supplemental application for a revenue bond. Buckingham remarked the application is the same as the first request with the exception being the bond money

would be used to renovate existing buildings with the possibility of constructing new buildings to be used by CTB, Inc., Brock Manufacturing. Inc., and ChoreTime Equipment, Inc. The request also included the company’s desire to have additional town water supplied. Jack Frieden, vice president ot finance for CTB, Inc., stated that in addition to the city’s bond, the company has received assistance from the state. Frieden noted this assistance comes in three forms: a grant to the city for lending to CTB, assistance with water tapping and the re-embursement of training cost for employees. Prior to EDC and town board approval, Buckingham stated there was no change in the dollar amount or employees from the previous request, just an expanding use of the bond. In the vote from the EDC, Dennis Sharp and Violet Miller voted in favor with Bob Auer abstaining. Auer is an employee of Brock Manufacturing. Town board members Steve Miller and Jean Treesh voted in favor with Orn abstaining.

A car stopped on the highway about 1 a.m. and offered her a ride into Warsaw to make the call. During the drive a conversation was started and the driver, who said his name was “Jeff,” asked where she was headed. The woman told the man she lived in Milford and he offered to

Hainge of 202 East Fourth Street, who won SSO for an idea presented to United Telephone Company. As an operator at U nited’s Warsaw toll center, Teresa noticed how difficult and time-consuming it was to verify calling-card numbers. Several keys on the switchboard had to be pushed at the same time and held a few seconds to give the equipment time to validate the number. If several callers were trying to reach an operator simultaneously, some people had to wait for one call to be processed before an operator could answer another signal. Her suggestion was to simplify the validating process by rearranging and reducing the number of keys required, thereby freeing one hand and allowing an operator to do more work. An investigation by United’s engineering department showed the idea was feasible and would save time and money. The equipment was altered at the same time as other necessary changes were done, saving the cost and effort of a special project.

take her home. He turned north on SR 15 and stopped at the Pepsi Company on SR 15, got out of the car and returned a short time later. Shortly after getting back into the auto the subject pulled a knife and ordered the woman to take off her cloths. She removed her blouse, then jumped from the auto while it was traveling 40-50 miles per hour. Detective Sgt. Tom Kitch stated she fell into the gravel and rolled several times, suffering abrasions, lacerations, contusionsand bruses. The driver of the auto turned his auto around and came back at her, threatening her with the knife. She pleaded with the man to leave her alone and offered him the S2OO she had in her pocket. He took the money. About that same time two people in a southbound auto saw the scuffle and stopped to assist. The assailant took off in a southernly direction at a high rate of speed. The woman was taken to Goshen Hospital where she was treated and released. % I MARGARET £1 FREEMAN ■Br Outside r * Sales Rep.

subcontractors. After completion. the building will house three executive Offices downstairs with plans for the upstairs still uncertain. MILFORD’S RALSTON Purina Plant is constructing a new office area complete with lockers and a lounge room. According to manager Larry Moorman, the construction project was needed because “We were very cramped in space here." The completion date, originally set for June 15, has been moved to July 15. “There’s just no room for anybody. We needed expansion all the way around for all employees.” he said. The company plans a two-story office with a truckers waiting room upstairs and the general office area downstairs. The construction project was requested by the local plant, but company officials in Saint Louis had to approve the request.
