WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE 0UIJA BOARD?

! This article was handed in to the
| Producers News by Claude Smith as
an answer to the scurrilous and dirty
attack on County Auditor O'Grady
under the title Of, "What the Ouija
Eoard Sails" which appeared in the
Pioneer Press two OF three weeks ago.
The Pioneer Press article was in
'srired by a deep hatred for Mrs.
O'Grady entertained by the editor OF
that paper because Mrs. O'Grady in
sists that the claims Of Mr.. Dolin
against the county for printing must
conform to his contr;!c: with the couH-
~, and refused t. allow him llcney
ON pcgJ,urcd claims.
