Findings Against Ada
Firms

Several Hardin county business es-
tablishments are included in the list
of violators of Ohio statutes recorded
in the state examiners report of the
financial conditions of Hardin county
village and rural schools. The
audit results, as compiled earlier this
year by Examiners Vivian Dowds
and w. H. Mustard, were made pub
lie by County Auditor w. B. Wilson.
The report covered the period from
Oct. 1886 to Feb. 1889.
Findings totalled $6,06S.91 and
were for the main part of the resuli
of purchase of school equipment from
public officials, contrary to the Ohi'
General Code. Largest infractiol
was reported from the Ada exempted
village school where former Mayor
H. J. Sousley was cited for the SALE
of S1,221.58 worth of coal to the
school. The sale was made during
Sousley's incumbency, the report
stated.
The Ada board also was directed
to recover from the firm of Barans
by and Wolfrom, Ada, the sum OF
S719.95, also for coal sales, occurring
while Earl Wolfrom was member

HANCOCK COUNTY
No Protests Over Long
er WPA Hours

In view of protests in many Sec
tions of the country against the new
federal relief bill which iengthens
working hours and thus reduces the
rate of pay, Hancock county WPA
employees continued normal schedules,
while in other portions of the state,
workers tied up projects and were
threatened with loss of livelhoods.
Formerly WPA workers were paid
an hourly wage based on the pre-
vailing rate for union labor for the
type of work. They worked only as
many hours as were required to
bring their monthly earnings to the
security wage level of from SIG to
$84. Highly skilled workers demand
ing high hourly wages, in some cases
put in as low as 4S hours month.
Most of the 600 persons who are
employed by the WPA in the county,
have worked at least 100 hours a
month, although in some skilled labor
brackets, employees have worked as
little as 55 hours a month. Accord
ing to those in a position to know,
five per cent of the workers in this
county are of the skilled labor class
while II per cent are in an interme-
date class. The rest are classified
as unskilled laborers.

Dummy Makes Para
chute Landing

White faced persons who saw a
parachute open over the Findlay air
port Thursday afternoon, then catch
on the wings of plane and after
becoming tangled, fall to the earth
unopened with man on the busi-
ness end, were red-faced when they
discovered the imam was Charley"
dummy rugged up by the airport
personnel to test out the qualities
of a 16-foot parachute.
A 16-foot chute is about half the
size of those used for regular hu-
man parachute jumps and is regul-
arly used for dropping night flares
when a plane is disapled.
"Charley" was tossed out of the
speeding plane by Whitley Stein, ace
jumper noted for his bat-wing per-
formances.

Pleads Guilty To Lot
terry Charge

Owen Firestone pleaded guilty in
Common Pleas Court at Findlay to
charges of operating lottery un-
der the name of the Hancock Bank
Mite Service.

was suspended on condition that he
cease activities.
