HARDIN COUNTY

Caught

Sheriff Randall r. Clark late Tues
day afternoon again was in charge
of two young men, following their
escape from the Hardin county Jail
and ensuing arrest by deputies from
his office. The two Hardin county
youths, Eugene Graves, 10, and Err
nest Faurot, 20, held in the county
Jail for the theft of an automobile
on Feb. 81, Monday night removed

Graves was captured at about IL

by Kenton Patrolman Forrest Fitz-
patrick and Sheriff Clark. A search
for Faurot at Marysville later that

was instituted before he was located

Boy Plus Dog Equals
Trouble

This is a story of a boy and his
dog-a 20-month old boy who was
fortunate in having a dog who is a
real playmate, but who unfortunately
helped the youngster get into mis-
chief not long ago.
Richard Wolfe, small son of Mr..
and Mrs. Howard Wolfe, four miles
east on the Blanchard road from
F'inllay, often plays ball with his pet,
who has been taught to retrieve.
Though only 20 months old, Richard
can throw a bali far enough that
the dog has great fun chasing it
and bringing it back. One day they
were playing in the kitchen while
the mother was busy with household
duties in the other part of the house.
Hearing Richard laugh and the
dog prance back and forth on the

School Bus Mileage
Lower

Based on a total annual normal
of 453,471 miles of school bus travel
in the Allen county schools, some
81 1888 miles have been eliminated in
cooperation with the Office of De-
fense Transportation, it was revealed
Saturday by County Supt. Willard
M. Floyd. The figures which show
that school buses in this county now
are travelling only 421,488 miles per
year, were compiled from reports
made by executive heads of each of
the districts in the county, he stated.
"Many of the miles saved were
eliminated when bus restrictions on
extra curricular activities became eff
fective early in this school year
Buses now are used only for the ac-
tual transportation of teachers, pu-
pills and school employees to and from
regular classroom sessions" Supt
Floyd pointed out.

Victory Training
School Starts

Formation of a Victory Corps in
the schools of Putnam county will be
effective starting Monday as step
toward training prospective military
youths in the fundamentals of the
armed forces.
County Supt. Carl d. Vermilya
announced that plans for the corps
and stressed the explanation that
youths taking this training will in
no way encourage premature con-
sideration of their induction by the
county selective service board. Only
when their draft numbers are
reached will boys taking this train
ing be called in the regular draft
procedure.
This military training will be
strictly voluntary on the part of the
youths. 1t will be conducted during
the remaining months of the present
school term and thruout the 1943-44
term.

hours after it had been stolen.
A short time later Harold Wank,
of Leipsic, reported his car stolen
from a street in Leipsic. Shortly

Berlin Radio Names
Missing Soldier

A Lima family was cheered by a
roundabout report that their son,
missing in North Africa since Feb.
II, is prisoner of war in Germany.
The purported prisoner is Corp. Ray
mond Joseph McNeff, 80, SON of Mr..
and Mrs. Ray McNeff of Lima.
L. Goldman, a Lima merchant,
visiting in New York, had a hotel
radio turned to short wave when he
was startled to hear his home town
mentioned in broadcast supposedly
coming from Berlin. 1t was adj
dressed to Mr. McNeff in Lima.
Goldman seized a pencil and copied
the message signed by Corporal
McNeff informing his father he is a
prisoner and that there is no need
to worry. Goldman telegraphed the
information to the father in Lima.
