HARDIN COUNTY
Bags 3 Jap Planes
In Daring Raids

Lieut.. James B. Van Fleet, Kenton,
navy fighter pilot, recently shot down
three Jap planes as he led a group
of four American raiders in an at
tack on a 75-plan enemy formation
over Formosa.
The airman since has returned to
this country with total of six Jap
planes destroyed during 80 combat
missions as pilot of a navy Hellcat
fighter. For his exploits he wears
the Distinguished Flying Cross and
the Air Medal.
In his most recent raids Lieuten-
ant Van Fleet hit enemy installations
in Tokyo and Kyushu, helped smash
enemy fleet units at Jure and the
East China Sea and pummeled Jap
defense of Okinawa.
His wife Jean and their seven
month-old son live in Kenton.

Sue Judge Grow Estate
For S10,462

Howard A. Traul, former Logan
County prosecuting attorney, filed
suit in Hardin County Common
Pleas Court recently against the es-
tate of the late Appellate Judge Phil
M. Grow, Kenton, seeking $10,462.23
for the Peoples Commercial Bank of
Bellefontaine.
In his petition, Traul contended
that the jurist transferred 118
shares of stock in the bank before it
became insolvent with an intent to
defraud creditors of the bank. Later
he claims, the state superintendent of
banks sought S11,800 from Mrs. En-
ma Arndt, Crows sister-in-law, to
whom he had transferred the stock,
and from Judge Crow.
After both pleaded insolvency,
Traul claims the claim was settled
for $4,000. At that time the Judge
had realty and personal property
worth approximately S500,000, Traul
contends.
The present suit seeks the balance
of the $11,800 double liability claim
plus interest.

Ralph Reed Heads
Putnam Scouts

Ralph Reed has succeeded Harry
Corkwell as scoutmaster of the OF
tawa troop, Boy Scouts of America,
it was announced recently. Reed has
been assistant and Corkwell has
shifted to assistant scoutmaster.
The 1916 financial drive for the
Put-Han-Sen area is nearing the
goal of $1,000 set up for Putnam
county Reed stated. He said the
collection in Ottawa has passed the
community quota of $500.
Corkwell, who is Putnam county
auditor, explained that his official
duties require SO much of his time
he has found it impossible to devote
sufficient time to scouting and for
that reason asked Reed to succeed
him.
Reed is a service man for the West
Ohio Gas Co. and well known to
many Bluffton sportsmen.

Mrs. Alpha E. Saiter, Beaverdam,
after an interruption of II years
was graduated from Ohio Northern
