Today Sam Patterson, 81, Belle
fontaine, is in Union county Jail
at Marysville on bad check and
larceny by trick charges.
A parole violator from the
Ohio penitentiary. Patterson, who
describes himself as a "monu-
ment salesman" was termed a
fourth time loser" yesterday by
a state parole officer.
He has served three terms in
the penitentiary and under the
habitual criminal act may be
sentenced for life.
McKeever said today he was
on his way to Columbus when he
saw Patterson walking along the
road.
He said recognition must have
been mutual because Patterson
made a dash around a building
and started up the railroad tracks
before he, McKeever, got his car
stopped.
McKeever said he started
through a yard and was met by
Mechanicsburg Police Chief Ira
HALEY, who lives nearby.
He said the two of them chased

Truffic Wdrning
Devices Being Tried

Two traffic warning devices,
intended for the protection of
school children crossing the
streets, have been purchased by
the Village.
The devices are constructed of
rotating blades mounted at the
top of standard. The slightest
breeze, even that of a passing
automobile rotates the blades and
gives the appearance of a boy
running.
Tested in other towns, the de-
vice is said to have been an eff
fective aid in slowing down traf-
fic at school intersections.
The two purchased by Marys-
vile will be tried out at the in
tersections of E. Fifth and Syca-
more sts., and w. Sixth and S.
Court SITS. If found effective here,
additional devices will be pur-
chased for other dangerous in
tersections, Mayor Kingsmore
said.
