Broadcast Returns
Missing Coat In
Matter Of Minutes

The Ottawa County News
broadcast, heard daily over
WFRO, really gets results, a.
was proved last Monday in ;
trice.
Mrs. Russell Tripp, 100 Wal
nut street, called the neWs-cast
department of the News short
ly before the Sis broadcast
time, to say that her sons brown
jacket had been lost. The boy
had placed the coat on the
sidewalk while he went to the
police station to obtain a BIZ
cycle license. When he came
out the coat was gone.
The item was aired by Mar
guerite Finefrock of the News,
and Mrs. Halle Finefrock, who
was listening, called Mrs. Laura
Montgomery that the coat
which they had found and
taken into the library as a lost
item, had been identified. Mrs.
Montgomery called her librarian
daughter, Thelma, and told her
who the coat belonged to. 1t
was then returned to the owner.
All this took place in a matter
of minutes after the broad
cast-just another service the
News was glad to have a part
in.
