If there's anything handler than
casserole dish to have bubbling
away in the oven when dinner
time comes around )hese busy
days of housekeeping or outdoors
works Mrs. Port Clinton hasn't
heard of it.
It's safe to say there are more
casserole dishes being readied each
day, right now, than at any other
time of the year.
Mrs. Steve Bacak, $50 Maple
street, busy mother of two cute
small fry, says she is much in
favor of casserole dishes because
they are easily prepared, need
little watching, and the cleanup
is simple. One of her family's fav-
orite casseroles utilizes leftover
ham.
Another favorite recipe is for
lemon merigue pie, and third
is for some oatmeal drop cookies
which two year old Stephen and
four year old Carol like to help
their mother prepare. MIR. Bacak,
who is with the Minderman Ma
rine Mfg. Co., would tell you these
three make mighty good eating.

& The
80 FARMERS wife
E~~YN BY GRACE LUEBKE

Last Sunday night the folks at
Genoa Grange were hosts to farm
people from all over the county in
the annual observance of Rural
Life Sunday. The event began
with potluck supper at $50
(Which, needless to say, everyone
obviously enjoyed) and then the
worship service began, which was
most inspirational. The theme of
the service was the thought that
we were again dedicating the seed
we sow, the fertile soil, and our
own hands to the Lord, and again
thanking Him for the sunshine
and rain to help our crops to grow.
Although the attendance at this
service was good in comparison to
what it had been in some former
years, nevertheless l think it's too
bad that more farm people don't
take time out to gather together in
such worship service to publicly
acknowledge their debt to God.
without whose cooperation our eff
forts would indeed be futile.
Those taking part in the pro-
gram for this observance were

dali, Mrs. Ed Yeasting, Clifton

to be completed within a few

A sales contract has been en-

Ex-vA EmpIoye Held
In Bi|king U. 5. Of

Man Accused of Altering
Death Benefit Claims
Caught in California

A former Government emplOye
accused of bilking the Veterans
Administration of $20,436.40 was
arrested in Glendale, Calf, to-
day after a cross-country chase,
the Secret Service announced.
He was identified as Leslie E.
Stout, 43, a former VA employe.
He was charged with forgery and
negotiation of two Government
checks.
Secret Service spokesmen
would not comment on whether
an accomplice, still employed at
the VA. is being sought. Stout
/ has not worked there since 1851
and the checks were forged and
cashed here in May and June of
this year, agents said.
Each of the checks was in pay
ment of VA death benefit claims.
Stout was quoted by the Secret
Service as saying that he had
altered the vouchers on legiti-
mate death claims, in each in
stance changing the address of
the beneficiary.
Mailed to Local Address.
The checks then were mailed
in the name of the actual bene-
ficiary, but to addresses where
Stout had rented rooms in
| Washington in the names of the
legitimate benef1ciaries, the Sc
cret Service said.
A Secret Service spokesman
said one of the checks originally
had been made out to George
E. Scott. of Abbeyville, South
Carolina. The address had been
altered SO that it was sent to
70l Nineteenth street NV,
where Stout had rented a room
in the name of George E. Scott,
Secret Service agents said.
The other check was made out
to Walter Dixon of Buckner.
Ark. That address was altered
to 1912 Twenty-first street NV.
Agents said Stout had only
! $4,000 when he was arrested,
| and told them he had bought
an automobile. here for $4,000
and had lost most of the money
gambling.
Were CaShed Here.
| One of the checks, approxi-
mately $4,000, was cashed at
the Treasury Departments cash
room here. and the other at a
| Washington bank.
Secret Service and Veterans
Administration investigators
have been investigating the case
for several weeks. They said
they succeeded in identifying
Stout and tracing him across
the country.
Stout was employed at the
VA as a clerk from 1945 to 1851.
Secret Service agents quoted him
as saying that during his work
there. he became acquainted
with the handling of death bene-
fit vouchers.
