Auditor Saves
Wife's Cash,
Husbands S Neck

Timely arrival of state exan1in-
er from the office of State Audi
tor James A. Rhodes has saved
the manager of the Kent liquor
store Lot of explaining to his
wife about What did you do with
the money!"
The story was told by Rhodes.
In auditing the accounts of the
Kent liquor store, the examiner
found the bank balance S217 high
er than it should be. The store
manager couldn't explain the over
age.
Checking the daily bank deposit
slips. the examiner found two de-
posits for the same day. One was
for S217, the amount of the excess
money.
This still meant nothing to the
store manager.
Finally the state examiner went
to the bank and asked il. he could
see its deposit slip for that parti-
cular deposit. 1t was made out in
the name of the Department of
Liquor Control and properly cred
tied.
The store mangsr wa shown the
deposit slip made out in his hand
writing and asked if it could re-
fresh his memory. At the sight of
the deposit slip his face lit up.
Holy smokesr he said. That
deposit was my wife's Christmas
bonus check. ] guess / just made
the deposit slip read Department
of Liquor Control out of habit.
Thanks for finding it."

Our State Third
In Sap Production
Maple, That Is

Columbus, Ohio-One of the
busiest seasons in the maple syrup
business will be climaxed with the
32nd annual Geauga County Maple
Festival, April 6-8, in Chardon, o.
Maple syrup making has been a
very popular activity for produc-
ers and spectators alike, and it is
one of the oldest industries in the
state beginning with the early In
dian tribes. Ohio ranks third in the
quantity of syrup made annually,
but no state surpasses the Buckeye
brand in quality.
This years celebration will fea-
ture all of the time-tested events
that have attracted crowds in ex-
cess of 100000 in recent years. Sap
boiling and candy making will be
the big drawing card, augmented
by parading bands, log saving con-
tests, rube musicians, horse pull
ing competition, antique displays,
special banquets and other pro-
grams designed to maintain cons
tant merriment during the three
day festival.
Indications are that the supply
of maple syrup and candy will be
larger than usual this year
AS usual the ample trees in the
village park will be tapped and
the sap made into syrup so that
visitors may witness the process.

State 0kdy for
School Addition

The Virginia State Board OF
Education has authorized Fair
fax County to build an addition
at the Franconia Elementary
School so the tarpaper-covered

molished.

board members - has supplied
two temporary classrooms for the
overcrowded Franconia school
Residents protested that de-
spite the passage Of two bond
issues and the construction Of
new schools in other parts Of
the county, their children still
were attending classes in a
make-shift building that they
considered a fire-trap. They
were really annoyed when they
heard there were no plans in
the new $22 million bond issue
for an addition at Franconia.
The school board explained
that the 5-acre site at Francoila
was considered inadequate by
the State for any addition at all
At least 10 acres was required
by the State. and no more land
was available at Franconia, the
school board said. The board
decided to ask the State to waive
the site requirement. which II
finally did.
The Franconia school now has
IL standard classrooms. besides
the two in the shack. 1t is
planned to add a four or FIVE
classroom wing. Mr.. Walker
said architects were proceeding
with plans. but he expected the
shack would remain for nearly
