State Patrol In
Investigation
OF Amity Fire

Five people in two separate cars
narrowly escaped serious injury
late Thursday afternoon in an ac-
cident just west of West Jefferson
on Route 40.
Both vehicles were eastbound
when the accident occurred, and
both were moving. According to
reports, it appeared that car
driven by Mary Hargrove, 20,
Sperry, Oklahoma and occupied by
Earl Hargrove and Curtis Austin,
a 13 month old boy, rolled over
after an attempted passing on the
double lane highway. The Har-
grove car was a total wreck, and a
large quantity of clothing and 9TH
er personal items were scattered
for several yards in the area.
The car which was struck by the
Hargrove car was operated by Err
nest II. Hutchison, Xenia. A pas
senger in his car, Louise Hutchison,
was only slightly injured. Damage
was apparently confined to the
rear of the Hutchison vehicle.
The occupants of the Hargrove
car were only slightly injured Earl
Hargrove was treated for a broken
nose and a few decorations, the
child was treated for a cut face
and Mrs. Hargrove was treated for
shock. All were taken to Mt. Car
mel by the West jefferson Emer-
gency Squad, and later released.
No charges were filed in the acci-
dent.
The accident was reported by
State Highway Patrolmen from
the London Post.
State Patrolmen also investigat-
ed fire near Amity on Thursday
in which a six room, two story
frame house, along with part of
the contents was destroyed. A
mother and four weeks old baby
were in the building when it
caught, but were able to get to
safety.
1t was the property of Ely Mise
ly, and was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Melvin F. Yutzy and three
children. No injuries were involv-
ed
1t was believed that sparks from

Other Juveniles
Figure In Two
Area Accidents

A transient juvenile, who could
MT seem to tell the same story
twice, escaped from the juvenile
quarters of Madison County Jail
sometime Tuesday night by crawl
| ing through the bars, according to
the Sheriff's office
The boy, who gave his name as
Gary Scott, and said he was II
years old, had been picked up by
State Patrolmen. He was being
held for an investigation. Deputy
Kenneth Johnson said the youth
apparently crawled through bars
at a place where they had been
previously sprung outward. The
distance between the bars was ap-
proximately five or six inches, ac-
cording to officers.
When picked up, the youth gave
several different addresses in Illi-
nois, Tennessee and elsewhere. He
also gave conflicting statements as
to where he was going. He said he
was part Indian, and that he had
not seen either parent in more
than a year. He stated that his
| father was an inhabitant of a Chi
cago "skid-row" district, and he
didn't have any idea where his
mother was"
State patrolmen said the boy
was a diminutive youth, but evil
IDENTIFY in excellent health. They as
sumed he was an escapee from a
Juvenile home or other institution,
after noting his healthy, appear
ance and that he had almost per-
feet teeth, which showed signs of
excellent care.
Deputy Johnson said the boy, in
escaping, evidently left the quar-
ters and then went out through a
kitchen door. The door was report
edly locked the previous night and
found open the next morning.
The youth was picked up while
hitchhicking on roads in Madison
County.
In other Patrol activity, two CO.
lumbus juveniles were slightly in
jured when car they had stolen
from Columbus crashed into the
rear of truck in the Route 40 un-
derpass at Route AZ.
They were treated for minor in
iuries and returned to Madison
| County Jail, later being released to
Columbus officers for prosecution.
The car they were driving was re-
ported stolen from Wylie Taylor,
Columbus.
Juveniles also figured in another
accident investigated by State Pa
trolmen. They reported that a car
driven by Charles Jones Jr., 21,
Lockbourne Air Force Base, failed
to make a curve on Gregg Road,
and resulted in minor injury to a
13 year old West jefferson girl.
Another teenage girl and teenage
boy who were passengers in the
car were not injured. Jones re-
ceived minor injuries.
Jones was charged with unsafe
operation and was released after
putting up a $500 bond in Lon
don Mayors Court.

Richard Montgomery's Student
Council has cleared up the mys-
terry of the missing president.
The latest news is that Larry
Cox, vice-president, will not
move, so the coming election will
be a strictly presidential one.
The election will be unusual
in that the candidates will not be
nominated, but will file for office.
AS in the normal process, only
seniors are eligible. The school
constitution states that there must
be four candidates. If only three
students file for office, a commit
tee composed of Mr.. Tarallo, prin-
cipal, Mr.. Mcfarland, Student
Council advisor, Larry Cox and
the Cabinet will choose two of
the three who they feel are best
qualified to run.
Whoever wins, the big push of
the Council this year will be the
activity card. With the new in
stallment plan the funds should
be available right away for in
creased percentages for the clubs
and activities of r. M. II. S.
Many of us upperclassmen ex-
pected a much smaller enrolment
this year, but returned to find
the school just as crowded this
year as it was last year if not
more so. When you get to be a
senior it is hard to realize there
is no one above you. When you
are freshman it is hard to be-
lieve that you'll ever get out of
the place. It's hard to say which
is worse. The freshman will tell
you about the four long years of
hard work ahead of him. The
senior will only smile and shake
his head-and start to remember.
Seniors are non-existant in the
band at r. M. H. S. this year. This
may mean that the band will go
back to playing the elementary
music they were playing four
years ago, but schedule is a
