“Task Force Frigid”
To Test Lima Tanks
The army’s “task force frigid,”
conducting cold weather tests on
fighting equipment in Alaska this
winter will try out the effects of
the severe conditions there on tanks.
It was learned from a war
department source that at least one
each of the army’s six types of
tanks will be shipped shortly to
Alaska. Some will go out from the
army ordnance depot et Lima.
Hundreds of other equipment
items, from clothing to radar, will
get similar tests.
The present tank models will be
tested to see what modifications, if
any, are needed to enable them to
operate efficiently in an area where
blizzards are frequent. The tac-
MAN RAISES HIS ARMS
ABOVE HIS HEAD FOR
FIRST TIME IN YEARS
A few days ago a naan said the
rheumatic pains in ids arms and
shoulders disappeared and now he
can raise his arms above his head
for the first time in years. He said
the pains he used to have from this
rheumatism wgre simply awful.
Sometimes his knees and hips were
stiff and sore, but the pains were
mostly in the back of his neck and
across his shoulders. Now, however,
his suffering is entirely gone and he
says the change is due to taking
RHU-AID. “Oh! What relief!”,
states this man. “Why don’t other
rheumatic sufferers get RHU-AID.”
RHU-AID is a new formula. It
contains Three Great Ingredients, so
it is almost like taking three medi
cines in one. It goe$ right to the
source of rheumatic aches and pains.
Miserable people soon feel different
all over. So don’t go on suffering!

Farmers will average 10 tons of
tomatoes per acre this year despite
the cool weather.
While growers are transporting
tomatoes in double trailers, the St.

Van W’ert, is experiencing the worst
labor shortage in history. Several
days this week employees were
transported to Van Wert to work
on night crews to keep jlants

Because of the labor shortage,
most tomatoes are turned into juice

Stunt Flier Puts On
Final Show
Mike Murphy, head of the Ohio
Oil Co.’s aviation department at
Findlay and a prominent stunt flier,
apparently meant what he said when
he made his final exhibition of
acrobatic and precision flying on the
last day of the recent Cleveland air
races.
To prove it, Murphy sold his
plane to Beverly Howard, Orange
burg, S. C., exponent of the ham
merhead stall, who won the national
acrobatic title at Cleveland.
The Findlay man, holder of a
string of flying championships,
taught American soldiers how to
pilot glider planes, and, as a
colonei in the Army Air Forces, is
credited with having landed the
first glider in France in the Nor
mandy invasion.
Presumably henceforth he will
confine his flying to the more con
ventional type.
“I am not a daredevil or a stunt
flier,” Murphy always has insisted.
“I fly for precision.”
Indict Ex-Justice For
Embezzlement
The Hancock County grand jury
returned an indictment against
Charles C. Hollinger, former Findlay
justice of the peace, on an embez
zlement charge.
Holliger was indicted first for
alleged misappropriation of $555 of
an appearance bond, and second for
alleged failure to pay to the county
$187.55 in fines collected.
Schools Hope To Keep
’45 Prices For Lunches
As cafeterias in Findlay High
School and two junior high school
buildings opened, Supt. F. L. Kinley
said an attempt will be made to
continue prices as they were last
year.
The schools have applied for
participation in the state-federal
school lunch program through which
public funds are distributed to help
meet the cost of school lunches, Mr.
Kinley said.
HARDIN COUNTY
Anyway He Eliminat
ed All Wrong Numbers
There were no wrong numbers for
the residents of a section of east
Kenton. In fact, many telephone
users didn’t get a single ring.
The reason:
A gas company employee was cut
ting a stubborn “root” of a tree
from the ground. He finally cut it
in two.
The root was a 25-line telephone
cable.
One Benefit Calls For
Another
In a donkey ball game held at
Kenton as a benefit for the Amvets,
John Dee Keckler broke his arm
when he fell from one of the an
imals. Now another benefit game
is to be held, without donkeys, to
pay Keckler’s expenses.
Kenton Phone Plant
Under Construction
Ground has been broken here and
construction started on the 200 by
60-foot factory building of the
North Electric Manufacturing Co. of
Galion.
The brick building will be devoted
to the manufacturing of telephone
equipment, particularly dial phone
instruments and automatic switching
equipment. Seventy per cent of the
employees will be women.
