Daily Thursday, 17, 1966 Cattle Sales Barn Leased by Norwood Operated continuously for more than 30 years at 1901 Beloit the Janesville Sale Barn, went out of business yes terday. The large frame structure will be converted to a warehouse facility for Norwood Mills, has a one-year lease. 1. G. Hall, co-owner with Stuart said today that Norwood would take over the bulk of the building, but that offices would also be rented out.

The restaurant will continue to operate. Hall said the reason for renting the bam was, "It wasn't making any money." Robert Mischka. treasurer of Norwood, said the building would add 15,000 square feet of storage space and be used to store both raw and semi-finished products of the company, which lost about 70,000 square feet of storage and manufacturing space in a million blaze that swept the square foot Kennedy Road plant Dec. 17. The firm has announced plans to rebuild the structure starting this spring.

Mischka said the semi-finished rolled goods would be stored at the sales barn and returned to the Kennedy Road plant for putting and shipment. Workmen are busy today tearing out stalls and partitions in the sales bam. The building was erected in the 1930's by John Torpy and Clyde Hoops, Nebraska livestock dealers. Torpy died soon after the building was finished and Hoops managed for it for a time. In May, 1940, the property was taken over by Wisconsin Dairy Cattle Market owned by Dr.

R. H. Bussewitz, Walter Gasper and Robert Morton. Woodrow Traxler, who operated a similar but smaller livestock business on County Trunk later joined the new organization. In 1952 the Janesville Livestock Exchange was incorporated, by James, Paul and Mark Wixom.

Two years ago In November 1963, Stuart Shade! and I. G. Hall purchased the barn and operated under the name of Janesville Sale Barn, Inc. The building was remodeled in 1952 providing the most elaborate facilities for both sellers and buyers ever seen here and was said to be the only one of its kind in the nation at the lime. The 75-by 250-foot building was one of the largest in this area in the 1950's and accommodated 500 head of livestock.

The renting of the sale bam for warehouse space marks the passing of an era in Janesville history, as the day of the local sale barn seems to have passed from the American farming scene.

Motors Weaker NEW YORK (AP) Motors weakened in an irregularly lower stock market early this afternoon but a number of specially situated issues showed strength. Trading was heavy. Although the news about corporate profits and industrial production was very good, there was speculation that President Johnson might ask for a tax boost if prices continue to rise.

All Big Three motors were losers but Studebaker advanced well over 2 points and Wall Street tried to sift out the truth at the bottom of various rumors that another tender offer was being made for the stock or that certain interests were acquiring it. Allied Products, prominently mentioned in this respect, climbed nearly 3 points. rrlcei provided by Loewf a lae. (Membtr, New York Stock Exchuct) Mrs. Laura Hanson EAST TROY-Mrs.

J. Nickel, Cashier Merchants Savings Bank Janesville, Wisconsin If you take vitamins, yet siill feel tired may need more than vitamins to restore your normal strength and energy. That's because your worn-out feeling may be due to iron-poor, tired blood. Vitamins alone can't build up iron-poor blood. But GERITOL can! That's because GERITOL not only contains 7 vitamins but, in addition, supplies the amount of iron needed to build iron-rich red blood.

Just 2 GERITOL tablets, or 2 tablespoons of GERITOL liquid, contain twice the iron in a pound of calves' liver! Seven times the iron in a pound of spinach! In only one day, GERfTOL -iron is in your bloodstream carrying strengili and energy to every part of j'our body! Proved By Medical Ttttil Patients diagnosed with iron-deficiency were often pale, nervous, and easily tired. After patients took GERITOL daily, doctors reported definite clinical improvement.

'Dtte to iron deficiency that a former district attorney had ruled that True Aviation Co. had breached its long-term contract by failing to pay rentals on time. But a few months later, he said, it was disclosed that Hodge Aviation had also defaulted on rent payments but that Corporation Counsel Ruth held that it had not breached its contract, Sanford made no secret of the fact that he would be happy if the Hodge contract for 5 years could be terminated, and the new uniform lease put into effect.

If Midwest signs the new agreement as if the county board will be made to have the Hodge and True companies also accept it, he said. "What kind of a county board have we got here?" demanded Richard A. Loga, Janesville. "Are we trying to drive business out of Rock County? We just voted $500 to bring business in." He was referring to a contribution to a vacation land publicity promotion. "We have put in a most frus trating year," Harold Robinson, Union Township, an airport committeeman, told the board.

"Many hours have been wasted." "Ideal Contract" With the aid of Ruth, he noted, the committee developed "the ideal contract" but he said, "the operators said: 'You can keep TTiey refused to sign. If this contract is not accepted, and Ruth draws up another, what good will it do if the operators won't accept it? They can always say, 'We want the Hodge type Before voting to table until the March meeting for a decision, the board had rejected by a vote of 39-13 McNeany's motion to table. This move, had it been accepted, would have required a two-thirds vote to take it from the table for renewed consideration. Add Psychiatrist Approval was voted to a project of the Rock County Mental Health Association to bring to the County Guidance Clinic a fourth-year psychiatric resident for a six-montli period to aid the existing staff. The resident, to work two days per week at $80 per day, will involve no cost to the county, although his pay will be routed through county channels.

The $80 per day rate, the board was told by Clare Eddy, Beloit, sponsor of the project, is about half the going rate for a full-fledged psychiatrist. The pay will be financed by a $960 grant from the Mental Health Association, using funds from the Beloit Givers Fund and a house-to- house canvass in Janesville. Another 40 per cent of the tota! will come from state mental clinic aid. The contributed funds will be disbursed through the county treasury, along with funds which later will be rC' claimed from state sources. Supervisor Joseph Matiack, Janesville, asked what will happen after the six-month period, after the users of the clinic become used to the added service.

"We shall have to go back to our present program," Joseph Schiro, clinic administrator, said. "For the six months, it will permit us to speed up our work." There is a long waiting list for service, he indicated. Plan Zoning Study By a vote of 57-0, the board approved plans for a study and survey which may cost $75,000 to $90,000 and provide the first step toward full scale zoning, suburban development and land use for Rode County, "nie idea was presented by Richard B. Eager, Evansville, chairman of the County Park and Conservation Commission. He called for "an in-depth study" to be paid for out of federal planning aid funds in large part.

Rock County's share ot the cost, he estimated, might be about $8,000 per year for the next three years with the chance that no money will be required this year. In that event, he said, the allocation can be included in the 1967 budget for the first time. Herman Schultz, Beloit, a former Park Commission mennJber, opposed the study and said that the professional planners produce little that is usable. Some doubts were also voiced by Joseph Matiack, Janesville, who pointed to an $8,000 airport planning study by a Cincinnati firm which he said was only "a lot of words." The board's action today Involved no financial commitment, but merely designated the Park Commission as agent for the county In negotiating for federal and state planning funds. It will work with the Wisconsin Department of Resource Development and the federal Housing and Home Finance agency.

A first move to put Rock County in line for federal antipoverty act funds was delayed pending a study by the county welfare board. It was proposed that approval be given to participation in the Communitv Action Program under the Economic Opnortunities Act, making use of federal antipoverty money. A resolution would have authorized a county committee to hire the necessary staff and fix policy and procedures, contingent upon receiving U.S. money. The matter was delayed by Supervisor Eager, who asked that it be referred to the welfare board for recommendation.

Lee A. Freeman, a Chicago lawyer, was designated by the board to act for the county in antitrust actions pending in an Illinois federal district court. He is the same one employed by the attorney general in a state action. The bar, it was stated, has required that an Illinois lawyer must be retained to handle the matter in that state, thus disqualifying Wisconsin lawyers already representing the state and the various counties involved. In another move involving lawyers, the board asked its courthouse committee to report at the next meeting on whether or not a public defender should be hired.

The suggestion came when it was revealed that lawyer fees for defending indigents in criminal cases for the past year amounted to $17,000. Lawyers are appointed by the courts in such cases. Rock County joined with others in Southeastern Wisconsin for a vacation-recreation promotion project in Chicago March 5-13. An exhibit advertising recreational facilities of eight counties in this area is planned at the Chicago Boat and Travel show, with the Southeastern Wisconsin Cocational Land Assn. as sponsor.

The plan for tourist promotion was offered by C. L. Coon, Janesville, vice president of the voluntary group. Also present was Walter Maurer, Indianford. Roy Richardson is the head of the association.

At the request of the personnel committee, a new highway department position was created, that of stockroom supen'i- sor. The salary range fixed is $500 to $625 monthly. Mrs. Walter Schwebke, wife of a Beloit supervisor, gave the invocation opening today's meeting. Morse.

Taylor In Hot Debate brought up the expressions fear by Lt. Gen. James Gavin (ret.) that Red China will come into the war if escalation pro-, ceeds. Taylor disputed this, though he said it is a matter of opin- ion on which no man could have proof. Has Vast Qroblema Among China's vast problems," he mentioned its growing population, food shortages, and "an' extreme reluctance" to weaken itself in relation to Russia." Taylor, under questioning, gave a definition of this coun- try's "win policy." To win in- this case, he said, does not imply "an Appomattox, a Yorktown, a ceremony on the battleship Missouri." What it means, he said, is to'' attain this country's basic oiv jective: to enable the people of- South Viet Nam to live in peace and freedom of choice.

"It is not our objective to. crush or destroy North Viet- Nam," Taylor said. In earlier testimony, Taylor warned of worldwide repercus-- sions unless the United States, shows in Viet Nam that Commu- nist wars of subversion are. "costly, dangerous and doomed to failure."
