TRIMBLE YOU COULD begin the story with a phone call the State of Ohio vs. William P. Lardo.

Charge: Murder. This was Wednesday, after the killing. Twice the phone rang. Down S. High in a bar not distant from the Police Station a woman picked it up.

"Hello, is this "Speaking." Bill Lardo asked me to call you. asked me to tell you he's sorry about everything." "Yea." "Well uh that's It." "Thank you." The phone in the Police Station and the one In the bar clicked down. bought a farm in this vicinity on which he lived for many years. The farm is now a part of Akron. It is reasonable to assume that the street takes its name from the Allyn family.

BEARDSLEY ST. Talmon Beardsley, born in New York state Dec. 15, 1799, came to Gen. Perkins' plan did not work out fully as the first Kuildings in the new town were erected at Main and Exchange sis. AQUEDUCT ST.

About 1840 the Akron Cold Spring Co. was incorporated for the purpose of piping water from a large spring about a mile and a- half along Aqueduct st. and W. Market st. in 4-inch mains to West Hill homes.

This was one of Akron's earliest' water systems, and it existed for nearly a half-century. These aqueducts gave the name to the street. SPICER ST. The first white man to settle in what is now Akron was Miner Spicer who bought 200 acres of forest land near the present corner of Spicer and Carroll sts. He built a log cahin in the forest in 1810 and became Akron's first citizen.

FIRST CABIN ST. The log cabin home of Miner Spicer was WILLIAM P. LARDO, 42. of 374 Pine gat by a switchboard Tuesday night. From 8 p.

m. to 10, he answered calls, scribbled addresses and like a croupier flicking chips across a table he sent taxia hurrying out. At 6:04 Wednesday morning, Lardn, who had hlood on hi trousers, watched his name neatly penned In the big Arrest Book at the Police Station. At 8:30, he was charged with first degree murder.

"But I love you anyway, honey:" rv ft: 1 JM MAIN ST. When Cascade, better known as Hall's Corners, later North Akron, was laid out, allowance was made for the canal in the middle of the village street.

Wagon lanes on both sides of the canal account for the unusual width of Main st. in downtown Akron. In the early days it was called Water st. In 1836. when Cascade was combined with South Akron at Main and Exchange the name Main st.

was officially adopted by the village council. HOWARD ST. Under the laws of 1837 it was possible' to put a man in jail for debt. Charles W. Howard, a pioneer manufacturer and merchant, failed in business and was unable to pay his debts in full.

He was kept in the Portage County jail for nearly a year but a street was named for him. FURNACE ST. About 1833 a steel mill, or blast furnace, was erected on the Ohio Canal near lock No. 12. According to the atlas for 1874, the street which we know as Furnace St.

was surveyed through to the steel mill from Howard st. Furnace st. takes Its name from the old Aetna furnace though the street does not now, and never did, approach the furnace site. BUCHTEL AV. Named for John R.

Buchtel, farmer and manufacturer interested in blast furnaces, coal mines and similar enterprises. He was born in Green Summit County, Jan. 18, 1820. Ground was broken on March 15, 1871, for the erection of Buchtel College, now the University of Akron, which was largely the result of Buchtel's efforts.

"Then I went to work." But he returned, about, in p. m. The dispute started anew. Finally, he said, Louise said she wanted to aee the show at the Yankee Inn. He, Louise, and a truck driver from Broekton, set nut.

They kept spatting. Lardo hit Louise, police said. Outside the Yankee Inn, the truck driver smacked Iardo. Back to the Patrons Club Louise went. Minutes later, Lardo Walked in.

He'd taken a taxi. "Wait for he told the driver. The argument got nastier. Suddenly, Lardo knocked Louise from a bar stool, police said. She ran toward the door.

She almost got downstairs. She was stabbed four times in the left side of her chest; once in the shoulder; and once in the side. A hunting knife made in Europe ith a blade six inches long was usea, ponce saia. LARDO GOT in the taxi. "Take me to North Akron," he said The cab pulled away.

A few minutes later: "I've Just stabbed a woman," he said suddenly. "I guess I'd better give myself up." He did. Rv OSCAR SMITH YOU'RE DRIVING home about 5 p. m. or heading for work around 8 In the morning and the Exchange st.

traffic jam seems to be even more jammed than usual. As you sit there, waiting for the long line of cars to creep along, you have plenty of time TALMON BKARDSLEY to think, even brood a little, over driving conditions on Exchange st. during a rush hour. Exchange. That's a peculiar name for a street, Isn't It? Wonder how Akron's founding fathers happened to think up that one.

It was all right for horse and buggy days, perhaps, but now you can hardly exchange your position for one a few feet ahead of you. Say, maybe I'd have saved time going home on Market st. By the way, how did that street ever get such a name Arthur H. Blower, historian of the Summit County Historical Society, can tell you. He did a great deal of research in preparing a booklet, "How It Was Named," for the society, delving into the histories of streets and other placei in the county.

BLOWER LEARNED that the first building erected in the new village of Akron was a tavern, on the northeast corner of what is now Main and Exchange sts. The second building was a wooden general store building on the southwest corner. According to legend, hunters and trappers brought their animal furs to this store to exchange them for flour, sugar, clothing and other goods. The store was often mentioned as the exchange store and later the street became known as Exchange st. As Blower says, It should he remembered that this is only a legend but, since it is an interesting one, it Is generally hoped to be the true one.

Market st. history goes back to the days when, in order to take care of horses, it was necessary to have numerous livery stables in the "downtown" districts. These places were supplied with feed that was sold on the street generally on present Market st. between Howard and Main sts. Gradually the street where markets were conducted became known as Market st.

Blower uncovered these facts about other Akron streets: NEWTON CHALKER PFC Proctor, Former Ellet Athlete, Hurt 1 LET'S GO back: During World War II, Lardo was a private first class in the 565th Quartermaster Railhead Battalion.

"Three years, I drove a truck," OS CITY BUSINESS jParks Chief Told To Buy Gas And Oil Slusser Ponders Course Of Aetion By KENNETH F. COLE Service Director Marvin L. Davis revealed today he gave Parks Supt.

Richard S. Barn- hardt permission to use a city car while Barnhardt was serv ing a 60-day suspension from his job. Davis said Barnhardt asked to use the car jecause some important work had to be done in the Parks Divi sion during the suspension which began Aug. 18. "Since he had no personal car I told him he could use the car.

But I told him he would have to buy his own gas and oil," Davis asserted. Davis Records at the Johnston St. Yards show $31.10 charged to Barnhardt's car during the two-month period. Of this sum. $22.35 was for gasoline and the balance "or servicing, oil and miscellaneous items.

MAYOR SLUSSER was to confer with Davis and the Law Department today to determine what action will be taken. "My orders are that city cars are to be turned in during vacations and any time the workers are not on duty. I assumed Barn- UTS RICHARD S. BARNHARDT hardt's car had been turned in," Mayor Slusser aid. Barnhardt's ear was driven 2,045 miles while he was officially not on the city pay roll.

"Earnhardt was not even supposed to be on city property during this suspension," the mayor said. THE SUPERINTENDENT said he worked at the Perkins Woods Museum of Natural History and on several parks matters for no pay during the suspension. "Nobody asked him to work and nobody wanted him to," the mayor asserted. Barnhardt was suspended by the mayor after the state examiners reported "loose bookkeeping and cash-drawer borrowing by Barnhardt." Will Appeal 8 Convictions To State Court An appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court will be made in an effort to upset contempt convictions of George R. Bass and eight other United Rubber Worker leaders.

Atty. Max Johnstone said he intends to ask the state tribunal to review the Ninth District Court ruling that upheld the convictions Wednesday.

The 5,000 delegates and guests from all parts of the state ended their four-day meeting at the Hiith Street Church of Christ. Dr. Fey declared that everyone should have more faith in God and realize that His hand controls the world today. The Chicagoan recently returned from Korea where he had been an observer. He said the great majority of the Communists now in the United Nations prison ramps are Christians.

A small, group of hardened Korean Communist officers have been causing all the trouble In the prison camps, he said. "These officers were disturbed 1 because so many of the North Koreans have accepted Christianity and show no signs of rejecting it," he said. DR. FREY reported over 70,000 of the prisoners are attending Protestant services under the lead ership of North Korean ministers. Most of these never were Communists and do not want to return to Communist-dominated terri tory.

"I attended a dawn prayer meeting on Koje at which 6,000 of the prisoners were present," he said. "One of the chief aims of the rebellion on Koje was to divert attention from these mass conversions to Christianity." He found 642 South Koreans currently studying for the min-istrv. "in my opinion the United States had no alternative but to intervene when the Communists attacked in Korea," he said. THE REV. Merrill Cadwell.

Crenshaw said about 70 per cent of his denomination's church members have come up through the Sunday School. Mrs. Anna G. Thorpe, superin tendent of the Cleveland Chris, tian Home, and Mrs. Fred Wolff, superintendent of the Emily E.

Flinn Home for the Aged, Indianapolis, spoke at a luncheon at the YWCA. They described the worlc being done by their Institutions, both of which are operated by the Discriples of Christ. GI Allowance To Help Thief In Comeback? A disabled U. S. soldier plani to use a government allowance to rehabilitate himself after he gets through serving time for grand larceny.

Leonard T. McBryer, 43, of 219 E. Market disclosed the plan after pleading guilty to stealing fishing tackle parts from the Enterprise Manufacturing where he was employed. His attorney, George Pulos explained to Judge Ray B. Watters of Common Pleas Court that McBryer gets $109 a month now in disability payments because of shrapnel that struck him in the back during World War II.

"When he has finished his tithe he expects to enroll for technical training under the GI Bill. This will increase his government check to $185 a month. It will permit him to fit himself for responsible citizenship again," Pulos said. Asst. Prosecutor Alfred E.

Vuillemin said McBryer took part of expensive fishing reels out of the plant with him, assembled them in his room, and hawked them on the sidewalk at a fraction of their retail cost Because of a good army service record, snd because he had 110 past criminal record, Judge Wat-ters placed McBryer on probation, for five years. One of the terms, however, compels McBryer to serve six months in County Jail. He will then begin his reporting to the, probation office. 2 Akron Girls On Polio List Children's Hospital reports two new polio cases, bringing the year's total of patients to 578.

She'd say she was my wife, and she'd run up big charge accounts." Lardo looked amazed. "I never knew anything about it until about two weeks ago," he exclaimed. "We live in a three-room place. I wanted a home a big place where I could bring my children to live. "Louise also has two kids living with her mother In Blooms-burg, Pa.

Maybe they could have come to live with us. "But she wouldn't have none of It. "She wanted a good time and that was all. "Come home you're Jired, you need some rest," he said. The two had spent the day in Loudonville.

Newton Chalker, born in 1842 at South-ington, came to Akron in 1874, establishing a law and real 'estate officeHe developed a number of sub-divisions of Akron, being particularly noted for the allotment on North Hill on both sides of the street that bears his name.

Chalker unwittingly created a section of Akron known as Chalker'a Landing when he laid a wooden platform on the muddy ground at the street car stop at the corner of N.

Akron docks were a'standstill for the fourth day i.a "hlnrfcarie" a "blockade" by an owner- tor group P. M. 'Thomas, executive vice president and general manager, said the situation is "status quo." The dispute, centers around the company's cancellation of leases with some of the owner-operators. It Is not a dispute between the company and the AFL Freight Drivers union, the company em phasized. The owner-operators, their attorney, Stanley Denlinger, said, are protesting the lease cancellations while a Federal Court suit is pending.

PORTAGE PATH For centuries before the coming of the white man there was a path between the Cuyahoga River and Tuscarawas River, over which the Indians carried, or portaged their canoes.

The name Portage apparently came about naturally, but its origin seems to be lost in antiquity. It is mentioned frequently in the earliest writings on local history. All uses of the name Portage locally, such as Old Portage and Portage County, had their beginning in the original Portage Path. PERKINS ST. Blower said the histories do not reveal conclusively the Akron Perkins for whom this street was named.

However, there is no doubt about Perkins Square. When Gen. Simon Perkins laid out the little village of Akron, he intended it to grow around the park, or commons, in the center of the town after the style of Eastern cities. He accordingly laid out the present park, which bears his name, bounded by Exchange, Bowery, Middlebury, now Buchtel and Locust sts.
