Jury favors bank in chinchilla case A seven-member Augusta County Circuit Court jury found in favor of First Virginia Bank of Augusta on Wednesday in answering questions involving a loan made for the purchase of chinchillas to a Rt. 1, Fishersville couple in February 1970. The suit was brought against the bank by Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas R. Meeks. After the jury found in bank's favor, J. Forester Taylor and J.

Marshall Coleman, attorneys for the Meeks, made a motion for a voluntary non-suit of their case. Richard W. Smith, attorney for the bank, asked Judge William S. Moffett to enter judgment in the case. The judge set July 10 at 9:30 a.m.

as the time to hear further arguments on the matter. The jury decided that the plantiffs were induced to enter into a contract with G. E. Murphy and W. C.

Sterre, who represented themselves as the Rocky Mountain Chinchilla Breeders Association, by means of false and fraudulent misrepresentation. The jury also agreed that the bank did not have sufficient information at the time the loan was made to know that Mr. Murphy and Mr. Sterre were engaged in a fraudulent scheme. The third question answered indicated that the Meeks did not exercise reasonable care and prudence for their own protection.

Mr. and Mrs. Meeks borrowed $2,000 from the Waynesboro branch of the bank to pay Mr. Murphy and Mr. Sterre for chinchillas.

They reportedly paid $3,000 for six animals which turned out to be of poor quality for breeding purposes. They contended the bank should have warned them that the two men were "flimflam" artists. Defense attorney Smith argued that the Meeks made a "bad deal" and that they would have to suffer the consequences. Lee yearbook cover design wins top prize HENDERSON VILLE, N.C.

That performance led to the role in "Shane," in which he played an impressionable youngster learning the meaning of violence on the plains of Wyoming during the American frontier. Because he continued to look younger than his age, he often played a similar role in' later State Bar in 1931 and joined the Virginia Bar Association in 1932.

In 1947 the Richmond Bar Association elected him president.

The unemployment rate, dropped during the month. It was the second straight substantial monthly price increase, following a three-fifths of one per cent hike in May for the largest two-month increase since last January and February. The Labor Department also reported that the nation's unemployment rate dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 per cent of the work force last month for the lowest figure in more than a year and a half. The improvement was entirely due to seasonal factors.

But the actual total of jobless Americans climbed 1.1 million to 5.4 million in the annual summer flood of school youngsters seeking work. Because the rise in the work force was not as large as expected, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a decline in the jobless rate on a seasonal basis. Livestock prices climbed 4.7 per cent, rose 6.9 per cent and processed meats, poultry and fish rose 3.6 per cent, the report on wholesale prices said. Industrial raw materials rose three-tenths of one per cent and consumer-finished goods those ready for retail markets increased five-tenths of one per cent. The increases pushed the government's Wholesale Price Index up to 118.8 of its 1967 base, meaning that it' cost wholesalers $118.80 in June for every $100 worth of goods five years ago.

The index was 3.9 per cent above a year ago. TODAY'S GIVEAWAY Nine 6-week-old mixed-breed puppies. Telephone 337-1875 it-'- AtM- .7 fit classifications.

Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m.

At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby.

Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. Head of Eastern Orthodoxes dies ISTANBUL (AP) Metropolitan Meliton, the archbishop of Chalcedon, is being memtioned as the likely successor to Patriarch Athenagoras I. the leader of the world's 250 million Eastern Orthodox Christians, who died early today at the age of 86. Meliton, 59, was to preside over a meeting today with the 11 other archbishops of the Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate to decide on funeral arrangements for Athenagoras.

Later, at a date still to be announced, they will elect the new Ecumenical Patriarch, who is also Ar-chibishop of Constantinople. Another prospective choice is Metropolitan Kallinikos, who was named acting vice patriarch today after the death of Athenagoras. Athenagoras died at Balikli Greek Orthodox Hospital in Istanbut, succumbling to kidney failure following a massive loss of blood pressure, his doctors said. He broke his hip in a fall a week ago and was to have been flown to Vienna today or Saturday for orthopedic surgery. His 24-year reign was most notable for his efforts toward reunion with the Roman Catholic Church after more than 900 years of schism.

He and Pope Paul VI met three times, in Jerusalem, Istanbul and Rome. WILSON SELF SERVICE GROCERY (Open Air Market) Route 250-42 CHURCHYILLE, VA. SPEGIALS! SPEGIALS!
