Ohio 43055 Attn: Search Committee Man missing after storm him from a dresser and other Report: Ohio roads worst WASHINGTON (AP) Ohio's interstate highways are the worst of the seven largest states, according to a federal highway report. But the report also says the increase of poor pavement in Ohio was halted by 1983.

The 1985 report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration is based on conditions at the end of 1983. The report is made every two years. "Based on data supplied by the state highway agencies, the percentage of interstate pavement needing repair increased from 9 percent in 1981 to 14 percent in 1982," the report said. MaryLynne Cappelletti, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation, said Ohio has contracted for extensive interstate repaying in the two years since the report data was compiled and should be in better shape the next reporting period. For 1983, Ohio had 880 miles of rural interstates, with 195.2 miles, or 22.2 percent, deficient.

Its 664.3 miles of city interstates included 137 miles, or 20.6 percent, rated deficient. Celeste promotes literacy DELAWARE (AP) Gov. Richard Celeste says the inability of about 2 million Ohio adults to read or write is the state's major "hidden problem." The governor on Saturday warned 150 participants at the first Ohio Literacy Conference here that most illiterate adults are reluctant to admit their problem. "In many respects, this is a hidden problem," he said. "There is no question there is plenty of work for us all." As an example, Celeste recalled an encounter his wife, Dagmar, recently had with a gardener at the Governor's Mansion.

His wife had written gardening instructions in a note to the man, he said. She at first became irritated with the gardener when he did not follow her written instructions, the governor said. However, the man came to her later, "with tears almost in his eyes," and explained that be could not read the note, Celeste said. Skeletons not prehistoric COLUMBUS (AP) Skeletons unearthed last month at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base here are those of Ohioans buried during the early or mid-1800s rather than prehistoric Indians, says project archaeologist James Addfngton. The bones, found during construction at the base, originally were believed to be prehistoric Indian remains because they appeared to be covered with a red ocher pigment used in ancient Indian burial rites.

The red coloring on the bones apparently resulted from soil effects. Evidence of 19th-century origins are nails, earth staining from decomposed wood and the discovery of a 19th-century trash pit, containing bottles and metals, about 10 feet away at the same depth, he said. Addington said significant information has been obtained from the site. "We have here a series of occupations from prehistoric time to the present time," he said. "We recovered flakes of flint which indicate that in prehistoric time this was some sort of camp site for the making of flint tools."

Since most of the labor is donated, the money raised through the fund and other sources can be applied mostly toward buying materials; he said. Byler said about $100,000 will be raised altogether to help the victims, who are among the 200 Amish who live in the Mesopotamia-Middlefield area.

Daniel Byler, a har-nessmaker from Middlefield, heads a church committee that assesses the tornado damage and raises. MESOPOTAMIA, Ohio (AP) John and Elizabeth Weaver plan to move into a new house less than a month after a tornado destroyed their home, thanks to help from their Amish neighbors and their church's insurance plan. The Weavers are among Amish residents in Trumbull County whose homes were damaged by the May 31 tornadoes. The Amish victims, who don't have private insurance, are benefitting from the Amish tradition of neighbors pulling together and a self-insurance plan run by the money to pay the cost of rebuilding. The self-insurance fund is based on yearly assessments of about $1 per $1,000 property valuation.

That works out to about $100 a year for an average farm, Byler said. Whatever the fund doesn't cover is made up by other Amish. Byler said 35 churches in northeast Ohio, 70 in Holmes County and others in New York, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma have contributed to the rebuilding effort.

Firm to fund firefighters CIRCLE VILLE (AP) An unidentified industry says it's willing to give the city $20,000 so three laid-off firefighters can return to their jobs. Randy Knece, city law director, met with company officials Friday to work out details of the donation. He said there are no legal restrictions that would block the private contribution for such a purpose. Knece said the company wanted to remain anonymous. The firefighters were laid off two weeks ago in what the city said was a financial crunch.

The furloughs forced the closing of one fire station. Knece said the $20,000 would assure that the three employees could remain on the job through the end of the year.
