THE JOURNAL HERALD May 20. 1962 am after saving Weaver went into the river, picked up the duck and gave it to Noble, according to police. Noble said Weaver told him he was going to swim back across the river, police said. But about 20 feet from the bank he started yelling and swimming back and forth, according to witnesses. Carchedi said a woman on the bank began screaming and trying to throw the swimmer a rope.

"Grant said to me, 'It's now or 'Annexation bid "It looked like he had a net and was catching ducks," Frank Carchedi, 17, a Fairborn Baker junior, said yesterday in a telephone interview from his home in Fairborn. Carchedi and a teammate, Grant Bates, 17, witnessed the incident while they were sitting on the river levee behind the Troy stadium where they were participating in a track meet. The Fairborn youth said the man identified as Weaver "brought in one duck and gave It to an old guy standing on the bank. Then he went back in the river." wawagewawawaaaswjswewjsswjyqEqw ww.w.,'xvvT-?rw- 1 South Lebanon seeks plant site 'O.

The area includes an industrial plant of a Cincinnati corporation, a Japanese company's site where construction has just begun on a manufacturing plant and a 70-acre site that Lebanon is developing as an Industrial park. The council, In a special meeting, passed an ordinance establishing the proposed annexation boundary. It will be presented to the Warren County Board of Elections, which will schedule a vote on the proposal. Only Union Twp.

residents will be eligible to vote. After the vote, the issue will be presented to Warren County commissioners, who will have the final say on the proposed annexation. The proposed boundary line runs south and west from South Lebanon along the Little Miami River, then north along Columbia Road, east to Just north of Nelson Avenue, on Ohio 48, and south to the center of the village. The area includes the 1-71 interchange, the Cincinnati Milacron plant and the site where Fujitec Ltd. is building an elevator-escalator plant in addl- Staff photo by Skip Peterson Lorenzo Harris details profits to David Johnson Micronomics Small-sized executives learn real-life economics From where the two were sitting "it sounded like he was calling the ducks," Carchedi said.

"We saw his head go under so we ran down there where two other guys were stripping down getting ready to go in," Carchedi said. Carl Noble of Troy told police he and Weaver had been fishing and saw two men on the north side of the river throwing rocks at ducks, hitting one. Noble and Weaver got in their car and drove around to the opposite bank. Running the business included "keeping inventory and ordering the chips every week," said Sheri Talley, sales vice president of the Huffman Magnet (School) Company. "You also had to pin people down and find out how much they sold." j.

Like all businesses, Huffman Magnet had its share of problems. During the early weeks, some students forgot to show up for work. Then an ice cream truck started competing for business. But the students "worked out scheduling problems among themselves," said teacher Shelby Fannin. And using the soundest of economic principles, they stayed in the market "by selling pretzels and corn chips.

cheaper than the ice cream," said Sheri. After finishing their balance sheets and computing their profits, the class found they had raised $1,000 $200 more than their goal and more than enough to do get what they wanted, a farewell party and an evening at La Comedia dinner theater. "So it makes for a real source of pride," said Fannin. "This class demonstrated better than any math class the realities of handling money. It's amazing because when we started this project the kids were terrified.

Some of them had never made change or handled money." The best thing about consumer education "may be attitudlnal," said Dr. Walter Verdon, of Wright State University's Center for Consumer Education. "It teaches kids about reality and responsibility. And a lot of teachers say a spin-off Is a better self concept for a lot of kids and fewer discipline problems." Verdon said several teachers found economics classes to be so successful they continued using profit methods as motivators In other classes. "We can figure out these profits, easy, now," said Lorenzo Harris, 13, as he rattled off the formula.

"But the best thing about running a business," said Kenyatta Williams, "Is when you know how to make money and handle It, you can be on your own." By BiU Fox Mtfrapstttaa Staff WiHer NerNi Miami Valtv Swats TROY Despite the efforts of bystanders including a pair of Fair-born Baker High School track athletes a Troy man apparently drowned only minutes after he had rescued a wounded duck frsm the Great Miami River. According to Troy police, Richard L. Weaver, 22, of 9 N. Market was pronounced dead at Stouder Memorial Hospital shortly before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

RTA sued to block bus lifts Two men yesterday sued to block the Miami Valley Regional Transit Authority's plan to use wheelchair lifts on electric trolley buses. Douglas Oaks of Vandalia and Harvey Hylton of Kettering demand that the RTA be prevented from purchasing trolley buses equipped with wheelchair lifts and from adding lifts to buses in its fleet. The transit authority plan, which was adopted in January, calls for using wheelchair lifts to make half the rush-hour buses on its regularly scheduled routes accessible to the handicapped. Project Mobility, which now provides specially equipped buses for the handicapped, would continue under the plan. Oaks said, "The plan is a very, expensive impractical idea." He said that Project Mobility meets a federal requirement that transportation be provided for the handicapped and that the additional lifts on the trolleys "aren't worth the expense." The RTA will have enough wheelchair-equipped diesel buses to make half its diesel lines accesible by July.

But RTA officials expect it will take until July 1983 to purchase and modify enough trolley buses to make half those lines accessible. In their suit, Oaks and Hylton said it will cost $6.5 million to buy and maintain the new trolleys and wheelchair lifts. They said the cost of the lifts far exceed their value to passengers and that using the lifts on trolley lines will disrupt service to the bus-riding public. Critics of the RTA's handicapped transportation plan have said using lifts on regular routes will throw buses off schedule because the lifts take time to operate. Critics also say the lifts have frequent breakdowns.

RTA General Manager Fred Dyer refused to comment on the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court suit. But in the past, Dyer has said it is illogical to consider not using wheelchair lifts on the trolley lines. He said all lines should have wheelchair lifts to allow wheelchair-bound passengers to transfer from one route to another. Centerville offers space to township By David Sacash MffrvptMtaM Sttff WrMf Centerville has offered to share office space with Washington Twp. in an attempt to help the township save money.

Mayor J. V. Stone made the offer in letter to Walter Buchanan, Washington Twp. trustee president. Stone wrote the letter after he became aware, through a story in the Centervllle-Bellbrook Times, that the township had approved an $8,700 architectural contract in connection with a proposed administrative building that could cost the township about $900,000.

"In these times of heavy tax burdens, it is our responsibility as officeholders to spend public funds wisely and seek cost-cutting methods," Stone said. Stone said yesterday Centerville has office space available at the city building or in the service building behind the city building that could be remodeled. Stone said the city also has office space at a building on Suburban Drive. While the trustees are against a merger with Centerville, the letter said, the township still could use the same office building and maintain a separate government. WAVI TWIGS beats goal Action Una cut red tap, gats answer, rights wrongs.

Cal anytime. Or write Action Una, The Journal Herald, 17 8. Ludlow Dayton, Ohio 45401. I recently read an article about the gifts the U.S. government receives from foreign dignitaries.

The story made me curious about the gifts these dignitaries receive from us. Is there a record of these items? And who decides what they will be? C.H, Fort Loramie. Action Line received a rather icy reception to this question when we first called the' State Department. But we thawed that ice sufficiently to obtain some answers for you. Bunny Murdock, protocol gifts officer for the State Department, said she could not give us a list or the cost of gifts presented to foreign dignitaries.

"We don't like having them (the gifts) published because of comparison by other governments," she said. "It's just not good for foreign relations. We tread very carefully on gifts." Betsy Koons was more helpful. Ms. Koons is executive assistant to Sheila Tate, press secretary for Nancy Reagan.

Gifts, Ms. Koons said, usually are exchanged at state dinners in the White House. The gifts are chosen by Selwa Roosevelt, chief of protocol. Ms. Koons sent press releases for the three state dinners given this year for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in February, Italian President Alessandro Pertini in March and Netherlands' Queen Beatrix in April.

Signed photographs of President Ronald Reagan and leatherbound editions of the publication Washington, the Capital were given to all three visitors. President Pertini also was presented with an engraved humidor filled with specially blended pipe tobacco. President Mubarak received a humidor containing an assortment of hand-made cigars plus a Lenox presidential plate and "a space shot of the Arab Republic of Egypt." Mrs. Mubarak was given a small apothecary jar containing jelly beans. Queen Beatrix received a Steuben crystal sculpture." Most gifts given to U.S.

presidents are stored in the National Archives office and eventually Will be exhibited in presidential libraries. Our Elna sewing machine has a lifetime warranty against "defects or breakage resulting from Imperfections in manufacture" on all parts. In March, the needle clamp broke, so we paid $24.18 for a new one. We sent the defective part to the manufacturer, but the company denied reimbursement and returned the part, saying It could find no defect. H.E.A., Trot-wood.

When you purchased your machine at least 25 years ago, Nechhi-Elna Co. distributed Swiss-made Elna products in the U.S. and offered the lifetime warranty. However, the White Sewing Machine Co. in Cleveland took over the distributorship in the mid-1960s and decided not to honor Nechhi-Elna's lifetime warranty.

White is not bound legally to honor the Nechhi-Elna warranty. But even more noteworthy is the fact your warranty states parts are guaranteed for defects "resulting in manufacture" of parts. If the part you purchased had been defective, It most certainly would have been noticed before now. You say White's position "makes better sense now."

Bates can't swim so he stayed en the bank in an attempt to point out where the man had gone under to his teammate and the other two men later identified by police as Mike Ruflin of Troy and Dave Crossman of Tipp City.

Carchedi said he stripped off his shoes, socks, shirt and sweat pant? and "went in with these other two guys." Their efforts at finding Weaver failed.

The annexation would give South Lebanon the highest per-capita income In the county, according to Village Solicitor John C.

Quinn. Lebanon officials say they consider the area south of the city as service area. Lebanon is installing sewer and water service to that area. Village officials said they want the area for its industrial plants and industrial potential and also its potential for residential development. i And they say it Is only a matter of time before Lebanon makes annexation moves in that area.

Lebanon attempted to annex about 1,200 acres of land in the area south of the city about two years ago, but the proposal was rejected by Warren County commissioners. I The commissioners iaCd the' area was unreasonably large, Lebanon City Manager Tim Hansley said. South Lebanon has no sewage system and only a partial water system, but Quinn and village officials claim these utilities will be available to the proposed annexation area when needed. The village also has adopted a percent income tax, which will become effective July 1. A similiar income tax, which brought in about $90,000 a year, was dropped by voters in 978, officials said.

Since the shooting, which occurred Oct. 30, 1980, Blankenshlp has undergone two operations. He and his Victor and Rose Blankenshlp, claimed in their suit that his injury has impaired his ability to attend school and get a job. Cornyn said Blankenshlp has. been unable to attend school since the incident, but plans to re-enter In the fall.

The civil suit trial began Monday before Judge George Gounaris, who Issued a verdict Tuesday that Collins did not intentionally shoot Blankenshlp. But Gounaris ruled Collins was negligent and instructed the jury to consider an award of damages. Gounaris also dismissed Collins' parents as defendants. They were named in the suit as owners of the car and gun. The jury also awarded Blankenship's parents $32,500 in damages to pay for medical expenses.

Cornyn said that to collect the jury awards, civil suits will be filed against companies which hold auto and homeowner's insurance policies with i both families. "We didn't file suit to collect damages from the Collins family," Cornyn said. In November, Brad Clay left the station after refusing to do his air shift In protest of a $5 fine he wu assessed for violating station policy regarding the sequence in which records were to be played. Clay, who worked at WAVI for 10 years, now works at WPFB-AM In Mlddletown. Asked why WAVTs personnel relations tend to be so volatile, Hall said, "I think It's Just because of the strong personalities that talk show hosts have My job Is never boring." Hall said the station will start looking for a replacement for Gallagher, but that he will take over the shirt "until further notice." Gallagher said he doesn't know what he will do next, except that he Is working part time at WKEF-TV on a weekly show scheduled to go on the air In the fall.

TWIGS, the Children's Medical Center auxiliary, yesterday-, announced it had reached its goal of raising $600,000 for the hospital a year ahead of schedule. y. During Its annual meeting, the group 'presented "Richard Martin, hospital board chairman, a check for $182,000 $37,000 more-than needed to meet its pledge. "It was a marvelous job," Martin said. "It's especially amazing' they were able to fulfill their pledge in these times in four years instead of five.

They deserve all the credit they can get." The $600,000 total represents about 20 percent of the cost of new wing of offices and equipment completed in 1979. Since its formation 17 years ago, the group has raised more than $1.6 million for various projects at the hospital. Besides fund raising, TWIGS also provides volunteer services. Shooting victim to get $300,000 By Carol Canclla Journal HtraM Staff Wrtttr With hawk-like, blue eyes, first-grader Jackie Harbin watched the assembly line. Being foreman "is fun, but it's not easy," said the 6-year-old as she supervised 10 Huffman Elementary School classmates working on the "Jackie Company" line.

Under Jackie's direction, one group of first graders cut, while another pasted to finish their product within the allotted 10 minutes. When the final product a poster depicting words and pictures beginning with the letter was completed, Shawn, an Inspector, looked for flaws. "I tell them to be quiet and keep on working," said Jackie of being the boss. Graded a little better for his management style was William McVey, 7, head of William's Company. "I just work with the people," said William.

As managers, neither Jackie nor William are pushovers. But then neither are the other first graders in their "factories," said teacher Elizabeth Shadowing. "These children may be too young to know how to read or do math well," she said. "But they're not too young to reason. Economics education reinforces that." Shadowing's approach is one of many that Dayton teachers are using now to teach economics and "bring the reality of every day life" into the classroom, said Emma Williamson, consumer economics education supervisor for Dayton schools.

Yesterday the students demonstrated their economics lessons during a teach-in at the Gem Savings auditorium. Other consumer economics activities sponsored by the schools and Dayton businesses continue today and tomorrow at Courthouse Square and Sinclair Community College. During yesterday's session, the first graders said they learned you can get more done with group organization and helpful management. A more sophisticated economic project was undertaken by an eighth grade math class at Huffman, which undertook a noontime potato chip vending business. li li ift i-I ft?

And yesterday, a Montgomery County Common Pleas Court jury awarded 18-year-old Stephen Blanken-ship $300,000 In damages for the Injury. Christopher Cornyn, one of two attorneys representing the injured West Carrollton youth and his parents, said Blankenship's abilities to speak and concentrate are permanently affected. Defendants In the suit were Blankenship's friend, James Collins, 19, of Moraine, and his parents. According to Cornyn, the suit and testimony during the trial: The boys were high school Juniors at the time and were out driving around Dayton.

Gallagher said being well versed on the subject had nothing to do with It. "I was told to get off it because It didn't (conform to) Mr.

Crowl's political beliefs," he said. Gallagher said he wrote a letter of resignation that says, In part: "I can no longer abide by the pretense that my views are not governed by management, a view Mr. Crowl has frequently expressed, when they In fact are."

About p.m., Gallagher said, producer Tod Rifner told him WAVI owner H.K.
