The three judge panel deliberated about two hours in Auglaize County Common Pleas Court before returning the guilty verdict against Maier, 23, and Mrs. Maier, 20. Amanda, who lived with the Maiers along with her sister and brother, was pronounced dead at Joint Twp. Memorial Hospital at St.

However, the defense at-t countered the charge saying the injuries were sustained in a fall. Amanda, Patsy, 5, and Michael, 2, were placed in the Maier's home by Mercer County Juvenile Court authorities at the request of their father, Ralph Murphy.

Patsy and Michael are now living in a foster home. Sentencing in the case was postponed by the three-judge panel, pending a decision from the defense on filing an appeal.

Bureau of Labor Statistics says the 1972 dollar has 65 percent less buying power than it had in 1937.

That would make junior worth 65 percent more to you now. Hmmm. That's probably a' net figure, right? A lot of appreciation minus 35 years depreciation? And not even counting all that accrued interest. "now they want us to pay them for the days they were on strike, and that we refuse to do." WRIGHT ALSO said Ohio law requires that all end-of-year reports toe turned in before a teacher receives his paycheck. "We believe we have done our part," he said.

"It's the teachers' turn now. We will now investigate the legal implications of the strike and determine our next step." Ben Van Nostrand, president of the teachers' association, said the teachers "feel the board is using a reprisal against them by not allowing them to make up the days." The teachers voted for the walkout last Thursday shortly after the board had rejected the recommendations of an advisory panel which had been appointed to arbitrate the dispute. This school year is scheduled to end tomorrow for students and Friday for teachers. By John Felton Journal Herald Staff Writer Wright State University has given up its demand that it have the final responsibility for the control of Channel 16, WOET-TV. University trustees yesterday approved moves that will lead to resumption of a consortium with WSU, Miami University and Central State University serving as equal partners in running the educational station, The trustees directed WSU President Brage Golding to meet with presidents of the two other schools "to resolve an appropriate approach toward the organization of a non profit corporation" for Channel 16.

By Robert Schumacher 'Journal Herald Staff Writer Making up lost work days apparently is the only issue preventing settlement of the 2-day-old teacher walkout in the Wayne Twp. school system. Both school i i a 1 and spokesmen for the Wayne Classroom Teachers Assn. said yesterday the terms of a contract between the school board and the association were worked out in a negotiating session that ended about 3:30 a.m.

yesterday. But when the teachers met yesterday morning and were informed the board wouldn't agree to let them work an extra day to make up for the day lost Monday, they voted not to return to their classrooms. SO FOR THE second day in a row, Wayne's schools attempted to operate using those teachers who did report for work plus sutstitutes, aides, parent volunteers and administrators in the classrooms. Supt. Charles Newton said the elementary schools operated a full day, but Wayne High School closed at 9:30 a.m.

and Stude-baker Junior High around 12:15 (p.m The contract terms worked out in the early morning meeting yesterday included a com-promise on the salary issue which had been blocking agreement. The board had offered a salary schedule calling for a salary of $7,400 a year for a beginning teacher with a bachelor's degree. The a i a i had wanted a $7,500 ibase pay, although it reduced that demand to $7,435 Sunday night. The agreement reached yesterday calls for a $7,400 base, but provides for increases in the 'salary index. That means abeg inning teacher would make $7,100 year, but experienced teachers would make a higher percentage of that base salary.

NEWTON SAID the proposed salary schedule would cost the board less than the association's original $7,500 request, but "probably" more than the $7,435 the association said Sunday night it would accept. If the board would agree to the teachers' demand that the lost work days be restored to the school calendar, the coast to the board would be around $16,000 per day. The schools have been using about 50 substitute teachers per day during the teachers' absence at a cost of around $1,000 a day. Board President William Wright said last night he is not optimistic about the chances for a settlement if the a remain firm in their demand that they be allowed to make up the lost days. He said the board agreed to what the teachers wanted and ACTIONjUNE By Fred Lawson Journal Herald Staff Writer "I didn't know I could move so fast." That was the first reaction of Mrs.

Jo Ann Ashburn after she fled from a sofa in the living room of her Huber Heights home yesterday afternoon just before an out-of-control bus rammed through the picture window of the home and demolished the sofa. "I was sitting on the sota at the corner of the picture window when I heard tires squealing outside and I raised up to look out the window to see what was happening," said Mrs. Ashburn, of 4364 Leston Drive. "I saw a bus in the middle of the front yard coming right at me, so I jumped out and ran down the hallway just before 1 heard a crash and cracking of glass. "Then I thought of my 5-year-old" son, Keith, who I thought might have been playing in the front yard and I ran out to see about him.

"But I found him safe in the side yard and neighbors said he was there when the accident happened," said Mrs. Ashburn. THE FRONT OF the Ashburn residence was heavily damaged and the bus, a Bus Lines bus on a regular run through Huber Heights, probably is a total loss, according to a bus line spokesman, spokesman.
