Well, just about They're calling it the case of the man who almost went to the cleaners. The story goes like this. One evening last week, a man dropped off a suit at Capitol Dry Cleaners' main office, 3790 S.

Dixie Drive, according to a company spokeswoman. His mother, unlike mine, must not have told him to "check all your pockets and make sure they are empty." The next morning, the man returned and asked if his suit had been cleaned yet. The clerk checked and said it had not. The man then told the clerk he had left something in the pockets and asked if she would retrieve the suit. The clerk dug the suit out, went through the pockets and found what she determined to be about $22,000 in cash.

The clerk said she gave the man the money, was thanked, was given a $50 reward and took back the suit for its intended cleaning. The man then left with his money. "He didn't seem nervous and he wasn't camped at our door that morning," the company spokeswoman explained. "It all seemed quite peculiar, but it was not ours to ask questions." A giving, loving soul While glancing through the Sunday Dayton Daily News, an obituary caught my eye. It is different than most and tells a story in itself.

In the event you missed it, I thought I would share a part of it: "Betty Werner Marvin left the world on Wednesday evening, Feb. 20, 1985. A giving and loving soul, Betty devoted her life to her family and loved ones. She did this not because she had no other options. To be sure, she was very intelligent and multi-talented.

Few of her current friends realized that she was a promising actress and musician in her youth. In recent years, she directed her artistic talents to paintings, ceramics, and other crafts. Yet, the greater purpose of her life appeared to be her gift of love to others. Betty Werner Mar-vin departed the world Wednesday evening knowing what a profound gift she left behind. She passed on in the presence of her daughter, sons, and a dear friend, knowing that they loved her as she loved them." It started here, folks Well, I suppose you saw Phil Donahue and his wife, Mario Thomas, when they were featured on CBS's 60 Minutes last Sunday night.

It was an interesting piece, but did you notice that Mike Wallace didn't once indicate that the whole Donahue magic started right here in Dayton? Donahue learned his interviewing techniques on WHIO radio, and later translated his talents to television when WLW-D (now WDTN) gave him his big break. They didn't have to make a big deal out of it, but Dayton certainly could have been mentioned. They mentioned Cleveland, where Phil was born. By the way, I was listening in to Steve Kirk on WING radio Monday morning while on the way to work. He also watched the Donahue profile.

"Just think," Kirk told his listeners, "when Phil was on radio here, I was making more money than he was. Now he's making big bucks, and is being interviewed on a top-rated show on television, and there I was sitting in front of the TV set eating a burned talk show host at WAVI, has been dis-' missed along with eight other station employees, including Joe Whalen who for many years was general manager of both stations. Among the others dismissed Thursday were John Jay, station manager at WDAO, WAVI newscaster John Bennett, a reporter, and two WDAO personalities Kenneth Ray Tevis, and Nicholas Busbee. Bell promised employees better benefits, including a stock-option plan. He also told them about the company's health, life and disability-insurance program.

WDAO, an FM station, will become an AM station and continue with its black-oriented programming. BELL SAID THE format changes are effective at midnight on Sunday. In the meantime, both stations will be carrying WDAO programming.

Various personnel changes also have occurred at the station. Johnson, a salesman at WDAO who also hosts a gospel music show on the station, is the new station manager at WDAO. He will be the first black station sic show on the station, is the new station manager at WDAO. He will be the i first black station manager in WDAO's 1 history.

Glenn Bell, president of Stoner Broadcasting new owner of WAVI and WDAO, officially announced Stoner's plans for the two stations this morning, ending weeks of rumors at the studios on Cincinnati Street. For openers, WAVI, now an AM station with full-time talk programming, will become an FM station with a con He indicated Stoner's goal with its FM station here is to be competitive with WHIO-FM. GRAY SAID switching WDAO from FM to AM will enable Stoner to "service Dayton's black community to the highest degree." Bell said that the Stoner will now ask the Federal Communications Commission to expand the AM station's broadcast day beyond the daylight hours. As an AM station, WAVI currently signs on at sunup and off at sundown. He also said call letters will be changed.

The new call letters for the station will be WWSN, and the logo will be Sunny 107. The AM station will be WDAO.

He's the fellow in the funny clothes who travels around town trying to get people to clean up their acts. The city, which sponsors him, is now trying to find a slogan to remind folks to keep our environment clean. The slogan must be 10 words or less, and according to Peggy Burris of the Dayton Recreation and Parks Department, "must relate to either a clean environment, litter control, cleaning up around us, or preventing littering." It might be a good contest to get your school class involved in. The winner will get $25, a T-shirt and his or her name in this column.

Six honorable mention winners will get T-shirts. Burris said entries must be on an official entry form which can be picked up at any Dayton recreation center.

Mrs. Stockard said the discovery was made about 5:15 a.m. "He was a very hard worker," Mrs. Stockard said of Cargill. "He came and went at all hours.

My husband and I remarked that he could get by on less sleep than anyone we knew." "He was always very friendly and did so many things for people," Mrs. Stockard said. Lt. R.J. Smith of the Sidney police department said the doctor was last seen alive when he closed his downtown office about 11 p.m.

Wednesday. Others who were at the office said Cargill planned to go home, where he lived alone. Smith said Cargill's body was sent to the Montgomery County coroner's office for an autopsy, but that a report may not be completed and released for several days. SMITH ALSO said police are examining some physical evidence collected at the scene of the shooting, but he declined to elaborate. Cargill worked out of an office at 109 E.

North St. in Sidney. His brother, Robert Cargill of Sidney, said the doctor also operated the City Carry Out at 126 N. Ohio Ave. Robert Cargill said his brother was born on a farm in the Sidney area and had lived in Shelby County all his life.

He said Cargill practiced medicine in Sidney for about 30 years. The brother said Cargill often worked with the elderly in Sidney and was physician to residents of the Shelby County Home and a home for the elderly run by the Presbyterian Church. Cargill also is survived by a sister. Mary Tennery of Sidney Funeral arrangements are to be handled by the Cromes Funeral Home. By ACE ELLIOTT Staff Writer SIDNEY Neighbors described Dr.

Homer Cargill as a friendly, hard-working man who was the idol of oli'er people in the community as word of his death, apparently a slaying, filtered through the city today. The body of Cargill, 55, was discovered in the driveway outside his home at 325 E. Lynd-hurst St. shortly before 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

Sidney police said he had been shot once in the heart. "It's going to be a long, drawn out case it looks like," Police Chief Jack Wilson said today. He said neighbors and others are being interviewed, but investigators have no suspects and have not determined the motive. The Montgomery County coroner's staff performed an autopsy on the body in Dayton, the chief said. "It (the bullet) entered the shoulder area and penetrated the heart," he said.

CARGILL WAS a longtime resident, a noted podiatrist and a businessman. His death stirred the quiet northeast Sidney neighborhood populated mostly by middle-aged and older couples. "He was a wonderful person," said Mrs. Pat Zorn, who lives across the street from Cargill. "I can't say enough about him." Mrs.

Zorn and her husband, Bill, said they heard what may have been the shot that killed the doctor. "We heard a sharp report early in the evening, well it was between 10 and 11," Mrs. Zorn said. "It sounded like a rock hit a window." "My husband went outside and looked around, but he never thought to glance across the street. If you back out of our driveway, you can back right into Dr.

Cargjll's drive. That's how close it is." Another neighbor, Dorothy Stockard, said her husband, Jim, was backing out of their driveway at 406 E. Lyndhurst St. when a newspaper carrier, Steve Kirn. 21, stopped and asked for The Bob Hippie Laboratory for Cancer Research changed names but not places today as it became independent of Wright State University.

The eventual move of what is now known as the Hippie Cancer Research Center from the Cox Heart Institute to 4100 Kettering Blvd. has been delayed at least a month until the tenants at the new site can move. The center becomes an independent research center, but it plans to maintain its academic affiliation with the WSU School of Medicine. The laboratory's board of directors had acted chiefly as a fund-raising body, and the laboratory was governed by the WSU board of trustees. Now the center's board of directors will act as its governing body also.

The center's new home, now occupied by the Ohio Department of Health's Dayton office, provides larger quarters, said Dr. Martin Murphy. Murphy founded the lab at the Sloan -Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in 1977 and moved it to Dayton in 1979. Smoke to get in fewer eyes if proposal wins passage By GREGORY GILLIGAN risk than ever before. Second-hand smoke refers to smoke released into the air from cigarettes and inhaled by non-smokers.

On the other hand, opponents, such as the Ohio Restaurants Association and tobacco producers, plan an agres-sive battle against the Mil. They believe the measure would decrease sales and would be too costly to implement "It is not the job of government to dictate to a business something that it is impossible to do," said Tim Pond, executive director of the Ohio Restaurants Association require buildings to have adequate ventilation systems so smoke could not circulate to the rest of the establishment. This provision, in most cases, would force building owners to install a separate ventilation system. "NON-SMOKERS should have as much right to breathe fresh air at smokers have the right to breathe ruined air," Thompson said. "It going to be a tough right (for approval of the Mil) and it won't be easy, but we Med it" Under the legislation, first time violators would face a maximum $100 fine while a second offense would carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Proponents of the legislation believe current laws are inadequate to deal with health concerns and risks that face non-smokers Under a 1976 law, public buildings in Ohio only are required to have non-smoking areas RAXTON TEW ART, director of community affairs for the American Lung Association of Ohio, said new data on second-hand smoke shows non-smokers have a greater health COLUMBUS Smokers will find it tougher to light up in restaurants, banks, at work and in other public areas in Ohio if state lawmakers approve a proposal limiting smoking areas. The Mil. introduced this week by state Rep. Ike Thompson, D-Cleveland, would require that separate "air tight" areas be set up to permit smoking in public and private buildings, except bars and tavern. Furthermore, the 'legislation would.
