Dayton Daily News from Dayton, Ohio • 4

DAYTON DAILY NEWS May 26, 1986 I px" 'www" Ohio had most hands, plus fins, in fund-raiser 5 across the nation participated in the event, designed to raise funds for America's hungry and homeless. In Ohio, between 80 to 100 percent of the routes through each county were filled, Ms. Milenthal said, but she said no figure on funds raised is avaiable. The state had its share of celebrities appearing in line including U.S. Sen.

John Glenn, D-Ohio, Gov, Richard Celeste, actress Celeste Holm and comedian Don Novello but a couple of big fish stole the show in northeastern Ohio. Terri Drohan, spokeswoman for Sea World in Aurora, said trainers held fins with Namu and Shamu the killer whales, while Seamore the sea lion and Coolie the baby Magellanic penguin offered their flippers to keep the line solid through the tourist attraction. Ik iL TY CREENLEESSTAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Human chain stretches along Ohio 202, over 1-70. into Huber Heights ASSOCIATED PRESS A penguin, two whales and more than 900,000 people joined hands, fins and flippers to form Ohio's link in the nationwide Hands Across America fund-raiser. That was more people than turned out in the District of Columbia or the other 15 states along the route.

But organizers say it still wasn't enough to fill the gaps in Ohio's 593-mile link in the chain. The 901,960 people in the Ohio link came from Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Georgia and Ontario, Canada, and spanned 24 counties for the 20-minute ceremony Sunday, said Bonnie Milenthal, state Hands Across America director. Texas had the next highest number of participants with 620,000. "It was a stunning success," said Ms. Milenthal, although numerous gaps were sighted throughout the state.

She said officials had originally estimated they would need only 790,000 Ohioans to keep the human chain unbroken and raise $10 million, but the lines were several people deep in some areas. An estimated 4.9 million people Hands HOT WATER HEATERS! ktesu 40 GAL. I A T.LDUNLEYEYandSON 293-4066 "Any way," replied the weary Morris. "Move!" Nearby salesmen hawked T-shirts bearing the Hands Across America insignia and a representative from a local radio station passed out sun visors bearing his station's call letters. The yellow sun visors were accepted happily, though no sun was in evidence.

The throngs of participants departed quickly. By 3:40 p.m. a teen-age boy skated confidently across the bare vast-ness of Courthouse Square. And Alice Watts, American Red Cross executive director for Shelby County, prepared to return to Sidney from their medical-aid post in the square. "We had a few minor problems, mainly (foot) blisters," she said.

"They came right up to us for help." CONTINUED FROM1 "They used crepe paper on (Ohio) Route 4 just outside Dayton," reported Marti Johnson of Camden, a ham radio operator relaying messages from a trailer in Dayton's Courthouse Square. Toilet paper and bed sheets also were unfurled to maintain linkage along the route. The goal was people to line up in the 50 miles between Springfield and Middletown, Morris said. He estimated 80 percent of the desired number showed up, many at the last minute. Donations of $10 or more were received from pre-registered participants, but last week the event was opened to everyone without charge.

Morris said he had "no idea" how Participants' radios blared out the strains We Are The World as the event began at 3 p.m. with a few voices hesitantly raised in song. Few knew the words to the Hands Across America song that followed, but voices rang out exultantly from the linkup of young and gray-haired participants alike for America the Beautiful. Afterward, the 30-year-old Morris eyed the disbanding participants from Courthouse Square and said, "I'm beat. I don't know how I'm standing up." The strain had been evident 30 minutes earlier as Morris cupped his hands and yelled at the line of people on the nearby sidewalk td" "stretch out" the "Which way?" demanded a stubby middle-aged man.

much money ultimately may be received for the hunger campaign from the local area. He said it would be "weeks or months" before the totals are collected and announced from the Los Angeles headquarters of the operation. Dayton-area participants were orderly and mostly obeyed instructions to remain on the sidewalks. Near Sinclair Community College, the line briefly moved into the middle of Third Street, but then quickly bent to the sidewalk in front of the Montgomery County Administration Building to link up with a man in a wheelchair. Three miles to the west, the line was joined by a number of patients from the Dayton Veteran's Administration Center, where several more in wheelchairs joined in, Morris said.
