Dayton Woman Leads City Manager Defense Effort
Dayton housewife and League of Women Voters leader Mrs. William A. Sohl spoke in Athens on political action to defeat a Dayton charter amendment. The proposed change would have replaced the city manager with a strong mayor system and altered powers. The defeat followed an August primary with about 37 000 votes. The league conducted a door to door informational drive and warned of reduced public awareness. In other news James Adkins, 19, was treated for a back injury at Hudson Health Center after an incident at his dormitory. At Southerton's Beauty Academy, a student fainted and received first aid.
