Also noted: public assistance rolls decline, a July 4 dog show in Erie, Post Office relief to Germany, a CBS broadcast on shortages, polio preparedness conferences nationwide, steel coal shortages, Pure Oil discoveries, and local crime notes including a brick building sale bid and a stone-throwing incident.

Akron Man Killed Near Harborcreek While On Train
The death of Joseph Alfred Boufford, about 68, identified by a Social Security card, was reported near Akron Ohio along Nickel Plate tracks one mile east of Harborcreek. Deputy Coroner W Allen Firman said Boufford likely fell or was thrown from an eastbound train, becoming entangled in wheels, and lay in weeds for about two days. He was 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed around 198 pounds. An overcoat was torn and spotted by Nickel Plate workers. Trial by battle reference appears in the piece.
