Associate Judge Patrick M. Schnauffer signed a final order enjoining Hal ter Snyder of Mt Airy from operating his lumber business until he pays in full all unemployment compensation contributions and interest in arrears.

The board had pursued a writ of fieri facias on a $290.62 judgment, but the sheriff returned nulla bona and the case remained unsatisfied. Snyder received 15 days to reply but filed none. He had been active in the eastern county’s lumber-cutting trade.
