Inaccurate Invoice Causes Clerk to Chuckle at Board Office
A typographical error on a 1956-57 school year invoice caused H L Larson, Ottawa board of education clerk, to laugh this morning. The line should read Dall Brooks and Metcalfe, not Modern Chemistry Dall. Meanwhile in Pittsburgh a physician returned home and found the maid in the room, realizing the intruder was only the maid minus her wig. County Commissioner Lee Bonar enjoyed a light mood at the courthouse as rainfall totals varied across the county, with 0.90 inches west of Centropolis and 1.30 inches to the south, aiding grass and soybeans but not plowing. Franklin county married licenses climbed toward an annual record with 20 issued in July, part of a seven-month total of 121 in 1956, still nine behind 1954’s pace. June set no record, with 31 licenses in June 1956 versus 33 in June 1953. Records show March with 15 and July with 20 as notable counts.
