Parents Stand Vigil In Search for Pilot
The distraught parents of Charles H. Jacobs, 22, Vernon Center, resumed their daily vigil as state police and volunteers drag the Oneida lake to locate his body after his light plane broke up in mid air. The plane was recovered the following day with an empty cockpit, fueling speculation Jacobs was blown from the craft after an explosion. Divers and crews had previously failed to recover the body during two days of attempts in rough waters. Jacobs, who bought the plane against his parents’ protests, had taken off from Bates Field in Vernon at 1 am on December 15, refueled at Canastota Airport, and departed again.

Byrne May Get Tire Contract
The J P Byrne Tire Co appears to be the successful bidder for the city’s 1658 tire contract after Firestone withdrew. City purchasing agent George Waite reports the award is pending a further study. Firestone sought withdrawal due to inability to provide required service, and Byrne holds the bid with a $2,250 binder. General Tire Co. was the other bidder but considered too high. A final decision awaits corporate counsel review and a recap of 1957 purchases.

City Supervisors Delay Oaths as City Clerk Reports Few Filed
Most city supervisors elect have fled their oaths with City Clerk Edward R. Apps while only three of nineteen town supervisors-elect have done so with County Clerk Walter E. Lansing. They must file before the first board meeting in January. Mayor-elect Henninger will take his oath December 31 to avoid an empty executive head as Mead’s term ends at midnight. On New Year’s Day he will repeat the oath at a mass ceremony for Common Council and city departments. District Attorney Arthur Wilson, rejected last fall, will be sworn in that day with his assistants.
