Needle Found In Elyria Barber After 39 Years
William Bil Leedale, 42, owner of Leedale Beauty Parlor in Elyria, had a needle removed from his leg by Dr. John P. Rankin. The needle, about one inch long, had lodged after he swallowed it as a three year old in Braintree, England, and remained unseen for decades until soreness prompted medical attention. The instrument was largely intact with a small bit broken off in tweezers, and Leedale recalled a prior belief it would dissolve without incident.

Sheriff Plans Addition of Crime Squad Car and Radio Link
Sheriff Clarence E. Adams announced plans to add another squad car to the county crime squad soon. He credited the current car with reducing petty crime at night and discussed installing a county radio broadcasting system to link squad cars with the sheriff’s office, at an estimated 500 dollars for the station and 100 dollars for car receivers. Adams favored a local focal station over the Cleveland system and wondered about FCC licensing and costs. County commissioners will consider the request in budgeting. The existing cruiser covers about 250 miles nightly, and an extra vehicle would allow countywide nightly patrols.
