city.
Beach said the rabbit was
not at large . . . anyway, not
very  large.
He also charged that custody
of the rabbit had been pressed
on him "forcefuUy and against
my wiU" by the city Health
Officer, Hugh Keveling, who
had also "harbored the beast
for a time".
Bob Harrison was in the
courtroom with Beach, as a
character witness, he said, for
the  rabbit.
Beach pleaded not guilty to
the charge and insisted on a
jury trial and a change of venue.
"Not guilty?" said Doc Buck.
"Haven't you got a rabbit?"
"Certainly I've got a rabbit,"
said Beach.
"I think I'd better .disqualify
myself in this case and send
you over to Ann Arbor," said
Buck.
Said Beach: "You can't do
that. The judge over there
would have to disqualify, too.
He's a member of a club I belong to." ("So is the rabbit,"
said Harrison.)
Beach said he wanted the
venue changed to Marty's Restaurant, and the case continued
until 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 11
(by coincidence, the time of the
next regular Kiwanis meeting).
"Any other time and place
would be prejudicial to my best
interest," he insisted. "You can
impound an unbiased jury on
the spot. We may make you
identify the rabbit."
Until he received the summons, Beach said, he had planned to send the rabbit' to a
haven in the country but he
now intended to retain custody

Bradson Mfg. Co.,
Cuyahoga Steel
Assets Purchased
Purchase of the assets of two
firms, one local and one in Ohio,
was announced this week by
Hoover BaU and Bearing Co.
Both plants wiU operate as di-.
visions of Hoover, as soon as
their stockholders have approved the move.
The local addition to the
Hoover roster is Bradson Manufacturing Co., on Maple road,
Saline, which will go into production of plastic containers under the name "Plas-tainer Division of Hoover BaU and Bearing Co." The purchase of Bradson assets by Hoover has already received approval of the
boards of directors of both companies, a Hoover representative
said, but must stiU be ratified
by Bradson stockholders.
The Plas-tainer Division wUl
go into production of plastic
containers, on an automated
line which is expected to be in
operation in plot form by the
first of August, in an addition
constructed at the Bradson
plant this year. The containers,
of a material described as
"high-density linear polyethel-
ene" are already being made in
production quantities for Roman Cleanser and Sno-Bowl —
the white, unbreakable containers that began appearing on re-
taU shelves several months ago.
At a meeting Friday the directors of the Cuyahoga Steel
and Wire Company, Maple
Heights, O., accepted a cash offer made by Hoover to acquire
the assets and business of Cuyahoga. The acceptance by the
directors is subject to ratification and approval of Cuyahoga
shareholders. A special meeting wUl be held for that purpose July 6.

drawn steel wire, bars and
shapes. It has an annual sales
volume of approximately
$4,500,000 and employs 75 people at its miU located in the-
Cleveland suburb. In the announcement CUfford H. Simmons, Hoover board chairman,
stated that no changes are contemplated in the management
of the business which wUl operate as a Division of Hoover.
A program of expansion to add
new products and increase capacity by approximately 65%
is to be undertaken immediately.

SEVEN SCARECROWS in the Chris Volz strawlierry
patch are the No. 1 conversation-piece in Saline Heights
these days.. Chris and his wife pose proudly between a
couple of their, creations. "They're doing the job," says
Mrs. Volz. "Last year the birds about ate us up. This year
they haven't bothered us a bit."
We're not sure where the Volzes got aH the clothing
for their scarecrows, but we can't help wondering what
might have happened to Chris if there had been eight
instead of seven. Looks like he might have heen forced to
do his sfaawberiy-piekihg in a barrel. '','■*■
