...Samuel) Marvin Griffin. Last week a state senate investigating committee complained that Bainbridge's home-town boy has been doing too much in trying to overcome nature's oversights. The Griffin administration has spent half a million dollars for a 400-ft. pier, a transit shed and sulphur unloading facilities. And along with brother Cheney Griffin (Bainbridge's mayor and Marv's paid state assistant) and six other Griffin administration officials, the governor is a stockholder in Caribe Transport Line, Inc., a company that will this spring take advantage of the facilities, put its one Honduran...

All day long Masses were being said, and assisting the local priests was Antonietta's husband Angelo. While the church...
...Cure. Near O'ney, Ill., irritated by wasps that buzzed around the barn, Farm Hand Harold Weber decided to smoke them out, burned more than 5,000 bales of hay, 2,000 bushels of barley, 200 loads of manure, a utility shed, a garage, three drums of gasoline and the barn...
