The officer reported the accident as probably due to “a stroke o r other ailment,” as the re was no obstruction on the roadway which would have caused th e accident. Ecker is undergoing tests a t the hospital where his condition was reported as “good” on Wednesday. He also suffered facial cuts. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MERCHANTS AND BUSINESSMEN Officials of th e Farmers National Bank notified th e Record- Express Wednesday a fte rnoon th a t a counterfeit check had been allegedly passed as a payroll check for Lancaster Malleable Castings Co. Indications a re th a t these checks probably were printed in quantity. The check, which gives th e ' appearance of a bona fide check of high quality printing, is printed in black ink on blue Hammer Mill safety paper. The check number appears in heavy blue le tte rs and is drawn on the Conestoga National Bank. A check w rite r had been used.

Forewarning Against Car Defacement 'Defacement of automobiles and private property on Hallowe’en or “mischief n ight” is varrdalism pure and simple, says Samuel T. Miliiken, service manager of Keystone Automobile Club. “The high cost of buying and maintaining a car nowadays rqakes it imperative th a t children be ta u g h t th a t acts of vandalism are not ‘fun’ in any sense of the word” , he declared. “ I t’s up to p a ren ts and police to see th a t the private property of others is not made a. ta rg e t for such hooliganism. And punitive action shoud be taken when such practices re sult in damage. “Motorists too long have been victims of destructive acts by children who think th a t such pranks are harmless. Painting and marking cat’s with chalk and soap is an odious practice. The finish on many expensive cars has been ruined. Broken bottles on the street have gashed tires. Broken door handles and stolen gas tank caps have caused motorists expense. “Parents and teachers should help to prevent such acts of vandalism this Hallowe'en. We suggest, also, th a t motorists who have such facilities available, put th e ir cars in garages on ‘mischief n ig h t’ and Hallowe’en in order to cut down the opportunities for destructive behavior.

Forewarning Against Car Defacement 'Defacement of automobiles and private property on Hallowe’en or “mischief n ight” is varrdalism pure and simple, says Samuel T. Miliiken, service manager of Keystone Automobile Club. “The high cost of buying and maintaining a car nowadays rqakes it imperative th a t children be ta u g h t th a t acts of vandalism are not ‘fun’ in any sense of the word” , he declared. “ I t’s up to p a ren ts and police to see th a t the private property of others is not made a. ta rg e t for such hooliganism. And punitive action shoud be taken when such practices re sult in damage. “Motorists too long have been victims of destructive acts by children who think th a t such pranks are harmless. Painting and marking cat’s with chalk and soap is an odious practice. The finish on many expensive cars has been ruined. Broken bottles on the street have gashed tires. Broken door handles and stolen gas tank caps have caused motorists expense. “Parents and teachers should help to prevent such acts of vandalism this Hallowe'en. We suggest, also, th a t motorists who have such facilities available, put th e ir cars in garages on ‘mischief n ig h t’ and Hallowe’en in order to cut down the opportunities for destructive behavior.
