Saturday, October 4, 1975 Mattoon Journal Gazette-4 Two seized in flag thefts The Dilemma Department ment by an unidentified county charged with criminal damage to7 property for allegedly burning four flags, Johnson said. He said Deak allegedly burned the flags to hide the evidence after becoming fearful that he may be caught. Johnson said one flag was recovered from Hopkins and two flagpoles were recovered from Deak. In addition, three flags were turned in to the police depart The flags are a project of the Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce arid are scheduled to be flown about 15 times annually. Johnson said his department's investigation into the thefts is continuing.

He credited Charleston police officer Wayne Campbell with the investigation which led to the arrest of the two men Friday. resident who said he found them in i paper bag along a rural road. Johnson said he Would like to talk to the man to determine exactly where the flags were found, and asked that the man contact him. Friday's activity brought the dumber of flags accounted for to nine. Earlier, one was discovered in the room of an Hour House resident who said ft fecrr.

was told that since ibe didn't have a phone she couldn't get the service. Is 'that true? It doesn't seem right if it is correct. Cable TV officials told us your sister-in-law already has Cable TV service in fact they told us her service began the day you claimed she was denied the cable. So apparently she either misrepresented the facts to you or you misrepresented them to us. But in any case, she did not have to have telephpne service in order to get Cable TV service.

Denny Burrell, manager of Central Communications, told us the company waives a deposit if people can show some kind of good credit record in most cases telephone If you can't come up with a good credit rating, he said, you can still get Cable TV service by paying a $25 deposit. The company refunds the money within a year after they've determined you will pay your bills and gives you 7 per cent interest on the deposit. If your sister-in-law was told that day she could not have service, Burrell said, she was misinformed. Currently Cable TV here in Mattoon has several customers who do not have telephone service, Burrell said. I signed up to take the Civil Service test in Charleston during September but I never received any information from the agency about the testing date.

I sent the application in by the August deadline so I can't understand why I didn't get to take the test. My roommate had the same problem. Can you check into it for us? Apparently your applications didn't get to the Chicago office in time. Although you had them postmarked in town by the deadline, Civil Service officials in Chigao told us the applications had to be marked as received by the agency on that date definitely a contradiction from what was printed on your application form. But since September is already passed, you'll have to take the test about the third Saturday in November officials told us there isn't one in October.

You should be getting the authorization form to grant you admission to the test sometime before that date, they said. I have been trying for a long time to find Franklin's Rubber Gloss Cleaner for Floors. It's the best thing I've ever found for cleaning surfaces but I just can't seem to get it around here anymore. Could you please find a place in Champaign or some other nearby town that carries it. I'd be glad to travel that far to get my floors that clean again.

You'll have the cleanest floors in town any day now. We couldn't find a distributor in Champaign so we did better than that. We got one here in Mattoon. In searching for the floor cleaner for you we contacted Frosty Hill at Construction Materials and found that he has been looking for a way to get the product for a number of years, too. We eventually got the right telephone number for Franklin Research Co.

in Philadelphia and found out the company is a subsidiary of the Purex Co. in Chicago. So we called Purex about area distributors. It turns out the closest distributor is in Macon, 111. Hill told us the Macon distributor had contacted him and agreed to supply the company with as much floor cleaner as they could take.

So, once Construction Materials gets it in and that should be within the next few weeks you can buy the cleaner here in Mattoon. The smallest can of the cleaner now available is the one-gallon size. So you'll have to buy that size. If you don't have enough floor space to use the can up we'd be more than happy to let you demonstrate Franklin's effectiveness on our kitchen floor our floor looks like the battle ground of a Julia Child-Graham Kerr bake-off. My sister-in-law tried to get cable TV service last month here in Mattoon but I he found it in a downtown alley.

That man also said there were shreds of another flag or flags in the alley when he found the one he kept. A total of 25 flags were reported stolen Saturday night. They were part of a 200-flag display which had been mounted on utility poles along Lincoln, Sixth and Seventh streets for Parents' Weekend at EIU. nil the White House and Congress and shows "misplaced priorities."

This is again the highest "monthly unemployment rate recorded in the state since Illinois began keeping unemployment statistics after World War II, the department said. "It represents a total of 495,800 unemployed workers statewide," said Donald A. Johnson, department director. Johnson said part of the seasonally adjusted figure was caused by previously laid-off workers not being recalled and not finding work elsewhere.

He said there usually is a moderate drop in the number of unemployed in September because of a large number of students who withdraw from the labor force and return to school. Unemployment in the six-county Chicago area increased .7 per cent from 9.5 per cent in August to 10.2 per cent or a record 327,000 persons out of work. No major improvement was reported in other large labor market areas outside of Chicago. Unemployment increased .9 per cent in both Decatur and Rockford, raising the Decatur figure to 11.7 per cent and Rockford to 11.6 per cent. The remaining areas conformed to typical seasonal patterns and registered modest decreases.

Bloomington-No-rmal decreased from 4.9 to 3.9 per cent; Peoria moved from 5 to 4.7 per cent; Cham-paignUrbana 4.5 to 4.4 per cent, Quad Cities 6.8 to 6.7 per cent and the Illinois section of St. Ix)uis area 10.8 to 10.7 per cent.
