Centaur Flawless CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

(UPI) An Atlas Centaur rocket that failed last Feb. 20 performed flawlessly to boost an Intelsat IV commercial communications satellite into space orbit late Thursday. Space scientists reported early today the mission looks like a winner. The spacecraft was flying in a preliminary, elliptical orbit ranging from 334 to 22,300 miles above earth. Sometime Saturday, a ground station will command firing of a rocket motor aboard the satellite which should "park" it.

in a stationary orbit 22,300 miles above the Indian Ocean.

(Inquirer Photo) Memorial Day Preparation Is Arduous For Cemetery Workers By SHIRLEY RUNNING Inquirer Staff Writer Memorial Day may mean parades, speakers and a day off to many but to Dwight Moritz, caretaker at Fairview Cemetery, it means just plain work. In preparation for the annual activities at the cemetery, Mortiz and his crew, for the past two weeks have worked 10 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, to make sure the grounds will be in shape by Monday. White marker rocks placed around the grounds are repainted white, flower areas are tilled in preparation for planting and grass is cut. Ron Myers, secretary of the Fairview Cemetery Association, said although grass cutting began later than usual this year it has grown so fast the regular crews cannot keep up with it. A youth group from an area church, anxious to earn money for a project, has been pitching in to help Moritz and his men prepare the cemetery for Monday, In the springtime Moritz usually has as many as 15 persons helping.

This levels off during the summer to six with high school students helping out. Moritz, who said he likes working outdoors, has been caretaker at the cemetery for 25 Galionite On Drawing List Galion physician Dr. Charles E. Skinner is eligible to win the next Millionaire Drawing sponsored by the Ohio Lottery Commission. "I'm happy," was.

Dr. Skinner's response when called by the Inquirer today. He said several friends called him last night and told him about being chosen as a finalist. If Dr. Skinner should be lucky enough to win, he would receive $50,000 a year for 20 years.

Asked if he has made any plans for the money, Dr. Skinner said, "I haven't got it yet." He added that he has "a couple of kids in college and another one coming along." He said he would like to do more traveling also. Dr. Skinner was among 12 more persons whose, names were added today to the years. With an average 120 burials a year this means he has helped with approximately 3,000.

He is responsible for opening and closing graves and seeding and then mowing and maintenance. He also assists in maintaining stone markers. Some of the older foundations cause the stones to tip and he attempts to keep them straight. Myers said there are problems with a tree blight on the maple trees. He added most of this was taken care of last year which provides crews with extra work.

The association is attempting to replace the trees and plans on some ornamental and hardier trees. After the holiday, crews will be laying out a new section just north of the present cemetery which will provide 500 to 1,000 additional grave sites, The youth group helping at the cemetery includes girls who are trimming and small children who are pulling grass and hauling gasoline while mothers are delivering jugs of water to: the thirsty workers. Pedestrian, 6, Hurt In Crash A -old boy sustained a satisfactory condition with fractured jaw and other injuries when he ran into the side of a moving truck Thursday afternoon. Ralph S. Price, 6, son of Mr.

and Mrs. George Morrison, 467 Fifth was listed in fairly good condition at Galion Community Hospital today with a fractured left jaw and multiple contusions and abrasions.

Mayor Murral Longstreth said if a registered letter to the check writer is returned, "Take a witness with you to prove you contacted them about the bad check." The problem of people moving out of state was discussed and it was suggested the credit bureau be notified and a "red flag" could be put on the persons file and a possible address obtained when they applied for credit elsewhere.

The film on stolen credit cards depicted a "smooth" operator who could spot the insecure clerk who might possibly not make the necessary checks to insure the credit card is authentic. It showed how the thief has identification to match the credit card and how in some, cases he rattled an already harrassed clerk in order to get to another customer and neglected to have proper checks made on the credit card. Miss Swick said persons losing or: having their credit cards stolen should report them immediately. Also on the panel were Dave Spaulding, adult distributive of the education teacher at Madison Telecommunica- High School, and Ralph. Swick contusions and a scalp laceration.
