The employees would have 10 days from Monday in which to appeal the suspensions to the State Civil Service commission O'Neill said he was considering an appeal. O'Neill, veteran of 20 years with the department, said his letter of suspension said the ac tion was taken because he had accepted money from a contrac tor on a state project. He denied this. Two Not Available - Neither Ferguson nor Garrow could be reached for comment. Marion County District At torney Kenneth E. Brown, said a conference will be held with the other county prosecutors in volved "in a few days" to de termine if criminal action is war ranted. Baldock said any further in formation concerning the matter would have to come from the district attorneys. With a front wheel in the fur row the Ford Tractor almost steers itself. At headlands, just nudge Ford's Hydraulic Touch Control lever to lift the plow out of the ground. You adjust plowing depth on the go with the same lever. On tough plowing jobs you'll appreciate Ford's new Tailored Traction. As always on a Ford, traction increases automatically on heavy pulls. And now, new easy-on, easy-off wheel weights are available to give you still more traction. A phone call to us will bring a new 800 Ford Tractor and Economy Plow out to your farm for a demonstration.
