A. Harrisberger, formerly of Ponca City and is married to the former Florence Peppard of Tonkawa.Harrisberger, a former NOJC student, is now on a fellowship grant studying for his doctorate at Purdue university. Last Easter he was one of 40 international scientists chosen to attend a scientific conference at Vale university to study world-wide scientific problems.“Mechanization of Motion” is hailed by technical engineers and professors of advanced studios as a fresh approach to the study of kinematics. It gives the trained engineer or scientist a new avenue of thought in the process and procedure of synthesis of mechanisms. While the average person would not understand the technicalities set forth in the book, his well-being will probably be affected by the greater efficiency gained by industries from its study.Mr. and Mrs. Harrisberger and their three children reside in New Lafayette, Ind.Mrs. Harrisberger was reared in Tonkawa by her uncle and aunt, the late Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Jones.Jim Mihura Wins First Place In Horseshoe TourneyJim Mihura took top honors in the community horseshoe tournament held Thursday and Friday at the Little Park.Winners were determined by the total number of points they scored after pitching 50 horseshoes.
