FRAZIER REAAIS FOR ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF OHIO

The problem of crime is the
major problem with which the
American people are confronted,
The truth Of this statement is i'll
creasingly apparent, notwitjhstand-
ing the deserved attention which
the economic and political situation
is receiving. Furthermore, the
welfare of this and every other
community and state is most inti-
mately associated with the efficient
functioning of our legal system.
In a few places in the United
States definite and substantial prog
ress has been made in bettering the
situation III respect to crime and in
the efficacy of all law enforcement.
We in Toledo have the earned right
to boast that Lucas county has
shown the way to the whole state of
Ohio.
The reason that this extraordi-
nary record in law enforcement is 4
fact and not merely a dream and a
hope is due, in the very largest
measure, to the indefatigable indus
try, the high courage, the remark
able resourcefulness of one man
Frazier Reams, the prosecuting at
torney of Lucas county.
Mr.. Reams is now serving his
second term, with the same devo-
tion to duty that characterized his
first term. Were he to agree to be
a candidate for third time, it goes
without saying that he would have
no formidable opposition. Lucas
county has risen far above partisan
ship in it's loyal support of Frazier
ReamS.
But the state of Ohio has need OF
this man in realm of wider SER
vice. And he has richly earned the
right of promotion. 1t has been
said that he will be candidate for
attorney general of Ohio, but he
has made no definite announcement
If he sees fit to make such an an
nouncement, The Blade believes
that there will be instant response
and support. not only from Lucas
COuHtyy UuI llOln CtCly SouhtJ III
this state. The fact Mr.. Reams is
a Democrat should make no differ
ence to newspapers that are usually
! Republican in state and national
politics. The announcement of his
candidacy, resting on the firm foun-
dation of an amazing record in the
public service, will be definite call
to good citizenship in every town
ship, village, city and county in
Ohio.
Frazier Reams, if he will become
candidate, will be the next attor-
ney general, and he will bring to
that high office the same courage,
the same sacr;ficial devotion to duty
that he has brought to the public
trust which he now holds.-Toledo

Iindbergh Forced To Leave

! It is a sad commentary on the
state of law and order in this coun-
| try that Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh
should feel forced to move, even
| temporarily, to England in order
that their one remaining son should
have the opportunity to enjoy a
| normal young life without the
threat of KIDNAPPING or molestation
lowering in the offing. But such is
tions shrouded in the greatest Sc
crecy the little family is now en-
route to surroundings where gang
sters and their ilk are unknown.
The colonel is said to have explain
ed he chose England, for in that
law-abiding country his family
would feel safest.
Recent threats of harm to his
son Jon; revival of public interest
in the Bruno Hauptmann case, con-
victed kidnaper of his son Charles,
jr., have, according to friends of the
colonel, been some of the reasons
causing his action. However, all Of
the stories emanating from New
Jersey that new evidence favorable
to Hauptmann has been unearthed
publicity, and even the threats
against his son would not have
caused the colonel to flee his coun-
try, had it not been for the action
of Governor Hoffman of New Jer-
sey in visiting the condemned man
in his cell, and the obvious lack OF
confidence he showed in the justice
of his conviction. Lindbergh is re-
ported to have said he could have
combated all these forces, but not
the governor of New Jersey.
Hauptmann has had the benefit
of every safeguard in the American
judicial system. Even the supreme
court of the United States has ap-
proved the procedure of the ini-
tial trial. Maudlin sentiment on
the part of many people, and un-
warranted action on the part of
the governor of Lindbergh's own
state where the crime was commit
ted may be properly blamed for the
necessity of one of our own citizens
fleeing the country to seek the shell
ter of another nation for the safety
of his family and its peace of mind.
Whatever political capital Gov
ernor Hoffman may have thought
to make of his meddling in this
matter, returns as boomerang,
as the public will be quick to sense
the effect of his action Not alone
does this obtain as far as the Lind
berghs' flight is concerned, but in
the downright encouragement it
has given to those who might be
constrained to commit acts similar
to the kidnapping and murder of the
Lindbergh baby.
These are the most deplorable eff
fects of the governors action, but
there is another, and one of great
Importance to the citizens of this
country What must be the opin-
ion Of the people of other nations
as they contemplate the inability OF

suit Of life, liberty and happiness

FARM NOTES

With butchering time definitely
here, suggestions for curing pork
are in order on most farms; and
these suggestions have been made
available by l.. E. Kunkle of the
meats division at the Ohio State
University "Most folks prefer the
sugar cure to the plain salt cure"
says Kunkle in explaining that the
sugar cure may be applied by either
the dry or the brine method. A
good sugar-cure mixture he recon-
mends is composed of eight pounds
of salt, two pounds of sugar, and
two ounces of saltpeter. This mix
ture might also be dissolved in four
and half to six gallons of water
and used as brine cure. Five
pounds of salt is generally suffi-
cient to cure 100 pounds of pork,
if all of the salt is absorbed, ac-
cording to the meats specialist
Sometimes, in dry curing, it is
advisable to use up to eight pounds
of salt for each 100 pounds Of meat.
to allow for what salt falls Off and
is lost" he adds. In dry curing,
he points out, it is desirable to ap-
ply part of the mixture, rubbing on
the remainder the third to the
tenth day following. The time re-
quired for curing is governed by the
size of the pieces and the strength
of the cure. Two days for each
pound in the piece is the standard
curing time. The brine method,
which requires repacking usually
needs more time, three days for
each pound in the piece being the
ordinary brine-curing time, accord
ing to Kunkle. After curing, the
final process of smoking, prefera-
bly, with green hickory Or apple
wood, completes the process and the
meat is ready for storage. Since
the flavor and palatability of smok-
ed-salt-cured pork are comparable
to the results obtained from ordi-
nary curing and smoking, many
folks prefer the snort cure Of US
ing smoked salt, eliminating for
the additional cost the job of smok-
ing their meat. kunkle's one word
OF caution about smoked salt is that
you buy smoked salt that has been
prepared by being exposed to real
smoke, in preference to q smoked
salt that has been allowed to take
up an acid liquid smoke.
