Rev. Bakker To Leave
Lima For the East

Rev. Cornelius Nicholas Baker,
former pastor of the Market Street
Presbyterian church, plans to take
up permanent residence "in the
east, he reported recently.
The minister moved his family
from the Presbyterian manse after
the board of trustees of the church
had instituted civil action in the
municipal court to gain possession
of the premises.
The case was dismissed at plant
ifs cost in the court after Rev.
Baker and his family moved from
the manse, it was learned.
In announcing his decision to
leave Lima, Rev. Baker did not go
into detail about his plans for the
future. Il consider myself pastor
of the church until the two judica-
tory bodies-Synod Of Ohio and Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, USA-rule on my appeal,
he said
Baker first was removed from
the pastorate Feb. Is but the Ohio
Synod remanded the case for review

Draws Lucky Number
For Trip Home

The numbers were placed in a
hat; Cpl. Carl Smith dipped in and
got a lucky one that's going to
bring him back to Lima from Bou-
gainville for an extended leave.
Cpl. Smiths number was drawn
in rotation lottery. after more
than two years overseas, he said,
'it's wonderful to think of going
home again. l can hardly believe
it."
The corporal went to Bougainville
on Nov. II, soon after the fighting
started. "The first two weeks were
rough" he said. "The enemy
bombed at night and strafed in the
early morning. We had to eat
breakfast with our heads tilted back
to search the sky"
The first time he saw a japanese
bomber was over Guadalcanal the
night he arrived there, April 6,
1943. He said that he has seen
many of them since.

Find Bomb Remnants
After House Burns

Remnants of a crude incendiary
bomb were found in the ruins of a
frame house at the edge of Lima's
downtown section which was de-
stroyed by fire which followed two
explosions.
The vacant house was being re-
modelled to become a community cen
ter for Negroes. The group had
owned the building a year, but had
hunted futilely for another site after
neighbors filed protests with City
Council.
NJ. c. Lambright, caretaker for a
veterinarian whose offices were in
an adjoining building, received bis
tered feet when he re-entered the
veterinarian building in search of
his 16-year-old son, Joseph. Earlier
he had led his wife and daughter,
10, to safety.
Flames shot nearly 100 feet into
the air shortly after the explosions
and were fiaring through windows
into the veterinarians office when
Lambright led his family to safety.
Officials investigating the appar-
emily incendiary origin of the fire,
declined to make a statement.

Putnam Wheat Yields
Abnormal

Abnormal wheat yields have been
obtained by Putnam county farmers
this summer, it was learned from
County Agent l.. c. Holtkamp who
made a check of the various parts
of the county.
Yields range from 20 to 40 BUSH
els per acre thruout the county to
give the farmers one of the highest
average yields ever harvested in
Putnam county, the agent pointed
out.
While a few yields over 40 bush
els have been harvested, this is the
exception. The factor most import
ant in the wheat harvest this sum-
mer is the extremely low number of
fields in which the yield has fallen
below 20 bushels to the acre.
Oats yields will not be outstanding
this year because of the long dry
spell which damaged the crop. Corn
crops should be large of rains come

soybeans are uncertain.
Appropriate S11,OOO
For New Highway

A resolution providing that it will
pay S11, 900 toward the purchase of
right-of-way for a postwar high
way thru Putnam county has been
adopted by the board of county COM
missioners, the board announced at
Ottawa.
This action came after a recent
conference between the board, Off
cials of the state highway depart
ment and the four villages concerned
in the project. The four villages
will pay a total of $4,000 toward
the right-of-way purchases.
The state highway department has
been mapping plans either to joint
the federal highway authorities in
the construction of a regional, limit
ed access highway through Putnam
county after the war or to reroute
State Route 65.
In either event, the abandoned
right-of-way of the Cincinnati and
Lake Erie Traction Co. will be uti-
lized for the highway. The county
and villages are setting aside money
to buy this right-of-way inside the
municipalities of Ottawa, Leipsic,
Columbus Grove and Belmore while
the state is spending $4,000 to pur-
chase the abandoned property out
side the villages thru Putnam coun-
ty.
