ESQ WORKERS AS
WORK STEPS UP
Employment Increases To
1850 AS Preparedness
Program Gets Underway

Urgent need for $50 workers
at the Erie Ordnance Depot
was announced this week by
Colonel j. e. McInerney, COM
manding officer. This is the first
move in an anticipated expansion
of work schedules at the local de-
pot which are to be stepped up
to meet requirements of the ma
tional preparedness program now
underway.
This latest employment auth
orization boosts the total work
ers at EOD ito approximately
1850, the highest ceiling since
the early part of 1916.
In January, 1943, 1000 civilians
were employed at the local army
reservation but that peak declined
steadily during the war years
! when prisoners of war and Ital-
ian service units were brought
in to alleviate the labor shortage.
For the most part, present de-
pot positions are open to male
applicants. However, it .s ex-
pected that approximately 10
percent of the increase in person
mel will be women employees,
with more jobs opening for wom-
en- as manpower in the area is
diminished by the needs of selec-
tive service.
Positions are open Immediate
ly for artillery engineers, clerks
and clerk-typists. Wages for
these jobs vary from 90 cents to
$l.25 per hour for hourly paid
employees, depending on the
amount of experience and train
ing shown by applicants.
Electrical engineers will be
paid annual salaries, ranging
from $2974 to $4479, depending
on amount of education and ex-
perience. Beginning salaries for
clerks and clerk-typists, also
paid on an annual basis, will be
$2498.
Persons interested in obtain
ing federal employment at Erie
Ordnance Depot may make appli-
cation in person or by mail at
the Employment office in the
headquarters building at the post.
Application blanks may be OBJ
tanned at any U. S. postoffice or
at the personnel office at EOD.
Majority of the new employees
will be used on the depot's cur
rent modification program on the
120 nm antiaircraft gun, the
Army's most powerful weapon
against attack by air.

SUICIDE N0TEIS
FOUND In AUTO
Officials Drag Lake i'm Futile
Attempts to Solve
Weekend Mystery

Belief that a suicide note found
in an abandoned car near the Bell
Fish company was a fake was ex-
pressed this week by local Off
cials. They contend that if The
would-be suicide had drowned
himself in Lake Erie Saturday
night, his body would have float
ed long before this and would
have been discovered.
Discovery of the supposed sui
eide was made Sunday by
group of tourists. The women
had noticed a car parked along
the lakefront when they drove to
Toledo Saturday, and seeing it
still parked in the same place on
Sunday, they investigated and
notified Sheriff Ralph Riedmaier.
A suit of clothes and a suicide
note were discovered in the
abandoned car. The clothing and
auto We're identified as belonging
to Jake Warkentin, %, Columbus
Grove, Ohio.
"Good-by, Jene and Kids. I'm
sorry | had to disgrace my FAM
lily and yours, the note read. 1t
was written with red pencil on a
letter of Warkentin and Bros,
and was unsigned.
Dragging operations were
started in the lake soon after the
car and note We're discovered.
Sheriff Riedmaier and his depu-
ties have searched the area daily,
but without success.
Members of the Warkentin
family in Columbus Grove told
Sheriff Arnold Potts of Putnam
county that Jake Warkentin had
left home Saturday noon for Lima
on business trip.
Warkentin had been contrac-
tor for farm buildings, roofing
and siding since his discharge
/ from military service. 1t was re-
ported that he had been in finan-
cial difficulties recently.
Several bills, including the gro.
cery bill, were paid by Warkentir
Saturday and he left 500 with
his wife to buy more groceries,
the Putnam county sheriff said.
The missing man is the father
of two children, aged 18 months
and three years.

RE MEDlES FOR
TRAFFIC JAMS
State Park Visitors Add More
Cars To COngested COndi-
tiOnS In This Area

Possible remedies for highway
and lake traffic problems were
discussed Thursday night at the
regular meeting of the Port Clin-
ton Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber members have asked
the state highway department to
make new traffic survey at the
intersection of routes 2 and 163
on a weekend. They are recon-
mending that the state take early
steps to improve the traffic reg
ulation and control at that point
which is jammed with weekend
vacationers and tourists visiting
the new state park.
The chamber also recommended
that the city concentrate on some
kind of improved traffic regula-
tion at that dangerous corner just
north of the new state park.
Boat owners who come into this
port at night are confused with
the number of Illuminated signs
and red lights along the shore
that make it difficult to identify
the lighthouse light,
1t has been recommended that
the north side of the waterworks
stack be illuminated to serve as
marker. Kenny Black and Al
Emmett were appointed to take
steps with the waterworks off
cials to see if this can be accom-
plished.
Thursday evening the stack
was illuminated for the first time
with a trial light. Wilbur Gill
and Carlton Schwan took Chamber
members for lake rides and they
reported that the stack was Wis
ible for miles out. There is to
be a permanent lighting arrange
ment installed there at an early
date.
1t was voted that the Chamber
turn over it's full pledge of 81 900
to the city for it's share in the
lakefront improvement. Inas-
much as the work is progressing
quite satisfactorily, it was recon-
! lnended that this amount be
! turned over to the contractor at
once. 1t was the Chambers
recommendation that he be paid
at least one-half his contract
price at this time even though
he at no time has requested such
action.

TWO SUSPECTED
POLIO VICTIMS
ARE I'M ROWING
Mary Ann KreutZfeld and
George Dellinger Are Re-
moved To Hospital

Although three Port Clinton res
idents are receiving treatment at
the Maumee Valley hospital, only
one patient, Miss Shirley Quintet,
13, has been diagnosed as posi-
tive victim of infantile paralysis.

hospital late Friday afternoon
when he developed suspicious SYM
toms. He had complained of stiff
ness in his legs and arms.
Dellinger's condition had not
been officially diagnosed as posi-
tive polio by late Wednesday and
there still is doubt that he is a
positive victim. Mrs. Dellinger
stated that her husband has i'm
proved rapidly and doctors do not
expect him to suffer any after eff
fects.
Third local polio suspect is Miss
Mary Ann Kreutzfeld, ID, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Kreutz-
field, 325 jefferson street. Mary
Ann became ill Sunday, complain
ing of a stiff neck and high fever,
and was taken to Maumee Valley
hospital Tuesday for observation.
Shirley Quintet and Mr.. Delling-
er live within a block of each other
in Fremont road, but that coinci-
dence has no bearing on polio,
officials believe. Shirley's condi-
tion is reported as improving. Miss
Kreutzfeld will be a freshman
student next fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kreutzfeld, afte,
a trip to the hospital Wednesday
telephoned that doctors there hac
assured them that Mary Ann is
not a polio victim, bu<s shasrs she is
being treated as a precautionary
measure.
