EMERY MACk0 NAMED REDSK|N
CAPTAIN AT COACHES BANQUET

Port Clinton Downtown Coach
es' sixth annual banquet, held in
the E. U. B. church Wednesday
evening, got off with bang
when DTC President DeForrest
"Shine" Maxwell touched a light
ed cigarette to the big balloon
Toastmaster D. D. Sims used to
win the balloon-blowing contest
from the odds-on favorite Judge
William Hunt.
With everything clicking to per-
fection and the capacity crowd in
a jovial mood, it was evident that
General Chairman Gene Bolte and
President Maxwell had come thru
with the most successful of the
always fine banquets.
The fact that they had gone to
honor the Sandusky Bay league
championship Redskins didn't keep
the sportsmen from having
grand time themselves. Business
cares were forgotten as the men
used their place favor caps and
noisemakers to good advantage.
After everyone was seated, Max
we'll arose and rang the cowbell
he needed to gain attention. When
he shouted "Hey, Ma, Is the Food
Ready" one of the E. U. B.
ladies shouted back, "Sure is, Pa"
and the hard-working women who
had served the Kiwanis luncheon
earlier in the day proceeded to
stuff the "banqueteers" with tur-
key, dressing and all the trim
mings. There were seconds for
everyone-Judge Hunt and Cy
Connors, Fremont, even taking
thirds!
During the dinner, accordionist
Joe Smith entertained with musi-
cal selections.
Mrs. A. J. Davids and Sonny"
presented red roses in memory of
their son and brother, Redskin
Richard "Dick'' Davids, and these
flowers were in the lapels of the
speakers, officials and every grid
player.
Rev, L. D. Reynolds, church pas
tor, gave the invocation. Max
wells pleasant personality and
ready wit was perfect for the jo-
vial mood prevalent. Even when

Invitations to be guests were
sent to all handicapped children
in the county, Is years and under.
If, through a possible error in
mailing, some child was missed,
parents or friends are urged to
notify Gale Stevens, secretary of
the Ottawa County Board of
Health, Port Clinton, who will
make arrangements to remedy the
oversight.
Members of the two Rotary
clubs will use their cars to trans
port the children from their
homes to Oak Harbor and return.

there was no sarcasm but jovial
good fellowship.
Maxwell proved a capable spar

Sims and Hunt during the hi
larious balloon-blowing test. In
introducing the civic leaders. Max
we'll said "These two gentlemen
have a long-standing feud as to
who is the better speaker. Now
we'll find out who has the most

Sims pulled neat maneuver by
stretching his balloon as he blew
and he won in a "blowaway". De-
spite heroic effort, Judge Hunt
could not initiate his balloon, and
like most of the audience he felt
thai he hadn't been done right.
For winning the contest, Sims
was presented a red hunting cap
and a sport shirt. Judge Hunt hit
the jackpot by losing as he won
a necktie, case of coca-cola and
two dinners at the Island Hotel.

TO COMPLETE.
LAKEFRONT JOB
Over IL Acres Will Be Filled
BY Use of Present Funds,
CrOhen States

Over $3.50 has been expended
for the lakefront project thus far
with 5000 remaining in the fund
to beautify the area and produce
Port Clinton's proposed million
Dollar" beach.
William Crohen, waterworks
superintendent and Cattail Drive
chairman, made the interesting re-
port Tuesday night at council
meeting.
Crohen stated that when the pro-
ject was started, dirt was hauled
in at cost of IS cents per yard.
With the dredge cutting and bull
doing operation now used, the
cost has been reduced to only 25
cents per yard.
He said that nine acres have
been covered already and that
two more acres will be finished
before the fund is exhausted as
dredge cuts have been dug and
partially filled.
One cut, SO by 400 feet, has been
filled with rubbish and is to be
covered with dirt as soon as the
weather permits. Another area,
100 feet by 400 feet is to be
smoothed down, while another
dredge cut, 50x40O with an 80 foot
fill alongside is also to be COM
pleted this month.
When this work is finished, all
the marsh land between the river
and the dredge cut north of Wash
ington street will have been filled
in There is also an 80 foot area
of lake frontage running to Full
ton street which is graded and i'm
proved, and can be used for autos.
Crohen stated that $2400 toward
the project was given by the vii
lage council and the Board of Pub
lie Affairs in the initial effort to
provide an enlarged ball diamond
and model airplane flying field.
The "Bury the Cattaip' cam
paign and bingo party benefits
added $1,000 to the project. Pres
ent cost Of operating the bulldozer
and four trucks is about 5000
daily, Crohen stated.
Now that large portion of the
lakefront has been filled and can
be beautifed next spring, citizens
know that the "Million Dollar"
beach can become reality. Plans
are already underway to have fur
ther benefits and donation cam
paigns so that the project can be
completed.
