FOOTBALL TEAM
RESUMES DRILL;
GAME ON OCT. |
Revamped Redskins To Play
Gibsonburg There Next
Friday Night

With the polio ban on football
practice and games in this county
officially lifted as of Wednesday
afternoon by the health depart
ment, grid squads of Port Clin-
ton, Lakeside, Oak Harbor and Ge-
noa high school swung back into
action Thursday, attempting to
salvage what's left of the season.
While no games are to be play
ed this weekend due to schedule
cancellations and lack of practice,
it is expected that all county
teams will open play the following
weekend. Port Clinton will def
nitely play Gibsonburg at Gibson
burg on Friday night, Oct. /, it
was said yesterday.
There was great jubilation in
the local school Wednesday after
noon when it was announced over
the public address system that the
football ban had been lifted. Coach
Norman Willbond had his squad
report after school to get their
uniforms again, most of the equip
ment having been called in for
cleaning. Each player was given
slip upon which to secure an
"okay" from his parents to re-
sumo practice.
Coach Willbond said that prac-
tice would be resumed after school
today Thursday with the squad
scheduled to drill on plays involv-
ing light body contact. Loss of
four members of the team includ-
ing a couple of key men, due to
polio. means that Coach Willbond
will have to reorganize most of the
formations upon which the squad
drilled before the ban. This means
that most of the time before the
opening game will have to be spent
on learning new plays and assign
ments, rather than in scrimmage,
he said.
Poe Issues Statement
In lifting the football ban We'd
nesday afternoon, DR.. George A.
Poe, health commissioner, issued
the following statement: "The ban
on football practice and games is
hereby lifted as of this date, and
it will be the responsibility of
each school in the county to have
its athletes checked in cases of
suspected illness"

Three -MASTED bARkENTINE IS
GIVEN TO LOCAL SEA SCOUT UNIT

Getting what might be called the
break of a lifetime, the Port Clin-
ton Sea Scouts are being given
beautiful three-masted Barkentine
which is scheduled to arrive in the
local harbor under full sail this
Saturday afternoon, weather per-
mitting.
The craft is a gift from E. F.
Knight, of Perrysburg, promi-
nent Toledo business man. Mr..
Knight recently wrote local Scout
leaders, stating that he proposed
to give the ship to some interested
Sea Scout unit, since he was I'M
able to use the boat sufficiently to
warrant keeping it in commission.
AL Jones, vice chairman of the Ot-
tawa County Boy Scouts, contacted
Mr.. Knight at Perrysburg last
Saturday and gratefully accepted
the boat in the name of the Boy
Scouts.
The Barkentine is 26-ft. overall
and powered with a nine h.p. out
board engine. The boat is said to
be quite seaworthy for use on the
lakes.
The gift promises to be great
boon to interest in Sea Scouting
here, as the scouts old converted
life-saving boat has "seen better
days"
Plans are being made this week
for a welcome and reception to
honor the donor when the ship ar
rives here Saturday.

U. S. Army Officer Approves
Perry For Anti-Aircraft
Training Ground

Possibility that Camp Perry may
be used next summer as a training
ground for the national guard
anti-aircraft units in this army
district was increased late last
week when an army officer in
spected the camp and voiced his
approval.
The officer is reported to have
stated that Perry offers many ad-
vantages over the camp in Virginia
used for the last summers train
ing program. Firing could be done
here over Lake Erie in the same
restricted zone as used by Erie
Ordnance Depot.
AS Ohio alone has II anti-air-
craft units, it is seen that inclusion
of the entire army district would
mean a sizeable training program

OPS REQUESTS
1919 BOOST IN
ELECTRIC RATES
Proposed Schedules Ready For
Council Presentation
Tuesday Night

Doubled costs for many materi-
ais and services needed to furnish
electricity have forced the Ohio
Public Service Company to ask
for a 10 per cent increase in cleo
trio rates for residential and COM
mercial service, H. A. Cowgirl,
vice president and division manager
of Port Clinton, said today.
Proposed new rates are to be
ready for presentation to village
council at its regular meeting next
Tuesday night.
Commenting on the request Of
his company for rate increase,
Cowgirl pointed to the fact that the
line had been held on electric rates
up to the present in spite of a
ten-year period of rising prices and
that the company had done every
thing possible to hold costs down
He compared the 10 per cent
increase requested by the company
with the increase in the cost of liv-
ing which according to U. S. De-
partment of Labor statistics has
risen more than 70 per cent based
on the 1935-1939 averages.
Specific items which were named
as forcing the request for an cleo
trio rate increase were coal which
has more than doubled in price
since 1888, materials most OF
which have more than doubled
taxes which have quadrupled ano
total payroll costs now the high
est in the company's history.
The application for an electric
rate increase broke the company'S
record of rate reductions covering
period of some twenty-sever
years, This is the first time II
the Ohio Public Service company
history that a rate increase has
been requested.
! Ever since the Ohio Public Serv
ice company started to serve Por
Clinton, Cowgirl said, it has fol
| lowed a policy of expenditures fo1
| improvements and of making rat
reductions whenever possible. Fur
ther improvements will depen'
upon rate increases, he asserted
as the cOmpany's credit must b.
maintained if the necessary capita
is to be raised to finance neede'
improvements and additions.
