sportsmcn's groups, for the pur-
pose of presenting information to
federal officials sponsoring the
forum.
DR.. Clarence Mottam, Assistant
Director of the Fish and Wildlife
Service in Washington, directed
the meeting explaining in detail
the current migratory waterfowl
situation based on extensive study
over the past several years. He
indicated that unless present sur

LEGION NOTES
BY ARCHIE KING

Members of the executive COM
mittee of the Port Clinton post
held an important meeting last
Thursday. The following prob
lens were presented Definite ac-
ton on the purchase of Erie Gard
ems, distribution of keys to the Le-
gion home to post members, week
ly entertainments in the Legion
hall. ALL of these topics will be
presented to the membership body
at the next meeting At the
last meeting of the County Coun-
Gil Leroy Shirley of Marblehead
was elected alternate chaplain to
serve in the absence of Richard
Ames. The Marblehead Legion
naires are' beginning to make
themselves known in the county.
Urban Schmidt has served as ad-
jutant of the Marblehead post for
twenty-three years. Can anyone
in the county beat that record?
The Lakeside Marblehead Railroad
has only seven miles of main line
track yet it is the richest railway
for miles of track than any other
road in this county. Their en-
ployees are on the same wage scale
as those who serve on the major
railways Of the nation . Have
you completed planning your pro-
gram for Memorial Day? Every
grave should be decorated. If you
place potted plants or vases of
flowers on family graves watch
them closely. Soon after Easter
vandals stole choice potted plants
from graves in Lakeview ceme-
terry. We wonder if the thief will

Tamm of Sandusky is a man we
admire. He is a veteran of our
war with Spain, and served in Cuba
for a year. He has never drawn
one cent of pension or compensa-
ton and never asked for any. He
works every day and merely asks
that he be allowed to continue
working and enjoy good health
Have you ever visited the Coast
Gnardsmen at Marblehead Their

ors. Chief Oles has more than
twenty years active duty to his
credit and served overseas as a full

The next meeting of the Coun-
ty Council will be held at Putin
Bay May "a. Plan now to attend
and notify your post commander
as boat reservations must be made
in advance The Port Clinton
Yacht club may soon have a wealth
err reporting station. With the
Comet races and other important
events scheduled for the summer
this is almost a must for the yacht
club. This idea is being pushed
by Legionnaires who are also inter-
ested in sailing. See George

vember hit a new all time high
but truck sales hit a decided

cars changed ownership and only
six used trucks.

ceived $4,000 and the bureau of
motor vehicles, $4,000.

Predicts Ohio
Soon TO F orce
Sewage Plants
Bill Would Affect
Caldwell, Which Has
No Disposal Plant

Legislation compelling all Ohio
municipalities to treat their
sewage, including Caldwell,
probably will be passed at the
coming session of the Ohio legis-
lature, Fred H. Waring, chief en-
gineer of the division of SANTA
ton of the Ohio department of
health, told the 15-judge Maumee
valley conservancy court, when
they met in session, Tuesday.
This would affect the entire
state, as well as Caldwell and
Noble county, where the disposal
of sewage has always and is still
a problem.
Mr.. Waring said that the state
is obligated in compelling cities
to treat their sewage under the
terms of a previous act authoriz-
ing the Ohio government to sign
an eight-state Ohio river anti-pol-
luton compact. This compact
now is in effect, but as yet this
state has no law making manda-
tory compliance.
The bill to be introduced in
Ohio also will outlaw dumping of
raw industrial waste in streams,
he said. .>-~
State Health Director DR.. John
D. Porterfield denied that there
is positive evidence of polio being
carried from raw sewage to infect
a patient. He believed the most
common method of contamina-
ton to be through the body-es-
pecially the hands. He said, how
ever, that certain types of flies
and mosquitoes are known to
have the virus.
