the contractors are waiting for a

S2500 Fund For Pools is
Raised BY Series of Pro-
mOtional Events

That swimming pool and a
wading pool for the kids Of Port
Clinton are now assured in the
early future is the good word this
week from Mayor Carl Becker.
father" of the proposed project.
Thanks to all those persons who
purchased tickets on the swimming
pool fund, who gave their pennies
to the Cub Scouts, who patronized
the Merchants Association mid
mite extravaganza, as we'll as
thanks to those individuals and
organizations making direct con-
tributions, Mayor Becker now has
enough money to build the two
pools, approximately $4,000 being
in sight.
Work on the project is to be
started as soon as the weather
permits use of a bulldozer on the
site, Becker said, voicing hope that
the pools would be ready for dedi-
cation and operation on June 18th,
or sooner. The Ohio State Con-
struction company is to build the
pools, and can complete the work
in about 10 days after starting,
Cecil Harger has donated use
of his equipment for bulldozing the
site and for hauling the stone.
The two pools are to be con-
structed adjoining each other in
the northwest corner of Lakeview
rark, Mayor Becker reports. They
will be built somewhat above
ground level, with the surrounding
area terraced up to pool level.
Plans for the swimming pool
called for a 30x40 foot pool with
swimming depth of II to SO inch
es of water. Thanks to the larger
fund now available for construc-
ton, this size may be increased
to 3Ox60 feet, with 80 to 60 inches
of depth.
The wading pool for Che little
tots is to be 20x30 feet with four
to six inches of water depth. A
fountain in the center will provide
a spray thrill for the kiddies. The
wading pool is to be so located
that mothers may sit in the shade
while watching their children.
Mayor Becker pointed out five
reasons why Lakeview Park was
| selected as the site for the pools:
/ (l) 1t is step in the development
of our city park; (2) 1t is near the
first development of the lakefront;
60 The factor of accommodating
little tots and children alike with
out splitting up families; (4) There
is plenty of parking space; and (5)
Concentration of supervisory staff.
AS of Tuesday, Mayor Becker
said there is $3.50 in the bank
from the ticket fund and 5000 ex-
pected from the theatre receipts.
Promised contributions of at least
$3.50 are still outstanding, and
private contributions are still COM
ing in, and they're welcomed as
extra money can be used in beau
tifying the pool areas. Expenses
on the ticket sale and booth
amount 70 about 1886 and the show
expenses will amount to about 500
he said, giving assurance that
about $4,000 is now in sight.
When the fund collection is com
pleted, he intends to turn the fund
over to a special committee con
sisting of two members each from
Rotary, Kiwanis, C. of G.. and
Merchants Assn, acting together
: with Rev. Karl Brand and Rev
John Braun.

Free State Forestry

How many bankers would with
draw capital from an investment and
permit the interest which had accum-
ulated on that capital to remain I'M
used? Yet the Forest Banker" will
from time to time reduce his capital
by cutting it and at the same time
permit some of the accumulated
growth or interest to remain in the
woods in the form of unused tops or
high cut stumps. Generally speaking,
it is the practice to cut stumps as
low as practical; however, it is not
too hard to find operations where
merchantable material has been left
in the woods in the form of high
stumps. Six inches of length may not
amount to much where one tree is
cut, but where a large number of
trees are cut to the acre as is the
general case in mine prop operations,
this unused material may soon repre-
sent quite a loss to the operator. To
be sure, such cutting may necessitate
little extra work in some cases, but
we wonder if the increased work
would not be offset by the extra ma
terial produced?
In addition there is another item to
concerned will produce sprouts
stumps, especially where the trees
concerned will produce sprouts
which will form the basis for the
next crop of timber from the same
area. 1t has been found that high
sprouts, that is, sprouts which start
high up on the old stump are some
what weaker and more susceptible
to rot than sprouts from the same
stump which started at OF near the
ground level. Low sprouts are more
likely to establish their own root
system and heal out any rot which
causes decay Of the parent stump.
On the other hand, rot from the par
ent stump will in many cases get in
to the heartwood Of a high sprout
and result in a decayed butt which
will have to be left in the woods when
the tree is finally cut.
Therefore, a low stump may not
only mean additional returns now but
may also mean high quality material
in the next crop Of timber, an item
which is worth consideration.

State Will Have II
Legal Holidays i'll '4S

There will be fourteen legal holt
days in the State Of Maryland in 1948,
according to record compiled by the
office of the State Comptroller. The
Presidential election year adds one
and Lincoln's birthday adds the sec
ond new one for the year.
The Maryland legislature, at its
session last winter passed an act de-
claring February u State holiday
in Lincoln's memory for the first
time.
The fourteen holidays are New
Years, Lincoln's birthday, Washing
toms birthday, Maryland Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, July Fourth,
Labor Day, Defenders Day, Columbus
Day, Armistice Day, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, national or statewide
election day.
Dr.. Horace E. Flack, director, de-
partment of legislative reference, sup
piled the following information about
how the Maryland Legislature passed
the act
can examination of the records
from 1918 to date show that bills were
introduced in the General assembly in
1918, 1927, 1881, 1871, and 1947 All
failed of passage except in 1871 and
1947. The bill which was passed in
1871 was vetoed by the Governor on
the ground that it was thought I'M
wise to add further to the list of holi-
days at that time when every effort
should be directed toward production,
and that any stoppage of work might
very well interfere with the proper
conduct Of business and industry. The
bill in 1947 was approved"
Lincoln's birthday is legal holiday
in 80 states, he added. OF the 16 which
have not made the date legal holi-
day, four of them are in New Eng
land. OF the 80 which have made it a
legal holiday, seven of them are south
Of the Mason and Dixon line.

Warren Board
Takes Action
Against Bikes

Warrenton - The town board
has decided that bicycle riding
on the sidewalks Of Warrenton
is illegal and the law enforce
ment bodies of the town have
been instructed by the mayor
and town commissioners to ar
rest those caught violating this
law.
The commissioners decided at
their last meeting to instruct
the police force to bear down
on boys and girls who ride their
bicycles on the sidewalks after
this danger and annoyance to Pc
destrians had been discussed.
There has been a law on the
books for many years against
bike riding on the sidewalks but
this law has not been enforced
as strictly in the past several
years as it is expected to be in
The board also called atten-
ton to the fact that some are
riding bicycles at night without
Light and are riding back and
forth across the highway in 3
dangerous manner ad instructed
the chief Of police to take steps
to halt this practice.
