fering from a practically incurable
kidney disease, was returned to

of fluids were removed. The
wound is still draining, but Bon

ment.

Use Discretion
InLeaf Bonfires

Harrassed Husband now has a
good excuse for resting in peace
these fall evenings, instead of
burning those leaves the Faith
full Frau has raked into neat
piles in the front yard. He can
turn on the radio, grab the
sports page, flop down on the
studio couch and turn a deaf ear
to the Good Woman's shouts of
woe.
And the City Council will back
him up!
Deciding that the practice of
burning leaves in the streets is
entirely too widespread and dam
gerous to passing motorists,
city councilmen Tuesday night
asked residents to burn leaves
during the day, preferably in the
back yards or alleys where there
is no chance of possible fires.
During the week, hundreds of
leaf bonfres in the evening have
caused a heavy overcast of
smoke and fog, which at times
vas so dense that several near
accidents were reported. Smoke
from bonfres in the streets
nearly blind drivers.

CLUBS ENDORSE
SCHOOL ISSUE
important Groups Work To
Insure Approval For Pro-
posed Improvement

Clubs and organizations of Port
Clinton are going all out in their
endorsement of the School Bond
issue. A full-page advertisement
urging voters to approve the is
sue Nov. 2, appears in this Issue.
One club, in making its en-
dorsement, calls attention to the
fact that the population Of Port
Clinton has probably increased
more than 40 percent since the last
census.
School population will undoubt-
edly increase proportionately. We
cannot expect to educate the 1850
enrolment with 1910 facilities.
Organizations favoring and en-
dorsing the proposed bond issue
include: Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton, Merchants Assn, Rotary
club, Chamber of Commerce,
Downtown Coaches, Mothers club,
Kiwanis club, American Legion
Post 113, Music Mothers, and Port
Clinton Federation of Women's
club.
Perhaps other clubs have pass
ed resolutions of endorsement, but
have not reported their action.

Away Suddenly In Wash

One of Port Clinton's best known
retired business men and sports
men passed away suddenly in his
Washington street home early or
Ths isday morning. He was Frank
j. tiriswold, 80, former vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
American Gypsum company's To-
cal plant.
An ardent hunter, Mr.. Griswold

PILOT ESCAPES
DEATH AS Plane
CRASHES HERE
Plane Which Crossed Ocean
Is Demolished In Landing
At kaspar Farm

Second 1t. William Pierce, 23,
Colorado Springs, Colorado, es-
capped uninjured late Thursday
afternoon when he was forced to
crash land ESQ jet fighter plane
in a cornfield at the James Kas-
par farm, Fremont road.
The youthful pilot was on
regular training flight from his
base at Selfridge field, Michigan,
when the plane ran out of fuel
over this city. The plane circled
the city but the pilot could not
find the airport in the haze.
Although the valuable plane was
practically demolished in the land
ing. 1t. Pierce crawled from the
cockpit unassisted. An ambu-
lance was rushed to the scene, but
was not needed.
The jet plane was one of the
group which pioneered ocean trav-
ell for jets in the widely-publiciz-
ed mass plane crossing to Europe
last summer.
1t. Pierce is to be complimented
for staying with the plane during
the emergency. If he had bailed
out, the plane probably would have
landed in the city and could cas-
lily have caused many deaths. Only
a few shocks of corn were bowled
over as the plane belly-landed.
1t did not overturn, nor did it
catch afire.
Sheriff Ralph Riedmaier and de-
puties Myron Hetrick and William
Cullen guarded the plane until
army guards arrived from the
field. The plane was dismantled
over the weekend, and returned to
Selfridge early Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Kaspar
opened their home to the youthful
pilot, who enjoyed his evening
meal in the modern farm house.
Army officials are investigating
the accident.

STATE GRANTS FUNDS
FOR ROUTE TWO BEACH
ADAMS REPORTS.
OFFICIAL 0KAY
Naft Property Is Included In
Acreage To Become Pub
lie Beach

Mayor Carl Becker was notified
Monday that the Ohio Parks and
Public Works department has ap-
propriated thousands of dollars to
:. purchase over one-half mile of
Lake Erie shore, west of the city,
where an outstanding bathing
beach is to be completed.
Legal procedures for securing
title to the property, surveying,
and other details will be ironed out
during the winter months. Actual
work will begin in the spring.
The beach project will include
all land between the lake and the
: Portage river from the Bolack Fish
company in Erie township, east to
a line near the Bell Fish company.
State Senator Fred L. Adams
was in Columbus last week when
he conferred with top highway and
conservation department officials,
ana 1t was uue 10 COllCeIleu
efforts of various groups that the
deal was negotiated.
Archie King, Senator Adams and
State Representative William
Fleckner have been working for the
project in recent months.
In recent years, this area has
been used for bathing purposes but
it was very dangerous due to the
lack of parking space. Cars were
parked along highly-traveled routes
2 and 163, and accidents were num-
erous.
Under the current plans, the sea-
Y wall will be projected further into
the lake to protect the highway,
the area between the present road
and the former right-of-way will be
filled in to complete a large park
ing lot, the beach will be improved
and bath houses will be installed.
1t will be the third state park in
Ottawa county.
