L Va 10 NSIS cddNSllSu lIllS
week to learn of the death of |
Thomas P. Tom" Howard, Al, who |
was buried in his home town of
st. Marys, Monday morning. Tom
Howard had many friends here as
he worked many summers at Camp
Perry and was a well-known Ohio
National Guardsman. Tom was
also famous vaudeville entertain
er, and he had made many numer-
Gus appearances before local
groups.
JUST about everyone in town
y had one ear glued to the near
est radio Monday afternoon when
the Cleveland Inj;ans defeated the
Boston Red Sox for the American
league OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES was
practically at a standstill. School
students were permitted to listen
in during the last period if they
cared to do so, and everyone did.
We were in class at Ohio State
University, but our ears were
stretching out of shape as we tried
to listen to the nearest portable
(hidden in another students jack
et). At least so fans were jammed
around a roadster, parked in front
of the Administration building, and
the Student Union was filled to ca
pacity as everyone raced for a
radio. We shouldn't gloat but it
seems to me that Ray Raypole and
a few other Detroit Tiger fans are
now convinced they should pick an
Ohio team!
INFANCY KELLER is now assist
ing Mrs. Fay K'Burg at the
Ottawa County Selective Service
office. Both are volunteer workers
at present :. Whenever you men,
tion Port Clinton downstate, you
invariably get the reply "Oh yes,
there's where they have such good
peaches and fish," Occasionally
you'll get another reply, which
shows how we'll known a certain
house has become.

TOHN KORNDORFER recalls
> having witnessed a world series
game between Detroit and Pitts
burgh years ago when the snow
came down in fiurries. Ty Cobb
was playing with that Detroit
team, and Hughey Jennings was
the manager >. Many local sports
fans have tickets for the world
series, especially for the games to
be played in Cleveland. With all
! hotel rooms already reserved in the
nearby cities, many of us are for
tunate to have friends and rela-
tives living there Next week
is Ohio Jersey Week. If you own
a nice Jersey cow-give her an ex-
ira fork of juicy alfalfa hay next
week.
IT OCAL dairies announced re-
reduction of one cent per quart
in retail and wholesale milk prices
Friday, and housewives are hoping
that's an indication that the High
Cost of Living is on the skids. Milk
supply has improved nationally,
thus making the decrease in price
possible Congratulations to
Bob Reider, Fred Lipp and other
members of the Oak Harbor Ex-
ponent staff for their 52-page edi
tion last week. Twas a big job
we'll done.
