MAYOR URGES.
SEAL SUPPORT
$4,000 Goal Needed To Aid
COunty's Handicapped
Children

Mayor Carl Becker today urged
the people of Port Clinton and
Ottawa County to cooperate in the
10th annual Easter Seal drive,
which enables the Ottawa County
Society for Crippled Children to
continue it's services to the handi-
capped.
During the past year, more
than rs physically handicapped
children and adults benefited by
the program of the Ottawa Coun-
ty Society. Indirectly, the disab-
led benefited by your Easter Seal
contributions" he said.
Easter Seals mean new life
and hope to crippled children thru
the special services they provide,
as orthopedic appliances. special
education and vocational guidance.
The Society's work enhances our
community welfare,'' the mayor
said.
The local campaign is part of a
nationwide drive which opened on
March II and will close Easter
Sunday, April II. The goal of
this community is 100000, 4S%6
of which has been reached.

CROSSING WILL
NOT Be MOVED,
LIEBER STATES
Three-Mile Crossing Will Re-
main But Approach Will
Be Changed to Rt. 2

According to letter from II. b.
Kaufman, location and design en-
gineer for the Ohio Department of
Highways, Toledo Division, the
Three-Mile Crossing in Erie
Township will not be moved west
erly during the proposed widen
ing of Route l63 (Oak Harbor-
Port Clinton road).
Mr.. Kaufman and Division En-
gineer G. M. Lieber have advised
the editor that the Three-Mile
Crossing will be retained in its
present location, but that a new
section of the road will be con-
structed directly north to form a
junction with State Route 2.
This new junction is to be con-
structed west of the Dale Mackey
residence. Mr.. Kaufman writes
"This will provide a new inter
section of the two routes at right
angles which will permit clear
and adequate sight distance in all
directions and will do away with
the present hazardous acute angle
junction Of the two routes"
In connection with the project,
flasher light and automatic gates
will be installed at the railroad
crossing which should provide ade-
quate protection for the highway
traffic using the crossing.
When preliminary plans We're
announced last month, there was
widespread protest from property
owners in the Three-Mile Crossing
area who contend that relocation
of the crossing would be needless
waste of state funds. These resi-
dents favor the proposed widen.
ing of Route 163, however.
Mr.. Kaufman adds: "We are
now in the process of preparing
our plans for this Improvement
There is still much work to do ir
the planning stage and it is MOI
likely that this project will get
under construction until late thi.
Fall"
