discovered the fire as they were
walking past the residence. The
girls broke into the house and
rescued the baby. Firemen re-

FEW HOLES IN STEEL TAPE were
START OF STANDARD PRODUCTS

A few holes in a piece of steel
tape were the cornerstone on which
the Port Clinton Division of the
Standard Products Company was
built.
This unusual achievement be-
gan early in the nineteen thir-
ties when DR.. j. S. Reid of Cleve-
land pioneered in the development
of flexible window channel-the
steel, felt and rubber channel
in which the windows of autos
move up and down.
Previous window channel had
been costly and unsatisfactory.
The channel developed by DR..
Reid, the founder of Standard
Products, was strong enough to
retain its shape. Perforations in
the steel tape of DR.. Reid's chan
mel meant that it could easily be
bent and formd to fit the contour
of the car window. Costs were cut
and quality and efficiency sky
rocketed.
1t was in the midst of the de-
preston in 1884 that Port Clinton
was chosen as the site of the Stan
dard Products Company. 1t was
indeed good news to the area when
announcement was made that the
old rubber company plant had been
purchased and jobs would be avail
able for many unemployed per-
sons.
Production of window channel
at the local plant began in the
spring of 1884, exactly fifteen
years ago. Now valued at over
$1,0OO,GO0 dollars, the Port Clin-
ton Division of the Standard Pro-
ducts Company provides jobs for
600 men and women and makes
well over half of the worlds sup
ply of automotive window chan
mel.
Back in 1904, hardware manu-
featuring company constructed
the present plant but production
did not last long as funds were
lacking to purchase needed
equipment. A crayon firm NOV
ed into the plant next, after
which several unsuccessful at
tempts were made to start tire
company in the building. From
1923 until 1884, the plant was
idle.
Now Port Clinton's leading in
dustry, the Standard Products
has brought hundreds of new resi-
dents to this city-people who
have become leaders in civic,
church and sports activities.
Harry Myers, president of the
company, states: at is true that
a modern company must have a
good building and the best equip
ment available, but above all, the
real secret to an enterprising
company is it's people.
"It is a fundamental policy of
Standard Products to be constant
ly studying the human problems
and the human desires, as we
realize that company is primar-
lily the people who work for it,
We will be successful in the fu-
ture only through the ability, the
effort, and the willingness of all
our people to work together"
Port Clinton and the entire area
salute the Standard Products
Company on its 18th anniversary
and share in the desire that the
rapid growth of the past Is years
will be continued in the future.

HIGH SCHOOL TOURNEY MAY co Nj E HE K E
Juneau basketball ians may have

Juneau basketball ians may have a chance to see the first high school basketball tournament in Juneau this spring because the Wrangell High School Wolves, who had such a good record last year, were just a little slow in getting rolling this season.
 Early in the season Wrangell lost a game to Petersburg on the Wrangell court as several of the Wrangell main string were ineligi- ole to play. Then on the Peters ourg court the Wolves lost in close games to the PHS Vikings who n the meantime had dropped three out of five games to the Ketchi- zan Polar Bears. This put Ket0h- ikan apparently on top but not for -ong.
 Last weekend the Wrangell boys came to life and swamped Kayhi in two fast games, 51-23 and 64-32. This means that if Wrangell can ake one game in Ketchikan Feb ruary IS or 19, and judging by last weekend they may, that this snd of the league will be all tied up with some kind of tournament to go.
 Ketchikan has beaten Peters burg, Petersburg edged out Wran- gell and now Wrangell is swamp ing Ketchikan. The boys from Kayhi can come out on top but will have to beat Wrangell three straight games to do it, two sche- duled games and a playoff game, and that is a tough order for any team.
 One Of the solutions advanced in the event of a tie is to have the Ketchikan, Petersburg, and Wran- gell teams journey to Juneau for four-team playoff tournament for the Southern Southeast Alaska title. This would give the Juneau fans a look at some of the finest high school basketball played.

 Acheson also pleaded with van denberg to support the Adminls- tration's bill to appropriate sixteen million dollars to relieve the plight of 75O,o0O Arab refugees from the Palestine fighting. Acheson sald the Arabs, crowded into filthy camps, are dying at the rate of oo a day. It is absolutely necessary, he said, for the United States to do what it can to help because the American reputation in the Arab world is at stake.
 Vandenberg replied that he would be glad to throw his weight be- hind the bill.
 Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary Rusk had gone up to Capitol Hill to talk secretly with Congressman Sol Bloom, Democratic chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, about the same thing. The State Department has been especially worried about Blooms reaction to the bill to aid the Arabs, because he had indicated in a speech he might oppose the idea. However, Rusk found Bloom quite reasonable on all points. and now feels he will vote for the bill.

FRENCH GRATITUDE

During wars, allied nations pull together, work together, fight to- gether-of necessity. They cannot afford to do otherwise. After wars, people sometimes drift apart. After wars, it is easy to picker over the spoils of war, over the terms of peace.
 That the French people want to work at peace just as hard as they worked at war is attested by the 49 boxcars of the Gratitude Train now flaming out to all parts of the U.S.A. The sentiment behind that train is expressed more elo- quently than anything that can be written in this column by letter of wounded French veteran. who says.
 At the hour when the Grati- tude Train is leaving Paris for Havre and the United States, feel the need to tell you what the French people want to express to your great country by this sym holic train.
 ITO you Americans who have done so much, given to much to the children, the aged, and all the people of France. it is the affec- tionate thanks, the sincere grati- tude of my country. This train, made up of cars that your G. Is know well, is true token of our affection, of our friendship to all of your 49 states. Each one of these cars from France will tell those of you who know us, that we do not forget. And to those who have never come to our land may it bring message from the people of France to all the people of the U.S.A.
