Ohio Public Service Company
men Of the Port Clinton Division
were entertained at dinner at
Marshall's Inn Tuesday evening as
an award for safe driving during
the year 1948. The men driving

Police Chief Jack Shelter COM
plimented the men and added en-
couragement for future safe driv-
ing. Clayton Boringer, Assistant
Coordinator Of Employe Relations
from the Cleveland Office, brought
congratulations from there.
The meeting was in charge of
William Kramb, local Safety Su-
pervisor, whose job it is to stimu-
late safe driving continually by
means of regular safety meetings
and personal encouragement. Safe
driving record cards were distri-
buted to a number of men who
had earned them.
