Removal Of Memorial Tributes
In Single Day DepIored

To the Editor Of The Star:
Last year people were shocked to hear OF
the use made OF some Of the replaced head
stones from Arlington National Cemetery.
But in my estimation far worse example
OF official ineptitude and total disregard for
the public's wishes Is the undue haste exer-
cised this year In clearing away all the
decorations placed on the graves of our
heroic dead and OF their loved ones
This year peoples and flags were placed
on every grave by noon Sunday. Thousands
OF visitors. many from out of town. entered
the cemetery from opening hour Monday
until late evening. most Of them carrying
more tributes
wonder II you know that by the evening
Of Tuesday. barely "a hours after the serv-
ices at the Amphitheater. every decoration.
every poppy and every flag every floral trib-
ute from the lowly bunch Of daisies. per
haps picked by a child. 10 the most expen-
sive florists wreath. had been removed by
official orders.
II seems 10 me that the some one who
has so little regard for the publies wishes
as TO give such an order should be removed
as expeditiously.

what you would think by listening TO the

But the atomic scientists say positively
there are no atomic secrets. Albert Einstein
declared no such secrets exist. His statement
appeared In an American magazine Of large
national circulation One OF the current best
selling books makes the point that no atomic
secrets exist.
Can IL be true. as President Truman and

ISLANDERS PRAY FOR FREEZING
WEATHER TO HELP BUSINESS

While most local residents are
quite pleased with the springlike
atmosphere which has established
numerous high temperature marks
this winter, there's little JOY at
Put-in-Bay where practically ev-
eryone is praying for cold wealth
er, and the sooner the better.
"In California the SHOWS and
cold temperatures are disastrous.
Why couldn't that have happened
here where such weather is ex-
pected?" Such seems to be the
united opinion of the 400 winter
residents at Put-in-Bay.
Finances of nearly every island
family have been hard hit by the
lack of ice in Lake Erie. Winter
ice fishing sport has grown year
ly until it is an important part of
Putin Bays financial base.
Not only do most adults make
additional money through the sale
of fish they catch through the ice,
but airplane company operators,

were installed.

$1,000 NEEDEDTO
REACH COAL IN
.LAKEFRONT JOB
Donations Asked So That
Digging Can Be Finished
During Freezing Weather

Solicitations from business men
and other individuals are being
sought by Mayor Carl Becker and
Cat Tail Drive leaders William
Crohen and Eugene Bolte to raise
$1,000 needed to complete the lake
front improvement as far as Full
ton street.
With only 500 remaining in the
original Cat Tail Drive fund, it
was necessary to stop work by
the crane operator Saturday. Since
then, numerous offers for financial
aid have been made to continue
the million Dollar Beach" pro-
iect, the leaders reported.
Mayor Becker spoke at the Ro-
tary and Kiwanis meetings this
week to gain support for the pro-
gram. The mayor stated that it is
necessary to keep the crane oper-
ating now during the low water
stage when dirt can be excavated
from the marsh area, and that the
sand must dry for several weeks
before it can be used as fill.
Over nine acres of lakefront
playground have already been
completed northeast of the water
works, and two other acres of la
goons have been excavated and
now await fill.
This work will provide over
1900 feet of excellent beach from
the pier to Fulton street, and also
provide q parking area 159 eet
deep. -
The huge playground will be
spacious enough for regular ball
diamond, softball diamonds, ten
mis- courts, model airplane field and
many other sports. 1t is expect
ed that the park committee of the
city council will provide funds for
playground equipment in the new
budget.
When the lakefront project was
first started it cost IS cents per
yard to haul the dirt, but the sys-
tenn was bettered until the pres
ent cost is only 28 cents per yard
Thus far, $l0,637 has been ex-
pended to improve the lakefront'
That is far below the original
estimate and while much marsh
land remains to be beautified, an
excellent start has been made.
J Ownership legalities of lake
front property have been cleared
only as far as Fulton street, thus
the project must stop there until
council completes action to form a
permanent park board to which
the property can be decided.
Anyone wishing to contribute
to the lakefront improvement may
send his check or cash to William
Crohen at the waterworks or to
Eugene Bolte at Bolte's Realtors
office.

he is admittedly new on an as

In May of 1917, while stu

Easton, Pennsylvania, his home
town Colonel Gruver enlisted
for Army service. His service
with the 10th and 57th Infantry
Regiments in Texas during the
frts World War was the inau-
spicious beginning of a military
career that has continued for
nearly 80 years, advancing him
from buck private to colonel.
Immediately following his dis
charge, Colonel Gruver received
Congressional appointment to
the U. S. Military Academy,
graduating as an Infantry Tank
officer with the Class of 1923, at
the age of "a. Pursuing his
speciality, he elected to attend
the Tank School at Camp Meade
and later the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology.
During the following peacetime
period, Colonel Gruver served
tours of duty at Rock Island Ar
senal, where he was interested in
artillery and tank manufacture;
at Aberdeen Proving Ground,
where he was concerned with the
testing and development of the 3
