Lords Treasury
Boxes Robbed

From the pulpit in st. John
Lutheran church Sunday, August
ID, the Rev. John Braun an
nounced that new Lords Treas
ury boxes had arrived and were
being distributed so that parish
toner's could set aside 10 per cent
of their salary for the Lords
Work.
Rev. and Mrs. Braun took one
of the boxes to the parish house,
and he deposited $40 therein.
During the week, they discovered
that some one had stolen the $40
from the Lords Treasury box, and
had also taken $40 of church funds
from another box.
Rev. and Mrs. Braun believe
the theft was committed Tues
day. They are hoping that the
money will be returned, as it was
not theirs.

PET DOC RETURNS FROM "DEATH'
TO MAKE SLAUGHTER FAMILY Y HAPPY

"Corky" and Tommy Slaughter,
sons of Atty. and Mrs. George
Slaughter, Hayes Avenue, are
contemplating changing the name
of their pet dog from Trigger"
to Lazarus" as the Labrador
Boxer pup practically came back
from the grave after having been
deliberately poisoned last week.
Tommy was at boys camp in
lSarona, Wisconsin, when Trigger
became violently i'll last Wednes-
day forenoon. At noon. Mr..
Slaughter rushed the pet to DR..
J. r. Merrick's pet hospital in
Lakeside but the family had no
hopes for Triggers recovery as
he had stiffened in convulsions.
Neighborhood mothers We're up
in arms when DR.. Merrick discov-
cred the dog had eaten strychnine
poison. There are over 25 young
children in that neighborhood and
anv Of them could have picked
up the poisoned meat and died a
horrible death.
When Tommy returned from
camp Sunday, his parents could
not tell him that Trigger was
dead, but they explained his alb
sence by saying the pet was sick.
Brokenhearted over the dogs evil
dent death, they had been unable
to phone DR.. Merrick to check on
his condition.
Early Tuesday evening, the tele-
phone rang in the Slaughter home
and Tommy answered the phone.
1t was DR.. Merrick calling. Tom
my turned to his parents and said
Trigger wants to come homew
There were smiles of happiness on
the four Slaughter faces as they
retired that night.
DR.. Merrick reports that there
have been numerous other cases
of strychnine poisoning in the
city during the summer months.
Whoever is guilty of this crime
should remember that a local child
died in agony over 20 years ago
after having eaten poisoned meat
thrown in her yard. A word to
the wise should be sufficient.

LEGION CARNIVAL TO

There's No Peach
Like Our Countv's

Martha Kuesthardt, Cleve-
land, Georgia, former society
editor of this newspaper, sends
us the following story which is
self explanatory:
Canned peaches yesterday.
They were bought on the At
lanta market. Resented every
peach which | handled, and
why was it not Il happy expert
ence? They We're not Ottawa
county peaches, nay, not even
Georgia, but of all places,
Michigan.
Would not have known they
were Elbertas had they not
been marked so. No flavor, ex-
cept bitter, and in poor condi-
tion.
IL longed for home grown
peaches, firm and just right for
peeling and canning. The pits
on many of these split.

one knows where THE

GYPSUM SEEKS
WATER SERVICE
Property Owners Request
Extension of Water Lines
To Nearby Village

Portage Township trustees and
Gypsum property owners met with
the county commissioners Mon
day afternoon to plead for the
proposed water line to be extend
ed from the Port Clinton service
to Gypsum.
At the present time, the Port
Clinton waterworks is providing
water for the Celotex Corp. and
U. S. Gypsum Company plants
and for the Portage Twp. school
in Gypsum.
Residents of the neighboring
village have long sought the local
water service, as they must de-
pend on cisterns and wells and
many must haul water from this
city to keep their supply halfway
adequate.

STREET LIGHTS
AT SCHOOL TO Be
REPAIRED SOON
Petersen Agrees To Quit
Work In Auto Shop At
Night After Protests

To insure better protection for
the city's school children. mem
bers of the city council Tuesday
evening approved a bid of $S79
submitted by A. T. Emmett, Inc,
for installation OF a new control
box and repairs for traffic lights
on East Fourth near the public
and parochial schools.
Les Hessoun of the Emmett
firm appeared before council and
said his survey showed that new
weather control box, waterproof
cables and repairs were needed
for the traffic lights at jefferson
and Fourth and at Madison and
Fourth.
Councilman Goebel suggested
that the present traffic lights
along Perry at Madison and JEFF
ferson be moved to the school area,
that a new light be installed at
Madison and Perry and the pres
ent light at Lakeview Park be
moved to Jefferson and Perry. His
plan was tabled for further con-
sideration.
Councilmen and police officials
contend that the lights along Per-
ry Street should be center arch
lights, as the present lights on
side poles are often not noticed
by strangers.
Want Less Noise
Mr.. and Mrs. John Winnie, East
Second Street, appeared before
council, representing "a neighbor-
hood residents who signed a Pc
tition asking council to keep Cor
don Petersen from "hammering
and pounding" in his auto repair
shop at night.
Petersen said he worked in his
shop after finishing his duties at
the Standard Products, and that
he had to work nights to make
a living for his large family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Winnie, and the
petition signers, claimed that the
continual pounding at night caused
loss of sleep and was a nuisance.
Mrs. Winnie said she was under
doctors care and the pounding
wasn't conducive to good health.
After a lengthy discussion by
Mayor Becker, councilmen, City
Solicitor George Slaughter and
the principals, an agreement was
reached whereby Petersen will
stop working in his shop at 7
p. m. each evening.
