Wildlife Needs
Help In Winter

Sportsmen Of Ohio who appreci-
ate the sport of small game shoot
ing during the open season can
make life a little more bearablc
for wild game brood stock during
the heavy winter SHOWS Of Janu-
airy and February by providing
stations wherever heavy cover
harbors a concentration of game.
Throughout the winter many
sportsmcn's clubs carry out welt
planned winter feeding programs
as a major contribution to Wild
life conservation and thereby save
hundreds of rabbits and pheasantS
and other species of game that
would otherwise find rough going
when deep SHOWS cover up the
normal winter food supply. Squir-
rels have little trouble since they
prepare for any sort Of weather
by storing food but other species
of small game depend on good
eating between SHOWS and put up

Sixth Ohioan to be elected
President of the United States was
William Mckinley, son of foun-
dryman of Niles. The year was
1896,
Forced to leave school at the
age of II, he at once got job
teaching school! His ambition
was TO be a soldier, and at the
age of Is he enlisted for the Civil
War! He rose to major, and at
the age of %, became a lawyer in
Canton.
Two years later, he was elected
prosecuting attorney of Stark
County and soon went to Con-
gress, where he served IA years.
Then he became Governor of Ohio
and was promptly nominated for
President.
Inaugurated the twenty-fifth
President on March 4, 1897, he
was reelected a second term by
the largest plurality ever given
a candidate up to that time. Few
Americans have had SuCl a rapid
rise to fame!
The United States grew to be a
world power during his terms Of
office; Hawaii was annexed, we
fought the Spanish American War
in Cuba and the Philippines, and
we established the Open Door
in China after the Boxer Re-
bellion.
! Then his good fortune turned;
while attending a meeting on trade
and shipping expansion at the
Pan-American Exposition in Buf-
falo in September, 1901, he was
assassinate0. He died at the age
of So, generally recognized as one
of the most gracious and tactful
politicians of the nation.

tanned with 131 men and 113 wo-
men, the company stated.
That Port Clinton residents
like their town very much was
proved by the survey. Almost
one-half of those interviewed
found nothing that they did not
think so much Of" And those
who made any criticism at all,
found no rallying point for gen
eral dissatisfaction.
"This does not mean that there
We're not many places where i'm
provemeut could be made. The
most outstanding improvement
wanted (by one-half of the peo-
ple} was to "clean up the lake
front. This lake front cleaning
was named twice as frequently as
the second choice which was re
pair ne streets and sidcwalks'."
5tEer Items in which improve
inent was wanted were, in order
of Frequency: Improve schools,
sewage disposal plant, commun-
ity center and improved SANTA
tion.
Considered as the towns most
valuable assets were: Lake Erie
and the towns natural vacation
facilities, the friendly people, the
size Of the town, and good trans
portation facilities.
In addition TO wanting new in
dustry in Fort Clinton, 50 percent
of the people felt that the town
should take definite steps to try
and attract new industry.
"There is some feeling among
the townspaople (although to
minor degree only) that a few
local business and professional
men are opposed to new industry
locating in Port Clinton"
Most of those interviewed had
liven in Port Clinton over Is
years, although eight percent had
lived here five years or less. OF
the total, 2s percent had always
lived in Port Clinton.
Both men and women agreed
that Lake Erie is the best natu-
raj characteristic Of our city, and
the size of the town ranked sec
ond.
More men than women thought
that the people in Port Clinton
are friendly. Among the men, IS
percent said the people are friend
ly while only Ia percent of the
women agreed.
Good schools ranked first in the
question regarding the way the
city is run, followed by clean
town, good churches, pleasant
surroundings and up~to-date NOV
les.
Most respondents stated thai
small town people are friendlier
and that people here are "up and
coming"
