Hasty Heart Set
For Playhouse

HURON-One of the most pow
erful plays to come out of the
second World War, The Hasty
Heart, will be the fourth Huron
Playhouse production. 1t begins
its five night run Wednesday,
July 20, in the Huron High School
auditorium.
Bill Prentice, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. Prentice, 223 Shelby

director, is directing THE Hasty
Heart.
John Patrick's play is the story
of how Scot soldier falls in love
with the ward nurse in a tempor-
ary British general hospital. When
he discovers he only has few
weeks to live, he rejects everyone
who has been kind to him includ-
ing the nurse, thinking they were
his friends only because he was
going to die. But the feeling of
friendship that had grown up with
those in the ward was too strong
to break, and he spends the few
remaining weeks of his life in
happiness with his friends.
The play stars Richard Bau-
man (son of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto
J. Beytel, 1901 Hayes Ave-, San
dusky) as Lachie, the Scot soldier.
Rita Roof plays Sister Margar-
ct, the British nurse who loves
and is loved by Lachie.
Joe De Saints, we'll known Ohio
impersonator and entertainer,
plays the colonel in charge of the
hospital.
The friendly Basuto who can't
speak English is to be played by
Floyd Heckert (son of Mr. and
Mrs. Leland Heckert, 5O95 East
over Rd., Lyndhurst, Ohio.). s
Stanleigh Fisk (son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Fisk, 1908 East
73rd St., Cleveland) is cast as
klwi, a New Zealand soldier in the
hospital.

Capron, Yank; Dale Keighley.
Digger; Arthur Moore, Tommy;
and Richard Hogman, Orderly.
The Hasty Heart" is the fourth

the highest in his association and
also is the highest of all regulars

baseman Macko has made 50 hits

ing Ia home runs. He has bat,

Joe jumps from Glass c teams to
Class A or higher before the sea-

better batting average than the
highly-touted Luke Easter, of San
Diego, Class AAA. Easter, cur
rently recovering from an opera
tion in Cleveland, has an average
of 1868. He has SO hits in 273
trips to the plate. Joe needs only
II more to catch up with Luke in
the hit department, and he has
batted 53 less times.

Dick Kern and August Kolesar

Look, Listen
And Live!

COLUMBUS - Ohio motorists
and pedestrians were reminded
today by T. ]. Kauer, Director of
the Ohio Department of High
ways, to Look, Listen-and
Live!" at highway-railroad grade
crossings.
kauer's appeal was made as
part of the Signs of Life" cam
paign being carried on to pre-
vent deaths and injuries in traffic.
The Signs of Life" are the
traffic signs, signals and pave
ment markings installed on the
streets and highways-and at
highway-railroad crossings - to
guide those afoot and at the wheel
safely on their way.
State Highway Director Kauer
cited the fact that approximately
ITS persons We're killed at grade
crossings in Ohio during 194S.
Everyone hates to miss a
train," he said. But there is one
time everyone should miss it-at
a grade crossing"
Those who drive were urged to
learn the basic shapes of highway
signs
l. Round for warning of the
approach to railroad crossing.
2. Eight sided or octagonaI
! signs mean STOP.
3. Crossbuck means you're at o
highway-railroad crossing.
4. Diamond-shapes are warn,
ing signs.
5. Rectangle for most regula.
tory signs.
Director kauer also urged that
heed be paid to the following
suggestions for increasing safety
at grade crossings:
(D Approach all highway-rail
crossings with your vehicle under
control, prepared to stop if nee
essary.
! (2) Look and listen at railroad
tracks. If the view is obscured
be extra careful. Know that the
way is clear before crossing.
(3) Do not cross as long as
any mechanical device, such as
lights or the wig7wag, is in oper-
alton. The law requires you to
wait.
(4 Look both ways. There
may be a train coming on the
second track.
(5) Be especially alert at
night at highway-rail crossings
There may be a train or the
crossing that you cannot see.

I IKE the reticent turtle, Pete
Wahlers has discovered that
patience is virtue. Recently he
hauled several loads of crushed
limestone to extend the dock at
Channel Grove. Whenever his
truck would back up to the dock
to unload, nearby fishermen
"raised hell" with Pete and up
braided him for disturbing their
fishing. This continued for three
days. On the third morning when
Pete's truck arrived at Channel
Grove, the vacationing fishermen
rushed out to greet him with open
arms. They told Wahlers that
the fish were so thick around the
crushed limestone, that one could
practically pick them out of the
water by hand. Perhaps fishing
resort owners should add lime
stone to the water each spring
it pays off.

Hits Governors
County Aid Plan
-- plSlsloa ct Treiiie ond Soies

Governor Frank J. Lausche, in
his program for Aid to Counties
and Cities this week will call on
67 counties to carry the freight
for q other counties, according
toN Representative c. William
O'Neill, Republican, Marietta, Mi
nority Floor Leader.
Ottawa County will lose $l2,-
10000 under the Governors pro-
gram.
Under the present law, all
the tax money collected on bank
deposits and other intangibes in
Ottawa County remains in Ottawa
County.
Under the Governors program
Ottawa County's tax money will
have to be sent to Columbus and
will be distributed back on a for
mula which returns to Ottawa
County less than Ottawa County
pays in. The Governors program
favors certain large metropolitan
counties.
The Governors program violates
the Home Rule policy and takes
away Ottawa County's right to
use its own tax money.
|, While Ottawa County loses, the
large metropolitan districts, like
Youngstown, Toledo, Dayton, Ak
ron and Columbus, gain heavily
at the expense of Ottawa County.
1T is significant that Governor
Lausche, in a midnight deal made
in his office agreed to support the
bill and to sign it is passed, even
though it means selling 67 of the
SO counties down the river for the
benefit of few selfish people,
Representative O'Neill said.

Wheat Loans Are
Now Available

The loan rate on the crop of
wheat now being harvested is
S2.O6 per bushel for Ottawa
County, according to Henry H.
Burning, chairman of the Ottawa
County AAA Committee.
A loan may be obtained on
wheat testingA14 per cent or less
in moisture and grading No. 3 or
better, or on wheat grading No.
or on test weight only.
Wheat farmers do not have to
sell wheat at the present market
quotation at $1.76 per bushel even
though they do not have perma-
nent storage. An emergency loan
equal to rs per cent of the courty
loan rate will be made by the
county AAA committee on wheat,
meeting minimum grade require
ments, if such wheat is placed in
temporary storage, on the barn
floor, in the garage or other
places where it is safe from the
weather. The farmer then has 80
days to get into permanent stor-
age, at which time he can secure
the balance of the full loan rate.
Emergency loans made on wheat
are at the risk of the Commodity
Credit Corporation for the period
it is under an emergency loan.
We suggest that you come in
and talk to US about your wheat
before you sell it at the present
market price.
