OFF THE CUFF
By RAY SPERBER

Harry Callahan has announced
that the highly-lauded movie,
"Not Wanted" has been booked
for showing in the Clinton on
August II, II and 13. Produced
by Ida Lupino, this movie tells
the story Of young girl be-
trayed by love. 1t isn't thrill
show but the subject is well
handled and expertly acted by
youthful performers. "Not Want
ed" has set new attendance rec
ords in Cleveland, Toledo and
Detroit theatres. We're lucky to
have it shown in Port Clinton at
such an early date.

MOTORISTS in this area who
A travel along Routes or 1853
any Sunday get a big chuckle out
Of the signs which read "Speed
Limit 35 miles" With cars forced
to crawl along, bumper to bumper,
one is lucky to average 20 miles
an hour let alone 35 m.p.h. There
must be a traffic saturation point.
Local roads have been "satur-
ated" for the entire summer, in
fact, they're soaked. It's time
Ottawa county residents insisted
on a four-lane super highway,
continuing east from Camp Perry
to the Sandusky Bay bridge.

|COLONEL Harry Kerr's pro-
posed retirement has been
postponed another month. Orig
inally scheduled for retirement in
May, state and national officials
begged "Sandy" to remain on
duty at least until the AA en-
campment periods were over Now
that there is a strong possibility
of the National Matches being re-
turned to Camp Perry next month,
Kerr has agreed to remain as
camp superintendent through
September. Incidentally, Kerr's
successor has been selected for
months, has been on duty at
Camp Perry all summer and is a
well known National Guard Off
cial. His appointment will be an
nounced soon by Major General
Leo Kreber, Ohio's Adjutant Gen
eral. ~

MR.. and Mrs. Eugene Hearn are
lucky people. They have pur-
| chased a spacious house trailer

triet State Highway Patrol, was
retired Monday under the pa
trolls disability provisions. 1t.
S. B. Radcliff, Columbus, for
mer patrol sergeant, is his sue

T OCAL wrestling fans, which in
A cludes practically everyone
who has a television set, will be
in the Toledo Sports Arena this
Thursday night or else relaxed in
their favorite chair to watch the
television of the Mature Boy
Buddy Rogers-Zebra Kid match.
Most of us feel Nature Boy had a
raw deal in his last meeting with
the Zebra Kid, especially when
the referee was knocked out of
the ring. There are many wrest-
ling fans here who do not miss
the Thursday night cards in To-
ledo.
