HOPE TO Use C|TY'S EQUIPMENT
TOPAvE STREETS AND Save FUNDS

Mayor Carl Becker and city
councilmen are planning to tour
nearby cities to inspect improved
streets in an effort to ascertain
if Port Clinton can use it's own
street department equipment to
pave streets.
Bowling Green will be one of
the cities ito be visited. The coun-
cilmen and Mayor Becker belieN-
ed that savings would be possible
if city-owned equipment is used,
rather than hiring street pavement
contractors for the jobs.
Discussion of the street projects
Was brought up Tuesday evening
when City Clerk William Zeis pre-
sented a proposed budget for the
new year. AS several changes
will be necessary, the budget was
tabled for further study.
Councilmen learned that little,
if any, street paving could be COM
pleted under the proposed budget
as funds would prevent such ex-
pense. The substitute plan was
suggested by Mayor Becker.

BLAME FACTORY
In FLOODING OF.
EAST END Sewer
City Plans To BYPASS Stand
ard Water Directly
Into Lake

That the Standard Products
Company plant is responsible for
much of the difficulty encountered
at the East End lift station was
reported to city council Tuesday
evening by Harold Stroud, Toledo
sanitary engineer, who has con-
Quoted a survey of sewer condi-
tions within the city.
Mr.. Stroud measured flow of
water at the Maple-Second street
manhole near the factory and re-
ported a flow of IS gallons per
minute. Tests short time later
at the life station showed a flow
of ia gallons per minute, or only
% gallons per minute from resi-
dences in the vicinity.
The engineer stated that the
present lift station was a war
time emergency measure and is
not large enough to handle sew
age ana storm water.
He suggested that either a
larger lift station be constructed
at a cost of $4,000 or that larger
pumps be installed at a cost of
$4,000.
Stroud told councilmen that a
plan could be worked out whereby
much of the Standard Products
water could be "by-passed" di-
rectly into Lake Erie as most of
it is "clear" water.
When the lift station was
built, roof water was to have
been excluded from the sanitary
sewer. New users of the system
must sign permits which forbid
roof water running into the sani-
tary system.
Council and engineers will in
vestigate plans to bypass the
factory's flow directly into the
lake before taking other action.

WORK TO START SOON
ON NEW PARISH HOUSE
LUTHERANS TO
RUSH Bull DING
Hope To Complete S145,O00
Building For 18th Ami
versary Observance

Construction of the proposed
Parish Hall addition to St. John
Lutheran church, at a cost of
$145,472 plus architects fees, will
get underway in the near future
and may be completed by early
fall, Pastor John Braun has an
nounced.
Decision to start construction
of the long planned building was
given unanimous approval Tues
day evening at the annual meet
ing in the church parlors. Vote
was by ballet.
A financial campaign to raise
funds for the 51x12S feet build
ing has been underway for several
months and will be given added
impetus with the start of con-
struction.
The parish hall will be built in
the large lot Immediately south
of St. John Lutheran church, in
Adams street. Front of the new
building will be of cut stone to
conform with the present church.
The structures will be joined at
the front by passage way, but
70 foot courtyard will separate
the two structures eastward.
With it's huge construction, st.
John church has been crowded for
space in recent years. Some
Sunday school classes have been
forced to meet in the City Hall
and other nearby buildings. Com
pletion of the new parish hall will
alleviate the situation.
Included in the proposed build
ing will be numerous Sunday
school classrooms and offices, a
small chapel, rest rooms, lobby,
kitchen and serving rooms, and a
combination banquet and recrea-
tion hall and auditorium.
The 4SxS6 feet banquet hall
will seat 450 persons while the
auditorium will provide seats for
750. The parish hall will occupy
the entire half-block from the
street to the alley, and thus will
be longer than the church struc-
ture.
Bellman, Gillett and Richards,
Toledo architects who drew plans
for Magruder Hospital, will be
engaged for this project. The
church will advertise for con-
structors' bids in the near fu-
ture. Robert Kreilick is general
chairman of the building commit
tee.
Rev. Braun reported that the
35th anniversary of the dedica
ton of st. John Lutheran church
building and the 18th anniversary
Of the founding Of st. John con-
gregation will be observed this
fall, probably on September 26.
Numerous reports were read at
the annual meeting, including
those Of the pastor, treasurer,
and various church organizations.
Baptized church membership is
1919, with confirmed membership
Of 11S0. Sunday school enroll
ment is 43O with average church
attendance of 359.
At the annual meeting action
was taken to change the constitu
tion to include two more deacons
and one more elder.
Franklin Heiserman was re-
elected as president of the con-
gregation with Stensen Petersen
as vice-president. Richard Cover
was eIeceed as secretary and
Ralph Mackey as church treas
urer.
Also elected were Charles An
derson, Sr., and Edward Rodat
church elders; Edward Lieske,
trustee; Alvin Babcock, Lester

Senate Rejects
TRUMAN'5 PLAN,
NLRB REVISION

WASHINGTON, May IL - Up -
Senate rejection of a Presidential
plan to reorganize the National
Labor Relations Board was cited
by Republicans today as proof that
Congress won't go for the Truman
fair DEAL
BY SO to 80 margin-with 10
Democrats, chiefly from the South,
voting with 35 Republicans the
Senate nullified the NLRB revision
that Mr.. Truman wanted yesterday.
About an hour later it junked by
a IS to Is count another Truman
proposal involving the Comptroller
of the Currency.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
Republican floor leader. said the
labor board showdown proved that
Scott Lucas has only about one
third of the Senate with him when
the President wants to put over his
fair deal program"
Majority leader Lucas D-IlD led
the opposition in the futile effort
to save the reorganization plan.

Youth Robbed Bank
Because Felt World
Was AgainstHim

SEATTLE, May 12-lR-A 20
year-old Monroe youth told sheriff's
deputies last night he robbed a
bank at Carnation yesterday on a
sudden impulse.
He identified himself at the
county Jail as Ell Roy Oster. In
signing a confession, his only ex-
PLANTATION was that he "felt the
whole world was against me-"
He said he had left the home OF
his mother and stepfather in Mon
roe to drive to California after
failing to find work. He had stop
ped in the little Eastern King
County town for a cup OF coffee.
The youth, armed with a rifle,
gave himself up after his old car
overheated and stalled on hill six
miles from the town.

HAlIBUT SEASON
MAY BE SHORT AS
CATCH IS LARGE

PETERSBURG, Alaska, May IL
-R1If halibut landings here are
any indication of those at other
Alaska ports, it will be a short sea-
son.
That was the opinion of fish buy
ers here when it was reported that
approximately 100000 pounds OF
halibut have been landed since the
season opened May /.
It's twice the amount taken by
he same date last year, said buyer
Knut Thompson. Current prices are
three cents higher than last year.
The length of the halicut season
is governed by the catch. When the
sotal catch reaches a certain pre-
set poundage, the season is over.
High boats here so far appear to
be the Teddy j and the Spencer II,
each of which brought in 10000
pounds this week. The vessels are
skippered by John Otness and Ed
Thorsen, respectively.
The Pamela Rae, another Peters,
burg vessel owned by Magnus Mar
tens, went through the Narrows yes
terday with $4,000 pounds but was
reported heading for Ketchikan
where she will repair fathometer.

BAIT JAIL MAKES A BUSINESS

BRADENTON, Fla.-R-William
:. Aldridge, Sr., retired Dunn, NC,
manufacturer, couldn't stay retired
so he and his son have opened a
sporting goods store here. One OF
the reasons was his development IL
what he calls a bait JAIL" a con-
tainer for holding bait while fish
ing and for keeping it alive bet
ter.
1t is a metal rectangle with
flexible arms which fit into slotted
steel holders. The holders are fast
ened to the boat and the contain
er can be slipped in and out in a
fifty. The arms permit the pail to
remain half submerged when the
boat is at anchor and single row
of holes on all four sides permits
the water to flow freely in and
out. When the craft is in motion,
the arms permit it to rise higher
and volplane behind on the sur
face. A scoop in the bottom picks
up sufficient water to keep the
bait alive.

AIRPORT TOWER TO
MAINTAIN STAFF AS
USUAL, SAYS CAA

Daylight three-man service in
the airport control tower at the
Juneau airport will be continued, it
was assured today in a wire from
Gov. Ernest Gruening to Acting
Gov. Lew M. Williams.
Civil Aeronautics Administration
officials indicated some time ago
that tower service would be dis
continued here because of traffic
conditions. This would have meant
that many landings could not have
been made here when weather was
on a "borderline" and that planes
would have had to ground at Gus
tavus or overhead into Annette Is
land.
A wire was sent Gov Gruening in
Washington to ask his help in
keeping the tower manned. He re-
piled Immediately that he had con-
tacted the CAA administrator, Delos
w. Rented, and had been assured
service would continue as usual
Tower men issue weather reports
every minute if the need arises to
guide plane into the airport. Their
not being here would mean that
only hourly weather bureau reports
would be heard by planes headed
for Juneau, and in event weather
was bad, nothing could land here.
CAA rules allow certain services
to be maintained in each airport
dependent upon traffic, with many
Alaska airports given more service
than traffic would warrant else

FIRST MOVE MADE

LOS ANGELES. May 12-tR-The
government moved today to reduce
gasoline prices and end voluntary
oil conservation-which it contends
operates to hold down the supply
and keep prices up.
1t also wants to force major oil
companies to make their products
available to independents on the
same basis as to other majors.
ut is the hope of the govern
ment that by freeing retail and
wholesale outlets of restraints, eff
fective competition can be restored
to the industry and result in lower
prices" a spokesman said.
The companies contend that con-
servation-by establishing produc-
ton quotas at the wells-saves an
natural resource.
