WAR NEEDS MAY
CAUSE CHANGE
FOR BOyS'STATE
Legion Trustees To Make
Finals Plans; Stricter
Selections

Camp Perry's future as site for
the 1851 Ohio Boys State will not
be decided until February, due to
the possibility that the local camp
may be used as training camp
for national guard troops next
summer
Members of the board of trus-
tees of Boys State, sponsored by
the American Legion, have also
voted to clamp stricter rules on
selection of the junior boys to
attend the annual event.
The change would tend to insure
that boys selected are of the high
est caliber and that they are from
great number of high schools.
District quotas would be changed
to lower the total attendance.
Two boys could be selected from
schools where enrolment in the
upper three grades is 500 stud
ents, and two additional boys
could be named from each major
fraction over that limit. Only
boys from the upper third of the
junior class are eligible.
A record crowd of youths at
tended Boys State at Camp Perry
last August, but there was some
dissatisfaction. A few of the boys
complained about housing accom-
modations and food facilities, and
Camp Perry officials were none
too pleased with damages to prop
erty on the final night.

Catawba Islands fire department
had its first major workout since
its organization, and the Port Clin-
ton fire department also had a
job on its hands. The combined
firemen fought the fire for two
hours before it was extinguished.
When the local firemen arrived,
Catawba's 400-gallon pumper tank
was nearly exhausted. Water was
used from Port Clinton's 600-gal-
lon pumper tank until the Cataw-
ba tank could be rehlled from a
cistern. The house was covered
by insurance.

taWba Fire Department, said the

tawba volunteer firemen was ex-
cellent, and he praised the work

BETTER SIREN.
is URGED FOR
C|TYS DEFENSE
Property Owners To Be Noti-
fed To Repair Faulty Side
walks In Port Clinton

Heeding the request of Fire
Chief Walter Miller and Civilian
Defense Director Wayne Petersen,
city councilmen Tuesday evening
voted to advertise for bids to pur-
chase double-head siren.
Miller. Petersen and other vol
unteer firemen stated the pres
ent siren is inadequate as it is
too weak to be heard any great
distance.
A siren salesman was present
at the council meeting, and he
promised that his product could
be returned if it did not prove ac-
ceptable. Plans were discussed to
have a special tower erected so
that the SIRENS range could be in
creased.
While Mr.. Petersen did not dis
close immediate need for the 81
rem, he did warn that the city
should be prepared for civilian de-
fense as rapidly as possible.
Walks Too Rough
Councilmen decided that the
sidewalk committee should make
tour of the city to check all
sidewalks which are too low, too
high, rough or broken, and would
be dangerous to pedestrians.
Property owners where faulty
sidewalks are discovered will be
given official notice to repair the
walks as soon as possible. In nu-
merous cases, tree roots have rails
ed sidewalks so high that persons
could be badly injured in falls.
Councilmen heard City Clerk
William Zeis read bids for pur-
chase of an air compressor and
bench grinder for street depart
ment usage, and for new fiuores-
cent light fixtures for the council
chambers and mayors office.
Only item purchased was the
one-horse bench grinder on the
$4,000 bid of the Smith Auto
motive Company, Fulton Street.
Other items we're tabled for fur
ther consideration.
Councilman Roland Schaper,
who is a member of the airport
committee, explained that work
of blacktopping the airport run
way probably will not start until
March / as the CAA has been re-
luctant to approve the work until
legal technicalities pertaining to
mineral rights are remedied.
