land barge captain, escaped in
jury Friday afternoon in an un-
usual accident in Perry street
between Lincoln and Hayes ave

cruiser in front of the truck.
Parish, travelling east, started to
pass the parked vehicles when he
noticed Shinevar's uniform and

Mrs. Henry Schmidlin, Route l.,
Elmore, and Martin Boss, Elmore,
are among group of Ohio farm
residents cited in an article en-
titled whats Wrong With Your
Wiring?" in the April issue of
Cappers Farmer. The article tells
how these people have solved wiz
ing problems with the help OF
power company engineers.
"At Mrs. Schmidlin's place over
load finally caught up with the
wiring SYSTEM" says story IN
the nationally-circulated farm
magazine. Hay and corn drying
equipment called for rewiring IN
1948. The main service and meter
are installed on the house. That
eliminates the center pole, long
drops and maintenance of extra
wiring"
Boss draws comment for having
achieved adequate electrical serv-
ice through rewiring. His system
includes distribution from a CEN
ter meter pole, with main service
to both house and barn, and a drop
from pole directly to his we'll
pump motor near by. Boss now
has some extra capacity for tu-

SANDUSKIAN IS
HELD HERE IN
FORGERY CASE
Russell Lassen Is Bound To
Grand Jury By Mayor
Becker

Russell Lassen, 3S, Sandusky,
was bound over to the Ottawa
county grand jury under $1,000
bond when he appeared before
Mayor Carl Becker Tuesday on q
charge of forgery.
Lassen had been arrested in
Sandusky Friday for Port Clinton
police. Sandusky Police Chief
Russell Thorn said that Lassen had
been turned over to Kent, Ohio,
authorities last November on bad
check charge.
The Sanduskian was wanted
here for allegedly passing a bogus
check at the Clinton Mems Wear
store. Lassen .reportedly is also
awaiting grand jury trials in Ely
ria and Mansfield for passing
counterfeit checks in stores in
those cities. He was freed on
$2,500 bond in Elyria and $1,000
bond in Mansfield.
The bad check passed here was
drawn on the G. H. Morrow Con-
struction Company, Detroit, while
other checks repeatedly passed by
Lassen were forged Greyhound
Bus Line refunds, Chief Thorn
stated.
The Sandusky police believe
Lassen is the eighth person ar
rested in the forgery syndicate
which the FBI said covered ten
states.
Fred G. Detlefsen, Sandusky,
repeatedly head of the ring, is be-
ing held in Erie county Jail under
$4,000 bond on four counts of
forgery and counterfeiting. Fed
eral charges against him are
pending.
Others in the case were ar
rested in Decatur, Indiana, and

OPTICAL SHOP AT DEPOT CROWS
into IMPORTANT ARMY AIDE

The Optical Shop of Erie Ord
nance Depot is celebrating its
third anniversary this month, and
it's third year of successful opera
tion.
From two employees, a corner
of room, and very little equip
ment, this youngest of the shops
at Erie Ordnance Depot, has
grown to employ II workers, six
rooms, and some very fine equip
ment.
The purpose of this shop is the
overhaul and shipment or storage
of all kinds of optical instruments
which are used on present day ar
tillery. At present the Optical
Shop is engaged in overhauling
elbow telescopes, straight tube
telescopes, panoramic telescopes,
fuse settlers, mounts and gunner
quadrants.
An overhaul job on telescope,
for. instance, consists of complete
disassembly, washing and clean
ing of all parts, recementing, re-
assembly, and use of new parts
where needed.
After this overhaul, the tele-
scope is given thorough inspec-
tion, and then are applied the fin
ishing touches-painting, covering
of exposed optics with tissues,
and packaging in individual boxes.
Because of the technical and
skilled workmanship required for
repairing optical instruments,
many of the workers in this shop
have attended special training
courses at Frankford Arsenal,
Philadelphia, where is located
ore of the largest optical and fire
control repair shops in the Ord
nance Department.
The ingenuity and resourceful-
ness of employees was utilized in
designing and creating necessary
equipment and fixtures for repair
ing the scopes.
During the past year, the
quarters for the Optical Shop
were enlarged for the second time
since it was started. 1t now con-
sists of six constant temperature
rooms. Two rooms are used for
cleaning the optical glass and for
overhaul. One room is used for
coating, one for cementing, one for
packing, painting and shipping,
and one as machine shop.
Clyde Rider and Godfrey Sutter,
both of Oak Harbor, were the
original employees in this shop,
and are now foreman and chief
inspector, respectively. These two
men designed and built much of
the equipment and fixtures used in
the shop.
Other skilled workers in the
shop are: Paul Stack, Howard
French, Rosella Reitz, Kenneth
Mcclellan, Joseph Mascara and
Ernst Richter, all of Port Clinton;
Thomas Reider and Hazel Sad
doris, Oak Harbor; Evelyn Brun-
over, Tiffin; LaVarn Johns, To-
ledo; Ray Peterson, Lacarne;
Charles Beacerstock, Lakeside;
Isabel Cole, Clyde; Henrietta
Zorn, Gibsonburg; and Walter
Christensen, Catawba Island.
Trainees in the shop at the
present time are Elmer Pigney,
Port Clinton; Frederick Windisch,
Oak Harbor, and Ralph Miller,
Jr., Fremont.

GARDENING OFFERS REWARDS

About this time of the year it is we'll
to urge all readers of The Key West Citi-
zen to consider the possible pleasure to be
obtained from flowers, fruits and vegeta-
bles. 1t is also worth noting that, some
times, such activity can develop monetary
profit
We are not much concerned, in this
article, with the economic gains of gar
dening. There are other values that come
to the individual who seeks to develop
something of beauty and perfection in ac-
cordance with the laws of nature.
There are countless homes in Monroe
County on lots that need the charm that
can come only from well-ajjointed sur
roundings. 1t may take some years to de-
velop an attractive lawn or garden but the
task will bring satisfaction, however long
delayed. Besides, what you do with your
lot will add to the natural beauty of Key
West
When it comes to vegetables garden
ing, one must admit that the process in
wolves work. At the same time, many bus
mess men would be physically benefited
by some exercise. We know, from hearing
them boast, that the amateur gardeners
take as much delight in their prize speei-
mems as fishermen who talk so much about
the lone that got away"

WHAT ABOUT THE PRoBLEMs2

One of the most thoughtful common
taries on the Presidents Legislative pro-
posals was recently made by Walter Lipp-
mann. lie wrote: "Truman's technique is
never 10 deal with problems but only with
the excellent results that would be achi-
eyed II the problems had been solved.
leaving the critic no target to shoot at, no
antagonist to get hold of, only the thin air
to thrash around in"
No one-including the Presidents
most aggressive political OPPONENTS OPP
posed to such generalized goals as better
housing. better health, vastly increased
family income. and happiness and prosper
ity on an almost sublime scale. In fact,
these are goals toward which the nation
has been making consistent and remark
able progress for generations. But what
many people do object to is Mr.. Truman's
belief that the only way to attain these
goals Is 10 let the government do every
thing.
One columnist said acidly that vir-
tually limitless social security" may be
meeeaSary-for the reason that soon the
people will have no money left to do any
thing for themselves! Every time the gov
eminent gives us its own particular ver-
sion u social progress, it digs deep into
our pockets TO pay for it.
As an example, it would certainly be
splendid II everyone had the $4,000 a
wear income the President forecast, for
the future. But it wouldn't help much if
the government took $4,000 of it in taxes.

ARMS TO EuRopE-so WHAT

Eight nations of Western Europe are
soon to begin to receive arms and milf
tary equipment to the value OF DiliiOn
dollars as part of the mutual defense as
sistance program
Before the shipments could begin IN
quantity. the nations were required 70
sign contracts agreeing to conditions laid
down by the United States. Some delay
was experienced because Great Britain
was especially cautious about the gener-
atty of the language and asked ciariIlca-
ton before entering into an agreement.
While officials negotiating the agree
ments have been sympathetic to the Brit
ish concern for precise definition OF re-
sponsibilities, there has been some crlti-
cism of the British position outside official
circles.
The eight countries that will receive
assistance are Belgium, France, Denmark,
Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands and Norway. Behind the
shipments are some general agreements
as to integrated defense. France. it is as
sumed, will bear the main burden at the
beginning of ground operations. Deep-sea
naval operations will be shared by the
United States and Great Britain, The
United States will have the burden of
long-range strategic air warfare. Each ma
ton will be responsible for its internal
security and part of the general air de-
Tense.
There are other matters to be deter
mined, however, including the strategic
plans of battle if war develops with Rus
STA. Where will the Western nations make
a stand in Europe, on the Rhine or some
where else? How will Italy and the Scan
dinavian countries be defended? If this
is successfullw accomplished what would
be the program to bring about the defeat
of Russia if that country engages in an ag-
gressive enterprise?
We ask these questions without inn
plying that the military leaders of the nine
nations involved have ignored them.
One must assume that the questions have
been studied and that competent leaders
have formulated tentative plans. Failure
to promulgate and publish such a strategic
plan does not provide conclusive evidence
that no thinking has been done on the sub
ject and that no provisions have been
made.

regardless of the cost involved.
The lure of easy-to-get beauty is the
bait thrown out to get the cash of millions
of women. They can acquire beauty

times, just by their frame of mind. Be-
