HarbOr Manufacturing Co.
Moving Into The Multi
plex Bldg.

Present plans for the Harbor
Manufacturing Company point to
occupancy of its new quarters in
the Multiplex Company building
in Oak Harbor next week.
Purchase of the Mill street
building was announced last week
by c. E. Augsbaugh, president.
who said selection of Oak Harbor
as site for its operations was
primarily based on availability
of the desirable type of building
which was required.
He asserted that advantages
of setting up an industry in q
small town are great, it being
easier for a company to integrate
itself with a community of this
type" Augsbaugh added that
another factor in the company's
selection of Oak Harbor for its
establishment "is the friendly and
cooperative attitude of the busi-
ness and of professional people
of the city"
The new industrial unit will
manufacture fiberglass fabrica-
ton for automotive and aviation
industries, and eventually will
process paper liners for foreign
and domestic shipping.

January Set Aside
For Farm Safety

Praise for safety work perform.
ed by Ohio farm families was eX-
pressed this week by W. e
Stuckey, Extension farm safety
specialist at Ohio State Univer>
sity. Credit for a marked dc
crease in farm accidents was Civ
en- to Ohio, farm people as well
as the organizations they repre-
sent.
Getting the coming year off -
a good start is the proclamation
by Governor Frank j. Lausche
which makes January Farm and
Home Safety Mobilization Month
"Care a Lot and Save a Tot" Is
the slogan being emphasized.
Stuckey points out that the
proclamation urges special en-
phasis in preventing accidents
with children. More children be
tween the ages, l to IA, are killed
IN accidents than die from sis
leading childhood diseases. Ii
l948, six leading diseases took
l0,401 lives of children. During
he same year, accidents killed
l0,741 children.
During the past four years
Q percent of the fatal accidents
TO farm people occurred to chill
lren IA years of age or under.
Stuckey says.
