Two Governors

Two Governors
 What the governor of Soutn Carolina said to the governor Of North Carolina is now a legend of the south. No legend as yet, however, is what the governor of South Carolina said to the governor of Georgia when he called him up privately this week.
 The governor of South Carol ina. No. l Dixiecrat Strom Thur mond, happens to be cousin Of the governor of Georgia, Herman Talmadge. And the initial reason for calling was to invite Talmadge to the southern governors confer ence at Fort Sumter in November, when Gen. Lucius Clay of Atlanta is scheduled to speak.
 After issuing this invitation, Governor Thurmond asked: Flows everything down there?"
 Fine" replied cousin Herman. My farms fine. But the niggers are trying to take over our schools down here"
 He referred to the fact that negroes have now brought court action under Supreme Court ruling against segregation, and are trying to enter white grade schools.
 Most of the white people, " added Governor Talmadge, "are oil- ing up their rifles and shotguns."
 Governor Thurmond remarked that he didn't think the colored folks would be able to win their i battle.
 Hell" replied Talmadge, T am ready to spend $10,O0O,0OO to fight this if I have to-"
 Note-the incident illustrates a situation little realized in the north, that racial feeling in Georgia has reached a high point as a result of the court action to abolish seg- regation in the Atlanta schools.

generals. while It. Gen. George Stratemyer, Air Force Chief in the Far East, has complained privately to General Macarthur against the Navy. Finally, Adm. Forrest Sher- man, Chief of Naval Operation has stepped in with stern orders to Rear Adm. Ed Even in Korea to stop criticizing the Air Force.
 The boys in the Pentagon are trying to shush up the squabble but here is what happened.
 Navy pilots teed off the argu- ment by complaining to newsmer that carrier planes weren't getting a fair crack at Korean targets They wanted more cracks at the enemy and blamed the Air Force which has been directing the Kor- can air war.
 While it is true that carrier pilots have been forced to wait for targets, the fact is that the skies over Korea have been so over- crowded with planes, that botF Navy and Air Force pilots have had to stack up in the air waiting for assignments. Also it has beer difficult to fit carrier pilots into the bombing pattern, because theil floating carrier bases shift up anc down the Korean coast.
 This friction simmered quietl! for a while. Then it hit the boil ing point when the Navy leaked a story to the press that tn Marines moved faster and sui fered fewer casualties at Chinju because their air support was bet ter than the Army's. The trutl was exactly the opposite. Flo Army units. fighting side by sid with the Marines, had lighter cas ualties and actually had to wal for the Marines to catch up.
 Other news stories debunked tht Air Forces F-80 jet fighter, bu uttered not single unkind wort against the Navy's Panther je fighter-though both planes are al most identical.

IA Lakeside & Marblehead r.
r. Cars Jump Track In
Thursday Mishap

No one was injured late Thurs
day when ID steel freight cars of
the Lakeside and Marblehead Rail-
road were thrown crosswise of the
tracks and damaged when a car
jumped the tracks near Violet,
Church Road, Danbury township,
five miles east of here.
Loaded with stone, the cars
were part of a 62-car train. Lake
side and MarbIehead Railroad Off
cials have not determined cause of
the accident, although it is believ-
ed that a broken rail was re-
sponsible.
A New York Central wrecker
and crew helped to clear up the
wreckage so that traffic could be
resumed over the weekend.
The Lakeside and Marblehead
Railroad operates from Marble
head to the New York Central
junction at Danbury and its chief
cargo is stone from the Kelley

Wage Boost For All City
Workers

A request from street depart
ment workers for an increase in
pay from the present $1.08 hour
ly base to $1.25 hourly was dis
cussed in city council chambers

asked that the increase be effec-
trye as of August /.
After discussion, the council
men tabled the request as they
decided any possible wage in
crease should be for all city work
ers and that such an increase
would necessitate further study.

BUMPER WHEAT.
HARVEST Seen
in THIS COUNTY
Bob Heinsen's Crop Averages
45 Bushels To Acre,
Elevator Reports

If weather conditions cooperate
Ottawa County's wheat harvest
should be another bumper crop ac-
cording to reports from the Lund~
gard Elevator and the 10 other
elevators in the county.
Loads of wheat are lined up
daily at elevators here and in
Rocky Ridge, Elliston, Genoa,
Graytown, Curtice, Trowbridge,
Elmore and the three in Oak
Harbor. Trucks, tractors, wagons,
and other vehicles are used to
haul the golden harvest to the
granaries.
Yields in this area have been
above average this year, although
moisture content has hurt. Mon
days rain added to the moisture
content and decreased the weight.
Harvest in the surrounding area
is about half completed, and the
farmers are hoping for no more
rain until the harvest is over.
Thus far, seven carloads of
wheat have been shipped from the
Lundgard Elevator and other loads
are awaiting arrival of more rail-
road cars. Last year Is carloads
were shipped, and this years har-
vest should surpass the 1949 to-
tai.
Best individual yield reported
thus far was from the Robert
Heinsen farm, Bay Shore Road,
where his harvest averaged IS
bushels to the acre. The average
run is from 25 to 40 bushels per
acre.
With the modern threshers
speeding up harvest work today,
the popular threshing parties of
yesterday are no more. Farmers
wives no longer prepare bounteous
meals for 80 or 40 neighbors as
such crews are not needed In this
mechanized age.

BUMPER CHERRY
CROP HARVEST
ENDS SUNDAY
Crews To Leave For North
port To Process Large
Michigan Crop

Workers at the Gypsum Can
ming Company We're nearly
swamped with cherries Wednes
day when an avalanche of the lus-
cious, red fruit was brought in
from the company's huge orch
ards near Bellevue.
With an assist from Mother
Nature, the local company is pro-
cessing about one million pounds
Of cherries here this month. This
is three times the total canned
last year, when only 100000
pounds passed through the wash
ers, pitters, inspection tables and
canning equipment.
Local housewives may purchase
fresh pitted cherries by the
pound, at the canning factory in
South Railroad Street, or may
purchase canned cherries by the
case.
Most of the cherries from local
independent growers have been
processed, but fruit from inde-
pendent growers in Medina Coun-
ty swelled the red avalanche early
this week.
r. A. Rice, manager of the
Gypsum Canning Company, was
in Northport, Michigan, early this
week, supervising the beginning
of the sweet cherry pack at the
company's plant in that city.
Operations are expected to be
completed here by Sunday, wher
rs pickers from the Bellevue orch,
ards and dozen key workers
from the local plant will be tax
en- to Northport to help harves'
the bumper crop in Michigan
Sweet cherries are ready for can
ming there now, with the soul
cherry crop to ripen later.

PLAN AIRPORT
WORK TO Level
R 0 U G H FIELD
Hershberger Gets Permission
To Move CAA Bldg. For
Waiting Room

Port Clintons municipal airport
received bulk Of attention Tues
day night at the regular council
meeting, and as a result, the air.
port will undergo a face-lifting
operation within the next few
weeks.
John Zetzer of the Port Clinton
Manufacturing Company, who op-
crates a private hangar at the air
port, complained that deep ruts
throughout the field were causing
private fiiers to use airports in
other cities and Port Clinton thus
was losing tourist funds.
Zetzer said one plane had dam
aged it's tail while landing here
recently and that another pilot
had moved his plane to Toledo be-
cause the local field is too rough.
Milton Hershberger of the ISL
and Always was present and
confirmed letters complaint.
After lengthy discussion, coun-
cilmen approved a plan to send
one man from the street depart
ment crew to use the street grad
er, disc and other equipment on
the airport field. Such work will
probably take six weeks but should
make the field level once again..
Hershberger was also given
permission to move the former
CAA building to the south side
of the airport, where it will be
used as q waiting room near Route
2. He is to pay for the work
which is to conform with health
and water regulations.
Hershberger said the waiting
station is necessary as many
plane passengers must stand ir
the rain or cold weather while
awaiting buses or other transpor.
tation.
Federal aid work at the airport
is expected to get underway soor
as the state highway department
has granted permission to connect
with present drainage facilities
An agreement with the U. S
Gypsum Company is now awaited

Tax Collection
Totals S78O,612

Total collection of real estate
taxes during the year which has
just ended was $780,612.88 as re-
ported by county treasurer, d. l..
Cullenen. This was $134, ,082.0S
over the collection for the year
ending in collections for 1949,
when $646, ,530.80 was the amount
reported.

treasurer's department for collec-
tion during the past year was
1923, ,603.28, leaving 2,990.40
as delinquent or uncollected tax
es.
Part of the increase in collec-
tions for the past year is report
ed due to higher valuations and
also to the large number of water
front properties which have been
plated where lots are being sold
for summer or permanent homes.
