Kiwanians Hear Hopkins

Charles Hopkins of the dis
trict health department talked
to the Kiwanis Club this week
about his work as an amateur
or gem cutter. He said
that amateurs in this field get
their stone in bulk from dealers
and fashion gems by the use Of
special saws, polishing wheels,
and other tools. There is a great
deal of gem material in west
en North Carolina, DR.. Hopkins
said, but apparently not a great
deal of any one kind.

POssum Experts Hold Series of Conventions
On Sidewalk in Front of Huggins' Hardware

A series of conventions Of pos
sum experts convened all day
Saturday on the sidewalk in
front of the Higgins Hardware
Store for an evaluation Of the
merits of the old SOW possum
and her ten rat-sized offspring
on display in the store window.
Hunters, country people in for
Saturday shopping, woods-wise
old Negroes, town dwellers who
had once caught a possum in
their garbage can or henhouse,
amateur naturalists, genuine
biologists from the University
in fact, everybody who had ever
had any dealings whatsoever
with possums, took the occasion
to trade notes and experiences.
It was probably the greatest ex-
change of possum lore in the
history Of the village.
The possums in the window
belonged to DR.. M. r. Evans,
the dentist. He had captured the
adult about three months ago
on his bird feeding shelf at his
home on East Franklin street
and had put her in a pen for fat
tening for the table. One day six
weeks later when he looked into
the pen eleven pairs of beady
eyes returned his stare. It was
the first time he even knew the
possum was a female, much less
an expectant one.
A mother possum, like a
kangaroo, mas a pouch in which
it carries its young. A newborn
possum, about the size of a
small peanut kernel, attaches
itself to a teat inside the pouch
and stays there till its living
quarters become overcrowded, a
condition not likely to be long
delayed for a litter of ten.
DR.. Evans's young possums
were the size of mice the first
time he knew they existed. They
had come out of the pouch and
we're crawling around on their
mothers back. They have grown
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1950-05-19

to their present size in the last
three weeks and are tame and
like to be petted or allowed to
climb up their handlers arms.
But the adult remains wild and
will try to bite anybody who
touches her.
The possums we're placed
temporarily in a box in the
stores warehouse after they
were removed from the window.
The mother glared up belliger-
emily, with fangs barred, at an
intruder who peered into the
box. But pair after pair of beady,
unblinking little eyes, with
twinkling red noses and big
comical ears to match, gazed up
inquiringly at the visitor.
DR.. Evans says he intends to
release the entire family soon.

Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1950-06-16
New Population Figure Is Be-
lieved Too Low; Many
Changes Contemplated
Port Clinton is a city!

Port Clinton is city!
It's taken 122 years for our
community to progress from a
tiny hamlet to a bustling city,
but it's now official.
Mayor Carl Becker announced
the change yesterday when pre-
liminary report was received from
Charles Gillespie, Lucas-Ottawa
Census Supervisor.
In his preliminary report, Mr..
Gillespie lists Port Clinton's popu-
lation as 5,538 today as compared
with the 1910 census total of 4,505.
A town automatically becomes a
city when it's population surpass-
es the 5000 mark.
Despite the fact that the 1850
census report gives the city
1.033 more residents, nearly ev-
eryone in Port Clinton believes the
population is far too low. Most
people have anticipated a present
pVpuidtlOH IOtd Ol O,OUU.
Not included in the Port Gin
ton figures are nearly 500 persons
who reside in the "new" part of
Erie Gardens, that portion in Ray
Township west of the city's cor
poration line.
While the official change to city
status will not take place until
the May, 1851, election, city of
ficials will be busy planning in
the next few months. There are
several possible changes contem-
plated, but the city manager plan
is not among them.
Among the changes in view are
the employment of full time fire
chief or fireman, change in name
of the city clerk to city auditor,
possible selection of the vice may
or through the councilman who
attains the highest vote in the
election; election, instead of ap-
pointment, of the city solicitor,
and election of councilmen by
wards rather than at large.
I State officials will notify Por.
Clinton officials when the new
population figure becomes off
cial. The city will then gain more
tax funds, but of course expenses
will be higher also.
Under the city charter, residents
of each ward will elect their own
councilman. Thus there will be
several new faces around the
council table next year as Hos
trup, Schaper and Goebel are
from the East end of the city
while Ruddock, Riddle and Nielsen
are from the West end.
Lending strength to the belief
that the census report is far too
low is a report from the Ohio
Edison Company, which has been
using the $500 figure as its poEu-
lation guess.
