Judge Bailey Awards
Custody Of Two Boys
To Mrs. Kearney

District Court Judge Jennings
Bailey has awarded custody of
two young boys to their mother,
Mrs. Wandajune Kearney, 1445
Ogden street NV, after stating
In written opinion that they
will be better off with her than
they are now while living with
neither parent. !
Judge Bailey had taken the
custody question Of the two boys.
Michael, 8, and Philip. 6, under
advisement on December % fol-
lowing trial of the custody fight.
His decision came yesterday.
Mrs. Kearney's husband, Michael
M. Kearney, lawyer, who lives
at 1900 F street NV, also had
sought permanent legal custody of
the two boys. Last month, Judge
Bailey dismissed a divorce petition
through which Mr.. Kearney
sought divorce on grounds of de-
sertion and voluntary separation,
leaving the custody question the
sole issue to be decided.
Before yesterdays ruling, Mr..
Kearney had temporary legal
custody of the boys, but they have
been living in a home in Silver
Spring, Md.
"A child needs the care and
association of its own parent" the
court observed. Living apart
from them a child is exposed to
humiliation and embarrassment at
school and with its associates.
$50 while in this case it does not
appear that the mother is an ideal
mother, neither does the father
appear to be an ideal father. On
the whole. I think the children
would be In a much better situa-
ton and their future welfare bet
ter promoted by living with their
mother than living as they are
today"
Judge Bailey ordered Mr.. Kear-
ney to provide for the support of
Mrs. Kearney and the boys.

KILLED IN BOAT
MlSHAP AT ISLE
North Bass Youth Falls Into
Propeller While Helping
Lift Nets

Donald Buddy" Zura. 16, old
est child of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Zura, North Bass, was killed in
stantly Friday morning when he
slipped and fell from a trapnet

boats propeller.

BROWN PURCHASES GRAVEL BAR
TO DEVELOP HUGE YACHT BASIN

The East End Of East Harbor
has been purchased by William
r. Brown of Lakeside from the
Harbor Improvement Company, 20
be developed into a lakefront al
lotment and a yacht basin. The
purchase includes about three
quarters of a mile of The Gravel
Bar and about 65 acres of marsh
land.
The Gravel Bar has some very
choice building lots where one
can have Lake Erie in front and
a boat house in back, in one of
the quietest harbors in Lake Erie.
The development will be known
as "The Gravel Bar Yacht Basin
and Allotment. From its poten-
tial possibilities for development
and what it will mean in the fu-
ture, this development is the big
gest thing to hit the Peninsula
and Vacationland Area because it
will make this area the boating
mecca of Lake Erie; a place
where lighthouses can be built in
which to keep ones boat and store
it in the winter. Boats and boat
ing are attracted to this area be-
cause of it's proximity to the ISL
ands, resorts and fishing grounds.
Mr.. Brown states that the
marshland will be developed into
a system of lagoons that will
lend themselves to the erection
of docks and lighthouses for pleas
ure boat and which, when fully de-
veloped, will house about 900
boats ranging in size from out
boards to palatial yachts. The
la,goons will be developed in par
cells to meet the demand for fa-
cilities and will probably take 10
to Is years for full development.
The Gravel Bar will be reached
by a new road to be built through
the property of DR.. James Mer-
lin dliQ a. SduoCWdy dSIOoo thC
harbor.
The Brown interests have found
it necessary to go into this de-
velopment to provide housing,
docking and mooring space to
further the sale of boats in their
boat selling business. Harbor
and dock space has suddenly
reached a premium because of the
increased popularity of boating
as an outdoor recreation and es-
pecially in this vacation area.
The West End of East Harbor
was purchased few years ago
by the Conservation Department
of the State Of Ohio and has been
made into The East Harbor State
Park which has proved so popu-
lar the last few years.
Mr.. Brown says that there will
not be any docking facilities there
this year as it will take a year
to get the development started to
provide any accommodations.
