Kinney as acting postmaster for
Port Clinton was openly "aired"
by Congressman Tom Burke be-
fore a group Of Democrats at a

congressional hearing, he was mott

BEGIN new Terms
ON Note OF DISC0RD
Slaughter Leaves City Post
After Completing
Three Terms

Port Clinton's city council in
augurated the New Year on note
of disharmony and unfriendliness
at special meeting Tuesday eve
ming when it failed to approve
Mayor Carl Becker's re-appoint-
ment of City Solicitor George w.
Slaughter.
Despite the fact thar i've of the
new councilmen are Democrats,
they would not give the Republican
mayor approval of his re-appoint-
ment of the Democratic solicitor.
A Republican, Atty. John l..
Reinheimer, was the ultimate
choice of the council for the solici-
tors position. He will succeed
Atty. Slaughter, who served two
terms under Democratic Mayor A.
w. Chapman and one term under
Republican Mayor Carl Becker.
City Clerk William l.. Zeis gave
the oath of office Tuesday even
ing when Mayor Becker and the
six councilmen were sworn into
office.
Beginning their two-year terms
this week were incumbents Will
liam Goebel and Harold Nielsen;
former councilmen Torvald Hos
trup and Roland Schaper, and
newcomers Jack Riddle and
Charles Ruddock. Mr.. Schaper
is the only Republican on the
council.
Two weeks ago, at a prelimi-
mary meeting of the new council
officials and Mayor Becker, all
city appointments were approved
with the exception of the solicitor.
Tuesday evening, after the oath
ceremony, Mayor Becker announc-
ed his appointment of Atty.
Slaughter. In so doing, he ex-
pressed his belief that Mr..
Slaughter was familiar with civic
legalities and to continue his ap-
pointment would be an economic
! move.
Councilman William Goebel
made motion to approve Slaugh-
ter's appointment but there was
no second. After further discus
sion, Councilman Schaper second
ed Goebel's motion and vote was
taken.
Councilmen Nielsen, Hostrup,
Riddle and Ruddock voted mo"
and Councilmen Goebel and Scha-
per voted Eyes. A second vote
on the same appointment was
taken after further discussion,
and the same Az disapproval re-
suited.
Vice-Mayor Harold Nielsen
made a motion to approve the ap-
pointment Of Atty. Reinheimer as
city solicitor. This motion was
approved Al with Goebel refusing
to vote.
Tom Gaudern was appointed as
harbor master, succeeding Dave
Jeremy who has held the position
for many years. Both are Re.
publicans.

This Week in the Garden

Sow seeds of the annual candy
tuft in bed or border where they
are to bloom. If sown at this sea-
son, the candytuft will flower in
May-July, whereas seed planted in
April may be expected to produce
flowers in the July-September
period Next spring thin the young
plants to four to six inches. The
seed should not be covered deeply
.-ls inch is ample. Spread COM
post or other material over the
freshly seeded bed to prevent the
soil from crusting.
Now that tulip planting is here
it is we'll to remember that the
larger the size of bulb of a given
variety the longer it will give good
service. Normally a tulip bulb lasts
three years. but a small bulb will
seldom produce worthwhile results
even the first year. Very few tulip
varieties will improve in size and
beauty in this area. They normal
ly deteriorate, hence it pays to
plant only the largest and finest.
This rule does not apply to other
kinds of bulbs since, even the
hyacinth, as hard as it Is to
grow them, will persist and last
many years with good care.
Most gardeners are inclined to
plant their bulbs in straight rows
and lose much of their showiness.
For best effects, plant in groups
OF 10 to Is so that the colors will
be massed. five should be the
smallest grouping where color is
desired.
In planting bulbs remember the
old gardeners rule: Shallow plant
ing for rapid multiplication, deep
planting for long-life. Deep plant
ing in a deeply and we'll prepared
soil produces the tallest and fin
est bloom.
Most gardeners are disguised
with the short life of hyacinth
bulbs. This is usually because
they plant the exhibition type of
flower, which is most subject to
disease, although producing the

heavy-headed spikes Of bloom
that look SO attractive in the
catalogues. Such bulbs should be
dug almost before the foliage dies
down in the early summer, dried
and stored in a dry, airy place
during the summer.
For a semi-permanent planting
in the border, and then only in a
well-drained soil, it is best to use
the Roman" hyacinths. They
are a specially developed type,
suited to such use. The blooms
are not so large and the f1orets
not so thick, hence the blooms
are not so likely to topple over in
a rainstorm.
Constant rains and cool weather
have ruined many fine dahlia
blooms. The judges at the Be-
thesda Chevy Chase Harvest
Show often awarded the blue rib
bon to the least damaged bloom.
Mildew has been rampant in
many gardens-it thrives in this
kind of weather. Many ANIMALS
and perennials are subject to
mildew-which gives a grayish
appearance to the leaves, followed
by browning and blackening be-
fore they die. Sulphur. either
dust or spray. is the best control.
The fall-fiowering native mist
flower, commonly called perennial
ageratum, is not an ageratum, in
spite of the close resemblance. 1t
is Eupatorium botanical1y speak
ing and a weed from this garden
er's viewpoint. They must be
vigorously controlled to be kept
in bounds. Never plant the mist
flower perennial ageratum) in a
rock garden because it spreads by
underground roots which are diff
cult to eradicate. The mlstflower
grows to Is inches or more in
height, whereas most varieties Of
ageratum are less than IL inches.
The ageratum flowers over a long
season. whereas the mistfower
blooms in September.

Gardeners who have paintings

shade and moisture for success
but do their best when the tenn

of rapidly disappearing game,
but no more deserving species
remains alive today than the Key
deer, and no other is so critically
in need of a helping hand, No
other occupies so distinctive and
unique an environment or so
limited habitat.
Refugee Manager Gerald F.
Baker Reports
That an adult deer, killed on
the Big Pine Key recently, meas
ured an overall length of 80
inches, and 20 inches high at
the shoulder. The estimated
weight was between forty and
fifty pounds.
Bakers report shows further
that it has been the practice of
Key West residents to put dogs
on the outlying Keys, where they
chase the deer to a point of ex-
haustion, finally forcing them in
the water where they are easily
killed from boats. Other methods
of hunting reported by Mr.. sBak-
er is fire lighting at night, and
by burning areas to provide con-
centrations. The new growth on
recently burned areas are ex-
tremely attractive to deer. This
! year-round menace has been
compensated somewhat by resi-
dents living in the area and bv
Patrolmen of the u. S. Fish and
WIldlife Service whose migratory
bird refuge takes in a small por-
ton of the Key deer range.
Solution
Outright ownership and per
manent setting aside of the To-
600 acres involved for exclusive
use OF the Key deer is minimum
premise on which the salvation
OF the deer must depend. Ii is
drawing close to the time when
action viii be too late, and ii is
greatly hoped that some groups
! among those interested ia the
preservation Of the vanishing
species will figure out some way
in which this objective can be ac-
complished.
Its Up To Us
Whether taking In the area of
10000 acres as stated in the memo
from James Silver is the solution
I'm not quite sure. There certain
~ would be no necessity for this
at the present time if hunters us
ing the Key area would bear in
mind that each time a deer is
killed it means Just that much
less chance of populating the
area, Bear in mind also the re-
port states not more than fifty
deer are left on the Key TODAY.
A true sportsman knowing this
condition exists would institute
conservation laws of his own to
protect them. It's up to us. Then
II we see this area is becoming
