PORT CLIN TO N

DECLARED FALSE

Two historical authorities on
founding of Port Clinton have
been challenged by May Hessel-
bart, curator at the Port Clinton
Museum, in forthcoming manu-
script dealing with the early be-
glnnings of the community which
she is compiling.
The manuscript, she says, was
prepared primarily to prove when
and by whom Port Clinton was
founded ,and to clarity the date
OF a famed shipwreck which has
confused past historians.
Quoting the WPA writer's in
the Ohio Guide Q940) and Ohio's
Lake Erie Vacationland Q94D
Port Clinton began by accident"
Vacationland giving the year 1927
and Ohio Guide, 1923, when a
boat carrying Scotch immigrants
was wrecked off shore at this
point. The survivors pulled land
ward, and being unable to con-
tinue the voyage, set about Great
ing homes in the virgin wilder
ness. AT this time there we're
no towns or villages in Ottawa
county," Vacationland declared.
Taking it up from there, Miss
Hesselbart declared, True, there
were no towns in Ottawa county
at that time for the reason that
Ottawa was not formed until
March 6, 1910. This district lay
in Sandusky county, and Port
Clinton was legally founded eight
years before the Scottish were
supposed to have been shipwreck-
ed near shore"

ATTORNEY has 8
MILLION CLIENTS

Can you visualize the smile of
contentment on the face of a
young lawyer who has just awak-
ened from dream in which eight
million clients were clamoring to
pay him fees?
Well, Ohio has an attorney with
that many clients and you are one
of them. But all you pay him
is approximately one-tenth of a
cent a year He is c. William
Billy O'Neill, your attorney gen
eral.
O'Neill is the states lawyer, and
as you are part of the state he,
therefore, is your lawyer. But he
cannot represent you personally
in any of your private troubles.
Neither can he prosecute you
FOR any misdeed unless he is di-
lected to do so by the governor.
Among his principal duties are
to advise the hundreds of state
officials as to what they can or
cannot do in their official capaci-
ties, to defend their actions in the
courts and to institute court pro-
ceedings to compel compliance
with their orders.
He also is the legal advisor to
all the 88 county prosecuting at
torneys en- matters arising in con
nection with their official duties

Washington clearly recognized
that this nation could not live

He foresaw the necessity of "Har-

Car-Stopping Space
Confusing To Many

An inquiring reporter recently
asked a number of motorists if
they could stop their car in Is or
20 feet when travelling 20 miles
an hour. Almost two-thirds of
them thought they could. Then
he asked quite few pedestrians
how quickly they thought a car
at that speed could be stopped.
A majority believed that stops
could be made within a car length!
Actually car will travel almost
three car lengths from the time
an emergency arises until a COM
plete halt is reached. That is with
a speed of 20 miles an hour, dry
pavement in good condition, and
brakes and tires in proper shape.

Legume Seeding
Assurance Explained
BY Fred Grimm, County Agent
(No. l of two articles)

(No. l of two articleS)
At this time of the year farm
erS ask about what kind of alfai-
ia seed to buy. There is no one
answer, but attention to few
items should pay dividends.
Getting seed with high germi-
nation and free of weed seed is
important. II is true we have
laws governing such matters, but
check that tag anyway. Weed seeds
do creep in in spite of state laws.
Adapted varieties are import
ant too. Most authorities say
that southern varieties are bad
for our area. Some of the COM
mon varieties and Grimm alfalfa
! are all right where stand is only
wanted for two or three years.
There are cases where person
wants a stand to last four or more
years either from the standpoint
of saving labor or because the hay
goes to an alfalfa dehydrator. In
such cases a farmer should use
Ranger, Buffalo, Hardigan or At
lantic. 1t is true they will cost
little more, but are worth the
difference. Generally these varie.
ties are more disease resistant.
/ Not many farmers buy certified
red clover seed, but we mention
two good varieties for this area.
/ They are Van FoSsen and Mid
land. Both of these clovers will
grow better and produce more
hay per acre.
Next week we plan another ar
ticle about seeding methods. II
should be mentioned here that
there is an alfalfa nursery project
of the Ohio Experiment Station
growing in Ottawa county. The
nursery contains 80 different al.
falfa varieties and is on land own.

Toledo would benefit from the

the Seaway was opened, more and

American shipping by not build

subjects. The students are allowed
to work on any project as long as it
is useful. Many make tables, dress

types OF cabinet work. On the
latheS are made lamps. ash trays,
fishing rod handles, billy clubs,
and any other article that strikes

purchased from lumber yards,

lathes is obtained from trees in
