3-DAy HUNT At
MACEE YIELDS
ga DUCKS

Hunters at the Magee Marsh
state controlled waterfowl hunt
ing area have established terri
fic record during the early days
of the 1851 season.
After three hunting days 90
hunters bagged total C 234
ducks. The opening day hunters
bagged sc ducks out of a posi-
BILE take of 80. On Tuesday, Oct
%, SO ducks were taken, with the
most allowable being 96, and on
Wednesday, Oct. "a total of 81
ducks were bagged out of pos
sible 96.
Black ducks and mallards made
up the majority of the ducks
taken, however, some baldpates,
pintaiIs and gadwall in goodly
numbers have been registered
through the checking station. Il
cold wave which has been moving
southwark from Canada should
make waterfowl shooting i'll Ohio
even better in the future.
Reports from East Harbor and
the island waterfowl hunting
areas have been only fair

operation of the airport is neces-
sary due to a misunderstanding
as to the terms of such bids.
Under the bid which we made
the city will receive $50O0.00 at the
rate of 100000 a year, in advance,
the first 100000 having been
rendered with the bid
Under the other bid the city
will receive $4,000 for one year
unless the net profit of the bidder
amounts to more than 100000,
and to equal the 100000 payable
under our bid the operations OF
the other bidders would have to
net $20,000.00 per year.
All parties seem to agree that
hard surfaced runways are the
only solution of the problem as to
the use of the field by small
planes and, as in the past, we are
willing to cooperate in every way
to secure such runways. However,
until such time as hard surfaced
runways are laid, we suggest that
we would be willing to keep our
operations off strip 1900 feet
long and $50 feet wide along the
west side of the airport running
from the north end of the field TO
the hangars at all times that such
strip would be soft. Small planes
can land during wet weather on
the north end of the field and that
would provide a taxi strip to the
unloading area. We would be
willing to plainly mark this taxing
strip at our expense. The fund
already raised for the purpose OF
runways is under the control OF
the Airport Committee and we
would, of course, be satisfied to
have the Committee use any part
of such funds for such improve
ments as the Committee deems
advisable.
Naturally we are very interest
ed in not having our operations
to and from the Islands jeopar-
died. In order to render the
service which we have in the past
and which we believe have been
and will be of great value to the
City of Port Clinton, Ohio, as well
as to the Islands, it is necessary
that we fly whether or not the
field is soft.
We are anxious, of course, to CO.
operate with the city and small
plane owners to make our airport
the best possible. We believe that
this end would be served best by
the acceptance by Council of our
bid for the operation of the air
port, which we believe is the high
est and best bid offered.

Hunters Cautioned
To See Landowners

Hunters ! It's only a few
days to the opening of the 1851
Ohio small game season. Do you
know where you are going to
hunt?
If you haven't seen the land
owner yet, and haven't made his
acquaintance = Do 1t Now. Don't t
wait until the opening day of the
season.
See the farmer or landowner
now Discuss with him his parti-
cular problems and desires for
hunting on his lands. Assure him
that his fences will be respected,
gates closed and that fields Of
standing grain will not be violat-
ed.
Doing this will not only en-
hance your chances for good
hunting this year, but will clear
the way for hunting in the future
Good farmer-sportsmen rela-
tions is the key to future good
hunting in the state of Ohio.
If you haven't picked out a
place to hunt on privately owned
lands or unable to obtain permis-
sion for such hunting, don't for
get that there are SO public
hunting preserves scattered in the
state, where you may hunt with
out permission. Only a few of
these areas require that you reg
ister before going onto the fields.

served as end coach since last
spring. He is history teacher
and former football coach 81
Waite. He resigned last March tC
take up his TU duties. He was 3
candidate to coach the newly or
ganized Macomber high school
team, but Withdrew because he
was satisfied with his assistant
metor job at TU.
He told neWsmen that the ap-
pointment was complete STU
prise to him and that he had nc
knowledge that there had been
great discomfort over manage
ment of the TU squads through
the past year.
Greenwood contended that he
was not properly supported by
the TU athletic board, was discon
tented with his play, and lack OF
cooperation by athletic officials.
He charges that the U squads are
demoralized by illegal fouls
which are not protested. He cites
the Bowling Green battle as a
classic example of manifold abus-
es which are not given official at
tention.
Dunn is the father Of two Chill
dren.

Funeral Services Held For
 Famed "Nanuk" Survivor

SEATTLE, Aug. 8, (P)-Funeral services were held today for the ''Nanuk" girl who won the atten- ton of the world in 1929 when she and her father were marooned nine months in an ice-bound yes sel off the Siberian coast.
 She was Mrs. Essler Ferguson, 39, the former Marion L. Swan son, who died in a hospital here Saturday.
 She was 17-year-old high school girl when she and her father, the late Capt. Olaf Sven son, Seattle fur trader, embarked on the trading schooner Nanuk for the Siberian Arctic. It was the first time a girl had made the Arctic trip.
 On September Is, 1929, the Nan uk became frozen fast off North Cape, Siberia. In March, 1880, she and her father finally returned to Seattle by plane and ship.

Soldiers Stationed In Aleutian Islands Had Fewer Mental BreakdOWnS

SEATTLE, (P) Second World War soldiers stationed in the bleak Aleutian Islands had fewer mental breakdowns than their comrades elsewhere.
 Dr. Charles H. Jones, superin- tendent of Northern State Hos pital at Sedro-Wooley, attacked a common belief among servicemen when he set forth the above fact in an article for the current issue of Disease of the Nervous SyS- tem," a medical journal.
 During the war, the average Serviceman had the same feeling toward Atka, Adak, Amchitka, Shemya or Attu as a Russian would have toward a Siberian labor camp.
 That is, until he got there, ac- cording to Dr. Jones, who for Is months was the only psychiatrist on the island of Shemya. He was a major in the Army Medical Corps.
 He said the old timers immedi- ately would convince newcomers that conditions used to be worse. This approach seemed to work wonders in keeping the mental disability rate low, he said.
 On any day during the war, an average of 0.6 per cent of the total army was confined to a hos pital or quarters for neuropsy- chiatric reasons. On Shemya, the average was only 01 percent.
 Personal prestige rested solely on the length of time a soldier had spent on one of the small, barren islands, he said.
