LAY FISHING
BOAT EXPL0DES
IN SANDUSkY

A crewman was seriously in
jured when an explosion blew the
Lay Fisheries boat, "Big Chief" to
bits while she was lying in her
Sandusky berth Wednesday morn
ing.
The victim, Roy Sheppard,
chief mechanic for the fishery
boat line, was removed to Mem
orial Hospital suffering from
face cuts, burns about his body
and internal injuries.
The blast which was set off
while the craft was being fueled
from the pier, was so intense
that it damaged the nearby Vet
erans of Foreign Wars building
and was felt throughout the
downtown district.
Persons living in the Bay
Bridge area, four miles west re-
ported hearing the blast.
Extent of damage was not de-
termined by Jack Lay, of the
Port Clinton Fish company, who
was in Erie, Pa, at the time of
the explosion.

APPLE STORAGE
LIGHTER Than
1850 IN OHIO

Apple growers have fewer ap-
pies in cold storage now than
they did a year ago, according to
Vernon Patterson, extension hor-
ticulturist at Ohio State Univer-
sity.
Patterson and R. C. Scott, agri-
cultural economist, point out that
apple storage holdings were heav-
ier November l, 1850, than they
we're November l, this year. Scott
says, Last year, prices did not
increase appreciably after No
vember l. In many cases they
were lower at the end Of the sea-
son than they were when growers
were storing apples" !"
Indications now are that the
situation this year is different.
Apples in storage in the United
States on October 81 reached 26.3
million bushels. This is % per
cent less than the "a million
bushels in storage on October 81
1850. 1t is II per cent less than
the 1860 average of 31.7 mil
lion bushels.
In Ohio, apples in storage were
8 per cent greater than holdings
year ago. The 433,000 bushels
in Ohio storage on October 81
were down per cent from 1916
80 average, however.

YOUNG MARTIN
farmer LEADS
IN SOIL SAVING

A 17-year-old Ottawa county
farmer has the distinction of be-
ing named top Ohio winner in the
1851 National Soil and Water Con-
servation contest.
He is Doyle F. Sommer, son OF
Otto P. Sommer, of Martin, O.,
who will now receive gold watch
in addition to a gold filled medal
which he previously won for his
outstanding work in primary soil
conservation.
Last year young Sommer rented
a farm of poor soil and rough
terrain. The tillable soil was
hard packed and poor producer
of alfalfa and clover stands, and
it lacked nutrition.
Up to the present time Somner
has filled in low burrows and wa
ter troughs on % acres of the
farm and has added many tons of
lime and fertilizer. All barren
areas are in cover crops and has
fenced in all the wooded sections,
providing adequate wildlife shell
ter. 1t required 5000 tile to drain
the numerous wet spots on the
spraWling acreage.
Observers predict that this rent
ed farm will become one of the
outstanding conservation testing
acreages in the Buckeye state,
within a few years.

Legislative Approval OF
Ohio Turnpike Amendment
Foreseen By Rep. Reider

Quick approval of an amend
ment to correct Ohio's turnpike
law was predicted today by Ottawa
countys representative, Robert w.
Reider.
Rep. Reider said that the Gen
eral Assembly, called back into
special session next Monday by
Governor Lausche, probably will
complete the job in one day.
Recalling that he had opposed
the turnpike law when it was en-
acted with only four votes to
spare in 1948, Rep. Reider said
that conditions have changed
vastly in the past three years and
l believe that it is now in the
public interest to build the turn
pike as speedily as possible"
The Ottawa county legislator
said that completion of Pennsyl-
vania's turnpike to the Ohio line
is forcing the state to act.
Either we must build our own
turnpike with revenue bonds or
the state of Ohio will be forced
to spend millions of dollars it does
not have available to handle the
traffic overflow that Pennsylva-
MIA is dumping across the state
line," he said.
"If the state is forced to build
new highways to meet this situa-
ton, higher taxes will be forced
on the public; it appears that a
self-supporting turnpike is the
only practical solution" Rep.
Reider added.
The local legislator expressed
doubt that the meldment to be
considered in the special session
could muster the 80 votes re-
quired as an emergency. Sixty
eight votes are needed for normal
passage.

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

This is the season when the
poor old elbows and heels begin
to show the effects of winter
winds and cold weather unless
you have taken special care of
them. Many a lovely looking lady
looks less so because of rough
elbows peeping out above long
gloves or below short sleeves.
There are certain routines which
will be very helpful in overcom-
ing darkened and roughened skin.
In the first place, if you do not

will tell you that precious or
semi-precious stones never be-
come second hand"
That's where we come in with
the business of something old
in something new"
If Grandfather's beautiful
diamond stickpin was handed
down to granddaughter as a
gift (there perhaps being no
grandson to give it to), she could
very easily have it redesigned
into an attractive scatter pin, a
clip. a charm for a bracelet. pin,
earrings. or more ideally into a
diamond clasp for her pearls.
Another popular utilization of
old stones is to have them placed
in a handsome watch case.
Grandmother's lavaliere might
be fashioned into a striking pin
pendant. In many instances
many old jewelry items can be
redesigned into new pieces with
out breaking up the old piece at
all. A large cluster of stones in

reworked into modern sun

perhaps the entire old setting.
1t is the ornateness of old
time jewelry pieces that fire.
quently makes them obsolete.
Our modern trend, which is a
reflection of our times, is toward
simpler and more tailored and
practical designs. But should a
flash" piece-to use the jewel
er's parlance-be desired, that,
too, can be worked out for a GUS
toner.
This type of work naturally
falls into the custom made class.
A great deal of the beauty of
the cuStom-made article is that
its design has taken into consid-
Grafton personal preference and
the fact that there will be no
duplication. This is very true
in the redesigning of old-time
Jewelry since there are seldom
two pieces alike because few set
tings and stones were similar.
Using the precious gems Of
your old jewelry in new designs
does not mean that the mount
ing becomes worthless. Old
mountings are usually turned
in for credit or frequently may
be utilized in the new design
itself. Speaking of mountings,
the old-time Tiffany settings
with their exposed prongs are
in the largest group to be
changed. This setting frequently
did great deal of damage in
tearing a veil, stockings, and
often sheer dress. ,.
Mr.. John Shaw, jr., who ex-
planned most of this told me
that even a semi-precious stone
such as amethyst, quartz. or
garnet that has been scratched
and which one might think
would be worthless, can often
be polished or recut with little
loss of weight and placed in a
new setting with all the old
sentiment intact.
In dealing with people who
want the magic wand" waved
over their old time jewelry, he
makes rough sketches for them,
first finding out what it is they
DON'T like and what it is they
WOULD like. Sometimes a first
sketch may be okayed but even
if the sketches are as many as
fifteen before a client settles on
what is wanted, Mr.. Shaw insists
that some idea be given as to
how it may eventually turn out.

Ma. .}aople make the mis-
take of eliminating sentiment
from their daily lives because
they feel that it has no place in
a world that is busy meeting
very realistic problems.
Strangely enough. this dim
view of sentiment is seldom true
where jewelry is concerned.
The gift of jewelry is usually
loaded with sentiment, this has
been true for centuries! The
recipient of such a gift usually
becomes very much attached to
it. And the jewel that is handed
down from generation to gen.
Grafton is regarded not only as
an heirloom but as the symbol
of real affection.
However, although an old
piece of jeWelry may be adored-
styles have changed and that
very piece may lie at the bottom

this condition with the following
routine. Soak the feet in warm
soapy water. Immediately after
wards use one of the large sand
papery emery boards and gently
rub over the roughened skin. Do
this carefully so that you will not
make sore. Most of the outer
dead skin will come off. After
wards, massage with an oily
cream. You can use heel mitts
to keep the cream on if you wish.
