The Korean war has demon
strated the fallacy of the world
government idea and points up
the Importance of the United
States retaining its independence
of action, Mrs. James B. Patton,
president general of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
declared yesterday.
At the same time, Mrs. Patton
told members of the Patriotic
Women of America that United
States citizens must be on the
alert against planners good and
bad" AS an example. she cited
the effort to exploit" the United
Nations flag by displaying it in
places and on buildings unrelated
to U. N activities.
Stressing the unalterable stand
of the OAR against any world
government proposals, Mrs. Pat
ton declared: Communist aggres-
sion in Korea, planned in con-
temptuous defiance of the United
Nations, is a potent warning that
any form of world government
would disarm the United States
and place it under the dictator
ship of the Kremlin.
There is no secession from a
world government" Mrs. Patton
continued. "Once in, we cannot
get out. We disband our defense
forces, disarm our country. The
Atomic bomb becomes the prop
erty of world government Your
husband, your son, your daughter,
or perhaps you will be sent to the
far corners of the earth to police
for peace"
Mrs. Patton also said that the
Korean war has taught the lesson
that the spread of communism
can no longer be looked on as a
bloodless revolution.
Communism now is openly on
the march to conquer by armed
might" she asserted. "Conse-
quently we will have to meet it by
force instead of by missionary
work. The democracies must build
up a world defense which will
stop communistic aggression.
I'VE shall have to supply large
share of troops-meaning our
American boys" Mrs. Patton de-
clared. But we shall expect our
allies, weak as they are, to con-
tribute their proportionate share.
too"
The speaker added that "ade-
quate preparedness" undoubtedly
would have saved a lot of Ameri-
can lives in the Korean war.
Mrs. Patton, who issued a state
ment last fall opposing display of
the United Nations flag alongside
the Stars and Stripes in connec-
ton with proposed U. N. Day OBJ
servances, said yesterday that the
U. N. flag is banner represent
ing an organization" and should
be displayed at Lake Success and
at u N. meetings.

unkindness from the mind of
their victim.
But this does not happen. The

CUTCHER A N D
CONTENTS LOST

An early Saturday morning FIRE
routed Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Cutcher
and their six children from their
home at Three Mile crossing on
route 2, which was completely de-
stroyed.
Cutcher, who is widely known as
Buck, credits the family dog,
a small golden retriever, with saw
ing their lives. Aroused by thick
smoke swirling through hallway,
the dogs frantic barking awaken
ed the oldest child, Mildred, who
in turn reused the entire family in
time to permit their flight to
safety.
The blaze, which was discovered
at 2:30 a. m. had gotten consider
able headway. Members of the
Port Clinton Volunteer Fire De-
partment found the frame house
in a mass of flames on their ar
rival. All contents we're lost.
The fire burned with such in
tensity that Cutcher was unable
to complete his telephone call to
Central to summon help. He told
the News that he had contacted
the operator to tell of the fire
but before he had time to tell
her where it was, the lead-in tele-
phone wire connecting the phone,
burned through. He was forced
to flee before being trapped by
flames.
Heaviest loss incurred by the
fire was a large quantity of raw
furs which had been trapped dur
ing the winter and were stored
in the attic.
Two hundred dollars in cur
rency, belonging to a son, Charles,
which was secreted in chest of
drawers, was also destroyed.
Besides the parents and Charles,
other survivors in the family who
lost all their personal belongings
are Mildred, 21; Rosemary. Is;
George, IL; Frederick, 9 and Dor
othy, 4.
Cutcher said he had 5000 insur-
ance on contents of the house,
$1,000 on the dwelling, and some
insurance on the more than 1000
stored pelts, mostly muskrat skins,
which were stored in the house.
He has issued an appeal to all
trappers to let him know how
many pelts they had turned over
to him during the winter, in or
der to aid him in making an ac-
curate check on the loss.
Cutcher is caretaker of the
George Wenger marsh on route 2.
The homeless family is temporar-
lily sheltered in the Wenger club
house.

All Townships Getting Active
In Practical Civil Defense Planning
Over 100 Attend
County Farley At
School Tuesday

More than 100 Ottawa countians
interested in the civil defense pro-
gram now being evolved by state
and county agencies met in the
High School auditorium Tuesday
night to hear a general outline
of the program.
The meeting was called by

civil defense civil defense director
woh outlined the manpower needs
for the program in the county.
He said "a air raid wardens would
be required in Portage Township,
13 in Erie; seven in Bay and two
in Catawba Townships. In Port
Clinton force of 40 wardens
would be necessary, Petesen said,
in addition to IL ward captains
and eight firemen.
An outline of the possible dam
ages to be caused by atomic bombs
as given by Arlo Shively, teacher
of chemistry. He pointed out;
Because the power of all bombs
is limited, your chances OF living
through an atomic attack are much
better than you may have thought
In the city of Hiroshima, slightly
over half the people who were
within a mile from the atomic eX
tackS live in new houses built
light where their old ones once
stood. The war may have chang
ed their way of life, but they are
not riddled with cancer. Their
children are normal. Those who
were temporarily unable to have
children because of the radiation
now are having children again.
The civil defense meeting was
addressed by Mayor Carl Becker,
who complimented the gathering
for its public spirited interest in
vital subject.
Cards were distributed to the
air raid wardenS to be used as
a permanent census of all com
munities. The cards list occu-
pants of each building and de-
scribes when filled out in detail,
the type of heating, electricl out
