Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1951-02-09

Following close on a letter
from Rep. Frazier Reams to
Mayor Carl Becker advising
that Port Clinton's unofficial
census tabulation was 1888,
was a lengthy ruling from
Attorney General c. William
O'Neill, in which local au-
thorities were advised that
they should proceed with ar
rangements to convert from
a village to a city. Becker
announced receipts of the two
communications last Friday.
The attorney generals ruling
was written for the benefit of
Secretary of State Ted w. Brown,
whose duty it will be to certify
population figures for Ohio cities,
after the Bureau of the Census
has issued the figures formally.
Official confirmation is not ex-
pected before next June, Con-
gressman Reams wrote Becker.
Democrats Draw Ticket
Acting on the attorney generals S
ruling. Democratic leaders met in
caucus Sunday afternoon and
drew up slate of candidates to
run for the new city Offices. For
this purpose four wards were
created, with one councilman
running from each ward and
three running at large.
Republican leaders expressed
doubt that they can produce full
ticket of candidates for primary
election. A primary election will
not be likely, it was indicated as
no contest between COP candi'
dates is anticipated.
Port Clinton is one of four vii
lagos which will become cities this
year. The other are Medina, Ok
ford and Oberlin.
Ruling Exeepts
O'Neill made it specifically
clear that candidates for Office in
a municipality, which is present
ly a village, but which will be
come a city, because the 1856
census will officially disclose, prior
to the November, 1851, election
that it has population of 5000
or more, should become candi
dates for city Offices"
He summarized his lengthy rul
ing with the opinion that "Candi

Police Chief Floyd Evans urges business houses to secure rear windows and doors with heavy mesh protective screens and to install night lights in the rear of all properties in the downtown area.
 T TWo attempted burglarie3 were foilod this week, one by the ianitor who was working late in one building.
 With the opening of the high way, drifters and unemployed men can be expected to winter in Seward.

Koreo Sends Thonks To A!oskuns For Generous Gifis

The following telegram was received this week from Honor able Young Han Choo, Korean Consul General in San Francis co, to Mayor Eugene N. Lanier.
 May 1 express my deep grati- tude and profound appreciation to you and your good people of Alaska, not only for mys If but also for my government and for the millions of Korean refugees in what you have done 10 help alleviate their suffering from the coming rigors of the severe cold winter.
 Il know they will remember your Good Samaritan deeds as long as they live and for many generations to come. If if were not for the generosity and good hearted American friends, many of our refugees would have lost their Ives not only during the winter months but also during the other months of this terrible war.
 In spite of the unspeakable Instructions wrought upon Ko- req, millions of Korean lives lost and unaccOuntable numbers of Koreans homeless, We feel that the American people will not let us down in this war of freedom and unification.
 The righteousness of God is on our side and ultimate victory over Communism is ours"
 Heavy clothing of all sorts, including footwear, gloves, etc, is being collected by the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary in Seward.
 Persons having worn, clean clothing that can be used by the Korean refugees are asked to call Mrs. J. F. Jackson, Main 2C8 and the bundles will be picked up for shipment
 Remember that Korea is ap- proXimately the same climate as this, and the people need warm clothing.
 The Alaska Line IS carrying the clothing from Seward with out charge, but the articles must be packed in bundles for easy handling.

The tension that characterized relations between labor and man agement negotiations in the lOngshore dispute here in early discussions has relaxed to the point of negligence.
 Work is proceeding as usual on the docks while the union labor relations committee under the ehairmanship of W. J. Stan Wyck continues talks with Frank Setterstcn. president of North ern StcVcdoring and Handling Corporation.
 While negotiations are moving smoothly, the union representa- tjVts are working cautiously and slowly to bring about clarI- fication of working rules. The safety factor is all important feature in the negotiations.

He did not understand the conditions here and the difficulties of work ing efficiently with the existing facilities, MT.

 The situation is expected to be cleared up finally and in detail within the next few days. In the meantime discussions are con tinuing amicably.

Comp!ein:s Made On Shooting of Bears EE Cify Limits

Several complaints have been registered, according to Carlos Carson, FWS enforcement agent, about the shooting of bears in the city limits.
 MT. Carson reminds residents that there is a city ordinance forbidding the discharge of fire arms within the city limits. E u5 are not dangerous, ne says. They will run away if a person shouts at them, and it is not necessary to get out the gun at all
 For some reason there have been an unprecedented number of black bears strolliug the city streets and residential area this year. Two were killed by police officers and Jack Jordan shot one last week.
 For those who are afraid to have them around because of little children playing the thing to do is call the police-cither the city police or some enforce ment agent. Do not shoot at bears within the city limits, ;" MT. Carson stated emphatically. It is dangerous to the life and prop srty of others ;

Higher Taxes Af+er November !

Clark Squire, collector of In ternal Revenue at Tacoma, Washington, announced h $ week that employers will be re qulred to withhold income tax from wages paid on and after November l, l9o1, at the higher rate provided by the Revenue Act of 1851. The Revenue Act is at present in the final stages Of enactment into law,
 Revised withholding tax rate tables TOT employers are aIr auy being printed in Washington, and ale bens rushed to the oIfic,s of Collectors throughout tse nation
 in tine meantime, however, Collector SquIrc autaorlz q the publication oI the rates as they appear in the pending Act, for the advance information of cnl- ployers and public.
 In view of the snort time elapsing between the enactment oI the law and the first payroll period affected, many employers may not be able tO adjust to the nlW rates on the first pay day affected. While no adjust ments will be made in the audit oi the withholding returns in such cases, he made ii clear that this does not in any manner af- feet the responsibility of em- ployes 10 meet their full tax liability as required by law when making their returns for the year 1851.
 Collector Squire also called attention to the fact that the new law relieves individuals from penalties tor failure to comply with the requirements relative to declarations oi cSti- mated tax on Form 1040-ES for 1851 if due tQ the increased rates in the Act Revised csti- mates will not be required on account oI the rate increase, al- though the higher tax for 1851 provided in the law will have to be paid when taxpayers file their income tax returns for the year.
 The increase in federal taxes will affect the Territorial tax in the sam e pcoportionate amount.

To help offset some of the ex-

On most of our small farms no

these small farms today there is
a surplus of labor. If we can sell

Diversified Farming Would Bring Higher
Standard OF Living To Holmes Farmers

If we are to diversity we must
first decrease our cotton acreage
usually, and properly fertilize and
poison this; properly fertilize
our corn for high yields and use
adapted varieties; fence and cross
fence the farm; improve the pas
lures to where we can carry one
cow unit, or the equivalent there
of, on every two acres for ten to
twelve months each year. After
we have done this we will be in
a position to improve and increase
our livestock. Then we will be
able to hold our livestock until
the market is right and. too, we
will be marketing high quality
livestock which will bring pre-

Farmers Could Increase
Income S500-S1,000.
Annuolly BY Planning
by EARL w. LUNDY

Many small farmers in Holmes
county could increase their in
come from $500 to $1,000 per year
by working out a diversified farm
plan and then putting this plan
into practice.
Some farmers have adopted sim
gle improvements. Few, however,
have attempted a thorough di-
versification on their farm.
Broad adjustments are needed
on most of our small farms. Too
many farmers have depended on
one cash crop, cotton. These farm
ers have most always grown en-
ough corn for home use, but usu-
ally not a surplus which could be
marketed direct or through some
type of livestock. Because we
don't have this surplus grain or
good pastures the year round, we
are usually forced to sell our live
stock when prices are low. These
animals are usually in poor con-
dition and too often of very low
quality.
