Chevies, Oak Harbor Tanks Easy Winners

Opening games in the reactivat-
ed Port Clinton Independent

last Thursday night in the high

posting wins. In the 5000 opener
Kelly-Dunn's ChevieS were never
in serious trouble as they coasted
to a 31-23 win over the Marble
head Coast Guard squad. Chuck
Whiting stole scoring honors for
the winners with seven field goals
and four foul shots for fifteen
points. De Marco and Ash paced
the Coast Guard with seven
points each.
In the nights feature contest
the Oak Harbor Heavy Tank team
came from behind in thriller to
upset the Peninsular Merchants
of Marblehead 44-34. Hetrick,
former Bowling Green eager,
with jump shot led the Tanks
as he rolled up nineteen points
on eight baskets and three char
ity tosSeS. Fought was close
second with fourteen points while
Tommy GreSh and Jim Polk had
twelve and eleven each for the
Merchants. The highly touted
Port Clinton Mfg. Co. was forced
to take bye when the Erie Ord

to enter the league this season.
The Manufacturers have been
designated as the team to beat

CLOSING CITY
DUMP WEEKENDS

The lakefront city dump is be-
ing closed over Saturday and
Sunday of each week on tenn
porary basis as a means of keep
ing out-of-town junk dealers from
seeking salvage materials from
the site, Mayor Carl Becker said
Thursday.
He said the action was neceS-
sary to keep people from setting
fire to debris on the dump over
the weekends and also to prevent
drayage operators from dumping
decayed vegetables and fruits on
the paper and rubbish deposits,
as we'll as controlling the outside
junk dealers.
The dump is closed at 4 p. m.
daily from Monday through Fri
day. The weekend ban at the
dump may be lifted after few
weeks, Becker said.
Becker said few people are us
ing the old dumping grounds at
the end of Third street, but that
Erie Gardens trucks have been
using that site exclusively.

While thousands OF persons IN
Ohio and from many other states
have enjoyed the ancient sport
of ice fishing, the factual side of
the sport and industry, has never
been told so we'll as has DR.. T. H.
Langlois of Put-in-Bay in the cur
rent Ohio Conservation Bulletin.
DR.. Langlois is director of the
Stone Institute of Hydobiology
which is devoted to intensive
studies of marine life in the ISL
ands area Of Lake Erie. He has
found much romance in the sport
of ice fishing, and amazing facts
connected with the tremendous
industry of commercial ice fish
ing. The economic aspects of the
latter are far-reaching from
Bowles' Harbor, near Toledo, to
Sandusky Bay.
The sight of ardent anglers
crouchihg low over holes around
Put-in-Bay and Bay Bridge is a
familiar one to Ottawa countianS,
and after two winters without ice
and ice fishing, the islanders are
eagerly looking forward to the
1851 season. DR.. Langlois pre-
diets that there will be plenty of
ice and ice fishing this winter.
His comments on ice fishing in
general follow:
Technique Pays OF
SIN the several decades which
they have enjoyed of ice fishing
the islanders have developed
equipment and techniques of fish
ing which have paid off in re-
suits. There are more pounds
of fish caught per man-hour of
fishing by anglers around the ISL
ands through the ice than have
been reported for any other
sports fishery in the world. The
catch varies from day to day and
from season to season, and with
the skill of the fisherman, so that
averages are difficult to state.
Many blank days have been re-
ported, but the peak catches have
been made by certain expert
islanders, and of these, Johnny
Nissen of Put-in-Bay holds the
record at present. On two occa-
sions, he has caught 230 pounds
of pickerel, which averaged one

Raid Warnings, Water Supply
Protection Get Study Here
MEETINGS TO Be
HELD WEEKLY TO
BUILD PROGRAM

Organization of a we'll knitted
civil defense program for Port
Clinton moved a step nearer Tues.
day night when a group of form.
er air raid wardens gathered in
city hall to hear the new defense
program explained by E. w. Reif-
schneider, assistant defense di-
rector. County and city director
Wayne Petersen was unable to
attend due to illness.
The first and most immediate
need of the local defense council,
Reifschneider said, is a meeting
place, desk, phone files and stor-
age facilities.
Not Prime Target
The assistant director explain
ed that while Port Clinton is not
at this time considered a prime
enemy target, the defense organ
ization here would be expected to
move in for disaster assistance
in some larger center, probably
Toledo. He added, however, that
in case of attack in this country,
the Erie Proving Grounds and
Depot would be a prime enemy
objective because the site is a
source of war material supply.
Considerable discussion was
given to protection of the city'S
water supply, due to the fact that
if it were to be polluted or other
wise damaged, epidemics could
ensue. Also, the fire department
would be rendered impotent, il
the pumps should be hit by an
enemy bomb.
Water works Superintendent
William Crohen suggested that
the pumps could be placed in pits
heavily covered with concrete
shields on the sides and top.

Month Of Tax HEARINGS
In House Expected on
$40 Billion Program
BY the Associated Press

Another full month of tax hear
ings is in prospect before the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee even starts drawing up bill
to meet President Trunan's re-
quest for $40 billion more revenue.
Witnesses have been tentatively
scheduled for every day except
Saturdays and Sundays between
now and March Is, and committee
sources indicated that latecomers
probably will extend the hearings
at least through March 20.
Representative Cooper, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee said more than
260 persons or organizations have
asked to be heard on the admin
istration'S proposal to raise indi-
vidual income taxes by 81 billion,
corporation taxes by SO billion
and a selected list of excise taxes
by So billion.
1t is probable, however, that
more than half of the total will
be content to file statements of
their position with the commit
tee, rather than appear in person.
The committee has agreed
unanimously to hear all prefer
red suggestions for raising reve-
nue. before deciding whether to
incorporate all the increases con-
: enplated this year into a single
bill or adopt the two-package ap-
oroach and $16.5 billion total
goal recommended by the admin
istration.

Buffalo in Denver

DENVER, Feb. 20.-Cowboys and
police joined in a buffalo hunt on
the streets of Denver last night.
Two big bison being transferred
to a pen at the Denver stockyards
broke away, cleared four fences
and headed toward town.
One went down a railroad track
toward a freight train. A~train-
man standing nearby climbed
aboard in record time as the
buffalo bore down on him.
Thirty police got in on the chase.
after the radio dispatcher followed
up his original call with, well,
that's what the man said-buffa-
loes."
The policemen and two cowboys
on horseback finally captured the
pair after a two-hour chase.
The animals were brought here
from game refuge at Genesee
Park, in the mountains west of
Denver. consigned for sale to a
Wyoming rancher by a William F.
Cody. At least, that's what the
records showed. Buffalo Bill Cody

shall not be allowed to enter this
country, but those who joined
involuntarily shall be admitted.
