Hero Is Dead,
From Infir1nities

"Chief" the pointer who was
credited with saving the life of
his master, Roy Webster, pro-
prietor of Castle Inn, Put-in-Bay,
died this week from stroke.
The dog which was past 10
years old, won considerable
publicity throughout the islands
two years ago when Webster's
truck skidded and overturned
on him as he was nearing his
place of business. 1t was past
noon, and Chief, who became
anxious about his owner not
arriving home for lunch, went
out to look for him. When he
found him seriously injured and
helpless under the truck, the
dog raced to the house and in
frantic canine language in
formed Mrs. Webster of her
husbands plight.
Neighbors were alerted and
Webster was rushed to the
hospital with a number of frac-
tured ribs and other injuries.
He was hospitalized for three
weeks.

Carrying on his campaign for
improved rural telephone service,
Rep. Robert w Reider, of Ottawa
county, announced from Columbus
that he is preparing bill to be
introduced this week in the Ohio
Assembly to further the cause of
better telephone service.

200 independent telephone COM
panies under jurisdiction of the
state Public Utilities Commission.

mostly mutuals or non-pro6t"
concerns, still are outside PUCO
control.
The purpose of utility commits
sion control, he explained, would
be to force compliance with P. u.
c. o. service standards.
"Ohio telephone patrons can't
hope to receive better phone serv-
ice," he told newsmen, until all
companies are required to main
tain uniform standards"
Reider sponsored the telephone
improvement law enacted by the
legislature two years ago.

worker firmly into the national spotlight
Embroed in the affairs of his office and confronted
with the complex problems presented by heavily

Therefore, it is the civic responsibility of all public
spirited citizens of Ohio to launch immediate direct
mail and word-of-mouth campaign that will carry a
forcefu Lausche message into each of the 4S states and
