Columbus, o. twenty-five
more deer hunting permits were
purchased by Ohioans during the

total of 23,121 permits were sold
by the various agencies through
out the state, which included the
county clerks in the 10 open

conservation headquarters.
The figure is we'll below the
preseason estimate, which was
based upon surveys indicating
high deer population and the
fact that six more counties were
opened to deer hunting this sea

ICE FISHING RETURNS TO
MARbLEHEAD AFTER 6 YEARS

Sub zero temperatures which
reigned for the most part of
the past fortnight have brought
back ice fishing to western Lake
Erie in the Marblehead area.
Due to a coating of from six
to eight inches of ice, Lakeside
and Marblehead residents are en-
joying the first real fishing in six
winters.
Up to this week, the fishing
has not been too heavy, how ,
ever, as only few good picker
ell have been hooked.
Several dozen shanties are
daily dotting the ice northeast
of Marblehead, and the daunt-
less fishermen ply their trade
against all brands of weather.
Fishing in Sandusky Bay, which
has been sustained on a steady
basis since the big pre-Christmas
freeze, continues seven days a
week. Mostly bluegills and perch
comprise the catch, it is report

Lbbey Cowboys Stampede Over Redskins 2-5i
PORT CLINTON CACERS SWEPT

Port Clinton rallied at times, but
was always trailing at the quar-
ters, being helpless against the
mighty onslaughts of Dick Sly
manski's 80 points and Willie
Russelps 81. Dicks personal scor-
ing was the highest in the local
records for the season, and To
ledo's total score was the highest
netted in that city thus far
Libbey increditably hit 40 of 80
trys, zooming the percentage up
to 48.7. Although not shooting
anything spectacularly, Port Gin
ton actually drove home per
centage of 4.6, which officials con
sidered good in view of the ter
rife opposition the visitors faced
To add insult to injury Libbey
threw in its second Stringers

the regulars played that Stanza

popped over the century mark.

To make the honor roll at Fork

thoroughly before entering the next

Colonel ]. Caldwell Wicker, pres

How To Boost Egg
Quality

Farmers who produce eggs have
the first responsibility in keeping
quality high. According to ]. Frank
Gordy. extension poultryman at the.
University of Delaware, there are
seven rules to maintain egg quality
on the farm. They are:
1. Gather eggs at least three
times day to prevent excessive
breakage and spOilage.
2. Collect the eggs in wire bas-
kets to hasten cooling. Rubber COW
cred wire baskets should be used
since the wire tends to mark eggs
8. Cool eggs overnight. at a
temperature Ef from 40 to so de-
grees and at 4 relative humidity
of so to 40 percent. A well-Ventila-
ted cave or cellar with a sand floor,
to which moisture is frequently
added. will generally provide these
conditions.
4. Keep eggs away from kero-
sene, onions, or other materials
with Objectionable odor
5. Pack eggs the next day In
pre-c0oled cases. Be sure TO place
the small end Of the egg down
6. Protect the eggs from extreme
tempgFStures and rough handling
while they are enroute to market
z. Market the eggs twice q
week. preferably on a graded basis.

tain egg quality and who pay a
premium for top quality

it necessary to drain the lake.
The gates were opened last We'd
nesday, when water started pour
ing down into the river at rapid
rate. More than day was re-

point where workmen could start

REHOBOTH BONDS - Rehobotb
/ taxpayers attending sDecial
hearing at Rehoboth last Saturday
called by the Board of Commits
sioners, approved the proposal to
hold a referendum in July to vote
on a $185,0O0 bond issue for inn
prOvement in the resorts water
system. The referendum was set
for July 21, between the hours of
l to 6 p. m. in City Hall.
Specifically the money will go
for the drilling of two gravel-pack-
ed wells costing $96,68O.81, and
new 12-inch transmission mains to
connect with the present system
at a cost of $88,31919. The ur-
gency Of these additional improve
ments was explained by the com
missioners "to give the resort
town an adequate water supply
with its increasing population, and
to take care of any storm or fire
emergencies"
City Manager Theodore Pyle re-
piled to a question of Commission
er w. S. Grenoble as to whether
the $185,0O0 will actually cover all
expenses. He said that an esti-
mated Is per cent of that amount
is to take care of any emergency
expenditure. Mr. Pyle added that
the improvements contemplated
would hardly be completed this
summer, but that it is hoped to
have them ready by the reason Of
1852.
The question arose as to a pos
sible need for an auxiliary electric
power unit in the event of power
failure. The Rehoboth city man
ager thought such an emergency
is negligible inasmuch as the Del
aware Power and Light Company
has extended its facilities in the
past year and that the town OF
RehObOth does not need to depend
upon the local circuits should they
go out in any emergency.
The City Hall board room was
: filled with interested citizens who
; asked many questions as to tn
quantity and quality of the water
} and when a vote count was takel
r the project was unanimously ap
/, proved.
