At meetings of both the Port
Clinton Chamber of Commerce
and Vacationland held within the
past week, sentiment grew in
favor of issuance of courtesy tic
kets to tourists and other visitors
on their first traffic violations in
the city.
A number of members of both
organizations have displayed tic
kets which they received while
vacationing in other sections of
the country, pointing out that in
every case, the courtesy ticket
creates good will with public Of
ficials and establishes a definite
attachment to the community in
which the courtesy gesture is made
by the police department.
The Chamber of Commerce is
sponsoring the erection of large
welcome" signs at the entrances
to the city. The signs will be
made large enough to bear en-
blems of the various civic organi-
cations of the city, President Kelly
Dunn stated.
Members of the Chamber un-
animously voted to contribute
$3.50 at once to the Ohio Rifle
and Pistol Association to help de-
fray publicity and initial expenses
necessary in putting on the ma
tional rifle matches at Camp
Perry in August The Chamber
also agreed to offer a $50 trophy
for one of the Camp Perry shoot
ing events, which will be known
as the Port Clinton Chamber of
Commerce trophy match.
DR.. Ken Carter and Russell
Druckenmiller called on the
Chamber for assistance in or
ganizing new Boy Scout troop
to be known as an explorers
group. A sponsor for the group
