HALLOWEEN
PRANKSTERS
ENDANCER PAIR

Halloween pranksters caused
considerable damage to an auto
mobile and nearly created an ac
cident which could have been dis.
astrous for two persons, had it not
been for cautious driving on the
part of the motorist, Friday.
The near victims were Mr.. and
Mrs. Melvin Guth, who were re.
turning from a church supper at
Graytown on route 584, when Mr.
Guth, who is county auditor, saw
an approaching car making a
bend in the road. Mr.. Guth dim
med his lights, and in so doing ran
into a farm wagon which had been
placed across the road by the Hal.
loween pranksters.
Fortunately the Guths were ira
yelling at low speed, but in order
to avoid striking the passing car
their car was forced to ram into
the stati nary wagon. The
front of the automobile was cavcd
in by the impact. Damage was
estimated at between $50 and $40
In the rear of the car were
seven dozen eggs, which were to
be distributed to friends and
neighbors in Port Clinton. The
crash scrambled five dozen OF
them, Mr.. Guth reported.

Township Officials Oppose
Constitutional Convention

Active opposition to the calling
of a Constitutional Convention is
being made by township officials
throughout the State, according to
the Ohio State Association of
Township Trustees and Clerks.
Ohio voters are being urged to
vote mo" on the question Of
"Shall there be convention to
revise alter or amend the consti-
tution". Harvey Knoerr, president
of the Ottawa County Association
says this is in accordance with the
resolution of the association adopt
ed at its summer convention and
the action of the Legislative Com
mittee taken at a recent meeting.
Reason for opposing the conven-
tion is because the changes pro-
posed would centralize government
and take control away from the
people. Township officials see no
good for Ohio in proposals to de-
prive smaller counties of their
State Representatives and give
control of the legislature to the
eight big cities, or to appoint
judges and most state officials in.
stead of letting the voters select
their own officials.

only being asked to work against

marshes surrounding fee d i n G

our members are convinced that
the action taken by the manage

closed because of feeding in IL
other marshes. The closing came
under the rule that no migratory

that the test case which will in
