what they're about"
ONE VOTE

What difference does one vote
make?
Blockworkers these days are
hearing this old question now and
then, and the answer is the same
always: every majority is made UP
OF votes cast one by one. And
American political history has
been made or marred a thousand
times by handful of citizens who
know their votes did count :. :. :. OF
thought they didn't.
For instance:
Only 1149 votes out of LIPS ,15e
won New York ;. :. :. and the Pres
,dency . :. :. for Grover Cleveland
in 1884.
Just 1906 votes out of a million
:. :. :. or two thirds of vote per
precinct :. :. :. cost Charles Evans
Hughes the State of California
and the Presidency.
Less than a vote precinct gave
MIR. Truman his majority of 7107
in Ohio in 1948. He won Califor
MIA by barely a vote precinct
with a majority of 1866. With.
out these two States he would
have been short of a majority.
Your vote may elect the next
president of the United States.

POSTAL ROUTE

A temporary mailman has been
named for route /, the longest in
the county.
Frank Kozlok, All Laurel

route daily. The route includes all
of Catawba and part of state route

Kozlok will succeed Waldo Lin,
demann, substitute carrier for
many years, who served route l
since the resignation Of Henry
Cedoz early in July.
Permanent boxes on route / to-
tai 564, but it is estimated that
during the vacation period deliv-
cries are made to about 1,00C
families. 1t is the city's most diff.
ficult route, according to the post
master, because of the fact that
vacationers are constantly coming
and going; mail is improperly ad
dressed and incorrect designations
such as beaches, are given. This
all tends to slow up the delivery
service, postmaster Verdi Won
Thron pointed out.

in the next "a hours are disease,
hunger, poverty and illiteracy.
GAS long as these things con-
tinue to menace great part of the
worlds people, then the odds are
against peace and freedom for all

"Where you find hunger, dis.
ease, poverty and illiteracy, you
find fertile soil for the seeds of

ism and fascism. On the map, these
dangers sopetimes seem far away.
But we know from experience that

|PERRY'S VICTORY MEMORIAL
NOW UNDERGOING FACE-L|FTINC

The Perry Victory and Inter
national Peace Memorial National
Monument at Put-In-Bay, Ohio is
to be sandblasted, cleaned and re-
pointed this summer Superinten-
dent Joseph R. Prentice reported
today. The contract for this work
has been let to the Restoration
Company, Inc, a st. Louis, Mis-
souri, firm specializing in this type
of work The work, started last
weeks, will require aboout rs
days.
The 352 foot high memorial shaft
was begun in 1912 and opened to
the public in June 1915. 1t was
built to commemorate the victory
of Oliver H. Perry and his men in
the Battle of Lake Erie, Septem-
Der 10, After completion, the
monument was dedicated to the
century of peace between the Eng
lish spaking nations of the new
world, Canada, Great Britain and
the United States.
The shaft is built of pink Milford
granite obtained from Milford,
Massachusetts. 1t takes the form
of a Greek Doric column sur
mounted by penthouse and a
bronze urn. The complete stru.
ture rises 352 feet above the wa
ters of Lake Erie.
The shaft was erected by the
United States Government and the
states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mi
chigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, New
York, Rhode Island, Kentucky and
Massachusetts. 1t was operated as
States Memorial by Commission
ers Of the Federal Government and
the nine states.
In 1886, however, due partly TO
financial difficulties and partly to
the national significance of the
structure, bill was passed by
Congress accepting the area as a
part of the National Park Service.
1t then became a National Monu-
ment, one of the 181 National
Park Aras in the United States and
its territories. There are only two
National Park Service areas in
Ohio, the other being the Mound
City National Monument in Chill
llcothe which consists of many
prehistoric Indian mounds.

sage to CIO members:
"Give a worker who doesn't
know what U. S. workers are real

you. Ask him to stay in the home
of one of your union members;
don't put him in hotel.
"Plan an informal visit (of about

portunities to talk with people in
your town about problems people
in his country are facing and that
you are facing here, to talk about
the ways that programs in our
country affect workers where he
lives and how workers over here
feel the effect of measures taken
in his country.
'The u. S. government agrees
that getting to know one another
is one of the best ways of build
ing world understanding. Govern
ment programs are bringing thou
sands of visitors from other coun
tries to the United States so that
they can meet us and see how we

Poison Ivy Is Cause
Of Apple Waste

Poison ivy may cause waste as
we'll as inconvenience in applt
orchards according to Vernon J
Patterson, extension horticulturis'
at Ohio State University.
Patterson says not only is the
plant a hazard to allergic work
men but "windfalls often are al
lowed to rot where ivy grows" HI
says chemicals probably offer the
best method of controlling ivy.
Ivy control chemicals are of tw
types, caustic and hormone Caus
tic materials, such as sodium ch
lorate and ammonium sulfamate
are less likely to damage apple
trees. They may not kill ivy roots
however, unless rain carries then
down to the roots.
County Agricultural Agent FREQ
Grimm's office has detailed in
formation on how to use chemical.
to control ivy in apple orchards.

Jim Miller Ties For First
In Class Of HYC Races

A record-breaking regatta be-
came history Wednesday night as
the seth annual Inter-Lake Yacht
ing Association regatta came to a
close. During the four days of
festivities and competition bet
ween over 80 classes of craft, there
were more than 200 boats which
had participated in one or more
OF the events, starting from Put
In-Bay's famed Squaw Harbor.
Island resident estimated that
between $4,000 and 10000 persons
visited Put-In-Bay during the last
Today peroid. Last Saturday was
computed by business men on the
island as one of the biggest, com
pairing well with the all-time re-
cord holiday business of last De-
coration Day.
While this years regatta was
the biggest for a number of years,
and drew more people and boats,
ironically, the weather was the
worst in years during the first two
days.
Mondays racing was the sio-
west in recent history. The winds
shifted so often and the rolling
seas were so rough that each leg
of the race course was battle
between sailors and elements, ra-
ther than between challenging
boats.
Most of the first day winners
were from Toledo, Cleveland and
Sandusky.
MiIIer's Comet In Front
In the Comet Class races Mon
day, hoEors came to two Putin
Bay shippers, the first area en-
trants to place in winning posi-
tons
Jim Miller, an old hand at a
Comet helm, took top honors, with
Emory thinner, second.
Most of the sailing laurels in
the Rebel and Nipper divisions
went to Toledo while Lightning
winners all hailed from Cleveland.
There was not Toledo Lightning
entered for that race.
Toledo captured the cruising cut
ters class and Sandusky led in the
sloops division.
Many of the boats barely made
the time limit as winds cut down
speeds to about nine miles an
hour.
Rough Seas Tuesday
The SECOND day of the regatta
was marked by rough seas rolled
up by clustering blows, which
sent number of boats back to
anchorage. Some of them were car
rying broken spars and damaged
rigging to port.
Jim Miller's Vixen, of Put-In-Bay
made sturdy showing in the
Comet class sloops. Monday found
Miller in. third place and Tuesday
he was tied for first place with
Richard w. Faist, of Toledo Mau-
NEE Yacht Club. Both scored Ali.
Top sailor of the regatta was
Ronnie Anderson of the Jolly
Roger club, who made a clean
sweep in the Nipper class.
Jim Miller brought honor 70
Put-In-Bay by tying first place in
the Comet class, with his Vixen,
with RS w. Faist, Toledo, in his
Big If.

BALLOTS AND BULLETS

The right to vote of million
citizens is in the hands of the
House of Representatives.
The million can do little or moth
ing for themselves, because they
are busy with the highest duty of
citizenship-serving in the armed
forces. They face the loss of their
votes because the absentee ballot
laws of 25 of the States are not
drawn so as to protect them.
Following a recommendation by
President Truman, the Senate
passed bill providing Federal
ballot for these men in the fall
