JUNIOR WOMEN
UNDERTAKE
new PROJECT

Another worthwhile project for
the purpose of providing whole
some recreation for the youth of
Port Clinton has been undertaken
by members of the Port Clinton
Junior Women's Club.
Weekend recreation will be pro-
vided at the Youth Building on
East Third Street, under super
vision of two Junior Women's Club
members, on Saturday nights and
on Sunday afternoons. The build
ing is currently being used by
Scout troops for their Monday
through Friday meetings.
The proposed undertaking will
require the assistance and finan-
cial contribution of local citizens
and clubs interested in helping the
Junior Women's Club make their
project successful.
To develop and improve the
Youth Building many general
pieces of equipment will be neces-
sary. A record player, furniture,
kitchen equipment, games and a
good used piano are important
items which the club must find
means to provide.
So that furnishings will be har-
monious and attractive to the
younger crowd, the Junior Wom-
ems group is asking that financial
contributions be made rather than
particular items. However, good
used piano will be heartily well
coined.
During the weekend gathering
of young people, careful chaperon-
age will be maintained. Refresh
ments at cost will be provided to
the youthful crowd.
Clubs and individuals wishing
to contribute to this important
civic undertaking are urged to
mail their financial contributions
to the Port Clinton Junior Wom-
ems Club, c/o Mrs. Melvin Arft,
president, 637 Laurel Avenue, Port
Clinton. For convenience, the
NEWS office will be pleased to
turn over contributions to the
Junior Women if any persons wish
to stop in our office and leave
their financial offerings for the
youth building project.
Mrs. Stanley H. Perry is chair
man of the project committee, as
sisted by Mrs. Gordon Lay, Mrs
Allen Foster, Mrs. Paul Clemons
Mrs. William Anderson and Mrs
Gene Schneider.

OUTLINE OF
ROAD PLANS

An accelerated highway con-
struction program is being mapped
for Ottawa County next year ac-
cording to George Lieber, division
engineer.
Mr.. Lieber said that Woodville
Road is slated to be widened to a
4-lane highway as far as Ulney
school. Eventually this road will
be made 4-lane through to Route
20, he added.
The new concrete bridge will
be built over the Toussaint river
on State Route 19 next summer
and construction on Route 2 from
Bono to Route 500 will be COM
pleted about July l, Mr.. Lieber
said.
Route 2 construction has been
delayed by cement strike, he ex-
planned. The contractor has all the
necessary steel on hand but has
been unable to obtain cement,
thereby confining his work to the
building of two bridges.
When the cement is obtained
next spring, Mr.. Lieber estimated
that construction will be COM
pleted at the rate of about one
mile week and he estimated
that the construction work would
be completed about July l.
This particular stretch of Route
2 will undergo widening and
Strengthening of curves in addition
to the two new bridges now being
constructed, Mr.. Lieber said.
Meanwhile, traffic will be de-
toured through Route 1853 and
Woodville Road because secondary
and county roads are not adequate
to handle the burden.
Mr.. Lieber explained that funds
for new construction are being de-
pleted as a result of the need for
access roads to the turnpike and
for new construction in the area
near the site of the atomic energy
plant in southern Ohio.
