"Give me $eooo," George Rogers

The Ohio Country was then that
great, little-explored territory that
stretched in endless forests from
the. Ohio to the Mississippi.
Clark, Virginian by birth, sur

and adventurer by choice, knew
whereof he spoke.
At 20 he had penetrated deep
into the Kentucky wilderness. A
friend Of Daniel Boone and Simon
Kenton, Clark was always FORE
most among the volunteers on In

It was 1776 when he appeared
before the Assembly. A new ma

GARLIC BREAD

One of the easiest and best ol
the many recipes for this favor
ite bread is a recipe always used
by chef in a well-known 1tal
ian eatery in the East. It's deli
cious and your family will be
asking for it again and again. II
will add zest to any meal-wheth
er it's spaghetti or chicken soup
Select loaf of French, Vienna
or light rye bread, unsliced
French bread, we've found
makes the best Garlic bread.
Slice it lengthwise.
Melt a quarter of pound OF
butter or oleomargarine. Lei
stand and slice into it at least
five kernels of garlic, very fire
Allow the mixture to stand al
least a half hour before using
longer if possible.
Using a pastry brush, brush the
mixture, kernel slices and all
over the entire soft surfaces OF
the bread. Be sure to spread il
evenly over each half. Place the
soft sides together, wrap the loaf
in aluminium foil and place in q
medium hot oven for a half hour
Because this bread is best when
kept hot, keep it wrapped at the

TOMATO PUDDING
Sometime ago, a popular res
taurant in Toledo served this de
licious dish, en- casserole, passing
it around to each guest and theY
whipping it back to their kitchen
before anyone had a chance te
ask for second helpings. It's ar
unusual dish in that you will fine
it mountaineering, and when yol
have guests you can have grea
fun with them as they try tt
guess what the ingredients are
My own guests have guessed any
thing from sweet potatoes tt
baked beans.
The Toledo restaurant never
revealed the secret of the dish
knowingly, but in roundabout
way a friend was able to obtair
it from a former employee of the
popular eating spot. So, mystery
solved, here it is:
4 Cups of cubed bread, prefer
ably day-old. Be sure to include

LIGHTING SYSTEM STILL
PROBLEM At ATHLETIC FIELD

Last spring Ohio Edison de-
creed that it would no longer re-
pair or maintain the six lighting
poles at the Port Clinton High
School athletic field as long as
they we're considered unsafe by
that company. Ohio Edison de-
clared that the poles were rotten
and endangered the workmen re-
qrired to climb the poles to SER
vice the lights. Since that time,
the school board has been faced
with the problem of continuing
night football games at the True
Lay Athletic Field, but with a
maintained and repaired lighting
system. Bowling Green will meet
the Port Clinton Redskins at the
Field Friday night, under the
lights, through the efforts of Port
Clinton Volunteer Firemen and
the use of the Fremont Fire De-
partment's aerial ladder.
To ready the lights for Fridays
big game, Port Clinton Firemen
volunteered their services Sun
day, whereby they borrowed the
aerial ladder from Fremont, and
repaired and adjusted the lights.
In reciprocation for the serv-
ices of the two fire departments,
Superintendent D. D. Sims re-
ported this week that contribu-
tions from the Athletic Fund
would be made to both partici-
pating fire organizations.
Under the suggested lighting
system made by the Westjng-
house Corporation, capacity of
10000 watts should be initiated
at the field, as compared to the
present 10000 watts. The new
system would have individually
sealed beam reflectors, helping to
eliminate breakage. In the past,
during snowy or rainy games,
Dreakage often resulted in an ex-
penditure of S100 for bulb re-
placement during one game at
the field. The suggested system
would eliminate this expense. The
company also suggested that four
lighting poles, having five fix
lures, should be placed at each
side Of the field There are now
only three at each side. Also, the
poles should be placed behind the
bleachers rather than in front, to
avoid audience interference, the
company further suggested.
The estimated cost of replac-
ing the lighting system at the
field, in accordance with the
Westinghouse survey, would APP.
rroximate $4,000 to 10000 del.
lars.
