Airport Dispute Goes To New City Utilities Boar
WRANCLE Gets
TABLED Z WEEKS

~ g
After much huffing and putting,
stressing and straining, the rela-
lively new city council bi-passed
the ancient airport controversy
by an old procedure-ta -tabling,
Tuesday evening.
History of the airport, oft told
in the council chambers since
1912, was mulled over again for
better than an hour, to bring new
council members up to date on the
former councils efforts to oust
Milton Hersberger, operator of the
airport, from under contract
which allows him exclusive rights
to fly commercially to Put-in-Bay.
Hersberger's representative, At
torney Leslie Meyer, told council
men that the Hersberger contract,
issued by a former city admin
istration lis good and valid, and
should be so recognized. He of
fered to sit with the airport COM
mittee at any time and work out
some solution whereby an agree
ment might be reached to end the
long controversy.
Council President Harold Neil
sen expressed the opinion that
nothing could be done until
pending injunction action against
the city in common pleas court is
cleared up. Meyer responded with
the observation that there would
not need to be any legal action, if
council would recognize the exist
ing contract and accept the prof
fered highest bid which Hersber-
ger submitted several months
ago on airport management.
In The sudden flareup over
the airport, which was not in
cluded i'm the nights agenda,
and was not TO be taken UP,
personalities began TO eraekle
until Adair Wilbur, and Lee
Bracken, bofn freshmen council
men began 10 ask clarifying
questions, for the benefi. of tte
entire couneiImanie body.
Attorney Meyer was several
times wedsed into compromise
corner by President Nielsen,
but always came out for
square-off for the contract fitie.
He refused to settle for any
thing less than fhe exclusive
commercial flying rights 20 Put
In-Bay, the site Of Hersberger's
privately established airport.
Mayor Carl Becker declared
that the city would have its
hands tied if it we're to try to pre-
vent anyone from flying to and
landing on any municipal airport.
He added, 1--WE are seeking to OBJ
tain general airport service, and
have no axe to grind with Hers
berger"
Conclusion of the lengthy de-
bate came about when Council
man Charles Ruddock moved that
the issue be again placed in the
hands of the airport committee, to
work, in turn, with the newly or
ganized Public Utilities Board. 1t
was councils unanimous opinion
that handling of the airport will
be one of the regularly consti-
tuted duties of the Utilities Board,
comprised of Dan Griffin, Walter
WAGNER and Carl Heckler, who
were asked to report their find
ings at the net meeting of coun-
Gil February IL.

The project grew out of discus.
sions of modesty in religion classes
at st. Mary's, and the Sisters of st
Francis who teach there make il
clear that the girls themselves gave
impetus to the drive. Judy Metz
maier, junior, was the one who
first suggested using the S.D.S
technique.
The letter sent by the girls to
the stores was direct and, to judge
by results, effective. They wrote:
We, the girls from st. Mary's
High School, are interested in
buying modest formals for our
junior-senior prom. We would
appreciate your cooperation in
purchasing such formals. We
consider formals immodest which
are backless, strapless, and low
cut.
If you comply with our wishes
we will show our appreciation by
patronizing your stores.
We appeal to you, one of the
stores most frequently patroniz-
ed by our fellow students, to help
us in our campaign.
Would you consider allowing
our students to model some of
your modest formals at student
assembly We will take full re-
sponsibility for the care of the
dresses.
A representative group will
call at your store within a few
days. We would appreciate a
definite reply at that time.
Stores to which the letters were
sent and visits made were: Lag
arus, Morehouse-F Fashion, Peggy
Ann Dress Shop, the Union, anC
Roberts.

Letters, Parcels
To Refugees Urged

TOLEDO, o. - (NC) - Indivldu-
al Americans should develop per-
son-to-person or family-to-family
friendships with Europe's war suf-
ferers. DR.. George N. Shuster told
a forum at the Mary ManSe College
here.
DR.. Shuster, who served as US.
land commissioner in Bavaria in
1850 and 81, reported on the at
moSphere of terror that Russia us
es as one of its strongest weapons
along the iron curtain boundary.
The president of Hunter College,
New York, encouraged across-the-
ocean correspondence and continu-
ance of private charity.
The peoples of western Europe,
he said, need to be b0lstered by
Americans in conviction that
both share the ideals of freedom
and human rights. DR.. Shuster
evaluated this activity of individu'
al citizens over that of the Voice
of America, discounted as propa-
ganda.
The educator said that particu-
Iarly among the youth of Germany
is there a spiritual vacuum in the
wake of nazism, and that very
many" young persons had been
converted to communism. At the
same time, he said, fugitives from
lands under Red rule cross the
border at the rate of 25,000 q
month into Germany.

A group of st. Mary's (Columbus)
High School girls, convinced that
they can change the world, scored
notable success this week in
changing the world of fashion.

stores will supply number of the
girls with enough decent formal
dresses to stage pre-prom style
show at the South Third street
school.
SheiIa Castellarin and Jacque-
line Brush, both juniors, are CO.
chairmen of the drive for decent
formaIs. In the campaign the class
feels that it is part of the growing
trend among Catholic high school
girls to supply the demand for a
supply of modest clothing. S.D.S.
clubs have been organized in many
cities throughout the us. to
achieve the same goal.
Stores Agree
The girls found buyers at the
local stores very cooperative"
One store manager congratulate
