that of those citizens of Ottawa County

a convenient lapse of memory when this

There was nothing wrong with the
idea then. Now that the shoe is on the
other foot, apparently it hurts.
The NEWS has background of in
tegrity and public service over longer
period of time than any other newspaper
in Ottawa County and its staff members
rightfully resent the slurs reflected by
competitor who has become so habitual in
mud-slinging that yellow journalism tactics
have become second nature.

Felled By Bolt

A torrential rainstOrm, accom-
panied by brief hailstorm broke
Ottawa county's month-long dr.
ought Sun. afternoon and brought
cheer to farmers and fruit grow
ers throughout this area:
Although extensive damage was
wrought in surrounding counties,
locally there was little beyond bro
ken trees and utility lines.
Power lines were cut off for
hours throughout the county for
four or more hours. In Erie Town
ship there was no power from /
p. m. Sunday until noon Monday.
Grain crops survived the heavy
downpour and hail surprisingly
well and other crops, turned vel
low and brown from the long
drought, rapidly became fresh
again, taking on new lease on
life.
Several large shade trees were
felled by the windstorm in La
Carne. Hundreds of branches were
broken from trees in the area.
Telephone and electrical service
were impaired in many localities.
Castalia and Norwalk were re-
ported as the center of the storm.

The storm broke a sizzling tenn

Most property damage was eau
sed to the roof of Fire Chief Wal

AN EDITORIAL

In the realm of sports, blow below
the belt is generally the sign of weary
competitor who is motivated either by
Illustration or sheer desperation. In either
event, the act is regarded as unsportsman-
like and frowned upon by all who believe
in fairpay.
By strange coincidence, competitor
of the NEWS directed not one, but several,
low blows in our direction last week with
page one distortion of facts on the sub
ject of contests
1t is most unusual that this competitor
deemed it timely to lash out with sly state
ments obviously intended to reflect ad-
versely on the NEWS circulation campaign.
Although similar foul blows have been
leveled at the NEWS by the same source

other innocent groups and Individually we

Vacationland Inquiries
Break Ali Records AS A
Result Of Steel Layoffs

An all time record in the num-
ber OF requests for Vacationland
reservations in the Port Clinton
area were received during the last
two weeks of June, Tom Fine
frock, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce announced today.
He said major contributing
factor to the avalanche of requests
for cottages, cabins and rooms,
is the fact that most steel COM
panies have ordered mandatory
vacations for two weeks beginning
July 6. The vacation order wa;
issued during the steel strike,
causing many thousands of Office
and plant workers to seek vaca-
ton facilities throughout the Lake
Erie and Michigan recreation
areas.
He said that the state has re-
cinded its closing order against
campers in East Harbor Park, be-
cause of the tremendous demand
for vacatlonland spots. The order,
however, does not include Cataw-
ba State Park, because plumbing
facilities there are still incomp-
lete.
Finefrock said that in all the
years he has been connected with
Vacationland and the Chamber Of
Commerce, he cannot recall such
a heavy demand for vacation.and
information as was recorded here
last month.
He urged all persons having any
type of accommodation for tou-
rists, to either notify him, any
member of the Chamber OF Com
merce, or the Vacationlard booth
al the foot of Jefferson street.
