FERRY SERVICE HERE DEPENDENT
ON SUPPORT GIVEN NEW BOAT
DECLARES ERIE ISLE OFFICIAL

Whether Port Clinton is to have
sustained ferry service to Put
in-Bay, after the new boat, Erie
Isle, is put into service next May
will depend on the amount traffic
supplied to the craft by people Of
this area, George Lonz, Middle
Bass, secretary of the Erie Isle
Co., told members of the Port
Clinton Chamber of Commerce
last Thursday night.
He said the Mystic Isle was sold
because it never made any
money in its four years Of opera
ton. The Erie Isle is more
economical boat of practical size,
"and beautiful to look at - she's
honey" he exclaimed
The new, diesel-powered boat,
now berthed at Sandusky, await
ing the opening of the 1852 sea
son, was designed by John Alden,
Of Boston, and built by John Car
ter, Cleveland, who constructed
the Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw.
The Erie Isle has the same sleek
lines, although much smaller. She
has a beam of 25 feet and is 65
feet long, and can carry 180 per-
sons and six cars.
Lonz attended the meeting with
Jim Poulos, treasurer of the Erie
Isle Co. Poulos pointed out that
the ferry service is a business
stimulant to Port Clinton, having
carried, in the past between 35,-
600 and 10000 persons between
the island and mainland each sea-
son.
The Chamber of Commerce was
issued an invitation to take free
maiden voyage on the Erie Isle
when she opens the season here
sometime in April. Scheduled
trips will get underway no later
than May /, he said.

they all come from prosperous
families.
"Our supreme task" states Mrs.
Jones, "is to equip each girl so
that she is eventually able to re-
turn to society and family living
through the uses of socio-emo-
tional psychotherapy." To this
end, the girls have set ZIP a stu
dent council with Miss Muriel
Tingley, assistant Supervisor Of
the school, as advisor. Meeting
once week, the girls present
their personal ana emotional prob
lens. These are discussed freely
among the group, suggestions for
improvement coming from the
girls. Augmenting this, there is
planned procedure to develop
good personality traits. The girls

without supervision, a small pay
ment is given. In this way, sew
eral of the girls have been able to
become financially independent.
Each Sunday, the girls go to
churches of their own choice,
some of them going with various
local families. Gilmore has given
our undertaking marvellous un-
derstanding and cooperation"
Mrs. Jones proudly states. These
family "get togethers" are valu-
able experiences for these girls,
as they can test their ABILITY to
get along smoothly with other
people"
What does the future hold for
these girls? Mrs. Jones feels
that some of them will be able to
do routine jobs when they have
completed their training, This
possibility will be entirely de-
pendent upon an employers ac-
ceptance and understanding of the
girl and her particular problem.
Others will fnid that homelife is
much more pleasant experience
than heretofore. Until then, the
girls live an orderly, pleasant ex-
istence together. Elmore can be

Glasses were in session when we
arrived at the RoSalind School for
Girls in Elmore. Sewing, typing,

terests Of the twelve girls who live
the year around at the school,
There had been no outward indi-
cation that the beautiful brick
home houses one of the most in
teresting and socially valuable
schools in this area. For it is
here that young girls, finding
themselves beWildered by con-
fusing and often cruel outside
world, are learning how to do
something about it in an atmo-
sphere of kindness, family living,
and an enthusiasm for normal eX-
istence.
When widowed at the age of 81,
Mrs. Vesta Jones, director of the
Rosalind School, found herself in
need of vocation to help support
her two young boys. She com
pleted her college training and

Dual Business Organizations In City

Kreutzfeld, Former c. of c. Secretary

Port Clinton business men are
handicapped by too many organiza-

Fred Kreutzfeld, secretary of the
Lorain Chamber Of Commerce
told the Port Clinton Chamber Of
Commerce at its February dinner
in the Island House last Thursday
night.
The speaker, former part time
secretary of the local Chamber.
declared this city does not need
two retail merchants organiza-
tons. He suggested that mer-
chants of the city should form a
retail division of a general organ
ization, instead of operating as a
small independent unit, having
eual membership in both the
Chamber and the Merchants AS
sociation.
An effective Chamber of Com
merce, KreItzfeld said, should
have a full time secretary, and Of

derstanding with city officials in
all things pertaining to the city S
best interests.
Despite big strides which have
been made in cleaning up the lake
front, the speaker declared, Its
still mess, and will require lot
of effort before it can be shown to
visitors with any degree of pride. .
He also suggested that the fishing
pier be cleaned up and m a d e
more presentable to visiting fish
ermen, and he stressed the need
for an adequate mooring shelter
here for small boats.
In his outline for projects
which should interest the local
Chamber, Kreutzfeld declared

and should require the New York
Central Railroad to cut down the
slx-foot weeds along the right-of-

Kelly Dunn, president, who pre-
sided at the dinner meeting. the
first of his new administration,
expressed pleasure over the large
turnout of Chamber of Commerce
members. He said he wants q
hundred suggestions from mem.
bers as to how the Chamber can
more effectively serve its com
munity, adding that when the sug.
gestions are all submitted, he
would like to have them merged
into half-dozen comprehensive
projects which the Chamber "can
then take up and work out OBJ
jectively."
In an open forum discussion fol
lowing the meeting several mer.
chants amplified the suggestion
that the two existing conflicting
business organizations should con

PRODUCES TWO
MAMMOTH EGGS

Two of the largest eggs pro-
duced around here in several
years were laid last week by
White Rock pullet owned by
Charles J. Preston, who has a
small flock on Bay Shore road.
The first egg measured nine
and one-quarter inches in circum-
ference the long way and weigh
ed slightly over five ounces. With
in the egg was another, nearly
normal in size with complete
white and yolk, the same as the
large egg had which encased it.
Satisfied that that was the larg
est egg he would ever witness in
his hen house, one can imagine
Preston's surprise when about
four days later, he discovered an
other huge egg in nest. 1t
measured IA inches across its
length and 25/5 inches across the
middle. Its long circumference
was 91/4 inches and 1874 inch
es about its girth. This egg tipped
the scales at one-half pound.
These eggs were measured and
weighed at Johnny Kosa's store,
Bay Shore road, and at the Otta-
wa Couny News office ard the
county extension offices in Oak
Harbor. All who viewed them
agreed they were the largest seen
in this section.
If anyone knows of larger eggs

gests that a contest might be
