FIREWORKS ARE
ILLEGAL STATE
MARSHAL SAYS

Harry ]. Callan, Ohio State
Fire Marshal, today announced
that fireworks are prohibited by
Ohio law and that his office would
do all in it's power to prevent the
sale or use of these dangerous
articles.
"Now is the time of year when
many out of state fireworks con-
Germs are taking advance orders
for fireworks in Ohio and many
citizens are placing orders for
fireworks in anticipation of sell
ing them in the few days prior to
July 4th." "The oaly fireworks
which are legal in Ohio are those
which are shot in connection with
public exhibitions, which have
been approved by the fire chief
or sheriff, Callan said. land il
is against the law for any indivi-
dual to buy, sell, possess for sale
at retail or shoot any fireworks
in Ohio" 'It is my hope, Callan
stated, "that all parents will ex
ercise close supervision over their
children and see that they do not
purchase fireworks from ads in
comic books or cheap pulp mag
azines or shoot fireworks at any
time"

Excellent" In a nutshell
that's how job opportunities
shape up for June, 1852, gradu-
ates of Ohio State University.
Even young men about to enter
the armed forces are being inter
viewed now for work after their
period of military service is over.
This information is revealed

Ohio State and of several schools
within the colleges.
The employment trend is still
upward, according to placement
officers. Military service lessons
the number of men available for
civilian employment and stepped
up production in industry and
business increases the need fol
college graduates, reports John
E. Steele, placement director fol
the College of Commerce and

Steele says this year is 'by fal
| the most favorable labor market
that college graduates have ever
| faced"

Many Groceries
Below Ceiling Prices
SAYS Kroger Head

Little if any change in the
weekly food bill was foreseen to-
day by Joseph B. Hall, president
of the Kroger company, as re.
suit of OPS ceiling price adjust
ments on several food items,
scheduled to 60 into effect soon.
Actually, more than half Of
all the foods sold in grocery
stores today are below peak cell
ing prices and most of these be.
loW-ceiling foods are the staple
items most frequently bought by
people in the lower and middle
income groups" Hall said.
Food prices are determined
more by competition and supply
than by price ceilings" he con-
tinued. Most foods are in abun-
dant supply now, and food prices
in general are below those of a
year ago and substantially lower
than the peaks that followed out
break of the Korean War"
Of so consumer food items
reported on by the U. S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics recently, A.
are below their peaks of the last
two years. Reductions are as
much as 46 per cent and sub.
stantial number of the declines
have been by more than ten per
cent.

'E0D OPTICAL
DEPARTMENT CUT
BY 100 WORKERS

A cutback in items to be re-
built to meet fund limitations
necessitates the immediate re-
duction in force of approximate
ly 100 employees in the Optical
and Remote Control shops of Erie
Ordnance Depot
The reduction in force is being
accomplished in accordance with
civil service regulations.
The reduced-in-force employees
held indefinite appointments
which were made with the. un-
derstanding that employment
might be of a temporary nature,
and very few with more than a
wear of service at the depot will
be separated.
The majority of employees af
fected by the reduction in force
have been notified, and given
thirty day advance notices of sep
aration.

GROUND OBSERVERS MAY WORK
AROUND THE CLOCK IN AREA

Success of the statewide ground
observer test last week has boil
stored plans for around the clock
watch in 81 states, including Ohio,
Captain James NJ Diley, head of
the Air Force Filter Center in Co.
lumbus, stated in a communica-
ton to the News.
He said when the 27-state oper-
alton goes into effect on a seven
day-a-Week basis, the Port Clinton
area will take over a full time job
in the intricate defense network
of the nation.
The mission of the ground OBJ
servers, he explained, is to scan
the skies to detect all aircraft
coming within their assigned area
of operation-enemies which could
conceiyably be enemy bombers
armed with atom missiles.
Wayne Petersen is county direc-
tor of civilian defense for Ottawa
county.
When aircraft are sighted by an
observer, he or she quickly reach
es for the telephone and says "Air-
craft Flash" to the operator. Long
distance lines are made available
Immediately to the Columbus Fill
ter Center and the report of air
craft sighting is made.

Collections From
Sales Tax Leaped
Upward Early In May

Collections from the sale of
prepaid sales tax receipts for the
week ending May 8, 1852, totalled
$3,274,312.53 as compared to $3,-
924, 988. 49 for the corresponding
week of last year according TO
Roger w. Tracy, Treasurer Of
State, who said that the difference
of more than $65O,OOO was due to
the purchase of unusually large
amounts of the stamps a year ago
in anticipation of the reduction in
discount to licensed vendors from
3 per cent to 2 per cent which was
effective May 81, 1851.
Tracy said that the next two or
three weekly reports showed ST.
milar reductions, but that the re-
turns were normalized again af-
ter the middle of the month.

reports are marked on a large
plotting board by civilian volun-
teers who have been specially
trained, as are the observers, in
this vital work. A series of such
reports on particular plane will
form line heading in a specific
direction. This line will indicate
the planes path and, in many in
stances, give the first clue to its
possible target-if it should turn
out to be an enemy bomber car
rying an atom bomb to one of our
key targets.
Information from this table-like
plotting board is quickly relayed
to an undisclosed U. S. Air Force
Radar Station. Here, in the Sc
crecy of the radar operations
room, data from the GOO volun-
teers is pieced together with addi-
tional information which has
been received from radar.
On the basis of information
from both radar and the GOO,
split-second decisions are made to
send fighters aloft to intercept
planes about which the Air Force
has no previous information indi-
eating that they should be in the
particular area where they have
been detected. Every unknown
aircraft is investigated from the
air-by fighter planes which are
fully armed, ready to strike if the
unknown turns out to be some
thing other than civilian or
military plane off its predetermin
ed course.
These fighter planes are literal
ly "at the beck and CALI of the
civilian volunteers of the Ground
Observer Corps. On the basis OF
information from one observers
telephone call, an entire city
might be saved from atom bomb
attack.

Ohio Population
Increased 1870
In Last Decade

Secretary of State Ted w.
Brown has completed the publish
ing of the "Ohio Seventeenth Fe-
deral Census. booklet giving de-
tailed information of the 1850 fe-
deral census, which was not Of
ficially certified to him by the
Director of the Bureau of Census,
Washington, D. c., until Septem-
her 4, 1851. The late certification
by the Federal department ac.
counts for the delay in the com
piling, printing and distribution
nf the booklets.

Sesquicentennial in 1858, Secretary
Brown pointed out, is estimated to
have had population of 45,000
in 1903 when it become the 18th
state of the Union. The first fe.
deral census taken in the Buckeye
State in 1910 showed a population
CT 230,760 as compared with Z,
946,612 reported in the 1850 &c
cennial census.
Based on the figures reported
as of April l, 1910 when Ohio hao
6,907,612 population, the state
had an increase in population Of
1,039,015, or 1870 during the 10
year period.
Among the states, Ohio rank:
fifth in population. Cleveland, the
largest city in Ohio, had a popula
ton in 1850 of Ola, 808. There are
78 cities in Ohio with a popula
ton of 10000 or more in 1850

Chamber Of Com. Comnends
City Commission For Work In
Beautifying Area Near Beach

made the motion that resulted in
the resolution to fhs City officials.
During the discussion of the mat
ter, it was pointed out that a nice
sign or marker really should be
erected at the foot of DuvaI
Street to indicate that this is the
southernmost point in the United
States. Such a sign would be much
photographed by visitors. Because
Of the salt waite spray during the
windy weather, the marker should
necessarily be of cast metal, in
order for il to remain somewhat
permanent. A heavy cast metal
marker set in concrete would also
discourage vandals and souvenier
hunters from damaging IT. II is
hoped that some local organization
will elect to sponsor the erection
of such a marker as q project.
The Chamber Of Commerce is
willing to cooperate but is not in
a position to finance the entire cost,
ii was pointed out by the organi-
zation's treasurer. William H. Arm
old. To adequately do the job, II
is estimated that several hundred
dollars should be raised to COM
plete the project.

Calf. Quake
81 Injured; Untold
Damage To Buildings;
LA Rocked

BAKERSFIELD, Calf. Up - A
major earthquake Jared this city
Friday, killing two persons, injur-
ing 80 and shattering buildings.
Another sharp jolt rocked Los An
geles early today, but was not even
felt here.
Fridays temblor was the second
big one in 80 days to hit Bakers
field. The 1O-second quake cascad-
ed masonry and glass into the
streets. Some highways buckled.
Walls fell, roofs collapsed and par
apets crumbled.
Dust clouds boiled up, blotting
out the sun. Damage is expected
to run into the millions of dollars.
On the other hand, today's shock
in Los Angeles, 125 miles south
of here, apparently caused no DAM
age, although it was strong enough
to awaken hundreds of residents.
The shock started at $40 am, Pa
cific Daylight Time.
While Bakersfield ssbusiness dis
tricts were heavily damaged Fri
day, residential sections, for the
most part, escaped unscathed.
Police patreiled blocked OFF down
town sections through the night to
prevent looting Of stores damaged
by the two major quakes and doz-
ems of aftershocks. ~
The dead are Mrs. Edna Led
better, 26, of nearby Mcfarland,
caught under the collapsing roof
of store in which she was shop
ping, and George Patman Cozby,
81, a Southern Pacific Railroad
engineman, Bakersfield. He was
trapped in the wreckage of the
Kern County Equipment Company.
A hundred and six city blocks
In the business districts of Bakers
field and East Bakersfield, hardest
hit by the quake, were roped off
to everyone except those with busi-
ness there. Hardly a business block
escaped damage.
City Manager c. Leland Gum
declared Bakersfield a disaster
area and proclaimed a state of
emergency. The county board of

transferred from the courthouse

also a hazard to swimmers. With
their removal, the entire area looks
much better, officials stated.
