Possibility that Route 2 may be
re-opened to traffic in August in
stead of November was seen here
this week when Willis R. Rogers,
state highway department division
engineer in Toledo, reported work
on the six-mile stretch near Bono
has been progressing ahead of
schedule.
The heavily-travelled highway
has been closed over a year and
traffic has been detoured over
Route 1853. Two steel bridges are
also being constructed in Route 2
and when completed, the project
will cost more than a million dol
lars. Official completion date is
November 80.
After Route 2 is re-opened, State
Route 1853 between theWoodville
Road near Genoa, and Oak Harbor,
will be re-surfaced, Rogers said.
This stretch of road has been badly
damaged by the increased traffic
and now is avoided by most local
drivers. This project now is in the
program status, which means the
project has been approved but no

CLEVELAND Man
HURT IN ISLAND
STOCK CAR RACE

Edward Tierney, Cleveland, suf-
fered fractures of the elbow and
ribs Saturday afternoon during the
Cleveland Sports Car Clubs annual
races at nearby Put-in-Bay. He was
flown to the mainland and brought
to Magruder Hospital via Gerner
and Wolf ambulance.
Tierney was racing in the second
event of the day, 12-lap, 37.2
mile race, which, was red tagged
at the conclusion of the tenth lap
after Tierney's MG car overturned
after hitting the baled straw bar
rier at the curve in front of Tony's
Place in downtown Put-in-Bay.
AS a result of this accident, first
place and the trophy went to Stiles
Twitchell, Cleveland, who also was
driving an MIG, His fastest lap
matched the 3:O4 chalked up in the
first race.
First place in the final event,
originally set for 15-lap, 46.5
mile race, went to Don Janik,
Cleveland, who was leading the
field at the conclusion of the ninth
lap when car overturned and

turn. Janik had posted 3:O4 lap
before the race was halted.

for MGs when he toured the TO-
lap, 31-mile distance in time of
31:40 for an average MPH of 59.2.
His fastest lap was a 3:04.
Because of accidents, only one of
the races on the program was COM
pleted. Fans, however, got their
full share of thrills as the small
power plants slid around the cor
ners Of the course, and hit speeds
almost up to 100 miles per hour
on the straight-aways.
Under ideal conditions, the three
races were run over a 3.1-mile
course around the island, with SEN
sati0nal times being turned in by
drivers of the small foreign cars
who courted injury and death at
every corner.
Enthusiastic over the success of
their Put-in-Bay road races, Off
cials of the Cleveland Sports Car
Club Immediately started formu-
lating plans for next years pro-
gram, which they believe will at
tract more drivers and spectators.

SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS

Everyone knows that the social
security taxes paid by employees,
employers, and the self-employed
are used to pay old-age and sur
vivorS insurance benefits. Most
everyone realizes that the reserve
goes into a Trust Fund. There is
considerable misunderstanding "a
bout the use of the money deposit
ed to the Trust Fund. and frequent
criticism Of the investment of this
reserve III government securities.
This practice. some people al
lege, results in double taxation for
those who pay contributions to-
ward old-age and survivors in
surance benefits. They maintain
that they are taxed on their COW
cred earnings, and taxed again to
redeem the government bonds
held by the Trust Fund. The error
in this notion lies in the asSump-
ton that the payments on the ma
tional debt are a social security
cost. Actually, the Federal debt
is wholly independent of the social
security program. Purchase of
government bonds by the Trust
Fund does not mean that the ma
tlonal debt is increased but mere
~ that the bond purchaser, in this
instance, is public agency rather
than private investor.

Hen Eggs
Fight Disease

PEARL RIVER, N. Y.-The ord
mary hens egg. so popular on
Americas breakfast tables, is
playing vital role in medical
sciences efforts to eradicate many
virus-caused diseases.
Scientists here at Lederle Lab
oratories Division, American Cy-
anamid Company, use over a.
100000 eggs a year in researching
and producing modified live virus
vaccines.
Already on the market are mod
flied live virus vaccines to i'm
munize dogs against distemper and
rabies, mink against distemper,
and poultry against several killing
iSeaSeS.
The egg may eventually play an
important part in combating Grip
piling polio. Late last year. Leder-
lie scientists announced that they
had been able to grow d modified
strain of polio virus in the hens
egg. If an egg-produced vaccine
for polio can be perfected, pro-
duction would hardly be a prob
lem, since eggs are always in good
supply.
