KOREAN VETS ENTERTAINED
BY AMERICAN LEGION POST

Port Clinton's American Legion
Post No. 113 was host Friday
night when score of Korean Vet
Grams gathered at the Legion Hall
to enjoy fish fry and travel
film narrated by Lou Klewer,
sports columnist for the Toledo
Blade.
Archie King took over as mas
ter of ceremonies after few well
coming remarks by Legion Com
mander "Hap" Arnold. Mayor
Carl Becker presented each veter-
an with scroll signed by Cover
nor Frank Lausche, honoring his
service.
Lou Klewer's film, shot during
recent South American triIl
presented a superb technicolar
documentary. Mr.. Klewer explod-
ed an archaeological bombshell
when he stated that the Spaniards
who landed in South America in
the early sixteen hundreds were
not the first white men to exploit
that country.
A number of exquisitely fash
ioned pottery vases were uncov-
cred recently and scientific tests
indicate that the men who made
them existed during a period be-
fore the 18th century. Some Of
the vases were decorated with
finely nodded faces among them
several which were unmistakably
Caucasian. n
South America unfolded as a
land of extremes in geographical
beauty, from hundreds of miles Of
arid, waterless coastline, to dense
tropical jungles, much of it unex-
plored by the white man.
Mr.. Klewer, who was eager to
hook a marlin in the waters which
abound with a bewildering variety
of fish, apologized ruefully for
falling. The apology wasn't neces-
sary. The fish used for bart by
Klewer's party would have repre-
sented record catch in this area.
Members and guests enjoyed
fish sandwiches and beer at the
conclusion of the film, along with
generous helpings of potato chips,
cheese, olives, pickles and pret-
zelS.
Commander Arnold extended an
invitation to departing guests to
drop in anytime and make them
selves at home.
The following received certifi-
Gates: TEIom Marshall, Jack C.
Carstens, Roland E. Qualman, A.
Robert Dykeman, Leon B. Ahrens,
Ramon Regal, Paul Nau, Richard
E. Lambert, Gaylord Vogt, Elton

''The achievement of longtime
service records, free of absenteeism
because of illness, has long been a
source of pride, to the American
worker.
"You have achieved this goal,
and are one OF but seven employ
ees of this depot who can boast O.,
a perfect sick leave record during
the past five years, 1948 through
152.
'You have set noteworthy at
tendance record that is a real
model for those who choose fed
eral employment.
while it is not the intention of
the law to deprive any individual
of sick leave when he is ill, do
feel that the long record which
you have established shows a de-
votion to duty, which, 1 believe, is
considerably above the average"
