Portable room heaters have
always looked like portable room
heaters and in some homes, even
though the desire and need
existed, comfort and convenience
were sacrificed because a port
able heater didn't look well in
the room, or people might think
the heating system inadequate.
The skills of one of Americas
leading engineering firms plus
the design arts of leading
stylist have been combined to
produce series Of heaters that
at first glance resemble a stun
ming waste basket or large ice
bucket mounted on a tubular
stand which permits titling.
One of these models features
fan-forced heat to produce
fireplace glow. With a capacity
of 1920 watts, it delivers AZ
cubic feet per minute of warm
air. A special safety switch cuts
the electric current instantly if
the heater is tipped over on its
face. It is finished in silver
gray enamel with bright chrome
trim. The heater has a long,
gaceful handle for easy port
ability. It is IL inches in height,
11R inches wide and 13 inches
long and weighs Z pounds.
Another model, similar in de-
sign and appearance is finished

trim.

Airport Work
Okayed By City

RunwayS at Port Clinton's- muni-
cipal airport are to be hardtopped
as soon as possible, with the city's
aviation board using advance rent
al funds volunteered by two
hangar owners to complete h e
job.
Carl Heckler of the Board of
Public Utilities told councilmen at
Tuesday evenings meeting that
the aviation board has spent $4,000
thus far to haul in and spread 1000
loads of stone donated by the
Kelley Island Lime and Transport
Company of Marblehead.
Expenditures were for hire of
trucks to haul the stone and for
some additional equipment. Heck
ler said it would cost $500 more
to blactop the stone and that the
board has only $1,000 remaining.
This money originally was donated
by individuals and the airport work
thus far "has not cost the city a
penny"
Councilman Lee Bracken of the
aviation board said that oil and
hardtop stone chips are needed
for the hardtopping process, which
would make the runways Semi-per-
manent.
When Heckler reported that the
two hangar owners had volun
teered to pay $1,000 each in ad
advance rental payments, if found
councimen asked City Solicitor
John Reinheimer if such action
would be legal.
AS council feels the hartop pro-
cess is needed and the city has no
money to complete the job, Coun-
Gilman Charles Ruddock moved
that the board of Public Affairs be
granted approval to 60 with the
project and to accept the 1O-year
adfance rental payments, if found
legal by the solicitor. The motion
was approved unanimously.
Both the north-South and east.
west runways have been excava-
ted and filled with stone, and now
will be hartopped in the near flu
ture. When completed. Port Clin
ton will have the only hardtop-sur
faced runway between Toledo ane
Cleveland.

DEADL|NE FOR
GARBAGE PLAN
IS NEXT FRIDAY

With the October 2 deadline on
ly a few days away, most Ottawa
County communities have yet to
complete arrangements for gar
bage disposal to meet strict re-
quirements now being enforced
by the Ohio Board of Health.
While the Ottawa County Board
of Health had warned all village,
town and city officials in this coun-
ty of next weeks deadline several
months ago, the problem is yet to
be solved in all villages but Genoa,
where arrangements have be e II
completed for garbage burial.
Under the new regulations, the
present garbage disposal system of
collecting and feeding to pigs no
longer is permitted. After Octo-
ber 2, garbage can he fed to an
imals only if it is pasteurized and
the process is not only expensive
but time-consuming.
While Port Clinton has plans for
construction of sewage disposal
plant, naturally it cannot be built
within a week and this city also
must conform to the new regula.
tions after next Friday. For sew
eral years John Holly has collected
the garbage and fed it to pigs at
his Holly Lane farm.
County Sanitarian Lyle Kibbel
stats that Oak Harbor, Elmore and
Port Clinton have asked the county
commissioners to acquire proper
ty for land fill projects, two such
areas to be located strategically
for convenient hauling in the
county.
Marblehead and Lakeside also
are Interested in the land fill plan,
under which Cheap" land is
trenched, garbage dumped in the
trenches and covered to a two-foot
depth with ground. Under this plan,
poor producing acreage can be re-
claimed.
While the communities would
furnish funds for the collection and
disposal. Other refuse as well as
garbage could be dumped in the
trenches. Kibbel estimates cost
would be about sixty cents per
capita. If communities fail to make
arrangements by October 2, they
will be liable for prosecution.
