Highway Maps Are
Still Available

New highway road maps printed
this year in observance of the ses-
quicentennial celebration are still
available despite the limited sup
ply" said S. o. Linzell, Director
of Highways.
Linzell added, ''The fact that the
Department did not print road
maps in 1852 plus the momentum of
the sesquicentennial celebration
has increased demand expectation,
but single copies of the new map
are available to Ohio drivers, and
may be obtained by writing the
Director of Highways, Columbus
Is, Ohio" He continued. ..'They
will also be available at the dis
plays of the Ohio Department of
Highways at the County Fairs and
at the State Fair for those who do
not wish to write"
The new Ohio road map features
an up-to-date marking of the roads
in the state and an 1904 map
which outlines the road situation
when Ohio became state. The
new map is a colorful reminder
that Ohio is celebratin its 15Oth
birthday.

NOTES FROM OTTAWA -
COUNTY AGENT
FRED CRINp

Visited my neighbor Dale Gnep-
per last week He showed me
where he had applied sawdust as
a mulch in his garden. The
ground was loose and easily hoed.
There was plenty of moisture too.
Later on saw Bob Teeman of
TBN sawmill. He mentioned that
sawdust was available free from
their mill anytime So if you want
70 conserve moisture and do it
free get sawdust.
One of the incest letters we
have ever seen came last week
from Mrs. Wilbert Gates. She told
how much she enjoyed the All
trip this year. Wayne GateS-a
son has been All member for
many years. AS twelve year old
he helped build the All building,
Last week he joined Uncle Sans
Army.
Vim Nugent and his wife were
very gracious hosts when the an.
nual fruit tour was at their farm
and orchard. Lunch was served to
several folks. Some of the young
Sters poured lemonade for the
many hot dry throats. l am sure
all the visitors to the Nugent
farm appreciated the cordial hos
pitality.
Ottawa County had one of the
largest delegations at the state
cattle feeders barbecue at Kentor
last week. Ten men took their
wives for a grand total of 36 per
sons. 1900 persons were served pi
barbecued beef.
Orchard men expect Golden Ju
bilee to be ready soon. Othel
peaches have been on the marke
for some time. So you ladies whC
like lots of canned peaches in the

Both publications will be man
aged by Allen C. Foster, who
joined the Bob Reider organiza-
tion in January of this year. Me-
chanical work of the new publica-
ton will be performed in the
firms Port Clinton plant.
Mr.. Foster announced that the
first issue of the new paper will
be off the press Aug. 20, that it
will be published bi-weekly, and
its name will be chosen by read
erS in a contest to be conducted
by the merchants association.
Businessmen in the area have
received the announcement with
tremendous enthusiasm. Decision
to establish the paper was made
following an extensive survey and
weeks of careful study. The area
to be served is described as the
fastest-growing section of Greater
Toledo.
Mr.. Reider revealed that the
new paper reflects one phase Of
an extensive expansion program
the firm has undertaken since
moving into its larger, new quar-
ters seven months ago.
Heaviest gains, he said, are be-
ing shown in the commercial
printing department and the firm
has an immediate need for skilled
labor for both day and night
shifts in its Port Clinton plant.
A steadily increasing volume OF
large industrial printing orders
plus several pending new con
tracts, has forced the firm to re
wise its expansion program and
enlargement of the company's Port
Clinton plant, scheduled 70,
spring, may be moved ahead fol
fall construction, he stated.

Beetles Feed On
Damaged Corn

Black beetles that sweet corn
growers find in damaged ears ey-
large injury started by other pests
says T. H. Parks, extension ento-
mologist at Ohio State Univer-
sity.
They are called "sap beetles"
and some have four spots instead
of being entirely black. Best way
to remedy damage they do is to
control other pests.
Parks explains that sap beetles
can not damage sound ears. They
enter the corn after borers, worms
or birds have started feeding. Sap
beetles enlarge such damage and
their young are small white worms
found among the kernels.

Referendum Set
For Wheat Growers

The wheat marketing quota ref
erendum to be held August ID
will be conducted at five voting
places in Ottawa County, advises
Chairman Kersten of the County
Production and Marketing Admin
istration Committee. Polling
places will be open from 800 a.
m. to 500 p. M, and each will be
in charge of a local referendum
committee of wheat growers ap-
pointed by the County PIMA Com
mittee.
Chairman Kersten urges every
eligible wheat grower to vote,
those receiving Is acres allotment
or more, since the outcome of the
referendum will materially affect
the price farmers receive for
their 1854 wheat. He points out
that if two-thirds or more of those
voting favor marketing quotas,
wheat loans at 80 percent of par
ity will be available to those who
plant within their wheat acreage
allotments.
If marketing quotas are reject
ed by the growers, quotas will not
be in effect and the support rate
on 1854 wheat will drop to so per-
cent of parity for cooperators.
Acreage allotments will be in
effect for the 1854 wheat crop re-
gardless of the outcome of the
referendum, he explains. If mar
keting quotas are in effect, those
who exceed their allotments or Is
acres, whichever is larger, must
store or dispose of their excess
wheat as directed by the secre-
tary or pay the marketing pen
atty on the excess wheat. The
marketing penalty is As percent of
wheat parity as of May /, 1854.
The officially designated polling
places for the August IA wheat
referendum in Ottawa County are:
Erie, Portage, Bay, and Danbury

Port Clinton.

Need Good Springs
For Good Chairs

Comfort and wear in seats of
upholstered furniture depend
largely upon the number of springs
and the way they are tied down.
Jane Schoppe, extension home
furnishings specialist at Ohio State
University, says quality furniture
will have 9 to IL and even Is
double-coiled springs of tempered
and painted steel. Medium and
lower grades of furniture will have
fewer springs. They probably will
be less springy steel.
In best quality furniture, springs
will be tied rather than held down
by steel clips, Miss Schoppe says.
Skilled workmen know just how
tight to hand-tie springs for re-
silence. They use strong, special
tying twine.
Best furniture will be tied about
eight times, medium quality about
six and lowest quality about four
times.
Metal clips, sometimes used to
hold springs, are reasonably salts
factory but they bend and work
loose. Then the seat begins to
rattle and springs pop up through
the seat covering.
Buyers of upholstered furniture
usually have to depend upon the
integrity of the furniture dealer
regarding springs Informed sales
men will be eager to talk about
quality features, the specialist
says.

Perjury Is Charged
To Applicant for
Marriage License

A formal charge Of perjury
was lodged against a man yester-
day on the basis Of testimony he
had given during trial of a civil
damage suit earlier in the week.
He is Harry T. Long. 80, Of
the 100 block of Eleventh street
NE. He is charged with making
a false statement on a marriage
license application last July. He
admitted, during trial of the civil
suit, that he answered mo" on
the license application where it
asked If his f1ancee had been
married previously. He testified
during the civil case trial he
knew she had been married be-
fore.
Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE of
the U. S. District Court for the
District Of Columbia, who pre-
sided at the civil trial, ordered
Long locked up Thursday. pend

j. Laws set Longs bond at 81 900.
A formal perjury charge was
filed yesterday against Long by a
detective of the police Special

was taken before United States

who postponed a hearing on the
perjury charge until April 20

also in it. He had claimed dam

ices" for injuries the woman
contended she suffered in a fall
on a Capital Transit bus. Judge
MCGUIRE ruled the woman had
failed to prove she suffered in
juries as claimed.
He then threw out Mr.. Longs
claim. It was testified, during
the trial. that Long and the
women had never married after
