you were at the Port Clinton Art
lists Clubs show or at the Vincent
van Gogh exhibition in Toledo
over the weekend, you probably
noticed that the famed Dutch art
lists last painting was ''Cornfield
with Crows" while the latest paint
ing by Port Clinton artist Priscilla
Rhiel is "Cornfield." Mayor Harold
Jeremy was among the many local
persons who attended the tea,
which the Port Clinton Artist Club
held Sunday afternoon at their
show in the Toledo Artists Club,
1923 Collingwood Blvd. The local
artists will have their exhibition
on view throughout the month and
you'll enjoy their artistry.

Ohio was one of the IL top va
cation states during the past year,
according to the fourth nationwide
vacation travel survey completed
by the Research Department of
The Curtis Publishing Co. Vaca-
TONERS named Ohio as the destin-
alton of 4.8 per cent of all trips
taken during the year. New York
state had 10.9; California, 8.4;
Florida, Z per cent; Pennsylvania,
ST.; Michigan, So and New Jer-
sey, 4.8. Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Virginia and Massachusetts, COM
pleted the magic dozen, in that or
der. New Jersey is the only sur
prise to us and we presume most
of its strength came from New
Workers heading to Jersey to
"beat the heat"

Monday, March Is, is red let
ter day on anyone's calendar. First
and foremost, your income tax re-
turns must be in the collectors Of
fices by that date. March Is also
marks the end of the muSkrat
trapping season, and the opening
of the lake fishing season. So-fig-
ure your tax, put away your traps,
and get out your nets! If you have
as much trouble figuring your tax
as we usually do, you'll need those
nets to catch butterflies before the
guys in the white coats come
around.
Looks good to see some activity
around Camp Perry these days, af-
ter so much inactivity. Several
barracks, formerly used at the re-
ception center during World War
II days, are being almost COM
pletely rebuilt for the arrival of
permanent Army AA troops later
this summer.

Ken and Greta Reynolds, the
Put-InlBay business people who
are wintering at Largo, Florida,
sent us copy of the Gulfport Tri-
bune, in which appears a picture
of the couple and 80 other friends
attending a reunion at the Wins
trailer park near Largo. Imagine
it won't be long before Ken and
Greta head north for another big
summer at Put-In-Bay.
