Johnstown, Pa. - Lets
20 for Joe!" was the response
received by the Committee of
GU. Lodge 5 when we an
nounced that the Annual
Charity Ball this year will be
held for the benefit of Jo-
seph Hickman" Gregorich,
once a stalwart athlete and
now a disabled victim of the
dreaded Burgers disease.
The event is scheduled to
take place on Saturday, July
81, at the Croatian Hall, with
the Sheridan Athletic Club,
with which bro. Gregorich is
affiliated, joining hands with
us to co-sponsor the affair.
Joe Gregorich is a member
of Lodge 5 and the Sheridan
A. G. Through friends I
learned the plight of bro. Gre
gorich and together with Mr..
Michael Perich, President of
the Sheridan A. c., we paid
a visit to the modest little
home where he lives with his
aged mother.
During our visit we learned
that Joe, whose gridiron
prowess is still talked about
in sports circles in and around
the Johnstown area, contact
ed this disease several years
ago and almost ten years ago
lost one of his legs, and is
now threatened with the loss
=, of the other. f
, We knew Joe some twenty
years ago when we were team
mates on the old Florida Hill
| Olympics football club which
, roamed the gridirons of Wes-
, tern Pennsylvania before the
: dawn of professional football
in this area.
Joe played brilliantly for
| this aggregation, playing a.
gainst teams like Art Room
ey's Pittsburgh Majestics, the
f.. Rox Rangers, Christy Park
and others in the Pittsburgh
area and many clubs in the
east.
After this club disbanded,
Joe joined the Sheridan A. G,
: and was one Of it's outstand-
ing players for many years,
Both Florida Hill and Sheri-
dan Clubs were composed of
players of Croatian descent.
:. AS we reminisced with Joe,
t we could not help but recall
some incidents of his playing
days. W. could not help but
D remember that no matter
how hard Joe was hit on the
playing field, he was up with
! a smile and a pat on the back
for the opposing player.
e The smile which character
/ lied his playing days is still
l in evidence today. Joe does
1 not complain. He does not let
fear paralize his mind, spirit
or heart. The fighting spirit
: still dwells in his being and
although fate cast a dark sha-
dow in his young life, he has
shifted his troubles from his
mind and heart to his Shout
ders.
: Joe has a smile for his
! friends. When we told him
: about this proposed Charity
Ball and how his former team
t mates and fellow Lodge mem
bers are going all out for him,
r he expressed his deep graft
r tude.
RI Joe needs many things
. which are out of the ordinary
necessities of life such as a
Especially construed e,
braces and other devices to
make life just a bit easier.
h Since his illness has pro-
: crossed and rendered his fin.
: gers numb, Joe cannot pursue
+ any hobby but spends his
. time reading and playing with
8 his little nieces and their
friends. His mother is his
o best companion.

HOSPITAL FUND
drive REMAINS
OPEN TO APRIL |

A vigorous campaign TO Sue
cessfuIIy conclude the drive for
new wing at Magrvder Me-
mortal Hospital will be conduct
ed the balance Of this month,
campaign officials announced
Monday following a sampIins of
opinions from volunteer workers
at the final report.
It was voted to continue the
drive another thirty days when il
was discovered that numerous
residents of the county, who had
previously expressed a desire to
give, had not been contacted.
In both Port Clinton and Oak
Harbor, under the constitution
the cities will be divided up into
blocks with a volunteer taking &
single block. 1t is felt that under
this means, no one will be missed
in their opportunity to give towarc
the muchly needed project.
Latest report on the amount o1
pledges secured in the campaign
was 1927 ,852. However, there have
been some returns received which
were not listed in that figure
Many cards are still to be returned

the mean temperature was 49.343.
In 1865 it was 5O.389. In 1900 -
507; 1920 - 49.4; 1858 = 1914
and in 1852 - 51.2.
From these figures it can be
seen that average temperature for
the year does not very enough to
say that our season is changing in
any direction. Other statistics on
rainfall-SnoWfall-frost dates all fol-
olw the same pattern with flucua-
tions from year to year, but in the
overall picture, remaining quite
constant.
Mr.. Coleman added, People re-
member more snow in years past
because when we had more timber,
snow had tendency to stay long
er and accumulate. Roads were
not cleared as fast as they are to-
day, but the snowfall averages out

SEEK FUNDS To
PAVE PERRY ST.

Unless City Auditor William
Zeis and members of the Councils
finance committee can stretch the
budget or transfer funds from
other categories, Port Clinton will
be unable to put up its $4,000
share of the proposed Perry Street
paving project this year, and the
much needed improvement pro-
badly will be postponed by the
state highway department.
Only $4,000 was budgeted for
street repairs and council Tuesday
night decided it could not 'let
the rest of the streets go to pot"
while Perry Street is repaired.
Scheduled for completion this
year is the widening of West Third
Street from Harrison to Madison
Yet to be completed are East Sc
cond, Adams, Jefferson, and Mon.

many other streets also need i'm

To back up his statement Don

HUNDREDS SIGN
ERIE GARDENS
RENT PROTEST

Petitions, bearing the names of
over $50 residents of Erie Gard
ems, as well as resolutions and
letters of protest from veterans
groups, labor unions and realtors,
are being sent to the Public HouS-
ing Administration headquarters
in Chicago and to area congress
man this weekend, in a mass pro-
test of the proposed rent increase
for Erie Gardens.
Lawrence J. Lucas is serving
as temporary tenant rent chair
man and others circulating petit
tions include Steve NaSy, Clifford
Franck, Jay Fitch, Conrad Lauer,
Joe Vargo and Chancie King.
The petitions claim that: pro-
posed rental rates to be effective
April l are higher than rental
rates of comparable units else
where in Port Clinton and this
area; that Port Clinton and this
area is now suffering from con-
siderable unemployment and that
the proposed increase will work
hardship on residents of Erie
Gardens; that if rental rates are
not kept the same, a new appraisal
should be made to determine com
parable rental rates, and that the
proposed rates are unreasonable
and violate both the spirit and
letter of the law in that Public
Housing Units rental rates are to
be based on comparable rates in
the area.
If the proposed rates become
effective April, minimum rental
would be $4,000 for the smallest
units and the maximum would be
$3.50 for the largest, gas-heated
units.
At the present time, Erie Ord
nance Depot workers have a pre-
ference among applicants at Erie
Gardens. Among EOD employees,
veterans have first preference.
All applications are accepted,
however, if the families are quail
fled in the distressed" category.
Thursday night, Port Clinton
Legionnaires approved a resolu
tion protesting the rent increase
and this Tuesday evening, the v
F. w. Post voted to mail protests
to congressman and other offici
ais. Local 497, UAW-CIO, also
planned to take like action this
week.
Letters from several local real
tors also will be mailed to officials
in supporting the protests.
Bolte Realtors stated: GAS the
oldest brokers in this area anc
lifelong residents of the com
munity, we feel that the presen
rents for Erie Gardens units art
high enough for this location ant
that an increase would be unjust
ifiable."
Realtor Emery Gielow stated
considering all factors of rem
comparison in this area, / woult
say that an increase of Erie Gard
ems rentals at this time woul
make them excessive and incor
sistent with the services provio
ed"
Realtor Herm Frederick ais
submitted letter in protest o
the proposed rent increase.
