PERMANENT "A
TROOPS LEAVE
BASE FOR PERRY

Some of the permanent Army
troops to be stationed at Camp
Perry this year already are en-
route to the Erie Township state
reservation, but they won't arrive
here until mid-June.
Special troops, part of the bat
talon of anti-aircraft soldiers due
here, have left their former base
at Fort Bifss, Texas, and now
are at their stop over base at Be-
thany Beach, DelawareI enroute
to Camp Perry.
Principal reason that the per-
manent troops can't reach here
before mid-June is the fact that
bids for the rehabilitation of bar
racks and other facilities at Camp
Perry were not opened until Tues
day at Army Engineer Headquart-
ers in Huntington, West Virginia
AS the successful contractor will
be given go days to complete the
necessary work, Camp Perry will
not be ready for the arrival of the
600 soldiers until June.
Another large group of service
men, battalion of Marines from
Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, i.
due in July to prepare the range.
for the National Rifle and Pisto
Matches.
Colonel Noah Rodeheffer, VIII,
will command the Marines, ant
Major Paul DePrey, who will serv,
as Quartermaster during the Mat
ches, will arrive here July 1st fo
the remainder of the summer.
General Julius Stark is now Of
full-time duty at the local bas
as Camp Perry commander. H
formerly served as Ohio's assist
ant adjutant general.

We don't know the answer, but
reports of islands being wiped off
the face of the earth do begin to
sound alarming. Wondering how
other people felt about the atomic
bomb project we asked ten people
in Port Clinton their views on the
subject. Their answers follow.

CEMETERY REMOVAL FOR new Pike
STARTS GHOST RUMORS ON PROWL
by MiSCH
BY JUel Reed Cover

Like the premature stories of
Mark Twain's death, the current
rUmors that men are being en-
ployed at $40 an hour to move
cemetery in the path of the turn
pike project between Port Clinton
and Fremont are slightly exagger-
ated.
They are exaggerated to the ex-
tent that: QO The pay is So an
hour, not $40; (2) the bodies bur-
led in the old cemetery are not
exclusively victims of black
plague, as the current reports
have it, and 60 the cemetery is at
Bellevue, not in Ottawa county.
But there is some measure of
truth in the reports that have had
local high school boys by the doz-
ems going to the construction site
to apply for summer jobs, as we'll
as attracting numerous inquiries
lIOlli lOIdl uHCillplOyCu.
And nobody is more surprised
that there is some foundation of
truth in the story than is l.. b
Brown, who is office manager for
the Wang Construction Co. at the
turnpike project.
Up until last Friday, he said, he
was telling applicants there was
no truth in the story. When the
turnpike project was underway
near his home town of Colinville
Pa, the same story started, ant
there wasn't a cemetery within ;
couple miles of the planned route
So he figured this was just case
of history repeating itself.
But Friday he discovered tina
there is a cemetery which mus
be moved, an old burial grount
near Bellevue, and that men wer
to be hired at So an hour to NOV
the bodies to new location.
AS far as the "black plague
angle goes, Mr.. Brown doesn'
know where that started, and he'
heard no mention of it. There i
no way of telling what caused tn
deaths of the people in the oil
But nevertheless, nil precal
tons will be taken. Workme
hired fol the project will be keE
in sty1ct quarantine while tn
transfer of bodies is being mad
, The mcn will be quartered at tn
construction site, and not allowe
, to leave until the project is con
pleted, and they have passed rigi
medical examinations.

Many legalities would have to
be Strengthened out before any
such sale could become reality.
Several times in the past, the pro-
posed sale was announced but at
the last minute, the plans were
changed.
Rumors of the proposed sale
were brought to light when James
Darden and James Ohlemacher,
tenants of the Sandusky public
housing units, were sent to Wash
ington, D. c., recently to protest
proposed rent increases there and
in Erie Gardens.
Larry Lucas, chairman Of the
rent protest committee here, con-
tinues to do everything in his
power to kill the rent increase,
effective yesterday.
Lucas this week received letters
from Congressman Thomas Burke,
John Bricker and Cliff Clevenger,
but none of the letters gave much
encouragement.
Burke wrote that Public Hous
ing Administration authorities
still indicate the rents would be
| increased April 1st to meet rising
maintenance costs.
| Meanwhile in Washington, the
House Rules Committee knocked
the props out from under the Adl
ministration's public housing pro
gram. The Rules Committee refuS
ed to sanction an Appropriations
! Committee recommendation thai
would have kept the public hous
! ing program in existence on ,
skelton basis during the next fisca
year, which starts July /.
AT that time, the appropriation
group sought to modify 1875,
ban against any new housing com
mitments.
This weeks action in the Hous,
of Representatives leads some ere
dence to the story of the housin,
units sale. With a continued in

The witches Field.

Tom stumbled through the
tunnel. The crashing noise and
the dark and the aloneness ter
rified him. He expected to find
himself gobbled up by witches
at every turn.
Instead, the tunnel suddenly
ended. Tom found himself out
doors. There, on the bank of a
purple river, stood Handsome,
the elf, calmly holding the bow
of a funny little orange boat.
Nearby was a waterfall. This
was the cause of the crashing
noise that had SO frightened
Tom In. the tunnel.
Get in" said the elf, point
ing to the boat.
Tom climbed in and settled
on the plump cushions which
covered the bottom of the boat.
The boat swept away although
it had neither sail nor motor to
propel it through the water.
Tom had a hundred questions
to ask. But before he could ask
the first one the elf said, II
think I'll sleep now because /
am very tired. You see I was at
a dance last night. I danced
with Old Mother Hubbard. A
delightful creature! We danced
the night, away"
Tom Went to Sleep.
"Oh, my!" breathed Tom. But
before he could ask for more de-
tails of the dance Handsome was
asleep. And before Tom could
help himself he had done the
same.
The little boat drifted on and
on. The purple water turned to
yellow, then to green and then
to red. The boat moved to the
shore and stopped with jolt on
the edge of a big field.
The elf awoke.
Here we are," he said, nudg-
ing Tom. 1.-THE Witches Field" /"
Tom jumped up. He gazed
around. All he could see was the
big field spotted with haystacks.
II don't see any witches!"
Look again. Look three times
and then tell me what you see" "
So Tom looked once, twice,
three times and still he could
see nothing except the fields and
haystacks. He was SO disap-
pointed.
Lets go Closer" said Hand
some. land look again."
The two of them got out of
the boat and walked across the
field. When they reached the
first haystack it suddenly moved
