HEALTH BOARD
EMPLOYS new
COUNTY NURSE

Ottawa County has a full
time health nurse again, after
being without the services of
a nurse since the July resig-
nation of Mrs. Terase Telep.
Mrs. Dewey Klein. who re-
sides at Catawba and who former
ly was an industrial nurse at the
Standard Products Co., started her
new duties Monday. Her employ
ment was officially approved by
the Board of Health at its meeting
last Thursday night.
Mrs. Klein is a graduate of st.
Luke's Hospital, Toledo. She had
post graduate work at Boston
Lying-In Hospital, and at Toledo
State Hospital. She was employed
at a 42-hour-per week basis. said
Health Board members.
A member of the Board said
the group was appreciative of the
recent offer of the Ottawa County
Health and tuberculosis Society
to pay a part of the county nurses
salary, if finances were the reason
for lack of a nurse here. But, he
said, the county department will
not need the financial help and
that the lack of nurse was oc-
casioned only by the time requir-
ed to find the right person for the
Job. The new nurse will assist in
follow-up work of the TB Associa-
tion's case finding program, as did
Mrs. Telep.
Much of the Boards session
Thursday was devoted to discus
sion of sanitary regulations. A
state code regulation requiring
two toilets must be provided at
any place with five or more en-
ployees was reported to have been
violated at drive-in east of town
and the matter has been called
to the attention of the proprietor.

Codification of Port Clin-
ton city ordinances in a print
ed, bound and indexed book
was voted by City Council
Tuesday night, and the Cleve-
land firm of Banks and Bald
win was hired to make a study of
local ordinances and help Council
plan revisions and additions.
Termed by Solicitor Adair Will
ber and Council members as one
of the most important and neces-
sary steps the legislators has TAX
en-, the codification will cost about
$4,000. But the action will pay
for itself, they feel, in these ways:
Keeping hundreds of dollars in
fines on the local level instead of
seding them to the state; savings
in publication expenses - the pro-
posed building, criminal and traf-
fic codes now being studied by
council would cost some $4,000 for
local publication as required by
law unless they are included in
the new codification.
Laws passed after the codifica-
ton is published must be handled
in the present manner, but will be
added to the code which will be
in a loose leaf form.
The newly organized code of
laws will make it possible for any
citizen to find any law on the
books, in a quick and easy man.
ner, Council declared.
Council passed a resolution of
necessity to improve w. Fifth-st
between Harrison-st and the ath-
letic field. 1t also started the study
of some kind of definite policy to
make clear to the public procedure
as to annexation of property to
the city.

once more give me the fine sup
port I've enjoyed in the past"
