Folks about our town are in the
limelight as the new year dawns.
Friday, January 8, over WTAM at
1920, Bob Hope will give his
/ Woman of the Week citation to
one Of the finest of our citizens,
Mrs. William Lumley. The honor
comes from her Operation Books,
which has provided thousands of

Korea. Truly a merited honor and
the Leader salutes Americas
Woman of the Week.

Earle C. Hochwald on his election

I Ministers Fellowship of Greater
/ Cleveland.
Top winner in last weeks Cleve-
land News camera contest was Sgt.
Charles Kastilahn of the East
Cleveland Police Department. The
shot was of son Douglas, 18
months, beside a Christmas snow
man in the yard of the Kastilahn
home, 1927 Avondale rd., South
Euclid. Good work, Chuck. Good
subject, too.
From Christmas Eve through
Sunday, January 3rd, the police
recorded the arrests of II intoxi-
Gated persons, 13 intoxicated driv-
ers and three special intoxications.
That word Special" indicates
something beyond straight intox,
anything from property damage to
resisting an officer. Fortunately,
no one was seriously injured in
traffic here in the same period.
Newest of the National Safety |

taking its cue from advertising be-

save lives, just as it has helped
create for Americans the highest

Verify, it payeth to advertise.

SpOrtsn1en Table Idea For
PriUnte Hunting Reserves

If restricted hunting reserves are
to be set up in the Button country
side, it will probably be by small
groups of interested hunters and
landowners rather than by an organ
ization as large as the Bluffton
Community Sportsmen's club which
numbers more than 1000 members.
This was the unofficial opinion
expressed by several local sportsmen
Monday after directors of the large
Bluffton club indefinitely tabled a
proposed hunting reserve idea at
their meeting.
The club director gave brief
hearing TO the suggestion for leas-
ing restricted hunting privileges on
large blocks of local farm land.
Don Geiger, Ray Cummins and Mar
lin Amstutz, youthful members of
the local club, explained that similar
privately stocked reserves have been
unusually successful near Bowling
Green.

The directors gave the suggestion
some discussion when voted to table
it.. Considered in the discussion was
the fact that if the large club were
TO undertake such q project, it would
necessarily have to open the grounds
to all its members. With 1000
eligible to use the grounds, it would
defeat its own purpose, several said.
In other action by the directors it
was decided to delay the opening
OF the annual Trout Derby next
spring until May l, one week later
than this year and two weeks later
than the Derby opener of '53.
New Years Day was set as the
date of the annual Buckeye Lake
cleanup, and on the following day

usky Bay area on their regular
fish buying trip. Fish to be stocked

Buckeye Lake Water
Back TO Normal
In Oxygen Supply

Bluffton's Buckeye Lake, in
which hundreds of large fish
died the latter, part of October
because of o mysterious deple-
tion of the waters oxygen
supply, is completely back TO
normal, tests indicated this week.
Tests made by the municipal
sewage disposal plant operators
showed the oxygen IN the lake
water had risens to 1872 part
per million as compared with Is
parts at the time the fish died.
At least 3 parts of oxygen per
million is required to sustain
fish life.
It Is believed that the large
number of tree leaves which fall
in the Buckeye i'm early fall
start to decompose on the
quarry bottom thereby exhaust
ing the oxygen supply.
