Ohio LEADS NATION IN ARm0RY
CONSTRUCTION FOR 0. n. GUARDS

The year end report of the Ad-
jutant General, Major General AL
bert E Henderson submitted re-
Gently to Governor Frank J. Lau-
sche, concerning the Armory Con-
struction Program for the State of
Ohio brought out the facts that
Ohio leads the Nation in National
Guard Armory Construction and
Development.
"The original plans for Armory
Construction were determined in
1947 by a board of senior officers
of the Ohio National Guard. At
this time, the amount of money
needed by the State was figured
as against the amount of Federal
Funds allocated to the program of
development and construction. The
schedule of building was Set-up in
order to provide Armories in areas
needing them most. This schedule
has been followed with little
change from original plans and is
ahead of the time limits set up for
construction" General Henderson
stated.
Portsmouth, Middletown n d
Lebanon Armories were completed
during 1852.
The 1853 Armory Construction
Program called for the building of
six armories, one each at Urbana,
Painesville, Lorain, Willoughby,
Wooster and Tiffin. The first five
are presently available for occu-
pancy, and the Tiffin Annoy will
be completed early in 1854.
The 1854 Construction program
includes three larger buildings, one
each at Ashtabula, Springfield and
Newark. Bids for AShtabula Arm
ory have been requested and will
be opened in January. Preliminary
plans are finished and these
should go through the successive
stages of planning and construc-
ton 10 bring ABOUT cOmpletlOn by
end of 1854.
In addition to armory construc-
tion, the Development Program for
the Guard directed by General
Henderson included the Camp Per.
ry flood wall to hold back Lake
Erie waters; the Newark Ordnance
Shops; various Airfield improve
ments; Heating plants for Service
Centers; Warehouses and Garages;
Electrical installations and Build
ing repairs.
The Cost of Construction by the
Adjutant Generals Department
will reach approximately $4,000,
OO0., of which Federal Funds con
stituted 1870, and the State share
came to $50 of Actual Armory
Construction. On projects like

Since Christmas is past many
homemakers have received useful
gifts to be used in the kitchen or
laundry A favorite gift to give is
utensils that are used for cooking
which are manufactured with vari-
Gus metals. Popular metals that
are used are; stainless steel; stain
less steel and copper; and alumni
num- Each pan in itself has GER
tain drawbacks concerning the use
and care.
With stainless steel ware the
user must be careful of uneven
heating and heat staining. This will
naturally call for more watchfull-
ness during the cooking process to
prevent burning of the food and
staining of the outside of the uten-
sill. Low heat would be best until
you have learned the maximum
amount of heat that can be used
with the pan.
Pans that have stainless steel
sides and copper bottoms will pre-
sent the problem of too fast of heat
transference and cause burning of
the food. This type of pan may
cause trouble because of the COM
bination of two types of metal with
different characteristics, therefore,
to cook properly in this pan low
heat and shorter time in addition
to watchfullness will be required
to accomplish good results. Care
of the copper is not difficult -
either copper polish or a combina-
ton of vinegar and salt will polish
the copper.
Aluminium pans will stain with
certain foods, but this can be re-
moved by cooking an acid food in
the pan. The impression that alum
mum utensils should not be used
in cooking because the aluminium
deposits in the body to cause cer-
tain diseases has no basis of proof.
Doctors have stated that as far as
time tested surveys are concerned
that none of these statements are
true. Cast aluminium pans do give
the best and most even heat trans
ference and in this way do not
burn the food as quickly.
This article is to help you save
money with food and to give you
a better idea how to use your new
Christmas gift. If you have any
questions on utensils or new kit
chen equipment you are cordially
invited to come to the Extension
Office and talk to me-

Plan Al BuiIdinu

Plan Al BUILDING
Approval of a tentative plan for
a All building to house swine,
sheep, poultry and rabbits has been
voted by the Junior Fair Board.
The plan had previously been
presented to the Agricultural
Council but no action was taken.
Approval by the All Junior Fair
Board does not mean the building
will be constructed. The group has
simply said that the building plans
answer very definite need. Au-
thority to go ahead with construc-
ton is in the hands of the Agri-
cultural Council. This group plans
to meet January q.
Several individuals have indi-
Gated willingness to cut native
timber this winter in their woods
to be used in framing the building
A few All Clubs and some indi-
vidualS have indicated willing
ness to contribute funds. However,
they are reluctant to do so until
a definite plan of construction has
been approved.
We had thought to do you a nos
talgic column reminiscent of past
days on the farm. However, we
find it would be too long as we'll
as showing our age. So we'll cut it
short by saying we had some nice
days during the holiday season
down on the farm. Saw old friends
and did some things we hadn't
done in years.
We do want to thank all you
folks who so kindly sent us Xmas
greetings. Your best wishes are
one of the finest rewards we get
in our work. We do want to men,

Approved for KentIand

The Prince Georges County
commissioners yesterday ap-
proved creation of a special i'm
provement district in Kentland
after the Kentland Citizens AS
sociation was assured that it's
new district would qualify for
State aid in financing street
lights.
Earlier the civic group had
considered withdrawing it's petit
ton when the county attorneys
Office last week uncovered a new
law passed by the 1853 Maryland
Legislature which was inter-
preted as cutting off all State
aid to any district formed after
January /. 1858.
Yesterday, however, County
Attorney Calvert Lancaster ruled
that the law did not affect auto
registration refunds, the main
source of aid for special improve
ment districts. He said it does
have the effect of discontinuing
all refunds from the State gaso-
line tax to the five such districts
formed since January /, 1853.
The Kentland Citizens Asso-
citation announced. meanwhile,
that 1t will start work on petit
tions to obtain street lights for

70-Cent Fare Links Cleveland
To Fringe Parking Lots

Two Of the loop lines run
through the downtown area and
the Public Square, serving the
stores and Office buildings. A
third shuttles back and forth
along East Ninth street from
the present municipal lots to
Woodland avenue. where the pro-
jected lot will be.
Chicago Developing Lots.
Chicago is going in for down.
town parking lots as well as
fringe parking lots. The idea
is to get automobiles of the
streets and reserve the streets
as much as possible for travel.
That city has sold $22.6 mil
lion in revenue bonds, the pro-
ceeds being used to buy land and
develop parking lots and park
ing decks. Facilities in the CEN
tral business district and the
North Michigan avenue area will
provide space to park 6,767 au-
tomobiles.
An underground garage for
1850 cars is being constructed
by the Chicago Park District in
Grant Park and under Michigan
avenue from Randolph street to
Monroe street. The estimated
cost is $8.3 million.
The Chicago Transit Authority
also has a program for estab-
fishing parking lots at strategic
terminals where motorists may
transfer to and from rapid tran
sit lines. It already has two
lots with a total capacity of 600
cars. When the new rapid tram
sit line to the west side operating
below grade in the center strip
Of the Congress Street Express
way goes into operation. a new
west side terminal will be built
which will include parking lot.
This Is to encourage them to
use CTA rapid transit.
The transit authority an
nounced. just the other day, it is
starting a survey of parking IA
cilities near the stations of its
rapid transit lines. It probably
will list parking facilities avail
able and distribute the lists to
motorists. It will also probably
encourage development as park
ing lots Of vacant areas which
are conveniently placed.
