quakes.
Constructive
The army takes a major part in
the constructive tasks confronting
the young state. Through it many
of the new immigrants came to
learn the language and to love the
country.
1t is generally recognized as
being the finest force in the Mid
die East, second only to the Turk
ish army. 1t is completely SUBJ
servient to the government, which
in turn is responsible to the demo-
cratically elected Knesseth.
AS its name implies, the Israel

sion, but stands prepared to pro-
tect the state, its independence,
democratic institutions and its
people, at all times.

NEW TEACHER
is EMPLOYED

After weeks of search for a COM
mercial teacher here, Port Clinton
high school had two good appli-
cants in Commute period last
Thursday.
Hired was Miss Geneva Hankish,
OF Bluffton, who started her new
teaching assignment Monday after
her contract was approved Thurs
day night by the board of educa-
ton. Miss Hankish is a graduate
OF Bluffton College and has been
working on her masters degree
at Bowling Green. She taught at
Defiance for seven years, and the
past year was at New Riegal, O.,

posted at Bowling Green by Super
intendent Sims, she learned of the
vacancy in the local school.
Board members, among other
business at their session, approved
purchase of IL lunch tables to be
used in the elementary school gym,
which is used as a dining room by
children who carry their lunches.

Godfrey Buys
Matthews Yacht

The Great Godfrey surprised his
family last weekend with a new
42-foot Matthews cruiser, and the
Port Clinton-made yachts and the
company that makes them have
been getting plenty of raves from
the famous redhead on his TV
shows this week.
Godfrey acquired Matthews
42-foot Convertible Sedan about
four weeks ago, but officials of the
local company were sworn to Sec
recy because he wanted to surprise
his family with the new boat last
weekend. He showed movies of
the cruiser on Tuesday mornings
show.
The new Godfrey boat, said Mat
thews vice-president R. E. Rey-
nolds, has pair of V8 engines,
200 HIP each. 1t sleeps six, and has
a flying bridge. The cruiser has
electric refrigeration with 110 volt
current. 1t will be called the Mary
B. II, Mary being Mrs. Godfrey.
This is the second Matthews cruis-
er the radio and TV celebrity has
had, since he owned one some 10
or IL years ago.

COUNCIL CONSIDERS RATE CONTRACT
SUSPEND RULES
FOR WATER WORK

Acting under suspension of rules,
city council Tuesday night unani-
mously adopted a proposal by the
utilities commission to immediate
ly advertise for bids for the laying
of an additional 12-inch water line
from the waterworks to Hayes-av
and a 10-inch line from Jefferson
to MadiSon-st at an estimated cost
of $4,000.
A plea from county commission
ers, heard at the Aug % meeting,
to extend the 12-inch line to Maple
st was discarded after Supt. Will
liam Crohen told the solons that
funds were not sufficient to carry
the project beyond Hayes-av, "but
it could be extended at a later
date"
Responding to a query from
Councilman George Schade who
suggested that delay might re-
suit in outside financial help,
Crohen said Il don't expect any
outside help l don't think
we'll get any.
Earlier he had reported pos
sibility that county funds might be
available for the Maple-st exten-
sion.
Mr.. Crohen said the county re-
quest would require an additional
$4,000 and that commissioners
contemplated consulting the prose
cutting attorney (Myron A. Rosen-
treter) to determine legality of
such assistance.
Mr. Crohen told council that the
additional line would provide ad-
ditional pressure for the downtown
area as well as the east end. He
said state fire officials particularly
had requested additional water
pressure for the downtown section,
adding that the project had been
under consideration for about nine
years.

With Schade dissenting and Rud-
dock passing, City Council by 81
vote Tuesday night authorized So
licitor Adair Wilber to prepare
legislation appropriating $4,000
for the widening and resurfacing
of a 2900-foot stretch of State-st,
long one of the city's most ne
elected thoroughfares.
The action climaxed a lengthy
discussion involving such points as
whether sufficient funds we're
available and whether the project
shouldn't be extended 200 feet
more to prevent a possible traffic
bottleneck.
Treasurer George Tewers brought
up the latter point and said the
job if done ought to be extended
all the way "for the sake Of every
body"
Present plans call for a 4-foot
widening on each side of the street
plus blacktop resurfacing from
Lincoln-dr east to the railway
crossing into Standard Products
Co. property.
Mr.. Tewers contended the pro-
ject should be extended east an
additional 200 feet to prevent a
