No protection was needed. A

Big Egyptian Barrage
The last French units, bat

ron of tanks. left earlier from
the eastern banks of the harbor
entrance to the Suez Canal.
The Egyptian barrage was
bigger than anything yet seen
these past few weeks. Hundreds
of shots resounded through the
city. but all were aimed at the
sky.
1t. Gen. Sir Hugh Stockwell,
commander Of the British
French forces. received word
from the United Nations that
one of their officers had seen
the kidnapped British 1t. An
thony Moorhouse in Port Said
this morning, and that the
Egyptians had agreed to release
him. The Egyptians said they
could let him 60 only when an
Egyptian Army officer arrived to
supervise the turnover. probably
tomorrow.
Gen. Stockwell said the de.
lcision to release the lieutenant
appeared to be a result of United
Nations work. He did not elabo,
rate. The lieutenant was~cap-
tured IL days ago.
Delighted, Man
Gen. Stockwell was a delighted
man as the fleet set sail shortly
before the last tank landing ship
pulled away from the beachhead,
he shook hands with Brig. Harry
Grimshaw. commander of the
withdrawal operation. and went
aboard the command ship Tyne.
A few minutes later, as the
troops went aboard landing craft,
Gen. Grimshaw stepped on-the
last man TO leave Egypt-and the
little war was formally over.
The withdrawal was completed
seven weeks after the British
French assault on Egyptian air
bases. 1t reached a climax No

But the cease-fire order came

invading troops got as far as
81 miles down the road from
Port Said.
The days since then have been
spent mostly in waiting.
The Illustration felt by the
troops was expressed by a COR

NOTES FROM OTTAWA -
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM

Two Ohio State University stu
dents - Richard Papoi and Marvin
Mason - arrived last week to get
apprentice training as co. agents.
AS you see them at meetings and
other occasions please make them
welcome.
Overliming can happen accord
ing to Myron Bachtell of the Ohio
Experiment Station. Lining should
be done by soil test, he says, rather
than by guess. One 20 years test
at Wooser showed that only 800
pounds of lime was needed per
year per acre to maintain neu-
trality or the sweetness.
Clarence Bringe had a. problem
that many persons run into -
that of bees in the wall of house.
Sometimes beekeeper will extract
these bees to put in a hive. How
ever, the possibility of disease and
the work involved makes it hard
to find beekeepers interested. So
we turn to killing the bees off in
their nests with D.D.T. Dust a

large amount down on top of them
through their entrance or bore a
hole above the nest and put in the
dust.
A week ago l attended a little
party in Findlay for F. G. Hall
who is retiring as county agent in
Hancock County. / was impressed
with the testimonials given by his
co-workers ani fellow county
agents. 1t is readily seen that if
the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice holds a position or respect to-
day it is in large measure due
to the pioneer work of these first
agents. Makes me feel bit more
proud of my job of working with
people.
Everybody wonders why the CO.
agent can't do something about the
weather. Thanks for the compli-
ment, but | think we will all have
to be patient with Mother Nature.
There have been wetter springs
than this and with most exceptions
everything came out all right. But
it takes a lot of patience to sit
idly by waiting for the ground to
get fit. However, when the weather
does break there will be plenty of
opportunity to put in some IL to
16 hour days.

real well. 1t is real help in soggy

ture you will want to watch.

LIBRARY HAS
RECORD MONTH

The library had a record month
in April with the circulation
reaching 1894. This figure, which
is an increase of 8343 over last
April, includes 1882 books taken
from the main library, over 1000
books circulated from the high
school branch, 335 circulated thru
the Ohio Pupils Reading Circle,
and over 5000 books circulated
from schools collections taken out
by teachers or sent to schools.
Even though only few hundred
books are actually sent to the
schools, the books are read to the
classes or are read by every child
in the class, thus accounting for
the large circulation from books
sent out in collections.
The library will be closed Fri
day for the Library District meet
ing here.

From an initial acquisition cost
of $230,000, Erie now has facility
of approximately $35, 100000. The
area today is about the same as in
1918, approximately 1400 acres, the
increase in value being the result
of plant improvement and expan-
sion.
Thru the years, Erie has main
tanned and gained prestige in the
local community an dhas become
vital part of Ottawa County.
Erie's record in World War l, II,
and the Korean emergency is one
to be proud Of as well as their
peaeetime preparedness program
which proved itself in 1850 at the
outbreak of fhe Korean War.
Erie is proud to be a part of the
Ordnance Corps and cordially in
vites the public to join with them
and the rest of the nation in OBJ
serving Armed Forces Day, Satur-
day, May 10, and to pay tribute to
the Ordnance Corps.

Following World War l, and
until the outbreak of World War
ii, Erie remained a small peace
time post, serving mainly as store
and issue point for ordnance ma
terial, with peacetime strength of
so employees.
Big Job
In 1910 with the second world
war underway in Europe, Erie be-
came beehive Of activity with an
estimated 20 percent of the mobile
artillery and armor plate used by
the United States and her allies
under lend lease proof fired, test
ed accepted and shipped from Erie.
Following World War ii, Erie
again reverted to peacetime opera
tions, and guns of all makes and
sizes were shipped back to Erie to
be stored.
High Employment
Employment reached an all time
high in 1943 of 1000 and after ces-
sation of hostilities went down to
1000.
The Korean Emergency again
found Erie ready to meet the chal
lenge of large defense effort and
proof firing of new weapons along
the mile long proof front mush-
roomed into action.
Late in 1851 Erie assumed the
additional responsibilities of be-
coming the key depot for supplies
an dparts of antiaircraft materiel
for Army Ordnance. With the ad-
dition of this mission, Erie has the
initial source of supply for all in
stallations and activities east of the
Mississippi River, attaining the
highest depot level of activity for
storage since its founding back in
1918.
The development into a guided
missile repair center, the most re.
cent mission delegated to Erie,
promises potentiality of several
years of work for the maintenance
storage and stock control functions
of the depot.
Erie's 2468 employees are stead
lily engaged in accomplishing as
signed work programs.
Erie in employing hundreds OF
civilians from surrounding com
communities, is responsible partly
for the increase in population in
this area, and for providing mil
lions of dollars inn salaries to be
spent in the area. A total of 1,065
