AREA LUCKY TO
HAVE FERRY,
SAYS SPEAKER

Jack H. Norris, secretary-treaS-
urer of the Lake Erie International
Vacationland, congratulated Port
Clinton as one of the few cities
around the rim" fortunate enough
to have an already established fer
ry when he spoke at a dinner meet
ing of Lake Erie Islands and PENN
Sula Vacationland Tuesday night at
the Island House.
Telling of new ferry boat to go
in service from Erie, Pa, to Port
Dover, Ontario, Mr.. Norris de-
scribed his organizations efforts to
aid the interested groups on both
sides of the lake in obtaining the
boat. Interested terminal cities
have already made dockage avail
able and an individual party in
Port Dover has donated land for
ship-side parking.
Rex Corfield, manager of the
travel and resort department of
the Plain Dealer, spoke on the
great demand for cottage facilities
here, scoring the fact that he has
never been able to get listing of
available facilities. He advocated
interesting new realtors and de-
velopment companies in potential
business.
Several thousand 1856 Vacation
land folders have already been
mailed out. April, May and June
meetings will be changed to the
third Wednesday of the month.

Ohio Nun. League
Asked For Advice

A letter 10 the Ohio Municipal
League is being sent out by Coun-
Gilman Ralph Forester asking for
Qualification of certain legal as
poets regarding the city's new
youth program.
The newly appointed Recreation
Board met Wednesday night with
Joint parks and finance committees
of Council to discuss the planned
program, and set another session
for three weeks.
A question on whether two
Board members can serve has
arisen. State regulations may bar
Lee Davis, since he resides out
side the city limits. A letter from
a Mr.. Brewer in Toledo, field
director for the National Recrea-
tion Association, Saturday told Mr.
TeWers that an elective official
Council President Boyd Martin
was named member of the new
Board is barred from serving.
Whether this would also be true
of the two School Board members,
Mrs. Dale Hostrup and DR. Ken
meth Carter, is a phase that also
needs Qualification.
Solicitor Lowell Petersen is
studying the matter and visits to
nearby towns where similar youth
programs have been set up are
being planned by the committee
group.

quartet winds up with these indi-
vidual records, outside of district
tournaments: Scott, IA wins, nine
losses; Sharon, IA wins, six losses;
Sally, Is wins and seven losses;
Jack, 18 wins and five losses. 1t is
a record of which the community
may we'll be proud.
For Sharon and Scott, it is the
end of high school speech work.
Sharon is one of three local high
school students to receive four
year speech award. Scott has par
ticipated in speech work for three
years, and is recognized as one of
the strongest high school debaters
in the state. Sally and Jack are
both juniors, so their talents will
be good foundation for next
years squad.
This year Port Clinton went into
Class A competition in the state,
which is divided into just two
classes, A and B. But the squad
held its own against such larger
schools as Massilon, Canton McKin-
ley, Columbus North and Lorain,
all season. However, they lost the
Northwestern Ohio District Cham
pionship for the first time in six
years to Sylvania Burnham, and
were eliminated from the National
Forensic League District contest by
Massilon
A high school debate team
doesn't get the glory and the rec
ognition, perhaps, that an athletic
team receives. But in the proud
hearts of a community = this one,
at least = the kids who conquer
foe with word and intelligent logic
play just as important a role in
making a school notable.
