Soil tests are rolling in from the
state laboratory. Many of them
show increased need for fertilizer
high in phosphate. We have seen
this phosphate deficiency through
out the county on growing plans,
especially tomatoes. A soil test will
clear up any doubt and now is
the time to get samples tested.
Set aside February 10 to attend

members for it brought to Port
Clinton a realization that art here
has become factor that can have
a far-reaching affect ON this vaca-
tionland area. Guests from New
York, Minnesota, Michigan, and
Pennsylvania were among those
registered.
Popular vote cast by visitors
selected the exhibit of Mrs. Eve
Maddox, w. Catawba Road, for
first place in the adult division;
Madonna Heschel, second place;
Gaynelle Livingway, third place;
Ann Nelson, honorable mention. In
the children's division, 12-year-old
Wynn Warner took first place for
an action-filled baseball painting;

Friderici was third. Honorable
mention went to Scott Asman and
Dan Kennedy. A committee of
Priscilla Rhiel, 10 Paulus and Eve
Maddox picked the winners in the
juvenile department. Rotary Club

conner to local art circles. Her hus-
band, Wallace w. Maddox, is an
executive at the Standard Products
Co. and the family came here in
May from Cleveland. She has been
painting seriously" for Is years,
and has had several exhibitions as
we'll as having sold a number of
paintings. Her show exhibit was
three oils, winter Scene, eau
tumn Scene, and Portrait Of A
French Girl', plus bass relief
Copper sculpture) picture. Oils are
her favorite medium, Mrs. Maddox
says, but she finds enjoyable va
riety in the bass relief work.
Madonna Heschel's fine work
needs little introduction to Port
Clintonites. Her magnificent por-
trait of Christ Come Follow Me"
occupied spot-lighted position of
honor on the stage. Teacher Gay
nellie Livingway's excellent work,
voted third place winner, showed
much talent.
