Danbury Church
Shows Noted Film

MARTIN LUTHER, full
length feature film, will be shown
at st. Paul Lutheran Church at
Danbury next Sunday evening,
March 11th, under sponsorship of
the Brotherhood of the church
The general public is invited to
attend the showing beginning at
7:30 pm. There will be no admis-
sion charge but a free-will offering
will be taken.
This film was produced at a cost
of half-million dollars, with a
cast and crew of seven nations on
location in West Germany. The
story deals with the 10th century
monk who defied communication
and the stake in his demand for
religious reform. The title role is
played by Mall MacGinnis, British
actor, who heads a cast and crew
of over five hundred. The script is
based upon Catholic and Protestant
sources and leans heavily on his
toric documents for its dialogue.
This film has won national acclaim
for its accurate portrayal.

PORTERS LOSE
TO TIFFIN IN
FINALS CAME

Port Clinton High Schools
1955-1956 Porters, one of the
best basketball teams in re-
cent years with a caliber not
justly reflected in a season
record of 1875, won it's semi
final tilt against Sandusky Blue
Streaks Friday 62-52, but bowed
to Tiffin Columbian 74-63 at the
Sandusky sectional tournament Sat
urday night
Tiffin's Tornadoes will represent
the section at the district tourna-
ment in Toledo Friday. Coach Geo.
JanSon'S squad has a 14-4 record.
1t was a case of a poor first half
that spelled doom for the Porters.
Columbian raced away to a 24-15
first quarter lead and outdiStanced
the locals 1912 in the second frame
to give them a comfortable 1927
halftime bulge.
The Porters refused to give up
and came out in the 3rd quarter
and blasted Tiffin 21-16 to keep
them within fighting distance of
the Tornadoes. 3rd Quarter score
was Tiffin 55 Port Clinton 48. The

Redskins couldn't stay with them
in the final frame and went down
for the count 1915 to wind up
their season.
The Tornadoes were red hot
from the free throw line as they
Scorched the nets with 26 for 80
and 81 percent.
Little John Blume played the
giant killer role for Columbian.
The 5'8' Blume, who hadn't looked
too impressive in the other tourney
games, took top scoring honors
with 5 fielders and II fouls.
Big Russell Work, Tiffin's fine
6'5" Junior center played great
ball and took runner up honors
with 20 as well as controlling the
rebounds for his squad.
Port Clinton, who certainly
weren't at their best, refused to
give up and kept plugging away.
At one time in the second half they
pulled within points of the win
nerS but a series of fouls nullified
their efforts.
Charlie Meeks, playing the best
game of his high school career,
led the Porter scoring with 6field
goals and 5 fouls for a total of IL.
Charles driving and accurate
Jump shooting kept the Redskins
in the ball game.
Big John Bergman followed
Meeks with Is markers and Nicky
Ball connected on fielderS and
fouls for Ia.
Sandusky Game
In earning a shot at the Sectional
tournament title Friday night, Port
Clinton combined a red hot first
half and a steady second half to
defeat the Sandusky Blue Streaks
62-52 before capacity crowd.
The Porters defense in the first
half held the Streaks to Is points
while the Redskins laid down a
scoring barrage which netted them
"a points. It was this big first half
which pulled them through because
Coach Jack Faeitas' squad began
puncturing the Porter defense in
the second half and outscored the
Redskins 1928.
Coach Bob Green had to 90 all
the way with his first five as the
aggressive Streaks crawled within
4 points of the Porters midway in
the final period.
The Porters managed to get a
few easy baskets off the Blue
Streaks full court press in the final
minutes to sew up the ball game.
The Blue Streaks had dropped
another thriller to Port Clinton

Hospital Plans
Now With State
For Final OK

Since the last article regarding
progress of hospital building, SUI
perintendent Florence Specht and
the Architect met with the Federal
Architect, DR.. Margaret Dubois, who
is the Director of Hospital Facili-
ties, Ohio State Department of
Health. AT that time several
changes in the plans were request
ed by the State and Federal au-
thorities. The Architect has COM
pleted these revisions and What is
hoped are the final plans, are in
the hands of the State authorities.
AS soon as final approval is
given, the Architect will start on
detailed plans which will take at
least two to three months to COM
plete. Once these are done, there
can b no changes made, so it is
most important that all concerned
are definitely satisfied with all de-
tails.
"The hospital administration and
the Board of Trustees are certainly
more anxious than anyone else to
get started on ground breaking.
When patients must be taken care
of in the hall as happens most of
the time we all realize we cannot
give the kind of care we want to
give. Everyone is doing the best
they can under present conditions.
said hospital officials.
