Muddy Creek couldn't you just
scalp the man who tackled that ugly
name onto anything so beautiful
A gorgeous lodge overlooking the
gorge, in its Just under roof
stage, will Guido anything on sky
line. That lodge made me down
right envious. Mercy, how we could
use one of those on the lake One
built and operated by the state.
That's all there was to envy.
Then, like an insecure mother who
begins to think that her little crow
is the blacklist, l began thinking
about the assets Swallow Falls
park has that no other place has.
Unspoilcd beauty! The only
souvenir is a vivid memory No
monkeys on chains nor cheap
plaques: no salt and pepper shakers
or whirlagigs Just Little Tolliver
and virgin pine; waXy rhOdoden-
dron and blooming water honey
suckle. whose branches dip in the
brook just before the water tumbles
over the falls.
Big beauty and little beauty.

greater Each falls has wondrous
beauty No one can say when you've
seen one, you've seen them all.
Each visit is a new visit. Like this

Government and Shipbuilding
Last week the Congress enacted
into law requirement that the
Secretary of Commerce with the
cooperation of the Secretary of the
Navy must periodically survey the
shipbuilding capacity of the Ma
ton This mandatory review is in
tended to place in clear perspective,
the ability of existing shipyards, in
Guiding Navy yards, to meet the
vital needs of national defense and
the urgent necessities of any ma
tional emergency.
, Though the emphasis here is on
''inadequacies," it is presumed that
the Secretary of Commerce and
the Secretary of the Navy will give
great weight to the recommends
tions of the Hoover Commission
as to the effect on the industry of
the construction and repair of
naval vessels in Government ship
yards" These recommendations OBJ
viously stem from the fact that the
Department of Defense owns 48
shipyards, of which 10 are operated
by the Navy, 80 are leased to pri-
waite operators. and 6 are inactive.

By EARL BEUcLER

Last weeks theory on the wealth

true. for all the local tracks were
rained out.
And from Salem Indiana came
the very sad news that Bob Swell

mile classic at Indianapolis, and
one of the money winners in 1856
was killed last Sunday after an ac-
cident on the dirt track.
Last Friday at Tiffin Raceway
some of the drivers and pit crew
were very unsportsmanlike in their
actions, but at this time the Off
cials of Tiffin said mo comment
Races will be run this Friday night
at Tiffin, Saturday night at Ere
mont and Sunday night at the fast
asphalt track in Sandusky.
Rumors have it that Findlay's

resolution which blasts the
United States Supreme Court as
Ia judicial dictatorship !.
which has become a lawmaking
body"

ton, which met only token oppo-

departments convention here
yesterday. accuses the high court
of political motivation" and in
a number of instances Of chang
ing 1.-THE Constitution without
consent Of the people through

Most of the verbal fire was not
aimed directly at the high courts

rather at its ruling in the case

Of School Bonds

A second suit challenging the
validity of a SGT million school

the county Circuit Court.
Attorney william M. Burdette,
jr.. and John D. 2. Rathbone,
former chairman of the Airing
ton chapter, Defenders of State
Sovereignty and Individual Lib
critics, filed the complaint as
county taxpayers yesterday.
Like a suit filed earlier, the
latest action contends that pub
lie money was spent illegally by
the School Board to publish a
pamphlet designed to win sup
port of the bond referendum at
the polls. The first suit was
thrown out by Circuit Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy but has been
appealed.
Mr.. Burdette said the first suit
was brought under a statute that
calls on the School Board to
give an accounting of the money
spent on the brochure. The Sec
ond suit, he said, strikes more
directly at the basic issue OF
whether the bond referendum
was valid,
