But in the minds of all of us who live and learn in Port Clinton, we quickly acknowledge that any and all projects must have a leader. In D. D. Sims we had that leader. Port Clinton has always had faith and trust in Mr.

Sims. He returned such faith and trust by his spotless administration of school affairs. Never in all the 21 years he has so efficiently served Port Clinton, have voters rejected a school bond issue levy. That in the days of rising taxes, is indeed a tribute to the man whose vision was focused to the future all for the benefit of our children. Port Clinton has been made a better place in which to live because of Mr.

Sims. Yes. Port Clinton will miss Mr. Sims. We'll miss his knowledge and manner of passing it on to others.

We'll miss his administrative abilities. And we'll miss the pleasant smile and welcome hand which always were offered visitors to his office. But we hone we won't have the opportunity of missing him in our daily lives. For one and all earnestly hope that he'll see fit to continue to make Port Clinton his home. Our community will be the better such a decision.

20. READ and USE THE TIT Exhaustion of Benefits Being Studied in Ohio Exhaustion of benefits is being watched carefully by the Ohio Bureau of Unemployment Compensation as a reliable index to the extent and degree of seriousness of unemployment in Ohio, James R. Tichenor, Administrator of the Ohio Bureau of Unemployment Compensation, said Thursday. Under Ohio law, a worker may receive his benefit check up to 26 weeks of total unemployment in his benefit year. The total amount, however, cannot exceed one-half the wages received in the base period.

About 20 per cent of all claimants are allowed less than the maximum of 26 weeks of benefits by statutory limitations, bringing the point of exhaustion that much closer in periods of jo. scarcity, Tichenor said. Figures released show that 750 unemployed Ohioans exhausted their benefits during January, an Increase of 79 per cent over January, 1957. After an individual exhausts his benefits, he cannot 11 other application until worker has finished out his benefit year (52 consecutive weeks), and (2) has had sufficient work in covered employment to give him the required minimum of 20 weeks, Tichenor explained. Bureau records disclose, however, that the average claimant falls far short of exhausting his benefit rights, even in periods of economic recession in 1949, for instance, the average claimant drew benefits for 12.2 weeks.

This was far short of the maximum of 26 weeks provided by law. In 1954, another recession year, the average was 10.7 week. In the preceding three "fat" years when employment was at a high level, the average duration of benefits was 8.3 weeks, 7.2 weeks, and 5.7 weeks. "It is significant," Tichenor said, "That a large part of those who file initial claims immediately after lay-off do not come back to report the second week. Presumably, a great many find jobs before the week is out.

Others file their first claim simply to establish a benefit year and report only once there- Musoum Was A Very Busy Spot Mae Hesselbart, curator at the Ottawa County Historical Museum, in her annual report this week, stated that a total of 1,214 people had visited the museum in city hall in 1957. Seventeen states and one foreign country were represented in the visitors, she said. A total of 19 loans were received and 9: contributions made to the museum in 1957. after to record their waiting week. If they are then called back to work, and are subsequently, laid off, they may open their claims without serving another waiting week in the same benefit year." Bureau figures disclose that in 1953, when jobs were plentiful, 34.6 per cent of all those who filed first claims ended their benefit years without claiming or receiving their first benefit checks.

COUNCIL UNITED STATES CAN BE A BIG HELP TO PROBLEMS CONCERNING RICE HARVEST By TOM IRELAND press catering to Reds. Herald World Scribe BANGKOK, Thailand--Thai- 1- land has a rice problem and the United States can help. Since 1953. the economy of that country has been severely strained by the lack of markets for its rice crop. Nationalist China was Thailand's best st customer for rice, but Thailand refuses to trade with Red China.

Then Thailand is in competition with the United States and Burma. Prices of rice are inclined to rise too high. Furthermore, there is a growing use in Southeast Asia of cheaper cereals like wheat. Thailand is trying to improve the quality of its rice and to lower prices. The United States would do well to see that its own surpluses of rice and wheat are not exported to Thailand's very limited markets.

American firms operating in Thailand are largely engaged in exporting and in importing, not bringing much permanent industrial business. Thailand wiuld be glad to have American geologists of the large oil companies come in for a thorough exploration of the preciate some United States possibilities. Thailand would know as to developing its tin and rubber resources. Prime. Minister Pibul Songgram is doing much for his country.

He pursues the opium racket, build schools, highways and hospitals, and encourages western modes of dress. He has accorded freedom of the people and press to criticize him and the rest of the government. This freedom of the press gave the Reds an opening to accuse the United States of ruining Thailand's rice market by selling its own surpluses there, and to blame the United States for depressed living standards by forbidding trade with Red China. Pibul Songgram had to clamp back restriction on a wild This reporter believes that there is far too much apathy to the danger of Communism in Bangkok. Bangkok has packs of unclaimed mangy dogs.

Since it is against the Buddhist religion for a dog catcher or anyone else to destroy them, they rove in large packs and howl under the windows all night. There is a serious problem of rabies. This reporter visited the dog and snake farm where serum is extracted for the treatment of bites. Its head, Dr. Chaloem, is the Ditmars of Siam.

One of his assistants showed his prowess by removing the semi-spherical cover of some dozen banded Kraits grabbing the sleeping reptiles in his arms and throwing them in the water. A bite from any one of these black and orange striped creatures would have affected both his nervous and circulatory systems. The farm also has Najas or king cobras and ordinary cobras whose bite involves the nervous system and by vipers whose bite involves the circhlatary system. Poisonous snakes in Thailand emerge for food at dusk and return at down. Farmers 1 plowing with wooden implements and in their bare feet, often encounter the reptiles on going out at dawn when the snakes are on their way to rest, or the farmer steps on them at dusk when farmers are coming home and the snakes are moving out.

As to whether the king cobra or tiger killing python is the real king of beasts, Dr. Chaloem says that the king cobra would kill a python instantly. In the United States, the constricting blue racer kills the poisonous rattlesnake. In Thailand a swell as India, mongoose is the enemy of the ordinary cobra and of the Naja at least until he grows to size. FARM AND HOME WEEK AT OHIO STATE IS MAR.

He was fined $200 and costs, sentenced to three days in jail and his driver's license suspended for one year. D.

D. SIMS (Continued from Page One) successor that his decision to retire be made at this time. A native of Groveport, Ohio, Mr. Sims came to Port Clinton in 1937 succeeding H. L.

Ford who had just accepted the superintendency, of the Fostoria Mr. Sims did his first teaching during the 1911-12 school year th a one school near, his home. The following year he entered. Ohio State, and after graduating served a short time in the Army in World War I. In 1919, he became principal, coach and teacher in the Groveport Exempted Village Schools, and in 1922 he became superintendent of the Consolidated Groveport -Madison Township District where he served until coming to Port Clinton.

In his announcement to the teachers, Mr. Sims said that he enjoyed his work in Port Clinton and that it was a privilege to work in a community that is interested in its schools and provides the facilities necessary to a well-rounded education for its children. During his 21 years as superintendent, the voters of Port Clinton never rejected a school bond issue or levy, he said. When Mr. Sims came to Port Clinton, the staff consisted of 34 members; a principal and a superintendent, and the enrollment totaled 410 in the high school and 569 in elementary grades.

Today there are faculty members, a high school of more than 650 and an elementary enrollment including kindergarten of 1,145. Seven of the 32 teachers who were on the staff during the 1937-38 school year still remain in the system. They are Alma Casperson, Gaynelle Livingway and Leonarda Stein in the elementary grades, and Thalia Brown, Octa Kincade, G. A. Shively and Richard Stucky in the high school.

During Mr. Sim's administration, many improvements have been made in Port Clinton's educational system. The stadium at True Lay Athletic Field was built in 1940 and kindergarten was established during the 1941- 42 school year. Two of northern Ohio's finest elementary buildings, Jefferson and Bataan Memorial, were completed in 1951 and 1957 respectively, and an addition to the high school housing the music and shop departments has just been put into use. His superintendency also saw the transition of the Port Clinton schools from exemp1 ted village to city status.

In closing his remarks to the teachers, Mr. Sims said: "The present school year is two thirds gone. The last third will pass all too quickly. I have thoroughly enjoyed' knowing you, associating with you and working with you. I will long cherish the memory of these 21 years.

They have been happy ones. The many school problems we have faced together have all been made easier because of your cooperation, your loyalty, your support and your friendship." "THUMBS DOWN" PUT TO NEW EQUIPMENT With some members opposing outright, and others declaring "it would be council Tuesday night failed to take action of a recent proposal by Mayor George Tewers, that new chairs be installed in council chambers. The proposal as outlined by the mayor, would cost several hundred dollars. The "no action" in effect, means that council probably will continue to use the present equipment. Council ordered that a further study on cost estimates be made regarding a suggestion that guard rails be constructed on the north side of Perry street, the full width of City Park beach.

Recommendation was made that Madison street between Fifth and Sixth be widened as the first project of the year. It also was suggested that Madison street be resurfaced between Third and Sixth. The city will bear the cost of the improvements. Paul Cochran appeared before council asking that the boulevard in front of his home at 1301 East Second street be filled and leveled in order to do away with a mud hole. The matter was referred to committee.

A proposal that the city solicitor draw up a resolution asking that the portion of Bay township, now within the corporation limits be transferred to Portage township, died because of a lack of second to the motion. A traffic hazard at Harrison and Fremont road was discussed and a sign reading "Yield Rightof Way" will be installed on the west side of Harrison, as it approaches Fremont Road.
