A
group of fishermen from Mi I ford Center didn't have too much
time to try their luck at fishing in Lake Erie aboard Captain Ray
George's Alma Sunday, but the boat itself proved a good fisherman
when it snared an 18-inch lamprey eel. The eel somehow became
stuck in the boat's water pump, forcing the fishermen to cut short
their planned trip.
Two Toledoans suffered injuries
Friday night in a traffic accident
at the intersection of State Routes
120 and 795, 10 miles east of To
ledo.
Daniel Robinson, 30, suffered a
fractured collar bone and his pas
senger, James. Casebolt, 34, also
of Toledo, received a back in
jury. They were admitted to Riv
erside Hospital in Toledo.
State Highway Patrolman George
Babka said Robinson's car collided
with one being driven by Donald
Smith, 27, Millbury. Robinson was
cited on a charge of failure to
yield right-of-way.

I derful to me at Bill's Restaurant,
giving me food last night, letting
me sleep in a warm place, and
giving me breakfast this morning",
she reported.
Wednesday, the Peace Pilgrim
planned to walk through Sandusky
and on to Lorain. "A 32^mile walk
will be easy for me today," she
added. "Evidently people think
'walking' means 'hitch hiking' as
each day I refuse several offers
to ride," the message carrier ex
plained.
"It was thrilling to walk along
beautiful Lake Erie this morning,"
the attractive woman told the ed
itor. She is now wearing her fifth
pair of shoes since leaving Pasa
dena, as they average about 1000
miles before wearing out.
From Port Clinton she will con
tinue through Sandusky, Lorain,
Cleveland, Akron, Pittvburg and
on to Washington, D. C. where she
will present the following peti
tion to President Eisenhower:
"Peace pilgrim's Plea for a
Peace Departments—This is the way
to peace—overcome evil with good,
and falsehood with truth, and
hatred with love. We plead for
the establishment of a Peace De
partment, with a Secretary of
Peace who accepts these principles
—all conflict situations at homo
or abroad to be re££ered to this
Peace Department."
She has planed her walking to
reach Washington in November
and then she will walk to New
York City where she will present
this petition to the United Nations
and world leaders::
"IE you would find the way to
peace, you must overcome evil
with good, and falsehood with
truth, and hatred with love. We
plead with you to free us from
the crushing burden of armaments
and to free us from hatred and
fear. So that we may feed our
hungry ones, mend our broken
cities, and experience a richness
of life which can only come in a
world that is unarmed and fed."
Before coming here, the Peace
Pilgrim spent five days in Toledo
where she talked in seven churches
Sunday, appeared on a television
program, and made a 15-minute
recording for broadcast to all
school children in the city.
She also talked to sixth grade
students in Logap. School, East
Toledo, and was thrilled with the
impression and attention" these
young students displayed.

to him.
Mr. Martin was awarded $109.90
for his adopted suggestion concern
ing the use of a recoil jack on the
recoil mechanism of the 90 milli
meter antiaircraft gun. It has
proved of value in the proof accep
tance testing of weapons and the
estimated savings for the first year
of its use is $2,018.13i
A savings of $1,052 is expected
to result from the first year's use
of Mr. Whitacre's suggestion for
a
gauge for the front axle lock
cn the 40 millimeter antiaircraft
gum He received $52.60 for this
idea. .»«
Mr. Lacer received an award of
$18.50 for his suggestion for a
device to handle M6 recoil bottom
cylinders, which not only has saved
handling time but has helped to
prevent the cylinder from being
damaged. Savings for the first year
of use are estimated at $370.
The safety suggestion of Mr.
Hahn concerning the installation
of guard railings on certain hazar
dous stairways, which was fol
lowed out by the Safety Office,
earned for him a safety award of
$15.
Present for the award ceremony
were immediate supervisors of the
suggestion winners. These men
are credited with having encour
aged the efficiency awards pro
gram as a whole, and with always
lending a helping hand to individ
