Harrison Monnnrenf At Fulton Amf
Perry Is Rich In Historical Lore
Of Famous Battles In War Of 1812
On September 10, 1913 a great celebration took place in
Port Clinton. It was the dedication of Harrison's monument
at the foot of Fulton Street. That date .marked the 100th
Anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie.,
In the summer of 1813, Gen. William H. Harrison was
camped- on the Sandusky Bay Peninsula ready to attack
Detroit and invade Canada. But, he
could not cross the Lake with his
Army as long as the British fleet
was in command of Lake Erie. On
Sept: 10, 1813 the small American
fleet commanded by Commodore
Oliver Perry sailed out of its base
at Put-in-Bay and engaged the
British fleet a short distance nodth
west of that island. Gen. Harrison
had a number of his best sharp
shooters to assist Com. Perry. They
had taken positions in the riggings
oI the ships and their accurate
rifle fire picked off a number of
officers on the British men-of-war
at a critical time of the battle,
causing a confusion in the British
command. After the American fleet
had defeated the British, Commo
dore Jerry's men naturally wantt'd
to go in for the kill. But, Com.
Perry said "Boys, the men on yon
der-ships have mothers, wives, sis
ters and sweethearts waiting for
them to return, the same as you ships of Com. Perry, from the spot
have. Put them in the Bay". The
Bay on the Island that was then
known as South Bass Island. From
those words the Island got its
present name "Put-in-Bay". The
ships were beached in the shallow
water of the Bay, making it pos
sible for the British sailors to wade
ashore.
Com. Perry them sent his famous
message to Gen. Harrison "We
have met the enemy, and they are
ours. Two ships, two brigs, one
schooner and one sloop". This mes
sage was received first by Gen.
Cass, of Gen. Harrison's staff, who
was Governor of the Michigan terri
tory, on a spot between Fulton St.
and Lincoln Drive. It later became
the True farm, and in 1906 was
plotted out and now forms the east
part of Port Clinton.
After receiving the message Gen.
Harrison's army embarked in the

A Marklehead man charged with
falsely obtaining unemployment
checks was cited to Municipal
Court on charges made by the state
headquarters of the Unemployment
Bureau.
Edmund Monak* was fined $200
and costs by Municipal Judge Don
Wargowsky, with $100 suspended
on condition restitution of $90 be
made immediately to the State. He
was charged with accepting unem
ployment checks during a period in
which he was employed.
where his monument now stands.
They landed on the Canadian shore
near Maiden, Ontario.
Maiden was the headquarters of
Gen. Henry Procter, Commander
of the British army, but he with
drew north without a fight. Gen.
Harrison then crossed the Detroit
river and took Detroit on Septem
ber 25, 1813. Soon after that he
received reinforcements in the
form of a regiment of cavalry from
Kentucky, under the command of
Col. Richard M. Johnson. On Oc
tober 5th, Gen. Procter, having
ibeen reinforced by a large band of
Indians, under the leadership of
Chief Tecumseh made a stand on
the river Thames, near the town of
Chatham.
Gen. Harrison's meh, led by 6ol.
Johnson's Kentuckian's charged,
shouting "Remember the River
Raisin", referring to the bloody
massacre at the river Raisin (near
the town of Monroe, Michigan that
was then called Frenchtown) of so
many American soldiers by the
Indian allies of the British,
Chief Tecumseh was killed in
that battle and the Indians fled.
Gen. Harrison's men drove on until
the total defeat of the enemy. Gen.
Procter had the bugles blow re
treat. October 5th therefore, is the
anniversary of a great American
victory.
That battle ended the war of
1812. In December 1814, the Treaty
of Ghent was signed. Ohio and
Michigan have since that date been
undisputed American territory.

Coast Guard Warns
Water borne Hotrods
Reckless or negligent operation
of a motorboat is punishable by
fines as high as $2,000 or by im
prisonment for as long as one
year, or by both fine and im
prisonment, Rear Admiral F. A.
Leamy, Commander of the Ninth
Coast Guard District stressed to
day.
"Waterborne hotrods" are fast
becoming a major problem along
with their landlubber colleague,
the "crazy driver", emphasized
Admiral Leamy.
Reckless or negligent operation
of vessels is not limited to opera
tion at excessive speeds, but may
include overloading small boats,
creating a wave capable of caus
ing damage, operating in area fre
quented by swimmers, pulling a
water skier through an area in
which other boats are operating,
or where there are swimmers, or
operating in such a manner as to
cause a collision.

OU'VE
probably heard us say a lot, recently?
the 1956 Buick's new Variable Pitch
Dynaflow.*
And maybe you've wondered just what that
"new" means.
Well, it means a brand-new principle in trans
mission design. A new way to make whirling
oil add to its own velocity and produce fast
torque build-up at only part throttle.,
What does it do for you?
It gives you a quick new getaway response
right in the first inch of pedal travel right
where you do most of your normal driving—
and right where you get better gas mileage
every inch of the way.
It gives you more safety-surge breakaway
when you floor the pedal and switch the pitch
—more electrifying full-power acceleration to
pull out of a tight spot.
And it gives you all this with absolute smooth
ness—
because no gears ever shift in Dynaflow.
