THE PORT HURON TIMES HERALD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14. 1948 PAGE TWO CONTINUE pi From Page One LJ iFEiir 2 Fire Inspection Project Underway In Business Area An inspection of Port Huron stores and office buildings for fire hazards was underway here today. The project was to include a rally at noon in Hotel Harrington at which Harry K. Rogers, nationally-known instructor in firemen's training schools, was to address the Lions club, City officials and interested citizens. As part of a Statewide effort to locate future sources of fires, the Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the inspection by investigators of the Michigan State Fire Prevention association.

School children were to check possible danger spots in their parents' homes on "self inspection" lists. Inspectors, accompanied by local Firemen and Boy Scouts, were to submit reports of their findings to organizations inspected. Junior Chamber spokesmen said reports will not be turned over to insurance rating officers or to the State.

Using three-way radio to unify the search, officers circled the area bounded by Michigan, Dove, Range and Ravenswood roads. SIGHTED WITH DOG Cars closed tightly into this area about 9:30 p. m.

wnen was reported Morton was seen near Range roaa with a black and white dog. Shortly after this report, Morton came back to the house, broke into the basement, and hid there. Deputy Sheriff Joseph L. Sopha, who had been left at the house in case Morton returned, heard the window crash and notified Sheriff Lucas and Undersheriff A. J.

Fos ter by flicking the porch light on and off. They cornered Morton in the fruit cellar in the basement and after a struggle, in which Deputy Sopha was bitten on the ankle by Morton, the youth was captured about 10 p.m. and taken to St. Clair County Jail. PRAISES OFFICERS Sheriff Lucas today praised the help of the law enforcement officials who aided in the search and kept the youth from leaving the blockaded area.

He also paid tribute to the three-way radio hookup that enabled the search to be conducted so efficiently. When captured, Morton had the rifle and 8-inch hunting knife. Sheriff Lucas said he will ask a psychiatric examination for Morton and probable committment to Ionia. ESCAPED IN SEPTEMBER Sheriff Lucas said Morton escaped in September from Lapeer and that Deputies had gone several times a week since to the Morton home to try and find him. He said Mrs.

Morton admitted harboring her son. Lucas also said that since Mor ton's escape from Lapeer, officials there marked Morton as discharged and did not so inform the Sheriff Department. Mrs. Morton said in the Hospital that Douglas had become violent several times and seemed "to go insane." BACKWARD YOUTH She said he had a mastoid opera tion when he was about five years old and his head had swelled up. Since then, she said he had been somewhat backward and had to leave" school.

She said she had him committed to Lapeer but when he escaped and came home, she shielded him. She admitted hiding him and teaching him how to drive an automobile. BULLIED MOTHER, DAUGHTER Mrs. Morton said he bullied both she and her daughter all the time and "just had to have his way." She said he had only returned home a week from visiting relatives in Detroit. The youth's father is an employe of the Ford Motor company in De troit.

There was no one else home at the time of the attack except the two women. Mrs. Morton said Douglas came home Tuesday night after working as a mason for a local contractor and started the argument. She told the same story as Miss Lieutenant Governor Of Kiwanis Speaks Donald Goodrow, Grosse Pointe, Lieutenant Governor of the seventh division, Michigan Kiwanis, spoke at a meeting of the Port Huron Kiwanis club Tuesday. Mr.

Goodrow discussed the Kiwanis program of "It's Fun To Live In America," a presentation of the worth while things in this country compared to such advantages as are offered by other countries under different systems of government. Mr. Goodrow addressed the club on his official visit to Port Huron. Crowded Margate, April 14 AP James Younger, 30, informed a rent tribunal that his family is sleeping five in a bed a double bed.

Colombia.

April 14 UP The ninth Jnter-American con ference, interrupted six days ago by a revolution, was scheduled to resume formal sessions at 10 a.m. today in the gymnasium of a secretarial school three miles from the downtown conference headquar ters. Dr. Eduardo Zuleta Angel, new Colombian Foreign Minister, will convene the conference steering committee, composed of chief delegates, to consider future procedure and the principal points of a western hemisphere pact. The pact was scheduled to be worked out at this conference to implement last year's Rio conference decision to set up a western hemisphere defense organiation.

The decision to continue the con ference in Bogota despite weekend rioting that cost some 800 lives was approved formally Tuesday by all top delegates meeting during the afternoon at the Honduran Em bassy. Meetings will be held in the school gymnasium until conference headquarters in the Capitol, wrecked by a raging mob last Friday afternoon, are restored. Hundreds of workmen were as signed to repair the building. Government officials promised to have it ready for renewed conference sessions by Thursday. It is expected the conference will be brought to a swift close before the end of the week.

All conference employes and per sonnel were called back to work and were assured that army guards now will honor conference creden tials for admittance to the build ing. The decision to continue the con ference here was based on a special report of Ambassadors who said the situation in Bogota was favor able for renewed meetings. The Colombian Army made great strides toward restoring order when 600 rebellious policemen of the 7th police division surrendered Tuesday after holding out for four days in the San Diego district of north ern Bogota. CO Froi I From Page One LJ Board of Education non-resident seventh eliminated graders "to assure every child in residence the fullest opportunity to attend school full time." Although County educators be lieve Port Huron's action justified, they fear that continued overcrowding may cut down school hours in some rural areas. "We may have to put some grades in the State Road school on a half-day schedule." Mrs.

Morrison said. "We hope not all of them." Schools affected by the ban are Clyde-Kimball with 10 seventh graders in September, State Road 7. Hoover and Roosevelt School In District 7 with 29. and Keewahdin School with 13. These students customarily would pay $65 tuition to attend Port Huron schools.

The State furnishes $50 and the school district or parents the remainder. School officials here say education costs greatly exceed the tuition. Rural school construction is not expected to fully ease the situation, Mrs. Morrison said. Buildings are being considered at Keewahdin.

Sparlingville and Smiths Creek. Parents had a warning in late March when all City schools in the County insisted they cannot accommodate more pupils from rural schools. The situation is expected to reach a head when the present bumper crop of kindergarten pupils reaches high school age. With all City schools expecting increased enrollment next fall, ability of rural schools to accommodate new students remains problematical, Mrs. Morrison said.

Escaping Prisoner Turns Back To Aid Partner Jacksonville. April 14 AP A prisoner wearing chains swam ashore from Fort George Island and then turned back to try to save another who couldn't make it Capt C. M. Ross, assistant superintendent of the County Prison Farm said James E. Wilson and Alfred Ray Markham broke away from a road gang on the island Tuesday, jumped into the water and headed for the mainland.

Wilson made the shore, but when Markham foundered in mid-stream Wilson abandoned flight and helped in attempted rescue operations, Ross said. It was all An vain, however. Markham- drowned.

Invitations were accepted for Zonta inter-city dinners in Pontiae thib month, and Flint in May, by the group.

She will also initiate new members recently taken into the club. Metropolitan Opera Is A Sellout At Los Angeles Return Los Angeles, April 14 AP After a 43-year absence, the Metropolitan Opera company of New York came back to Los Angeles Tuesday night for an enthusiastic but un-Holly wood -like opening.

A sellout crowd of more than 6,000 packed the cavernous Shrine auditorium to hear a rousing performance of "Carmen" with Rise Stevens in the lead. The event brought out more top hats and tiaras than have been seen here in years. The premiere was remarkably restrained for these parts. Searchlights, grandstands and other trapping of film events were missing. No hi jinks marked the premiere.

There was no head standing in the lobby. There were dowagers aplenty but none put her leg on the table. Although most of the orchestra section was populated by society, the film colony was in evidence. The Met gave up coming to Los Angeles after an unprofitable visit in 1905. It need have no fears in the future.

The current two-week engagement is already in the black, and several performances are sold out. The Met next moves its double trainload of culture to Denver. CONTACT LENSES Dr. Francois 33oo- OPTOMETRIST Yale 5 ORTHOPTIST Chiropractor DR. R.

ASK $3,000 DONATION Mr. Clyne asked for ruling No. 1 after Wilbur V. Hamm and Mrs.

Grace Fisher, of Charles Schoor post No. 796, VFW, and its auxiliary, asked the board to vote $3,000 to help defray costs of the 1948 VFW convention here. They said the convention will bring some 7,000 veterans to the Port Huron area. The Board appropriated $1,800 to the group under similar conditions in 1942, Mrs. Fisher said.

The School survey question arose after the Wadhams Parent-Teacher association requested a County-wide survey of school needs. Mr. Clyne said he asked for a ruling on the constitutionality of the School Law in a 1947 Board session but has not received it. DISCUSSES SURVEY Mr. Farr explained that the school survey would provide the County Board of Education with statistics on which to base advice to school districts which ask lor it.

Such a survey would tabulate the number of students dependent on a particular high school, for example, and would point out how schools can widen their tax base, he said. Mr. Clyne countered that a school survey is of no value unless it extends beyond the County line. Both Capac and Yale, he pointed out, are located near the County line where their natural areas would extend into the next counties. SANITARY CODE Supervisor Arthur W.

Ditty, Kimball Township, introduced a County sanitary code. It was tabled and made a special order of business Thursday morning.

When his sons returned from the Army they and Mrs. Creighton W. Holden purchased the remaining half of the Inn from stockholders outside the family. Famed throughout the country for its hospitality and service, the St. Clair Inn reflected Mr.

Holden's personal ideas on how a good hotel should be operated. It has the air of a friendly, comfortable lodge more than a "commercial hotel. That is the atmosphere Mr. Holden always strived to maintain and which brought fame to the Inn. Mr.
