18-Year-Old Giri Conquers Lake Erie Completes Gruelling Swim Ip 13 Hours CRYSTAL^BEACH, Ont. (INS) —Blonde, 18-year-old Greta Patterson who wants to swim "farther and farther,” was hailed today for becoming the first person to swim the 10 miles across Lake Erie from Angola, N. Y. The pretty 1 Batavia, N. Y., swimmer crawled onto Crystal beach last night after completing the grueljing span in choppy waters in 13 The 32 mile grind across Lake Ontario from Toronto to Youngstown, N.Y., is her next goal. Greta was cheered by thousands of Fourth of July holidayers as she emerged and fell into the arms of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. JJuy Patterson. A flotilla of nine boats accompanied her on the historic swim. Two Buffalo, N.Y., youths who started the cross lake attempt with her. gave up within a few hours. The superbly conditioned swhqmer plunged into the cold Lake Erie waters at 6:30 a. m. and began stroking towards the opposite shore at a rate of 18 strokes a minute. She stopped occasionally for nourishment. When about four miles from the Canadian side, Greta faced whitecaps kicked up by a stiff breeze. She switched to a sidestroke for a while, then resumed her powerjtni to the finish at "7:39 p. m. If you have something to-sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.

J Find Giri Unharmed Near Site Os Camp First Feared Taken From Camp By Bear LIBBY, Mont (INS) — Two year-old Ida May Curtis, at first feared carried away by a grizzly bear from a Montana logging camp was found unharmed about 40C yards from the camp. Aside from being soaked to the skin, from a heavy, all night rain, she appeared to be none the worse from the 21-hour ordeal in the dense forest wilds surrounding the camp. She was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital in Libby for observation and treatment for exposure. Her condition was described as good. Apparently the story that she was carted off by a bear was the result of vivid imagination and over - simple logic on the part ol some campers. Bears do roam the woods in the remote section — which is in the Kootenai forest south of Libby — and in fact had stolen a sack ol flour and meat from under a tent fly at the camp late Saturday — the night before Ida disappeared. And Sunday, just before Ida’s disappearance, two more bears were spotted, one of them reportedly clutching something in its left front paw. So when Ida’s mother found the infant missing, she assumed it was her daughter the bear had in its paw. • V But Sheriff Ray Frost, who ted a searching party of some 250 men who hunted for the girl throughout the night Sunday and Monday morning, said Ida apparently just wandered off by herself. He added, that a bear may have frightened her into fleeing but it could not have touched her because she was not even scratched. The girl was found lying on the ground beside Rapid Leigh Creek Monday. Craig's Plan For Port Under Fire Questions If Court Will Approve Plan INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Gov George N. Craig’s plan for obtaining a second of the four major building projects by tht 1955 general assembly was under polite fire today. . J I Over the week end, Craig an nounced plans for the private fi nancing of a s6(l million port on Lake Michigan near Gary, to be purchased later by the state board of harbors and terminals by bond issue. The governor released an opin ion by Harry T. Ice, Indianapolis attorney who represents bond buyers on bonding projects, that the plan was legal. Revenues from the port would be used to pay for the bonds. But state senator John W. Van Ness, Valparaiso Republican, to day questioned whether the Indiana supreme court would give a green light to the Craig plan. Van Ness had backed a plan to have the general assembly appropriate funds for building the port, deemed important because of Jhe St. Lawrence seaway. The state senator said the 1939 act creating the Indiana board ol harbors and terminals does not specifically authorize issuance o! bonds and does not outline any procedure for this. method of financing. One other project which the general assembly failed to act upon but which Gov. Craig has taken preliminary steps to achieve was an intermediate penal institution. Unexpended funds sufficient tc make a start on such an institution were announced some time ago by Craig. The two remaining projects, upon which no further action has developed as yet, were for a new state house and for a veterinary school at Purdue University.
