Heavy showers in Lorain County slow harvests with Columbia Station farmers reporting near eight inches of rain in seven days.

Senator pledges ban support at county Democratic picnic
Senator Stephen M. Young addressed the Lorain County Democratic Club picnic pledging limited nuclear test ban support though not full backing. He described the treaty as plain language and urged continued underground testing within the agreement.
