This is true of even the greatest ports. New York is a great port because of the commerce that flows to it from the entire U.S. and that flows from Europe and Africa througH New York to the rest of the country. New York City does not produce enough itself to keep its port busy. If it depended only on products manufactured in New York City and exported and imports to be used only in New York City the port of New York would wither and die. • • • This is the concept of Ed Kee- natt, the new consultant to the Ogdensburg Port Authority. He realizes that this port can only be developed if St. Lawrence County and the St. Lawrence Valley develop. This port can only amount to something if there are commodities from St. Lawrence County to be shipped through Ogdensburg and vice versa. For one thing Ed has in mind the development of a froz- en poultry business in Northern New York. Poultry is very ex- pensive in Europe because the cost of feed is very high. Feed it much cheaper in the U.S. This area is ideal for the growing of poultry. Some 25 years ago St. Lawrence County led the State of New York in the production of chickens and turkeys. Poultry can be grown in St. Lawrence County killed and refrigerated here and delivered in Europe on a returning Seaway ship cheaper that it can be grown, dressed and marketed in Europe. If the poultry business in St. Lawrnce ' County can be revived it will mean a greatly increased de- mand for grain which can best be supplied from the Rutland el- evator here. That means employ- ment and business here which does not exist now. The poultry would be refrigerated and load- ed at Ogdensburg and that would mean a new industry for the city. • • • Ed has asked the Maritime Commission to put some of its \mothbair fleet at Ogdensburg and Cape Vincent. These are Liberty and Victory ships of World War It whkh are put fat storage in quiet harbors and kept in readiness for call in case of another national emergency. Hundreds of these ships are in \mothballs\ In the Hudson across from PeeksMH where Ed Keenan lives. If say 10 of these ships were moved to Ogdensburg thy would be used to store surplus grain. Every year or so the ships are unloaded and pot into service or on short runs to test them out and keep them in operating con- dition. The grain they store would be transferred to the Rut- land elevator. This would mean new activity and employment at the elevator and in the harbor. These ships carry year round maintenance crews and their payroll would be new money for Ogdensburg and for Cape Vin- cent. DIAMONDS AT.

The big lake ships would bring coal and lime- stone here from the West and it would meet the Labrador ore coming up the St. Lawrence here. Waddington or Ogdensburg would be the first American port, the first place on U.S. soil where a steel mill can be built to utilize the.rich and low cost Laborador ore. All the raw materials could move by water. The government is strongly urging the decentrali- zation of vital industry in this age of missiles and atomic bombs. A steel plant on the St. Lawrence would be a move in this direction and would disperse the dangerous concentration of steel plants in a few locations where they are perfect targets. * • • All these ideas are . crazy? They may seem crazy to those of us who have looked at the empty Ogdensburg harbor and decaying sheds and docks for 50 years. But this is a new and dy- namic time. The Seaway is here. It will take men of imagination and enthusiasm to capitalize on it. Ed Keenan is no dreamy amateur. He is a shipping and water transportation expert He sees possibilities in the port of Ogdensbuprg. Let's not laugh him off and lapse back in the sleepy rut of the past 10 years. If Ed tries SO ideas and only two \click\ Ogdensburg will be a lot further ahead than it is to- day. The future will not belong to \these cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor de- feat.\ SCHOOL AUCTION SALS The ParishvOle • Hopkinton Central School junior class will hold an auction Saturday, May 16, at the school.

Safety Is an Attitude, Lovejoy Declares at Ninth Annual Awards Diner Safety is an attitude; there- fore in order to avoid accidents. It is necessary to have the right attitude. That was the advice of Philip Lovejoy, chief speaker at the ninth annual awards dinner of the Associated Industries of New York state and Massena Cham- ber of Commerce. Mr. Lovejoy declared that man has four desires: 1. He wants security in his job? 2, new experiences, which includes vacations to break the monotony of the work; 3, a response; 4, recognition. A certain amount of security Is good, but if carried too far it can have a bad effect. People serving time in Jail have perfect security. A bear in the zoo has security. Full security means no freedom, no liberty. A routine job can be boring, thus new experiences are need- ed to have the proper attitude. The man who makes a sug- gestion for better operation of the department or plant wants a response. He doesn't want to be rebuffed. Everybody wants to know \How am I doing?\ He wants recognition. I. is a good idea to tell a man how be is doing. \There's only 14 inches be- tween a pat on the back and a kick in the pants\ said Mr. Lovejoy. As safety is an attitude, then in order to have fewer accidents we must encourage the right attitudes in people in industry, the speaker said. Martin W. Oettershagen, dep- uty administrator of the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, served aa toast- master. Tho Rt. Rev. Msgr. Ar- thur M. Leary gave the invoca- tion and the Rev. Everett Ran- som pronounced the benediction. Albert J. Slavta, president of the Massena Chamber of Com- merce, welcomed the guests. David J.
