Geausa Near
Goal In
Bond Drive

With two weeks of the De-
fense Bond Drive formal ac-
counting period remaining,
Maurice A. Fox, Geauga County
Bond Chairman announced to-
day that the county is one of
"a counties over the 80 per cent
mark. County sales of Series E
Bonds from Sept. 3 through Oct.
IL, as reported by the Federal
Reserve Board, total $26, sos, or
98.5 per cent of the $4,000
quota.
The formal drive ends Satur-
day but the Federal Reserve
Bank, following the system used
during past drives, will include
sales for which reports are re-
ceived by the Bank at the close
of business Nov. 10. According
to the Savings Bonds Division,
this is to accommodate bond isSu-
ing agents whose office account
ing procedure prevents reports
being made except at the end
of established reporting periods.
Of the "a high counties, 13
were over their goals with Har-
rison leading at 1921 per cent.
Wyandot ranked second with
1900 per cent and Noble in
third with 1898. Others over
their quotas were: Williams,
Adams, Fulton, Highland, Shell
by, Champaign, Trumbull,
Allen, Guernsey and Auglaize.
Of the eight major metropoli-
tan counties, four were over the
80 per cent mark with Summit
leading at 96.9 per cent. In
second was Mahoning with 85.5;
in third Cuyahoga with 85.3 per
cent and Lucas was in fourth
among the eight major counties
with 80.2 per cent.

List Plans for
Schools at
West Geauga

West Geauga school district
will be voting on bond levy
to make possible the erection
of the building sketched on
page 13 of this paper.
Plans of the board of education
call for investing 100000 in
the construction, $4,000 in
land, and $4,000 in equipment
for the building. There is also
included in the bonds an
amount of $4,000 to repair the
present buildings.
Blueprints of the building
show the wing on the left
side to contain six classrooms,
and office space. The tall sec
ton on the right side is the
auditorium gymnasium with
permanent seating for 500. The
middle section is the library,
science and shop, and cafeteria.
Across the back is the home
economics section. This much
is included in the first stage
of construction at the 100000
mentioned. Future additions in
clude expansion of the home
economics, moving the shop tc
the rear and expanding it tc
the right. A music room t.
be added to the gym as {
small wing on the right front
More classrooms can be added
on the classroom wing on the
left front as needed.
The building would be o1
fireproof construction, with
brick and glass brick outside
walls. Inside walls would be
glazed brick on lower part
plaster on upper part. Ceilings
would be acoustic material
Floors in halls would be terraZ.
20 and in the rooms asphalt
tile. The thought in designing
a modern high school is to
surround the student with the
best possible conditions to
carry on the learning process
The outside of the building is
therefore determined by the in
ner construction.
The present board of educa-
ton, an appointed board from
the consolidation action of June
1850 has been reluctant to tie
a future board down to a def
mite site. Therefore the present
board has optioned two posi-
BILE sites midway between the
existing buildings, with the
idea that the new board can
select either or go to still a
different site if a more desir-
able one can be found. The
present board cannot buy land
before the bond issue is passed
since there are no funds avail
able until the passage of the
issue.
1t is important that you re.
ceive reliable information
about this bond levy. If there
are any unanswered question:
in which the members of the
board can assist please fee
free to call them.

State Praises
Republicans
for Display

Geauga Republicans were
honored this week with an art
icle in the state Republican
News on the Uncle Sam and
Americanism display the Repub-
licans featured at this years
Geauga Fair.
The article, with a picture
of the booth and Uncle Sam,
said:
"BURTON-One of the most
striking and mountaineering
exhibits at this years Geauga
County Fair was the 'Ameri-
canism' booth of the Geauga
Republican organization.
" Well located near the main
entrance to the Fairgrounds,
the large booth was colorfully
decorated in red, white and
blue with a spotlight playing on
a flag-draped, enlarged repro
duction of ''The Americans
Creed,
1.-THE remainder of the pro-
fessionally designed and decor
ated display commanded atten-
ton by it's effective simplicity,
a few powerful posters framed
in colored ribbon, simple floral
pieces, a few pottery elephants
some neatly arranged literature
and, in the foreground, ar
American flag on a staff.
I'm ADDITION to the color
attention was attracted to the
booth by playing records ot
the old, classic American songs
and marches.
''The high spot of the display
was "Uncle Sam" portrayed te
perfection by typically Ameri
can, six-foot-six-inch Harlanc
Potter of Burton, in full ane
authentic costume.
"Strong-faced and dignified
yet with a ready and infect
ious smile and a hearty hand
shake, Uncle Sam was the lido
of shiny-eyed youngsters ant
gave a thrill of pride and
Strengthening of the shoulder
to many a grown-up, too.
JAMES G. GARWICK
Chairman of the Geaug;
County Central and Executive
Committees, said: The idea wa
developed by the Executive
Committee from a suggestion
made by Secretary Jim Dins
4 more. The Committee wa
unanimous and enthusiast
about featuring Americanism a
the central theme, with tn
booth clearly but TASTEFUL,
identified as an activity o
Geauga Republicans. Under tn
excellent supervision of the pre-
clnct cOmmltteeWomen neade'
by Chairwoman Gladys Mac
Donald of Chardon, the boot
attracted a lot of visitors
Chairman Garwick added
From personal observation an
conversations with many of tn
visitors, I know that this dis
play did our Party a lot
good here, especially with tn
younger voters and with thos
not definitely aligned wit
either party. Our organizatio
is a live-wire group and ha
come up with many good idea
and activities, but I believ
this is one of the very bes
things we have done.'"

Aides Tel! Truman To Sign, then Blast Wage-prite Bill

President Truman's key stabiliza- ton aides reportedly have advised him to sign the new economic con- trols bill today-and also to blast it as inadequate to curb imitation,
 In Congress, the general expecta- ton was that MT Truman will ap- prove the bill by midnight, when the present law expires.
 The White House said only that the President was not expected to act on the measure until late in the day, probably in the evening.
 Some lawmakers termed the bill they sent to the White House yesterday a good one and said the President has no justification for complaint. Others criticized it and declared more legislation will be needed to check imitation.
 The United Labor Policy commit tee, representing most of organized ldDOI, UldoOCQ bLiO ihStobiS oS . "callous betrayal os the consumers and said it would back Mir. Truman if he vetoes it.
 The measure provIues for con- tinuing wage, price, rent, con- sumner credit and defense prOduc- ton controls through next June, but in some cases it eases curbs the President wanted frightened or unchanged. 1t lacks most of the additional anti-inflation powers the President requested.
 The House approved the bill yes terday by a roll call vote of 294 to 80 Senate passage was by voice vote last Friday The bill is a compromise version of separate measures approved earlier by the two branches.

|DurotIler's Bean
 Ball Heads Up Committee Talk

WASHINGTON, July 31 = R = Baseball's story of Leo Durocher and the bean ball today displaced monopoly in discussion before a House Judiciary committees hear ing on organized baseball.
 Rep. Celler D-NY). chairman of the Investigating group and a Brooklyn Dodger fan, injected the New York Giants managers name into the testimony
 He asked Ford Prick, National League president, about reports that Durocher had been guilty of telling his pitchers to use the bean ball against opponents.
 The bean ball - pitch around the batter's head is designed to make the batter worried and keep him from getting set to make his best swing at later pitch.
 Have you ever fined Durocher for that?" asked the chairman
 aYes, sir" replied Prick. But when Cellar wanted to know when, Prick shook off the question with, i've fined him so many times I can't remember exactly when it was for that"
 The discussion got into this track as Prick talked about basebalPs powers to discipline the players and clubs under tne reserve clause.

Delegates Ask Equal
 Shares for Alaska, Hawaii In School Lunch Funds

WASHINGTON, July 31, -lR- Delegates Harrington (R-HawaiD and Bartlett (D-Alaska) today urged the House Labor and Edu- cation committee to approve leg islation to put Hawaii and Alas ka on an equal footing with the 48 states in apportionment of | school lunch funds.
 Harrington offered figures show ling that the Territories share un- der the proposal would be increa- sed about ITO per cent. At present three per. cent of federal funds for low-cost school lunches goes to Hawaii and Alaska and to the. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In the year ended last June 30, Congress appropri- ated SS3,5O0,000 for the lunches. Of this, Harrington said, Alaska received S10,551, Hawaii s73,320, the Virgin Islands S43,639 and Puerto Rico s2,377,49O. Under tne proposal under study, he said AL aska would have obtained S28, ,134, Hawaii $195,516, the Virgin Is- lands S45,151 and Puerto Rico $2,- 459,849.
 Hawaii and Alaska bear the same financial responsibilities as the states Harrington said. "Their people pay identically the same taxes as the people of the states. The total taxes normally paid the federal government by Hawaii ex- ceeds that of from 10 to 12 states. the people of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. do not pay taxes.
 We believe that for this reason if for no other we are entitled to participate in the laws providing federal grants in aid on the same basis as the states"
