BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The law of sup
ply and demonstrating over from
government controls in many in
dustries-is causing sharp dis
putes between consumers and pro-
ducers.
ShutdownS Of high-cost lead and
zinc mineS-with attendant unem-
ployment--is feared in many min
ing areas. The reason: Sharp drop
in the price Of the metals, led by
weakness in the London futures
market.
And oil production capacity has
now outstripped current demand
to the point where many domestic
oil producers are clamoring again
against the increasing flow of for
cign oil to these shores.
Government proposals for fur
ther expansion Of facilities for GER
tain types OF steel making are
meeting with resistance from some
steel producers, who fear overex.
pansion in lines Improbable after
the defense program eases.

group, which has undoubtedly
worked hard to attain their end,
namely a kindergarten.
Whether or not kindergarten
is a good thing is not the issue
at this time. There are two
sides to that question, and
thank God, in America we can
still have two sides to ques-
tien! The real issue is whether
or not our board can afford
to support a kindergarten at
this time. FROM what 1 under
stand, the school budget is keep
ing it's head above water and
no more. Any money that the
board gives the Pre-Schoolers
right now must be taken from
funds which should be used for
the Elementary and High school
groups. 1t is as simple as that.
The PreSchoolers are of
course vitality, might say al
most fanatically, interested in
getting their kindergarten un-
derway. When anyone has
worked as hard as they have
it is understandable. But I
hope they can see farther than
the end of their industrious
noses. In other words, l hope
they have the foresight to re-
alize that their children will
be in kindergarten just one
year, and must move on to
twelve other grades, grades that
we all want to be strong, and
not impoverished from lack of
funds. We as parents and home
makers know the Importance
of budgetting our finances, and
keeping intact funds for impor-
tant and recurring bills, much
as we would like to splurge
once in a while. Probably we
have all gone through this, and
try to be patient and wait for
the day when we can not only
pay our essential bills without
worry, but afford some of the
luxuries of life. We must all
face the fact that kindergarten
in our present financial set-up
is a luxury. We can do, have
done, and perhaps must con-
tinue to do without it for a
while yet.
Just about a year ago, we
were all upset by the Hem
lock Point situation, which if
it had been allowed to 60
through, would have reduced
our tax income, and weakened
our whole school structure. We
all united in an effort to put
an end to this danger, and
were successful. Now again we
face the perils of not enough
money. The school board does
the best it can, but when we
try to stretch a dollar bill too
far, what happens it
buStS!
Most of us believe that West
Geauga in the very near future
will be able to maintain a kin
dergarten, and then l hope
everybody will be happy. In
the meantime, can't we all be
a little more understanding?
Even though there are two sides
to our problem, can't we meet
in the middle and discuss it
logically, and without
rancor. The secret of family
harmony is the old time prac-
tice of give and take, of being
kind to one another, and Oh,
you wise man who said, "Pa-
tience is a virtue" come on
back and speak your little
piece again!
G More than one family has
been wrecked by internal dis
cord. Don't let this happen to
West Geauga.

Editor of the Geauga Re-
publican Record
Dear sir,
About year ago new baby
was born in West Geauga,
called the Pre-School Group.
1t was a long and painful
birth, but when the infant
finally arrived, it had a loud
voice and lots of energy. It
cuts its eye teeth on bones
of contention, and walked and
talked back by the time it was
a few months old. Even though
there were those who thought
Papa School Board had his
hands full with his other young
ster, West Geauga Elementary
and High School, they all had
to admit this kid was kind
of cute, full of spunk, and in
dependent as all get out. He
learned at an early age that
by bawling loud enough and
long enough he could get Papa
School Board to listen.
Now, Papa School Board is
pretty much of a regular guy.
He tries to do his best with
what he has to work with,
which is all anyone can ex-
pect.
West Geauga Elementary and
High School is a nice kid too
nothing spectacular about
him, but never the less of all
the qualities that we Americans
like to think of as being Ameri-
can. A while back he got
slapped around bit by a
tough guy known as the Hem
lock Point Group, an "above
average" kid, with a big head,
but no more in it than our
friend West Geauga had. When
Hemlock Point tried to take
away some of West Geauga's S
marbles, w. c.. got right up
on his high horse and slapped
him down. From what l hear,
H. P. is still Switching, and
w. G.. is still slapping.
Right now, West Geauga is
having the bead put on him
by his kid brother, Pre-School,
Papa School Board, being a
man of limited finances, is in
a tough spot trying to do the
right by both his kids, but
we think, or at least hope,
that he is too smart a guy to
rob Peter to pay Paul.
Pre-SchooPs voice hasn't mel
lowed any with time, nor have
his demands. His older brother
sits around and doesn't say
Boo" and Papa School Board
eyes his squabbling youngsters
with growing alarm. And while
all this is going on, Hemlock
Point is probably twisting his
long mustache and saying,
"You don't know it, me proud
beauties, but I'll have your
marbles yeti"
Now all this makes a nice
story about children, and for
children, but it is intended for
parents with adult minds, so
let's have it in black and white.
Our problem is this:
/. We have a school board
at West Geauga which, with
a new building coming up, and
more children moving out from
the city each year, is having
struggle to supply both funds
and facilities to give our chill
dren a good education.
2. We have the Pre-School

The funds would be used to
acquire 438 acres of new park

thirds would be repaid by the

Montgomery County would be
in for $393,00 Of the request.
