Taft and Ike Appear
 Neck and Neck In Iowa And Michigan Conventions

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)
 Supporters of Sen. Taft and General Eisenhower maneuvered busily Friday for delegates in the important mid West Republican state conventions - Iowa and Michigan.
 The odds appeared about evenly divided for both presidential as pirants in each state. Backers of other candidates were not SO active.
 Iowa Republicans meet in Des Moines Friday to select 26 dele gates to the Chicago national con- vention. Informal caucuses by counties and congressional dis tricts left the outlook muddled.
 But it appeared from prelim- mary commitments that Taft and Eisenhower were, running neck and neck, packers of each claim ing four of the eight districts.
 In Michigan Republicans ap- peared agreed to compromise on dividing the states 46-vote dele gation rather than risk show down fight.
 Leaders of both Taft and Eisen- hover forces issued statements claiming an edge, but each said they would oppose a resolution favoring agreement that Michigan favoring convention endorsement of any candidate. They said there was general agreement that Mich igan would have an uninstructed delegation.
 The Generals packers pushed their campaign in Illinois for a write-in victory over Taft in next Tuesdays preference primary. The Ohio senator is on the ballot.

Russia Breaks Off Relations With Cuba

HAVANA, Cuba, (P) - Russia broke diplomatic relations with Cuba Thursday night because - she said-the islands revolution ary government turned back two Soviet diplomatic couriers carry ing secret bags of documents from Mexico City.
 A sharp note from Moscow said refusal to admit the two couriers deprived the Soviet legation of normal diplomatic link with the Kremlin.
 Cuban sources have charged the Russian legation in Havana was a center for Communist spy ing and intrigue stretching all through Latin America.
 The English language Havana Post said in an editorial Cuba herself may have been on the verge of breaking relations with Moscow because of these activi- ties.

teachers were underpaid, and
have all been more than WILLING
to see that the board take
some action on a raise. This
they did, bounteously. Raises
went from $500 to $1,000 per
year. The average raise over
all was $500 per teacher for
one year. Teachers making the
lowest salary of $4,000 per
year or $500 per month, were
raised to $2,400 per year or
$266 per month. And from S3-
400 per year or 1878 per month
for the highest salary to S4-
200 per year or $466 per month
These salaries are based on q
nine months school year. Last
year the average salary was
$4,000 or 1884 per month. The
average this year is $500 or
$3.50 per month. This placed
West Geauga at the top of the
list in the county. Praise ran
high for the board at this action
until it was discovered that
those raises could only be
Forthcoming if the tax lew
passes. Of course, it was not
stipulated in the teachers con-
tracts that such a condition ex-
listed but since the money is
not in the hands of the school
board at the present time it is
obvious that if these raises are
to be realized the passing of
the three mill levy is the only
answer.

Because the public was denied
the right to discuss this issue
at the July meeting, and since
they felt it was of major i'm
portance, as the board was de-
voting so much time to the
issue, feeling ran high. There
were drastic statements made
to the effect that the only
way to get the school board
settled down to pertinent school
business was to defeat the three
mill levy and cut off their op-
Grating funds.
Since it is human to make
mistakes land our school board
is very human) they realized
the impossibility of transporting
these kindergarten children,
and at the next meeting voted
4 to ! against transporting
kindergarten children by school
bus. The Pre-School group was
justifiably dismayed, because
the same board that had voted to
support their efforts were now
throwing back into their laps
the transportation problem. AT
each board meeting one mem
ber of the board consistently
tried to persuade the board to
reconsider and it took THREE
MEETINGS and THREE MO-
TIONS (Which are in the rec
ords of the board) NOT to
transport kindergarten children
to settle the issue. Then the
board bought a new bus, to
relieve the over crowded situa-
ton at the school, and once
again pressure was brought to
bear concerning the use of the
new bus for the kindergarten,
with an offer by the Pre-
School group to pay the ex-
penses of operating the bus
this year, if kindergarten chill
dren were carried in it. But
the board stuck to their other
three motions concerning this
subject and voted to conserve
expenses where they could and
put the bus into immediate use.
For this action they are to be
commended.
Somewhere in all this dis
cussion came the subject of
the teachers salaries. We towns
folk all have agreed that the

ill, DIR. Phillip Pease came to

of the West Geauga school dis
trict will go the polls. Weighing
heavily on the minds and in
the hearts of these voters will
be the defeat or passing of a
three mill levy for the West
Geauga district school system,
This levy is to cover raises
given to the teachers this year
Now, in the minds of a great
many of these voters, there is
some doubt that our local school
governing body used good busi-
ness judgment when they SET
the salaries for the teachers
this year. We have attended
several board meetings since
June endeavoring to CLEAN some
reasons for several of the de-
cisions our local board has
made, so that we might &C
quaint those who question us
about this tax levy with the
facts. Here are those facts as
they come from the records
of the school board,
In July a public meeting was
held at Chester school to de-
eide the advisability of incorp-
Grating a kindergarten in the
West Geauga school district.
Through the efforts of a few
local citizens a poll of the
voters was taken and the re-
suits stemming from those who
turned in their ballots showed
a decided lack of interest in
putting a new grade into an
already overcrowded school
system. The reasons were OBJ
vious: namely,
l. The classrooms in the lower
grades were already over
crowded, averaging 33 pupils
per class. .
2. The school buses were
dangerously overcrowded.
The school board, overlooking
these obvious facts, approved
the kindergarten, accepted the
funds of the Pre-School P. T. A.
to pay the teacher and the
Parkside Recreation where the
kindergarten was to be housed,
and proceeded to try to figure
out how they were going to
transport the little five-year-
olds on busses that couldn't
possibly hold one more child.

The Geauga Republican Record
Chardon, Ohio
Dear Mr.. Gore:
This sure is a nice town.
It'll be two years in Decem-
ber since we've moved here to
your town ,and we like it a
lot. AS I was watching my two
children march out with their
kindergarten class today, I won
dered if anyone stops to think
what tremendous job the
teacher, Mrs. Anna Shultz, is
doing. Her classes are. corner
stones in character foundations
of Chardon's future citizens.
And then I thought how nice
it is to walk down the street
of a small town and have the
chief of police nod and greet
you with a smile when he
doesn't even know you.
This sure is a nice town.

like they were cash.

like they were cash.
This sure is a nice town.
The folks on our street, Chip
mans, Fullers, Evans, and the
Joe Mazny's have been friendly
and helpful. The men in the
Chardon Bank, especially Mr..
Dragonette and young Mr.. Mac
Donald, as well as the people
at Security Savings are always
courteous and glad to see you.
Even Bestone was nice about
shaking our house and cracking
the plaster. Their Mr.. johnson,
who came out with a seismo-
graph to test whether we were
getting damaging vibrations,
was a pleasure to talk to.
Lately, Bestone's blasting has
been music to our ears because
we haven't vibrated. Sure hope
it isn't just secondary blasting
and that we'll start shaking
again one of these days.
This sure is nice town.
The curley haired young
fellow in the post office sells
you stamps like he was hand
ing you fefty dollar check, so
it perks me up just to mail a
letter.
One day my five-year-old fell
as she came out of Isaly's
behind big ice cream cone.
Audry Cook took her in the
back room of the drugstore and
gently applied first aid and a
bandage to her arm, making
all traces of tears disappear.
It's nice to know the friendly
folks at Cromwell's who save
our Sunday paper. It's fun to
be in the bowling league at
B g. v Recreation. It's been a
treat to have my hair done at
the Smart Set because of Mr..
Richard, and nice to try on a
blouse at jules. In Franks
barber shop they treated my
baby son like he was bonnie
Prince Charlie and gave him
a nice haircut too.
This sure is a nice town.
Well, I could 60 on and on
up and down the streets of
Chardon - about how nice it
was to find old friends had
moved here too - about the
same time we did, and had
started their Chardon Auto
Parts business. Now Irene and
Bill Opper feel about Chardon
as we do, and are enjoying
their memberships in the Jay
Gees and the P. T. A. groups.
The rare understanding and
friendship between the different
church groups is something to
sing about in Chardon too.
This sure is a nice town.
Chardon folks have a special
something that makes it nice
to be part of Geauga county's
big family the grass is
greener, the trees are the most
colorful, the flowers are more
beautiful than anywhere else,
and it's the attitude of the
people who live here that makes
it SO. If more places were like
this little corner of the earth,
this sure would be grand
old world.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Ardy
