fthe Capitol stage there is Miss
Mindy Carson to demonstrate that
one way to insure enjoyment Of q

The script Harry Kleiner based

I"The Red skies Of Montana" does

There are not as many pictures
about fighting forest fires as there
are about, for instance. what
happened to Quantrill's Raiders
after the Civil War.
''The Red Skies Of Montana" is
played with conviction, too, by
Richard Widmark and a cast Of
people who seem bent upon SEEM
ing more like forest rangers than
like actors impersonating forest
rangers. The romantic touch
and just q touch it isis fur

home from a forest flre too.

Director Joseph M. Newman
obviously Is man who recognizes
a routine script when he sees one
however. He has wisely concen-
trated his footage on the battle

climatic sequence is highly charged

Miss Carson. who can sing better
than almost anybody, or at least
make you think so while you are
listening to her, is . welcome

singing. this includes the comedy
OF Noonan and Marshall, the
dancing Of the Fontaines and the
music Of the Don Henry Trio. All
nice, but Miss Carson is easily the

Blind Folk
Attend Tea at
E. CIaridon

MIDDLEFIELD - Mrs. Paul
McNish and Miss Nellie Wright
attended the tea given by the
ladies of the E. Claridon Meth
odist church, Wednesday after
noon, and Miss Wright ap-
peared on the program. The
tea was largely attended and
among those who enjoyed it
were more than thirty vaca-
TONERS and house personnel
from Highbrook Lodge.
Highbrook Lodge is located
in Claridon township not far
from the Geauga County Home.
The Camp, as they call it,
opened June "a and since then,
two hundred and ten persons
from Cleveland, excepting two
from Lorain county, have en-
joyed its hospitality.
Miss Eileen Shea, the direc-
tor, spoke of the work and the
effort she and her assistant,
John Bendekovich, have made
to encourage their guests, all
of whom are partially or en-
tirely blind, to enjoy the rest,
outdoor life, and all the rec
reations that can be provided.
Most Of those people are city
dwellers and it is a rare treat
to wander through the woods
in safety following the guide
wires.
Many are newly blinded and
have an opportunity to mingle
with those who are used to
the dark and thus learn inde-
pendence from them. One Of
their number, Miss Viola Baum,
played a piano solo. Mr.. Bende-
kovic, assistant director, played
the accompaniment while they
all Joined in their camp song.
He also proved himself an ex-
cellent pianist when he played
a solo. .
The Highbrook Lodge was
given to the Society for the
Blind by wealthy lady of
Cleveland who was interested
in the blind and during the
year the Society tries to raise
"a fund to pay the expenses,
for those who enjoy it pay
very small amount for board
and room. They collect tax
stamps to help, so if anyone
cares to, they may send their
stamps to the Cleveland Society
for the Blind, 1858, E. Ninety
third st.
Camp closes Monday and
more than two hundred people
will recall through the the
coming months, the delightful
two weeks they spent in Ge-
auga county, at Highbrook
Lodge.

Bass Lake trustees four girls
were able to complete their
Junior Life Saving badges under
the direction of Miss Janita
Huth. The four who received
their badges were Cathy Nc
Geough, Olive Osborn, Marion
Bannister and Carol Johnson.
The program closed with a
dramatization of the story of

by Mary Hartong. Two major
projects of the children during
the summer were the building

working with the children at
the program next summer. Mrs.

workshop in story telling which
she started last spring.
Other invaluable workers
were Mrs. Ralph Neil, Mrs. De-

don. These women report they
had just as much fun at High

To Explain Changes in School
Building Plans at West Geauga

ings, $12,0 900 was used for the
purchase of land, and most of
the remainder was spent for
one-half of the architects fees.
At its August 25 meeting,
Charles Osborn, vice-chairman
of the Board, suggested that
perhaps the new buildings
might be used for grade
building for the present. If the
entire Board accepts this sug-
gestion, the opinion seemed to
be that the present building,
with the elimination of the
lower grade children, would be
adequate to serve the high
school needs.
The West Geauga Board is
to meet Friday, August 20, to
adopt its recommendation for
the September 2 public meeting.

At a meeting on August rs
the School Board accepted the
suggestion of Thomas Butz that

in spite of continued protests
from its architect, A. Sidell, ex-
pressed an opinion that the
public should be Informed of
the many changes from the
original plans presented last
fall at the time of the vote
on the bond issue.
Whether the original plans
were too extensive. for the
amount of money requested or
the rising construction costs
have accelerated greatly since
last fall, major changes are
necessary. The architect recon-
mended to the Board at its
meeting, August Is, sixteen ma
jor and minor items that could
be eliminated. However, the
Board was still $4,000 short
of the funds required for the
architects curtailed building.

from his original plans are: the
elimination of two classrooms,
elimination of the shower room
and lockers under the stands
of the gym, omission of one
boiler and stoker, reduction in
the number of lights in the
gym and library, installation of
wooden outside doors rather
than aluminium, use of concrete
blocks rather than tile in many
areas, reduction in size of the
coal storage vault, the change
in the gym floor from wood
to asphalt, omission of part of
the lockers in the halls, reduc-
ton in the home economics
facilities, and elimination of
shop for manual training in
struction.
Mr.. Sidell, the Boards archi-
tect, stated that that it now
has $434.6OO of the original
$500,000 bond issue left for
the new building and equip
ment. $4,000 has been set aside
for repairs to the present build
