On the Air

There are heartening moments
when it is apparent that the
broadcasters are not completely
deaf to public clamor. This week
brought a veritable abundance of
these moments-two. One was The
word that 'Mr. Peppers" will be
back with us soon and the other
was the announcement that Wash
Iington viewers will see the Mary
|land-Navy game tomorrow on
WNBW.
"Mr. Peppers" has an October
I26 return date set on NBC-TV
(WNBW), when it will take the
place Of doc Corkle" on Sunday
nights at 7::30. Any Of you who
complained to the network, when
the Wally Cox comedy series was
dropped like any ordinary sum-
Imer replacement, can take credit
for a small part in its return.
It Is true that the sponsor may
have become dissatisfied with doc
Corkle" even had there been no
show in sight to replace it. It was,
however, that uprising of the "Mr.
Peppers" set-something akin to
1.-THE revolt when 'Kukla, Fran and
Ollie" was cut to Is minutes
that let the sponsor know he had
a replacement here with a built
lin, faithful audience.
This outburst of public senti-
ment. incidentally. must have been
extremely gratifying to Wally Cox,
who found his TV niche in "Mr.
Peepers," and Fred Coe, who
created and produced it. 1t
started off slowly last summer. at
first winning only Wally Cox ad-
mirers, an enthusiastic but not
numerically overwhelming group
at the time. BY the time it went
of the air, Mr.. Cox's fame was
widespread and "Mr. Peppers
devotees came from all walks OF
life.
Actually. NBC did not want to
drop the show when its time was
up and its summer sponsor was
considering continuing the spon-
sorship. Suitable time could not
be cleared, however.
The return of "Mr. Peppers. by
the way, marks a small victory fol
New York and live TV in the stu
alton comedy field. "Corkle" is on
film; Peppers" will be done live in
New York.

In the case of the Maryland
Navy game an additional factor tC

audience clamor caused the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton to relent and allow its foot
ball ration plan to be altered.
The fact that the game in Bal
timore is sold out and television
could not hurt its box Office was
not the sole consideration.
The figures after last years test
by the NCAA proved, at least to
it. that televising any big game
had an effect on the attendance
at lesser grid contests in any area
where the TV was available. If
George Washington had been
playing here tomorrow, the NCAA
knew that lot of disloyal types
would have stayed home to watch
Maryland and Navy on television.
This cry for more and more
sports on home television seems
to be rising up again, incidentally.
and it may be time to summon
reality again. Don't blame the
broadcasters II they can't bring
you every televised game you want
to see or don't bid against thea
ter television for a big fight.
They'll be glad to televise any
sports event that doesn't cost
more than a sponsor is willing to
pay.
You may. if you feel justified.
blame a sports promoter or a
college for wanting to show a
profit at the box Office. But a
man who hires an arena and
stages tortoise race has right
to charge admission. The real
'culpritS in this whole thing are
the TV dealers who advertise "See
ALI the Big Games and Big Fights
on Television!" -...
If the emptor will just caveat
for a moment he will realize that
somebody is promising something
in these cases that he can't de-
liver.

Big Vote
Is Likely
Next tuesday

A record Republican vote
seemed likely today at the Ge-
auga primary next Tuesday as
the county witnesses vigorous
contests for several local offices.
In addition, for the first time
in many years, the Democrats
are offering full slate of can
didates for endorsement.
Principal contests were for
the nomination for sheriff and
prosecutor on the Republican
ballot. In normally Republican
Geauga, nomination is tanta-
mount to election.
H. K. Bostwick, veteran
prosecuting attorney for Ge-
auga, faces two contestants for
his job. His leading opponent
is James Dinsmore of Chardon
who has received the official
blessing of the Republican
party county committee. Also
in the race is James Werner,
Chardon attorney, who recently
moved to Geauga from Cleve-
land.
Principal contender against
Sheriff E. John Phelps is Carl
Kronk of Claridon. Mr.. Kronk
for many years was chief dep
uty under former sheriff Stuart
Harland. He walked out of the
office the same night the sher-
iff and most of the other
deputies quit last fall in pro-
test against new Jail regula-
tions.
Other contests include the
county commissioners, where
James Hunt of Middlefield has
entered the field against Com
missioners Charles Riley and
Carlton Lowe. Deputy Treas
urer, Irene Marks, is compel
ing against Ralph Ford for the
post of county treasurer va
Gated by Grace Truman. Thomas
Rowley of Middlefield is COM
peting against incumbent New
ton Chapman for the post of
Geauga's representative in the
general assembly. The candi-
dacy for the new congressional
district, of which Geauga is a
part, has vigorously pressed in
the county. Leading contenders
are John w. Morrison of Au-
rora and Oliver P. Bolton of
Mentor.

is a candidate for denomination
as Geauga county commiss-
ioner. Mr.. Riley, SO, is a life
long resident of Burton. He was

crates, part of which was orr
ginally purchased by his grand
father more than a hundred
years ago.

school board for eight years
and was township trustee for
ten years. He was secretary of
the Geauga fair for 13 years.
Mr.. Riley listed his estimates
of the responsibilities of a
county commissioner as follows:
First, to give our County,
the loyal, honest service as a
Commissioner, to which it is en-
titled. To cooperate with the
other officers in any way pos
sible. To listen to the sugges-
tions and complaints of the
people without rancor and to
try to give them consideration
at all times. To try to improve
the County roads as fast as
possible.

Flood Relief
Aid Is
Slow

Today, in reviewing the num-
ber of contributions toward the
Geauga County Red Cross eff
fort to raise $500. for flood
relief, which are coming in
slowly, Mrs. Scott Bostwick,
Chairman of Geauga County
Chapter said, 81 personally ap-
peal again to all Red Cross
fund workers to go over their
territories and give their friends
and neighbors a chance to con-
tribute their quarters for this
humanitarian purpose. Each
worker who has done the job
has splendid cooperation from
the citizens of Geauga County.
The Geauga residents already
contacted feel that a quarter is
not too much to give to relieve
the mental and physical suffer
ing of the thousands forced
out of their homes by the dew
astating western floods"
Out of the 400 workers con-
tacted, IA have turned in $3.50.
"If every Red Cross solicitor
whom we contacted would 60
out over his or her territory,
I'm sure our goal of $500.
would be reached" Mrs. Bost-
wick said.

due to the many grass fires
in and around Chardon: The
only variety to this series of

a Held for
Attack on
Young Girl

Lyman Collier, % year old
Negro from Erie, Pa, and
three teen age companions are
in the county Jail today on
charges of attacking a IA year
old girl on a lonely road in
the northern part of Chardon
township.
According to the statements
made to the sheriff by the
teen age youths and a state
ment from the girl, the four
took turns attacking her. Coll
ier pleaded not guilty on ar
raignment on four statutory
charges.
The girl, who lived on Route
"a, was walking along the pave
Iment and stumbled ard fell as
the car containing the Negroes
was passing. They stopped,
picked her up and forced her
into the car. They drove to
Chardon, apparently looking for
a deserted side road. At Char
don they turned and went back
couple of miles.
Mrs. Vinette Grennan, who
lives about a mile and a half
east of A came upon the group
as she was driving home. The
Negroes fled but she caught
their license plate number.
She drove the girl to Corey
hospital in Chardon and then
reported to the sheriffs office.
The Negroes were picked up
shortly after the alarm was
sent out by Painesville police
and turned over to Geauga
deputies.
At press time the girl is still
in Corey hospital but is ex-
pected to be released shortly
