to have anyone in Huntsburg

Discuss
School at
.Munson

On the evening of May 26,
the School Board of Munson
met with the Mems Club and
other interested people of the
community to discuss the prob
lens involved in the enlarge
ment of the present school or
building of new structure,
Members of the School Board
present included Mrs. James
Osborne, Mr.. Rex Thornburgh,
Mr.. E. Johnson and Mr.. F. Wise,
Mr.. F. Schofield, Superinten-
dent of Geauga County Schools
and Mr.. Miller, an architect,
were available to answer any
questions the group might ask,
Mrs. Osborne reviewed the
problem before the School
Board which is basically one of
population growth causing over
crowded school facilities. Mr..
Schofield pointed out that Mum
son is one of the three COM
munities in the county that has
been slow to develop school
wise and he attributed this fact
to the rigid zoning laws in the
township. At this point the
fact was brought forward that
200 building permits have been
issued since 1948.
The fundamental needs of the
community for a school is six
clasSrooms, a playroom, which
would be available for the use
of the local civic groups, and
school cafeteria, also the pos
Sibility of space for a kinder
garten. The Board advised that
with a bond issue the maximum
amount that could be raised for
the building or altering of a
school would be S156,000. They
(the Board) have interviewed
three architects formally and
two informally and they felt
that a plan suggested by Mr..
Miller was most feasible at
present. The plan as presented
by Mr.. Miller was that the
present building be brought up
to code standards pointing out
that the classrooms as they
stand now do not have ad-
equate lighting facilities and
sewage is an ever-present prob
lem. Mr.. Miller proposed taking
out the entire first floor and
raising it enough that we
would then have a ground

Myra Hovey
Rites Monday

CHESTER-Funeral services
for Mrs. Myra Herrick Hovey,
who died May 20, were held
at the Chester Baptist church
on Monday, June l, at 7:30
pm. The Rev. James Boyd of
Madison, a former pastor az
the Chester church, officiated.
John M. Ritondaro, her former
neighbor and friend, conducted
the funeral.
Mrs. Hovey was a faithful
member of the Baptist church
and before her illness always
attended Sunday school and
worship services. Her presence
there had seemingly become a
part of the church. The even
ing when so many gathered to
pay their last respects to a be-
loved friend and the Rev. Boyd
paid tribute to her wonderful
life, emphasizing her many fine
characteristics, her friends could
almost feel her living presence
there. The Rev. Boyd said that
Myra meant one who is con-
cerned. He enumerated the
many ways in which she exer-
cised concern about her church,
sympathetic concern for her
neighbors, Christian concern
all. He emphasized the great
help she had given to the
church and to the pastors. He
said that he, her last pastor,
gave thanks to God that he
had known her.
The funeral procession of
automobiles extended from the
church to the Chester cemetery,
a distance of more than mile.
The sunset of the beautiful eve
ming was a most fitting time
to gather to pay respects to
the sunset of such an eXem-
plary Christian life.
Pail bearers who carried her
to her earthly resting place
beside her husband who pre-
ceded her in 1885 were Harvey
McGrew, William Knight, How
ard Reiter, Carl Petersen, Milan
Pelton, and Harry Ditto.
Myra Herrick, the daughter
of Horace and Harmony Nor
ton Herrick, was born in Ches-
ter, Sept. II, 1869. Here she
grew to useful and lovely young
womanhood. She attended &C.
auga Seminary and was fore
most in promoting the annual
reunions. She married Fred
Hovey, October 18, 1895. In
1904 they took into their home
an adopted baby boy, Neal
and loved and cared for him
Mrs. Hovey's entire active
life of over 83 years was spent
in Chester. She was especially
active and ready to help in any
good cause. She was member
of the Baptist church and Sun

Turpin Is Expected

Statement Toniqht
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Britain's
Randy Turpin is expected to
make an important announce
ment after his middleweight
championship fight against Bobo
Olson in New York tonight,
some of Turpin's close friends
said today. They gave no iAdi-
cation as to the nature of the
statement.
British sports writer's have
speculated that Turpin plans to
retire. After losing to Sugar
Ray Robinson in September,
1851, Turpin was reported as
saying he meant to retire IL
months later.
Meanwhile some British sports
writer's ignored the 11-to-5 odds
against Turpin and picked hun
tc win.
"I expect Turpin to dispose OF
Olson by the halfway stage of
their 15-round bout" said Joe
Bromley of the widely read
Sporting Life.
MY shirt is on Randy to win
by a Knockout in the 18th
round" was the forecast of Tom

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Brit-
aims Randy Turpin weighed
surprising 157 and Carl (Bobo)
Olson 1912 for their 15-round
world middleweight champion
ship bout at Madison Square
Garden tonight.
There was unusual interest in
the weigh-in at the Garden
lobby because the British Negro
had trouble making the 160-
pound limit when he fought
Frances Charles Humez June 9.
The two 25-year-old fighters
will battle for the title vacated
last December by Sugar Ray
Robinson. Turpin held the
crown for 81 days in 1851.
There had been some concern
that the Englishman might be
pressed to make the 160-pound
limit because of unorthodox
training methods.
1t was the lightest he's
weighed in 212 years. He
weighed 1884 when he beat
George Angelo in London Octo-
ber 81, 1852. He was 1884 when
he beat Sugar Ray Robinson for
the middleweight crown in the
spring of 1851 and weighed 159
the night Robinson regained the
title the following September.
Turpin ate no breakfast but,

margin. Graham has COM
pleted 50 of 112 attempts for a

Bobby Lane of Detroit moved
ahead of Scarbath, but Dutch
Van Brocklin of the Rams is
ahead of all three in touchdown
production, seven to five each.

Don Stonesifer of the Chicago
Cardinals is the leagues leading
pass receiver-28 for 1856 yards
and one touchdown. Runnerup
is Elroy Hirsch of the Rams, who

catches for 407 yards.
Lou Groza used the Redskins
to oust Doak Walker of Detroit
from the scoring lead by the mar
row margin of 81 to 36. Groza
scored IL points here on three
field goals and three extra points.
Pat Brady of Pittsburgh not
only held his punting lead but
boosted his average to 49.8 yards
on 90 puntS. Woody Lewis of
Los Angeles moved into first
place in punt returns with 10
for 164 yards, a 1874 average.

turn man with four for 233
