Snpt. Garfield Lists Needs
of Chardon School System

Ira Garfield, superintendent
of Chardon schools, this week
listed the needs for the pro-
posed school bond issue and for
the school levy.
In his statement Mr.. c a n
field said:
"Chardon, like many o h +
northeastern Ohio communities
especially those near Cleveland
has grown rapidly in the last
ten years. This steady growth
is most evident in the increase
in the number of school child
rem. In 1914 Chardon schools en-
rolled 704 students. Our enroll
ment this year, 1854, was just
double, 1419 students. T h e e
increases have been brought a.
bout by the high birth rate and
by the new people moving in
to our area from the m o r e
congeSted city.
Provision must be made, by
careful planning, for the addi-
tional load in our school sys-
tenn. Our Board and admins
tration are desirouS of provid-
ing the best possible facilities
for our youth. To cope with the
increase in numbers and to
keep a reasonably high stand
ard, the Board has found it
necessary to ask the voters to
pass a $235, 900 nond issue and
to renew an existing operating
levy this fall. This years grad
uating class of 60 students is
the last of the relatively small
classes. Succeeding classes con-
sist, for the most part, of 100
or more pupils. Not only more
but also larger clasSrooms must
be provided and operating fund
must be raised to maintain the
expanding School.
We Must Enlarge
Our High School
THE money derived from the
bond issue is to be used to
continue and complete tn e
high school plant which was
started in 1947. Because of
limited funds the present school
plant has been constructed in
series of three steps. One of
the last areas to be construct
ed, that providing for physical
education, has proved to be too
small and needs to be enlarged
at once. Present plans call for
enough space for physical edu-
cation classes for both boys
and girls at the same time and
will make it possible to con-
duct basketball practices after
school at the high school. This
addition will help the schedul-
ing of all high school classes
materially. 1t will release the
uptown auditorium for more use
by junior high and elementary
pupils, in addition to it's con-
tinuing use for spectator sports,
for plays, and community ac-
tivitieS.
"a laboratory type class
room, which is now used by
the industrial arts department,
will be made available for reg
ular classes when the industrial
arts department is moved into
shop rooms Of proper design

Death Takes Three
Year Old Munson Girl

Pender. Burial will be in Ak

and sufficient size, to provide
for its needs. This space is
provided in the new plans. The
new vocational department
room will release two badly :
needed rooms for elementary
classes. The vocational depart
ment is now housed in the ele-
mentary building, using
scheduling difficulties by no
being in close proximity to the
rest of the high school.
"Our music department, now
housed in much needed class
rooms, will have especially de-
signed quarters which are suit
able and sound proof. These
new music rooms will also be
used for visual education and
the accommodation of larg e
groups.
"All these additions are des-
perately needed to operate our
high school efficiently and to
maintain our Glass A rating,
according to state department
standards. They are essential
if we are to be favorably rated
by other accrediting agencies.
How About Cost To You?
"The passage of the $235, 900
bond issue will bring us close
to our bonding limit for school
building purposes. We are not
alone in this situation. T h S
fall seven other Geauga county
schools are voting bonds to
bring them to the 8 percent
limitation: four have already
bonded themselves to the limit
making II of the ID school dis
tricts in Geauga county willing
to pay the cost of providing the
best they can, under legal Ii
mutations, for their schools.
"TheSe bonds will run for %
years, and, according to n e
figures furnished by our audi
tor, will require an average of
1.8 mills addition to the pre-
sent tax rate, which means a
cost of $.18 per year for every
$100 valuation. On a typical
home, carried on the tax dupli-
cate at $4,000 the cost to the
owner will be $5.40 per year.
1--WE believe that we should
continue the building plan ef-
fected in 1947 and finish the
basic essentials of our h G h
school plant, before we attempt
the next step, of relieving the
congestion in our over crowd
ed elementary school. Planning
for the expansion of the ele-
mentary school is complicated
by the proposed parochial
school, which, when completed,
will temporarily relieve t h
over crowding of our first
six grades. We anticipate that
the high school will have to
provide for ali children of the
school area for many years to
come.

R1Ew hope for mental patients that's the
lV big story behind recent important devel-
opments in medicine. As many as 100000
Americans suffering from hitherto incurable
fears and tensions may benefit from three new
brain operations. On another front, scientists
are getting exciting results in easing tor
mented minds with drugs.
Here is the kind Of dramatic result the
operations can produce. Recently suspicious,
irritable schizophrenic patient was wheeled
into an operating room = man who had not
been helped by any Of the ordinary forms Of
treatment. Since the brain feels no pain,
local anesthetic was used, and the surgeon
began the operation. That was at 2:42 in the
afternoon.
The patient was still tense when cut was
completed through some nerve fbers on the
right side Of his brain. But halfway through
the cut on the left side at exactly ESQ pm.

you focus your attention and deal effectively
