Most Teachers

Contracts

Chardon school superintendent
Ira Garfield told the board of
education Tuesday evening that
almost all Chardon school tea

nounced that the school is re-
modelling a portable building

The Board approved a list

uation this year, and refused
permission for the Chardon
Motorcycle club to use t h e
building on the school property,
which is near North street and
the swings, for use as a meet
ing plce but granted permis-

on the rear of the school prop
erty with entrance from Maple
ave, extension. The board al
so approved the school day
camping program scheduled for
June II, Is, 10 and 20 for

the present high school build

the high school addition would

in two weeks.
Mrs. John Aumick, grad e
school principal, gave an ev-
aluation of the public library
program, consisting of the sto-
ry telling hour in the school
by Mrs. Shaw, which also met
approval. She also reported on
the Creative Work Shop which
was attended by a number of
teachers from Chardon and
other Geauga county schools
and said the teachers felt they
were benefited by it but that
it would be of more value in
the fall.

Local Residents Support
President EisenhowerS Policies

poSal to raise the minium wage
to 80 cents an hour was
approved by 56.7 percent of the
voters. At the same tine, 23.6
percent took the position it
should be higher than 80 cents
and 15.5 percent favor leaving
1t at the present IS cents-an-
hour level. Only 4 percent of
the voters failed to answer this
question.
In response to the Congress
Sman's inquiry on farm price
supports, only 8.4 percent of
the voters said they favor rig
id supports at 80 percent of
parity or above, Some 1873 per-
cent favor the Presidents flex-
ible price support program, and
45.7 percent would go further
and abolish price supports al
together, letting farm com =
modities compete in a FIRE e
market" Seven percent did not
reply to the question.
With respect to the Govern
ment'S policy on electric pow
er, 56.1 percent said they agree
with the President that private
industry should build power
producing facilities where it is
able to do so under govern
ment regulation. Only 12.1 per
cent said they believe the Fed
eral Government should build
all power producing facilities
in the belief it can do the job
better and cheaper. Twenty-Five
percent felt that under no cir
cumstanceS at all should the
Federal government be in the
power producing business.
On military policy, 5O.6 per-
cent of the 18th District resi-
denS favor a program of basic
military training, plus reserve
service, for all youths, in ad-
dition to the draft. Thirty per-
cent simply favor extending
the present draft laaW to meet
military requirements. Only 6.
8 percent expressed the view
that the armed services should
be required to rely solely on
voluntary enliStementS.
Congressman Bolton, candid
ly pointing out that "the Fed
eral government has real eco
nomic problems" asked his
constituents to put themselves
in his place and say where
they thought taxes should be
cut and also where Federal ap-
preparations should be reduc-
ed. 57.6 percent told him flat
ly that they thought no tax
cuts should be considered until
the Federal budget is balanc-
ed. But 20.5 percent thought
that taxes should be reduced
to stimulate the nations eco
nomy even though it means an
unbalanced budget. Thirty-two
percent said they believe Fed
eral spending should be cut fur
ther in order to balance the
budget, leaving taxes at pre-
sent levels. On this question,
some favored cuts in both tax
es and Federal spending. A
heavy majority of the 18th Dis
trict voters favor cuts in indi-
vidual income taxes first. Near
ly 85 percent said personal in
come taxes should be cut and
less than z percent opposed it..
At the same time, only Is per-
cent of the voters thought cor
poration income taxes should
be reduced while So percent
said they should be kept at
present levels.
With respect to Federal spen-
ding, nearly 68 percent of the
voters called for cuts in Ag-
riations, including funds for
riculture Department approp
price supports, conservation
measures, and Rural Electrifi-
cation. Fifty eight percent

WASHINGTON - Residents
of the five counties of Ohio'S
18th Congressional District gen.
orally support President Eisen-
hower's policies, particularly in
the field of foreign relations.
Representative Oliver P. Boil
ton said today in releasing the
results of questionable poll
which he distributed to t h e
area.
The Congressman said that
voters in AShtabula, Geauga,
Lake, Portage and Trumbull
counties endorse the Presi =
dents stand on raising thes
minimum wage to 80 cents an
hour, support his position on
public versus private power,
and feel tax cuts should be
postponed until the budget is
balanced.
BY an overwhelming major
ity of more than 10 to one,
Mr.. Bolton said, voters reject
ed the Democratic Party's sta
nd in favor of rigid Federal
price supports at 80 percent of
parity for farm commodities.
The heavy majority against
rigid price supports and the
heavy majority of almost 10
to one in favor of continued
American participation in the
United Nations were the most
emphatic opinions registered
by the nearly 5000 constituents
who returned the questionna-
ire which the Congressman sent
out in March.
The tabulation of the returns
just completed shows that $50
percent of the 18th District vot-
ers on the multiple choice ques-
tionnarie checked the state -
ment: II agree with the Presi-
dent that the United States
should supper Chang Kai-shek
in defending Formosa." Only
11.9 pecent favor, the position
taken by the critics of h e
President, that the Unite d
States should provide Chang
the means to attack the main
land even if it involves the
United States III war with Chi
ma. Still fewer, 1915 percent,
believe the United States
should pull out of Formosa be-
fore we become involved in
war. Some lis percent of tho
Sc who replied to the poll did
not express an opinion on this
question.
On the question of using the
atomic bomb, 46.2 percent of
the 18th District voters said
the United States should use
nuclear weapons against furth-
er communist aggression. Only
TO percent said that they fav-
or preventive war" while we
have nuclear superiority in the
belief that Russia will attack
us sooner or later anyway.
Some $40 percent said that the
United States should use ato-
mic bombs only as a last re-
sort because of the danger of
retaliation against United Sta
tes cities. One voter in eight
did not answer this question.
With regard to the United Ma
tions, 1914 percent of those who
replied to the questionable
told Congressman Bolton they
believe the United S a t e S
should take the lead in siren
gthening the United Nations.
Almost an equal number, 39.2
percent, said that the United
States should continue to work
within the framework of the
U. N. organization to achieve
peace. Only SO percent took
the position that the United
States should get out of the
United Nations. Eleven per :
cent did not reply.
