Sales Tax Stamp
Retention Voided

The Sales Tax Vendors of Ohio
should be particularly happy be-
cause of a new law enacted by the
1O1st General Assembly which be-
comes effective August 18th, Rep.
Elton Kile of Madison County
pointed out today.
On that date, the new law will
eliminate the necessity of vendors
retaining the cancelled prepaid
sales tax receipts as part of their
records for inspection.

Board Says Cost
Is Prohibitive

The Swimming Pool Board met
and decided to close the pool at the
usual closing time which is, this
year, on Monday, August %.
Mr.. Ballenger stated:
Full consideration was given
the petition handed to the Board,
bearing 224 names asking that the
Pool remain open until Labor Day.
In checking the names on the peti-
tion it breaks down as follows-2
names had been scratched off of
the petition before it was given to
the Board After the petition had
been received 19 people asked that
their names be withdrawn from
same SO this left 203 names on the
petition. Sc of those signing the Pc
tition have to the best of our know
ledge never used the pool or have
children who do. Only 48 of the
Signers were purchasers of season
tickets which the Board felt would
be the only ones who might bene-
fit financially by having a longer
season. Out of this 48 they were
the holders of only % season tic
kets, due to the fact that in several
instances both the man and wife
signed the petition while holding
only one season ticket. Since this
number is less than 196 of Lon
don's population the Board felt the
other 99% of the people of London
would not appreciate our having to
ask them to support Bond Issue
to help pay for the upkeep of the
Pool to satisfy the 10.
"The pool has been kept open
longer in years past and the rec
ords of these years were checked.
We found that we have never had
enough swimmers to even pay the
manager of the pool not saying
anything about the help.
when the Bond Issue was voted
to build the pool, the Council men,
bers at the time promised the vot-
ers that there would be no addi-
tional taxes in the future to main
tain the pool and your present
swimming pool board would like to
continue to be able to keep that
promise. The pool ground was en-
larged this year and some play
equipment was added which the
Board felt would be for the bene-
fit of all swimmers. These things,
as well as keeping the pool in good
shape cannot be done unless lit
tie profit is set aside each year,
and past experience has proven to
us that this cannot be done by
keeping the pool open until Labor
Day unless we raise the price of
both individual admissions and
season tickets, which the Board
feels the public in general would
not want them to do
Since the pool is seasonal pro-
ject the help must be people who
want jobs only during the summer
months which in most instances
are school teachers or pupils and
since school starts the day after
Labor Day it would not permit our
experienced help to properly close
the pool and make sure everything
was in good shape for the next sea-
son. .
Everything, and all tax payers
considered, the Board felt that for
the benefit of 99q6 of the tax pay
ers, the pool should be closed at
the usual time so as to continue to
keep it self supporting"
Gordon Oxley. the pool manager,
presented the Board with his reSig-
nation effective as of the close of
the pool this year. The Board re-
fused to take action on the resig-
nation at this time.

CRIME COST

@# sOSS'N
CRIME COST
Crime is an expensive busi-
ness in America. Frinstance
- the taxpayer spends about
$182 on crime for each S1.OO
on education. 1t appears that
we now spend some 20 billion
per year on crime. In num-
Der of cases, prison guards
earn more than qualified
teachers.
VIEWPOINT
Many a striker has started
out to get higher pay and end
ed up with closed shop.
WiMMIN
A man never knows what
he's getting these days. We
passed house the other day
and the housewives entire fig
ure was hanging out on the
line to dry!
CHOICE
Rumor has it that a bunch
of local merrymakers were
making a great noise in front
of certain house the other
night. Lady stuck her head
out the window and asked
what all the commotion was
about. One of the group yelled
out Come down here and
pick out your husband so the
rest of us can go home"
FARMING
Looks like the salvation of
the farmer may lie in the de-
crease of arabic acreage due
10 the expansion of graveyards
people graveyards and auto
mobile graveyards, that is.
LIVING
This is the only country In
the world where you can buy
your wife a ring costing any
amount you choose. You can
buy her one costing, say, five
hundred dollars. On the other
hand, you can buy It on the
installment plan and pay SIX
hundred for it.
ADVICE
Best way to teach your
youngster the value of money
is TO borrow some from him.
SALVATION
The Salvation of America
lies in the fact that SO many
people will run for a school
board job which doesn't pay
anything.
THINK
Old Demosthenes said it. :.
THE property of the lazy and
shiftless belongs to those who
are willing to face labor and
danger!"
TUNE
Old Haywood Snugg, the
Irving Berlin of Warner S
Corners, has written a new
song entitled "A pretty Girl
Is like a Malady."
Heywood's old girl friend,
Big Nancy, says that if all the
guys in the world like Hey
wood were laid end to end.
they wouldn't reach from here
to the disposal plant.
LOOK
To save our soul, we can't
remember what girls wore be-
fore the advent of blue-jeans.
FUTURE
When the satellite age is
fally launched, we suppose
that out of the billions of stars
out in space, Russia will want
the same one we've picked
out.
ELMO
Elmo the Great" says that
he doesn't believe in advertis-
ing. He explains his viewpoint
thusly why, I advertised
once last year and was SO
busy didn't have no time to
go fishing the whole dern
summer"
NOTE
And another oddity OF life
in the United States is the fact
that this is the only country
in the world where a boy
would rather go to school than
join the army.
HUH?
Never wear rose-colored
glasses in poison ivy patch.
WELL?
A tax collector is a guy who,
after he found out that you
can't take it with you, devised
a means whereby you can't
leave it behind.
PROGRESS
One extra expense we ap-
prove of is the increased cost
of playing juke boxes. Ur
from a nickel to a dime, we
will welcome the day when
the cost goes up to fifty cents
Personally, we can't get much
satisfaction out of listening to
the love problems of a hill
billy poured out to the accom-
paniment of an out-of-tune
guee-tar.

Chardon, Ohio.

Dear JOnn.
We out here from Geauga need
the Record as it is our only
contact of people and places
that are still we'll remembered.
1 have read with interest about
the new Hospital Drive" and
as you will remember I worked
hard for this same deal though
from another approach. I still
very mucn recall the fact that
our Bond Issue Drive" only
lost by IA votes and that 6212
per cent of the voters were for
the hospital.
I worked for it and still think
that Geauga needs a hospi-
tai and although I am now set
tied out here in California I am
including with your SubScrip-
ton price an additional $1,000
which I trust you will turn over
to the committee with my best
wishes for their success. I sure
wish it could be a lot more.
Very truly yours,
