League Endorses
County Jail Issue

The League of Women Voters
of Geauga County will support
the County Jail Bond issue.
Through their study Of child well
fare in the county, the League
realizes the immediate need for
adequate facilities for delin-
|quent children.
Renewal of the Child Welfare
Levy is also receiving League
support Passage of this Levy
is absolutely necessary if the
Child Welfare Department is to
continue to function. Since this
is one of the duties of the gov
ernment of a county, the peo-
pie are obliged to see that it is
continued in the opinion of the
League.
The League too supports the
County Health Department Lev
y. This levy will enable the
health program in the schools
to be expanded and accelerated.
As such the League believes it
to be in the best public interest
and most worthy and necessary
of passage.
In connection with the SER
vices they offer to voters, wo-
men of the League will be sta
toned at the various general
stores and shopping centers of
the county on Friday, October 26
to offer copies of their State
and Local Candidates and Is
ues Bulletins to all those inter-
ested in having this concise
non-part.san information.
A Yes" vote on the proposed
Four Year Term for State Sem
ators will advance efficiency in
government. This is the opinion
of the League of Women Voters
after a thorough study of the
issue and concenSus of League
individual opinion.
This issue will be presented
on the November ballot as a
Proposed Constitutional Amend
ment for Four Year Term for
Members of the Ohio Senate.

Tracy.
In spite of almost three

statistics of age (55), eyes

a resume of credits and honors.
Even the Carlo file is fatter,

the break with ritual.
Changes Possible
With so many commendable
reflections of livelier. broader
taste and production merits,
the 18th Academy show should
not be open to bubbles, even
minor ones.
Nevertheless, one admiring
spectator jotted down q few
reservations.
For one, the show could
stand tightening. True, this
one moved better than most
of its predecessors over its
hour-and-45-m minute span. Its
movements, however, still lack
variety and have a tendency
to become repetitious. The
master of ceremonies intro
duces the maker Of the award,
the latter announces the win
ner in that classification. the
winner rises from his seat and
walks, bounces, or runs to the
stage to get his prize and voice
his thanks.

notonous In spite Of the vari-

There is o defensible logic
behind the shows formal. Of
course. Hollywood learned long
ago that stars sell shows and
what better opportunity than
this to present them in hordes

article on acting and she was
stumped. She wanted to know
my definition of acting. Well,
that threw me. I don't know
what I do when I act. ! don't
follow any textbook dictum. I
have no special method. And
when youngsters ask my ad-
vice, about all I can tell them
is to keep their eyes and ears
open, to observe anything and
everything, and to pry be-
meath the surface. In other
words, you can't act a part
convincingly unless you I'M
derstand the character and
the story. Beyond that, rules
can only be restraining"
No Retirement
Aside from acting, Tracy's
big interest is the John Tracy
Clinic which helps hard-of-
hearing children, yet even here
he gives virtually full credit to
his wife, Louise. who organized
the clinic years ago upon
learning their child was deaf,
but thanks to methods de-
veloped in part at the clinic
bearing his name, he leads a
normal life.
AS to retirement after So
pictures and 26 years in Holly
wood, Spence waves the sug-
gestion aside. mot a chance"
he said. 1.-THE only reason an
actor retires is he's in bad
health or nobody offers him a
job. My health is okay and
I still get plenty of offers. Any
how, I'm not rich enough to
quit work. They will have to
shove hard to get me out of
the way"
Tracy sleeps poorly and has
existed on perhaps four hours
slumber nightly for years. He
rises early and by 5 am. is
quietly drinking coffee by him.
self. He likes these early
morning hours of silence and
solitude, sometimes takes long
walks before the city awakes.
During filming he is at the
studio before the night watch
men go home. You get the
impression he is not too happy
a man. Yet he doesn't grumble,
and won't talk about his
private life.

THE PASSING SHOW

That was one of the better
Academy award shows George
Seaton and his colleagues pre-
sented on television the other
night.
The Oscars went as expected
with no major upset. The
glamor could not have been

productions pace was sharper

he was the right choice.

are SO many other pedestrians

There are two other rea-
sonable assumptions behind
this packing of the shows

likes to see this multitude Of
high-powered performers be-
not be truer that these play
ers are attractive and dis

there is the further truth that
as the show wears on they be-

a better way to show this than
by letting as many members

A Smaller Cast?
Yet the thought persists
that an hour-long show with

incisive parts might prove
more exciting.
