Prosecuting attorney James
Dinsmore said today the Char
don zoning resolution would pro-
badly have to be readopted In
conformity with state law to be
effective and could have no af-
feet on the cemetery case. :.
However, the Catholic ceme-
terry group was enjoined from
locating its cemetery closer
than 300 feet of the Harrington.
property.
Four other suits against the
cemetery have been filed this
week and it seems likely the
same ruling will be applied to
them.
Court of Appeals ruling of Oc-
tober 10 states that:
The court finds that the zon-
ing resolution involved in this
action was not adopted in con-
formity with the applicable pro-
visions of the State of Ohio, and
is not a legal comprehensive
zoning resolution; and further
finding that the ablishment
of a cemetery as proposed by
defendants, appellees, Catholic
Cemeteries Assoc, is in vic.
lation of Sec. 1721.03 Revised
Code, the prayer of the plain

Chardon Village Council re-
ceived a plea at it's meeting from
Chardon Chamber of Commerce
to pass an ordinance to control
loud music blaring into Main St.
from business places.
The deluge of music, 100 per

exclusion of Beethoven or Bach

Chardon a honky-tonk air in the
opinion of the Chamber which
took action for legislation at the
last meeting.
Chardon has had an ordinance

advised that Chief of Police
John Boil be told to ask the

Fred Rutz to
Head Drive
for Hospital

Fred C. Rutz, Chardon busin-
ess executive and widely known
church leader, has been appoin-
ted General Fund Chairman of
the current Geauga Hospital
Campaign, dedicated to raise
sufficient funds for constructing
the vitality needed hospital in
Geauga County.
Mr.. RutZ, resident of Char
don for the past twenty-five
years, received the appointment
from the Geauga Hospital Board
of Trustees. He is volunteering
his services in support of the
campaign.
He and his wife, Marian, are
parents of two children, a son,
Frederick l., student at Char
don High School, and a daugh-
ter, Elizabeth, a freshman at
Ohio State University.
In accepting the challenging
position, Mr.. Rutz emphasized
that all of Geauga County must
unite behind this vital campaign
if it is to be successful. I'VE
cannot expect, nor do we have
the right to expect, stated Mr.
Rutz, f'that other communities
will continually care for our
hospital needs when they too
are forever struggling to ac-
quire additional facilities for
their own requirements.
I'VE cannot expect either,
Mr., Rutz pointed out, that
doctors will be attracted to Ge-
auga County until adequate hos
pital provisions are provided
for their patients
This problem of vitally need
ed hospital facilities for our
selves and families rests entire
ly with all of us in Geauga
County. But, we can," Rutz
continued, solve this problem
quicly and easily, if everyone
gets behind this campaign and
gives their financial assistance
during this current drive"
To date, more than $500, 600
has been pledged and contribu-
ted to the building fund. Fed
eral funds, under the provisions
of the Hill-Burton grant, have
also been promised up to one
third of the total cost of the
hospital.
The roadway leading to the
hospital site has been completed
and is in readiness for accept
ing building supplies. Actual

Geanga Election Turnout Usually Above Average

that has free elections.
In 1852, when 81 million could
have voted, only 81 million did
so.
This year a new goal has been
set. Each part of the country
is asked to increase by 10 per-
cent the number it sent to the
polls in 1852. The quota for &C.
auga County would be 1910 ad-
ditional voters.
Part of this goal should be
easily achieved in most areas
because of population gains.
The rest of the 10 percent will
have to come, if it does, from
previously Indifferent citizens
who now realize the Importance
of exercising their franchise.

In Geauga County, according
to official records of the last
presidential campaign, the turn
out was above average. Some
72 percent of the voting-age
population cast ballots in 1852,
compared with So percent ma
tionally.
In 1948, the county record was
also above par. Some IA per-
cent of the potential voters ap-
peared. The average that year
was So percent for the nation.
Public-minded citizens every
where have deplored the apathy
with which great numbers of
the people regard national cleo
tions. The figures show that the
proportion that votes in the
United States is far lower than
in nearly every other country

Special to the Record

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 - How
well do residents of Geauga
County turn out for national e.
lections? What percentage of
them go to the polls, compared
with voters elsewhere?
The ansWeres to these oues-
tions are pertinent in view Of
the nationwide roundup of vot-
ers now under way. Both ma
jor parties have endorsed the
drive to beat the 1852 turnout.
In some states, registration
has been completed and all that
remains to be done there is to
make sure that the eligible vot-
ers actually go to the polls on
November 9th. In other states,
further headway can still be
made.

Floyd Miller official of the Pill
grim Christian Church, asked
Countil what can be done re-
garding the drainage problem
at the village parking lot in the

election as Representative from
the Second REPRESENTATIVE District,
defeating Jacob w. Zimmerman,
319 to 1872.

defeated Jacob e. Banks, Mill

tion as Levy Court Commission
er by am exact 800 vote plurality
1s517 to 1,217.
Each man raised a good majori-
ty in his own immediate territory,
but the scattered election districts
were almost solid for Adams. The
pre- -elecuion battle caused a stir
when Mr.. Banks used the issue
thIt tlle Lord Baltimore Hundred
iir1e.11 uot had a Levy Court Com
missioner for 25 years and pointed
out that Mr. Adams and Levi S.
Warrington, Seaford, president of
the county body, both came from
the same western Sussex area.
Except in their own immediate
territories and such districts
where the local contests attracted
attention, the. Levy Court fight
drew a light vote. AS am example,
in Lewes, only SO of a total 423
registered Democratic voters took
the trouble to cast a ballot. TWEEN
ty-four favored Adams with eight
votes going to Mr.. Banks.
Sheriff Frank r. Dickerson,
Lewes, who had withdrawn from
the Levy Court battle two days be-
fore the primary vote was at the
center of dispute although he
was not present. Three persons,
who had not heard of Sheriff Dick
erson's Withdrawal, made a rum
pus at the polls insisting that they
be allowed to vote for him.
In a Republican dispute i'm the
lower county, Harvey II. Lawson,
Millsboro, won out over Ti1gman
S. Johnson, Roxana, for the NOM
ination to the State Senate from
the Fourth Senatorial District
This contest was also fought along
strict geographical lines. Mr.. Law
son contended that the rotation
system established by former u. S.
Senator John G. Townsend gave
the area which he represented the
nomination this year.
The final vote count showed
Lawson with 562 and Johnson with
