in Calf. Home

A former Chardon resident,
Paul C. Trouner, and his wife
had a very frightening eXper-
ience recently at their home in
Pasadena, Calf, when Mr..
Trouner answered the door at
1:25 am. to be faced by three
masked bandits who demanded,
Where's the money!"
Mr.. Trouner is employed as
an assembler for the Vernon
Auto plant, where as a side
line he sells electrified lunch
boxes and was in the habit of
taking money to the plant to
cash pay checks for fellow en-
plyees. One of the robbers had
been employed at the plant and
apparently knew that Trouuer
had $4,000 in his house for
this purpose.
After tying and gaging Mr..
Trouner and his wife and ram
Sacking their home and threat
ening them at gun point they
found the money which was
mostly recovered after the ar
rest of the three robbers within
the next "a hours.

to Conduct

During the month of March
membersof the Geauga County
League of Women Voters will
be seeking interviews with the
business men in Geauga County
who are in the manufacturing

the League of Women Voters of

A large number of Ohio Lea
CUES already have presented
their findings, and the Geauga
County League believes, among
other reasons, that the future
development of the st. Law

especially important that the
viewpoints of Geauga County

the overall study. Thi opinion
is share by representative bank
