1ustmentS be made between the
four schools named.
You were requested by this
Committee to allow the elemen-
tary children residing in Glen
Mar Park to elect either Wood
acres or Brookmont Schools for
the years 1856 and 1857. 1t was
pointed out to you that a survey
had been completed on August
II, 1856, which indicated that
should this election be granted,
81 children would have attended
WoodacreS and II would have
elected Brookmont. OF course,
this number was exclusive of
kindergarten children, who, we
were given to understand, Great
ed no problem at either school.
On Friday, August 81, 1856, by
telephone, word was received
from your office instructing all
Glen Mar Park students, up to
and including the Fourth Grade,
to report to Brookmont on Sep
TENDER a, 1856; Fifth and Sixth
Grade students were granted the
election of attending either Wood
acres or Brookmont School; stu
dents residing in the new section
of Sumner were to be assigned
to Brookmont School; although
no school BUSES were presently
available for students of Glen
Mar Park, that the matter was
under consideration; and that the
principals of all the schools con-
cerned would meet with you on
September z to reappraise the sit
uation.
BY copy of a memorandum adj
dressed to the principals of Wood
acres and Brookrnont Schools,
dated September IA, 1856, this
community was ultimately in
formed of your decision to leave
the pupils in Brookmont where
they were then presently enrolled.
According to the text of this
memorandum, it was addressed
to the principals of Woodacres
and Brookmont Schools because
you had misplaced the name of
the chairman of the committee
that came to see you about the
transfer of the students.
Although this is rather diff
cult to understand, it is noted
that you requested each of your
principals to deliver a copy of
the letter to the respective PTA
presidents and in that way you
hoped the information would get
across. Unless you purposely in
tended to invite the support of
both PTA organizations of the
schools involved, it is most diff
cult to understand why these or
CARNATIONS were brought into the
matter.
AS these organizations had not
been involved in earlier discus
sions of the transfer problem, it
would appear that they should
not have been involved in the
matter. 1t is the opinion of the
Council in this community that

Rubber Co.
Grants &c
Wage Hike

Employees of The Chardon
Rubber Company, in meeting
with Mr.. Oplinger, vice presi-
dent in charge of manufacture
ing, and Mr.. V. M. Brediger,
presient, on August 6, were
told that, effective with their
pay period beginning Angus 27,
their wages would be increased
by 9 cents per hour.
It has always been the policy
of The Chardon Rubber Com
pany to follow the pattern of
wage increases in the rubber
industries. The big four have
negotiated new contracts with
their union giving them 6 cents
per hour and another 3 cents to
build up a lay-off fund.
Since the lay-off fund, estab-
nshed by the automobile work
ers, has not proven satisfactory,
we have decided to give our
people the cents all at once,
so each and every employee
would benefit. Increases were
also passed on to our employees
IN 1855.

as directed by law.
2. There are no provisions for
bath or showeres in the women S
cells.
8. There is a holding cell,
supposedly for use of prisoners
awaiting trail, but since this
cell is so small and ventilation
consists of a small aperture,
cut in the ceiling and venting
into the main cell block, the
sheriff has been reluctant to
confine anyone in this cell for
a prolonged period. We again
point out it is unlawful to con-
fine anyone awaiting trail with
those already convicted.
4. There is no rear fire exit
in the main cell block.
S. There are no separate ac-
comodationS in a specially e.
quipped cell provided for the

The men of the Mennonite
church at Pleasant Hill and the
Conservative Church at Burton
Station volunteered to take out

deal of needed space.
The stairway was cleared a.
way, joiSts placed in the open

and plaStering done where need

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry BosWorth,

all furniture and equipment had
to be taken out of the dining
