camp this weekend, in time for

I'VE could not be absolutely

A camping session for Char
don junior high age young peo-
pie has been planned for the
week beginning August 26.
A group of young people from
Akron are planning a weekend
session before the Chardon
camp and there is a possibility
that these young people may
participate in the week-long
Chardon camp, Mrs. Morse said.
A BOOSTER which was pur-
chased for the dishwasher has
been shipped to Cleveland, she
said, and will be installed soon.
A Masonic picnic was held on
the camp grounds last Saturday.
This was the first time an out
side group had used the camp
since it was closed in July.
"a camp which has been in
spected and approved by health
officials certainly is safer than
one which has never been in
Spected," Mrs. Morse said.

Water is not the cause of the
disease which closed Camp Pi-
Chi, on Wilson Mills Rd., near
Chardon, on July 13, accord
ing to Geauga County Health
Commissioner DR.. William P.
Edmunds.
A well on the camp grounds
had tested unsafe at the same
time the epidemic of shagilla
dysentary broke out about a
month ago, but DR.. Edmunds
has felt that the two were not
connected.
1T didn't surprise me-" he
said when the reports came
from the State Department of
Health saying the disease-caus-
ing bacilli could not be found
in the water.
ALTHOUGH both of the wells
on the presmiSes are now teS-
ted safe, a new we'll has been
drilled to furnish the camps wa

winds and rain have flattened
some of the overripe wheat and
lowered the test weight from
60 pound wheat to about so
pound wheat to the bushel. Oats
will be in serious trouble if this
rainy weather continues.
Much corn having been plan
ted late anyway will not mature
or yield we'll for either grain,
or silage. If We should get an
early frost, say about the mid
die of September, we would
really be in trouble.
Long range weather forecasts
do not hold much hope for re-
lief for the first half of August.
Predictions are for more rain
fall in Northern Ohio during the
first half of August.
Northern Ohio farmers gen.
orally have to buy some alfal-
ia hay out of the west for their
larger herds, as they simply do
not produce enough for their
needs in ordinary years. Those
livestock and dairy farmers
that do not have an adquate
supply of hay, grass silage, and
corn silage would do well to
look into an adequate supply of
good hay now.
IN CHECKING alfalfa hay
prices in western Ohio last week
I was told that first cutting al
falfa hay could be delivered for
$25 a ton out of storage. Second
cutting alfalfa could be delivered
out of the field for $50 a ton.
These prices are subject to
change at any time, and probab-
ly will as the demand increases
so will the prices. It would be
good idea to check your needs
now, and place your order early
to fill your needs. 2l2 tons of
hay per cow available is good =,
but 3 tons per COW is better
Grass silage can be figured on
the basis of 1-3. That is one ton
of hay is equivalent to three
tons of grass siiage.

ond green light, if this recon-
mendation were adopted.

the Mayor said, wed have traf-
fic lined up all the way to Hamb-
den on Sunday afternoons. -
A second recommendation to
improve the traffic light situa-
ton is one made by the Cleve-
land Automobile Club.
The Club suggests that one
way traffic be put into effect
all the way around the park, in

addition to the present one-way
arrangement on Main st. and
E. Park st.
This would mean one-way
traffic on the streets at the north
and south ends of the park,
which streets are now tWo-way.
According to this proposal no
left turns could be made by
traffic coming out of South St.
and North st. onto the square.
Also, according to the recon-
mendation, motorists would not
be able to drive straight through
from S. Hambden st. to Water
st. or from Center st. to N.
Hambden st.
Il don't see how this would
help any Mayor Parsons said.

In the auditorium the lobby
and wings have been repainted
and additional light fixtures in
stalled in the wings. The girls
restroom has been redecorated.
The cement partitions on the
floor of the bandroom, rem
nants of the day when it was
shower-room, were removed,
and the floor was re-cemented
to make it level.
Additional electric outlets
were provided in the bandroom,
and the ceiling was painted. A
troublesome drain condition at
the rear door of the auditorium
has been corrected by the in
stallation of larger opening
and new cement work.
New drain outlets have been
installed in the boiler room and
tunnel, to improve sanitary con-
ditions by the removal of sur
face water.
STILL to be completed at the
auditorium is the installation of
new metal doors at the north en-
trance, the refinishing of the
gymnasium floor, the painting
Of the back wall of the stage,
and the taking down and clean
ing of all velour drapes and cur
tains. New drapes have been
purchased for the windows on
the west side.
At the high school the former
shoproom, now being converted
to its intended use as a general
science laboratory, has had a
new tile floor installed, and
shelving built under the WIN
doWs.
The entire room has been re-
painted, which includes refinish-
ing woodwork and doors. The
front office has been enlarged
by cutting a doorway through
to the bookroom. Doors are be-
ing added to the shelving in the
bookroom.
The office layout will be COM
pletely reorganized to make bet
ter use of the limited space.
METAL CHALKBOARD and

new science room as soon as
they come from the manufac-
turer. Shop equipment will be
moved into the vocational agri-
culture and industrial arts
rooms as soon as they are COM
pleted.
New desks and chairs have
been purchased for the band
room, the chorus-study hall
room, the new science room.
and the math room.
AS a safety measure, all the
bleachers have been gone over
and new planks put in where
they were deemed unsaf. Th

ted.
A complete report would in
clude innumerable minor i'm
provements and repairs. such
as new bulletin boards, shades.

Herman Dreyer, the bus cap
tain, has been busy most of the
summer making minor repairs,
repainting, cleaning, and get
ting the bus fleet ready for in
spection early in September.
From the above accounting, it
can be seen that the janitorial
and maintenance staff have put
in a busy summer.

A street paving and resurfac-
ing program which began in
Chardon in May of 1855 is near
ing completion today, according
to Mayor Vain L. Parsons.
Four strets have ben paved
and two resurfaced to date, with
one additional street, Maple
Ave, scheduled for completion
before schools open.
The resurfaced streets are
Washington st. and Cherry st.
The streets paved are Daniels
Dr., Chardon Ave, Memorial
DR.. and Maple Ave. Extension.
The paving on Maple Ave. was
held up because the original re-
solution provided for paving on
ly.
After Chardon Council had ap-
proved the paving, the residents
petitioned for storm sewers and
curbing.
Maple Ave. has been prepared
for paving, the Mayor said, and
the village requested the work
be halted until the necessary
resolutions could be passed to
provide for storm sewers and
curbing.
ALL NEW STREETS in the
village will be equipped with
storm sewers and curbing when
they are paved, the Mayor said,
keeping in line with resolution
passed by Chardon Council.
A possible exception to this
is the new streets which will
be built in the new housing al
lotment at the foot of S. Hamb-
den st.
The village entered into a con-
tract with the builder, before
the present storm sewers-curb-
ing resolution was passed, that
the village would accept as de-
dicated streets the streets in the
allotment if they were on a 60
foot right of way and were hard
surfaced.
This contract does not require
the streets have storm sewers
and curbing before they are &C
cepted.
PETITIONS ARE exnected
from property owners on Fifth
Ave. and Allyn Blvd. for paving
next year, the Mayor said.
Improvements on state and
federal routes in the village are
initiated by the state, according
to Mayor Parsons. 1n Chardon
Village, this would include i'm
provements on North ST., South
ST., Water ST., N. Hambden st.
and around the park
I'VE heard the state was plan
ming to improve Water st. this
spring" he said, but we have
heard nothing further fr m
them"
TRAFFIC LIGHTS on Char
donS square, it would appear
have caused a greater use of
the side streets in the village,
Mayor Parsons said.
I'VE may have to restrict
through trucks from using Ma
pie Ave-" he said. The pave
ment may not hold up long un-
der the heavy weight of trucks. "
The mayor said village Off
cials are taking into serious con-
sideration the time cycle on the
traffic lights, which has brought
about some criticism of the
lights.

When you are young, there
seems nothing too big for you
to accomplish. Before you
find out how difficult even
some of the small things you
want to do are, you begin
dreaming of all the big just
awaiting doing. However, time
rushes on like a swift tide
and before you are fully
aware, your brown tresses
have become sprinkled with
snow: you realize you have
waited too long. The only
way to really reach your goal
IS to begin at once today, not
tomorrow, to execute the de-
sign you have in mind. What
is easy for youth in its vigor,
high hopes and hardihood is
almost impossible when you
reach maturity and your IA
culties begin to wane. Each
day after you pass the merid-
ian your chances grow less to
fulfill the early dreams of
the morning. "Those who con-
stantly speak Of the great
things they will accomplish
are like sterile women plan
ming magnificent careers for
their progeny"

Good-day, friends. Glad to
