Geauga Get
Milk Ring Test

TOT Dairy herds in Geauga
County have just completed the
third milk ring test for control
Of Brucellosis. The results show
ed tnat tnerc were 20. percent
of the herds suspicious to the
test.
829 Dairy herds were tested
in 1855 in Geauga county. There
were % percent of the herds
suspicious to the test.
All suspicious herds will have
their cattle blood tested indiv-
idually to determine the reac-
tor and doubtful cows. This
blood test will be made in the
next two weeks.
Since the Milk Ring Test was
first started in 1854, there has
been a steady decrease in sus-
picius herds. The test in 1854
showed 4O.2 percent suspicious
herds. Some of the decrease
has been due to less herds in
Geauga county; but, a num-
ber of reactor and doubtful cows
have been disooses # in other
herds.
On january / 1851 the Cleve'
land Division Of Health will re.
uuire all milk and milk pro.
ducts for pasteurization to come

Still Clear

Scott S. Bostwick former Ge-
auga assistant prosecutor and
Chardon lawyer, who landed his
Cessna ITO on the Ohio Turn
pike near Streetsboro cloverleaf
when "wethered in'' Friday, has
his flying record clear of I'm
safe poeration.
He's trying now to win the
right to fly his plane OFF the
turnpike and bring it home.
Mr. Bostwick was not COM
PEELED to show Ravenna Munich
pal Court Judge James G. Fran
ce how poor the visibility was
last Friday. He was cited to ap-
near in the court at 3 pm,
Mondaya.
He had come to court armed
with photos showing ground Vls-
utility was less than 100 yards
when he landed his four-seater
plane in the turnpike west-bound
lane. two miles east of the. inter-
change
RaVenna City Prosecutor Ge-
orge Hayes recommended to
the Turnpike Patrol that unsafe
oneration of air chraft" charges
not be filed against Mr.. BoSt-
wick.
Patrolmen followed the advice
Of their prosecutor and dropped
the charge.
1t. John Bishop head of the
turnpike patrol district said that
1--WE acted on the advice of the
prosecuting attorney. 1t was our
intention to file the charge.
Prosecuting Attorney Hayes
said he believed Bostwick land
ed his plane in an emergency
He indicated that BostWlck' S
landing did not constitute "u1'
safe operation
Bostwick's plane still occu-
pies a big spot at the parking
lot near the toll gates at the
Streetsboro interchange. The
Turnpike Commission has no
decided whether it will permi
Bostwick to fly his plane OF
the smooth highway designed fol
truck and suto traffic.
1--WE don't think he will bt
permitted to fly it off the turn
pike" said 1t. Bishop. "We'r'
not demanding that he disbant
the plane" However the lieu
enant could not suggest any Q
ther means of getting the plan
out of the parking lot withou

Auto Club
Recommends
Parking Lot

Building of ana off street
parking area to accommodate rs
to 100 cars and changeover
from angle to parallel parking
on the village square will be re-
commended to Chardon council
soon by the Traffic and Engin-
eering department of the Cleve-
land Automobile club.
william L. Hammond, depart
ment manager, disclosed he is
nearing completion of a report
on a paraking and accident sur
vey requested last October by
then Mayor D. G. Muchmore.
Hammond termed the forth
coming report very optimis--
tic" declaring: There is no
great parking or traffic prob
lem right now. Parking and
traffic flow appear adequate for
five or six years However, fire.
quency of accidents due to
angle parking would seem to in
dictate a changeover to para
uel with the curb, in the near
future"
The report will show 36 percent
of all Chardon accidents in 1856
involved angle parking. Forty
three of 122 accidents were due
to backing from an angle or
other rear-end collisions.
Hammond said SO cars, or five
percent of the 1888 total which
parked on the square during
Feb. 10 (day the parking sur
Vey was made) were all day
parkers, mostly commuters to
Cleveland. These used 80 per-
cent of the 383 available spaces.
Yet the squares parking is
in general at only SIS percent of
theoretical capacity, Hammond
said. Turnover rate is "A cars
per space per hour.
The report will make six ma
jor recommendations:
l. Immediate start Of plan
ming for an off-Street parking
lot of Is to 100 spaces, to the
east of the park, to take care OF
all-day parkers.
2. Extension of two hour
parking limit to wider area
of the square park.
8. One-hour parking on the
west side of Main st. between
North and South Hambden SITS
with continuation of the two
hour limits on the east side)
4. A limited number of half
hour spaces on the west side
of Main st.
5. Planning for future off
street parking in the rear O
the main business area. I
6. Conversion from angle park
ing to parallel parking, to be
considered in the near future
Changeover from As degree
angle parking to parallel Will
the curb would reduce avail
able parking spaces so percent
but greatly reduce accidents, il
Hammond'S opinion.
Hammond praised Chardon fol
putting a one way traffic pat
tern into effect north and soutl
through the square about si1
months ago, following an Auto
mobile club recommendation
He said it had increased traffic
flow so percent.
