Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1957-10-17

Two of the four buildings in
the Chardon school system were
built during the % years that
George D. Talbot served as SUI
perintendent.
In the fall of 1927, Mr.. Talbot,
who had come to the Chardon
schools six years previously ur1-
der the administration of Philip
E. Wa rd, became Superinten-
dent upon Mr.. Wards retire
ment. Mr.. Talbot had organized
the vocational agriculture de-
partment in the summer of 1921
and had been teaching in this de-
partment since that time.
At the time Mr.. Talbot took
over in 1927 the school had a to-
tai enrolment of 460 pupils with
a staff of 18 teachers. In 1948,
when the high school building
program began, the enrolment
was $50 with 80 teachers. Today
20 teachers handle 1888 stu
dents.
A report, submitted In 1948
outlined the Chardon school bull
ding program up to that time:
Part of this growth has been
due to a rather gradual growth
, in the local population and also
to the addition of adjacent ter
ritory to the district. This peri
cd (prior to 1948) has also seen a
great increase in the salaries of
teachers, the average salaries of
high school teachers in 1927 be-
ing less than $500 and in 1948
approximately $4,000.
Increases in school popula-
ton and rapid advances in edu-
cational procedures naturally
call for more and better facili-
ties. In 1887 the old frame gym
nasium" built by popular sub
scription in the 1920s through the
efforts of Supt. Ward was re-
placed by a new auditorium and
gymnasium. -
The cost of this building
which was designed by Archi-
tect MIG. Miller of youngstown
was, with equipment, approx
mately $4,000. 1t provided the
school with fine auditorium and
physical education facilities and
the community with a meeting
place large enough for any oc'
caSion.
1.-TWO years later, in 1889, the
old grade building, was replaced
by a new structure, again de-
signed by Mr.. Miller. This new
building, together with it's equip
ment, cost the community $50,
900 and the federal government
an additional $65 900, this latter
sum being a grant of the Public
Works Administration.
This new building was de
signed primarily to house ele
mentary grades and at the pre-
sent time (1948) thirteen room
are used for this purpose, on
room for the kindergarten ant
twelve for the first six grades
The balance of the building |
used for cafeteria purposes ant

For years the school has used

the campus as a play spot. In
the fall of 1916 Supt. Talbot call

the situation and out of this
meeting grew the Chardon Com

never had adequate playground

the Haynes Company would not
print a magazine legally ruled
obscene.
A magazine distributor who
handles seven of the IL maya
zines cited says about 10000
copies of each title are sold in the
Washington area every issue,
about one-third the circulation of
some of the popular family-type
publications.
The distributor says he will not
send any of the IL titles into
Montgomery County until ''the
situation is clarified"
Spokesman for two Washing
ton distributors say they have re-
fused to handle magazines they
consider obscene in the past.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive in

trist told the Sentinel that pros

more likely to read magazines
containing stories of sex and vio-
lence than "the so7called criminal
element.
The middle class must find es-
cape in reading while the lower
class often escapes by actually
performing sexual or violent acts,
he says.
The physician states, "From my
experience with patients I've new

worse by reading this type maya

should supervise the selection of
reading matter for children I'M

Cpl. Leahy says he compiled his
list by comparing magazine con
tents with the publications ruled
on by the States Attorney. The
detective says the magazines We're
cited primarily for filthy sto
ries" rather than lewd pictures.
The 1886 law makes the selling
or possession of "lewd, obscene
or indecent book, pamphlet
newspaper, story paper, writing
paper, picture, card, drawing or
photograph" misdemeanor.
Conviction can bring a 500 to
5000 fine or a Jail term of 10
days to a year.
Similar penalties are provided
in an 1853 law that prohibits the
printing of obscene matter in
Maryland.
A 1855 law specifically prohib-
its the sale of obscene literature
to minors.
Mr.. Barbee says, 1--WE could
have prosecuted this time, but it's
good public relations to give
them warning.
The ban is largely effective. A
Sentinel reporter visited about 20
places of business over the week
end and found only one carrying
any Of the magazines cited. This
was Wheaton grocery store, APP
parently missed by the five-man
detective group that made the
check February II and II. They
confined their calls to drug stores
and newsstands.

Accidents Cut Sharply
On Baltimore Parkway

The parkway. however, had an
accident rate of only 1877 pei
100 million miles of travel, with
1901 cars a day using the road
Traffic Volume Up
The biggest surprise in the
study. traffic engineers said, was
that the total traffic volume on
the two roads in 1855 was more
than 10000 cars a day higher
than the number using the old
Route l just two years before.
Offlcials cited the difference as
an example of the mushrooming
of auto use that can be expected
with more super-highway con-
struction. Maryland officials also
have used such figures to argue
the need for a new expressway
to handle future traffic between
the two cities. Such a new route
is under study by Federal and
District officials.

Construction Of the Baltimore
Washington parkway has sharp
ly reduced accident rates despite
a big climb in daily traffic be-
tween the two cities, a Mary
land Roads Commission study
showed yesterday.
The comparative study covered
1852, the last full year that old
U. s. served as the main inter-
city route, and 1855. when both
roads were fully in operation.
In 1853, Route /. the "Old
Bloody" of national notoriety,
was the scene Of 1900 accidents.
In 1885,, Route / total accidents
dropped to 500. while there were
only 244 on the new parkway.
80 Were Killed
Thirty-two persons died in
Route l accidents in 1858. In
1855, there were six fatalities
on Route / and only one on the
parkway.
Such decreases had been ex-
pected for a number of reasons.
One was that average traffic
volumes on Route l dropped
461 in 1855. Actually, this meant
the accident rate on the old
road dropped only from $50 per
100 million miles Of travel in
1858 to 1927 in 1855.

Fire shooting from a grease
duct on top Of the Hotel Statler
last night attracted some atten-

but caused no commotion and
little damage inside.
Firemen remained for more
than two hours checking the duct
that runs from a kitchen on the
first floor to the roof. But the
flames from burning grease in
side the duct on the roof were
put out in minutes.
Joseph F. Maxon, assistant
manager of the Sixteenth street

guests. however. didn't know
what was going on.

Power, Farm
Plans Weighed
byWest COP.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 4 up.
Western Republicans said to-
day they believe President Eisen-
hower's partnership power policy
is sound, but feel the farm pro-
gram needs selling.
Meade Alcorn. chairman OF
the Republican National Com
mittee. listed these as some Of
the conclusions reached during
a three-day regional party con-
ference attended by G. o. P.
leaders from 10 Western states.
The conference ended today.
President Eisenhower in a
telephone message yesterday,
directed the conference to find
out why Republicans lost ground
to the Democrats in the West
in the 1886 elections.
Mr.. Alcorn told reporters II
think we have a reasonable in
sight on why we lost ground.
And we're on the road to finding
the remedies"
But he declined to say speci-
flcally how the Republicans
would try to win in 1858. I'VE
don't want" he said, Ito tele-
graph our punch"
Mr.. Alcorn said the delegates
believed the Republicans would
pick up one Senate and six House
seats in the West in 1958-just
what they lost in 1956-as well
as one governorship.
He added he himself was more
optimistic than that. II khink
we'll pick up eight House seats
and also another governorship."
The Republicans now hold
five Of the eight Senate seats
which will be up for election in
1858 in the 10 Western states
represented here. They hold five
Of the seven governorships and
20 Of the So House seats.

He said that the two deputies

evidence.
The grand jury said, however,
that they, the jury members, and
not the two deputies, were re-

The criticism of Mr.. Thornton
was only one part of the final

Langley has been convicted of
