The Yardstick

BY Msgr. George G.. Higgins


What will be the overall

This question was answered
succinctly as follows in recent

It's worst setback in 20 years
and IL has il coming, But the
movement is still chock-fell of
virility, and after pause and
cleanup il will go ahead
on new and wiser course"
In other words, the net effect
Of the Senate investigation will

We are inclined TO agree with
this conclusion. That is to say,
we are fully confident that the
labor movement will emerge

much more effective than ever
before.
Full Cooperation
We say this principally be
cause Of the statesmanlike and
intelligent manner in which the
labor movement has reacted TO
the Senate investigation. The
labor movement could have dug
its own grave, so TO speak, If
IL had opposed or refused 10

tion. That woald have been dis
astrous Fortunately, however,
George Meany and his associ-
ates on the Executive Council
OF the AFLClO are cooperating
fully with the staff of the Nc.
Clellan committee.
These men readily admit that
there are serious abuses in the
labor movement, and when they
say they arc determined to
eliminate these abuses, they

prefer to clean house on their
own initiative through The

Court St., Rt. 8 West Loom
as Possible New Jail Sites
Groups
Disagree
on Location

Geauga's Planning commits
sion and Geauga's Building COM
mittee locked horns Monday
night at meeting with the
county commissioner to dis
cuSs the location of a new jail
and only agreed on disagree
ing.
AS a result 1t seems the
Planning commission will meet
separately and submit their rec
ommendation to the commits
sioners and the building COM
mittee will submit a different
recommendation.
The planning commission Mon
day night seemed to favor the
purchase of a ten acre tract
of land on Route 8 at the
western edge of Chardon vii
lage for a new jail while the
building committee favored pur-
chasing land behind the present
jail on Main st. and erecting
new building that would face
Court st.
The building committee was
appointed originally by the coun-
ty commissioners to study the
county building problems and
submit recommendations.
About a year ago they con-
cluded a proposal to add the
jail onto the resent courthouse.
The proposal was rejected by
the voters by narrow margin.
The building committee mem
berS argued that the courthouse
and jail should be located close
together. They pointed out that
the moving it to Court street
would answer the objections to
placing it in the park. They
said that the county would be
building a building that could
be converted for general use
and would have a resale value
if it should happen that the
courthouse should be moved at
later date.
The planning commission, on
the other hand, argued the
county would be making a
sound investment in purchasing
the proposed ten acres for a
price of about $35, 900. They
said the extra land would be
good investment for future
county development. Because
the property is near the pro-
posed relocation of Route A,
it would give the sheriff an
easier route out of Chardon to
most of the county. They in
dicated they expected in time
the other county offices would
eventually be located on the
same site.
With two different recommen-
dationS in front of them from
the two groups the county COM
miSSionerS face a problem If
they are to organize a proposal
for a new jail for Geauga vot-
erS this fall,
