MRS. H. S .WOODIN of South
Hambden wrote the Geauga Re-
cord ten years ago that she
spotted a flock of Canadian
geese in the sky, flying south
for the winter, and twenty years
ago a man from Auburn wrote
a letter to the editor, telling of a
mirage seen in that township.
This all goes by way of say
ing that spotting strange things
over Geauga skies or on county
farmland is not exclusive to
1957-the age of Sputnik and the
flying saucer.
Sheriff Louis RobuSky and his
deputies in recent weeks have
been led on more than one wild
goose chase, and not after the
Canadian variety. During the
five day period following Olden
Moore's report of an unidentified
flying object in Montville, no
less than ten reports of similar
objects in County skies were
made to the department.
Many skeptical folk point OUT
that no reports of these objects
came in before Mr.. Moore'S
statements were made public.
However, standing on the other
side of the fence, one can argue
that Geauga folk are now more
conscious of UFOS, are scanning
the skies more, and logically
would spot those little things

But as soon as he starts driv-
ing it he has, in addition, vari-
able costs represented by gaso-
line and oil, tires and mainten-
ance. For our typical driver ii
amounts to 1869, or 3.69 cents a
mile.
Adapting these AAA findings
to 10000 = mile operation in &C.
auga County, the fixed charges
remain at $514 but the variable
costs become $738. The total,
81 1896, is equivalent to nearly
seven cents a mile.
This compares with the less
efficient operation at 10000 mil
eS year, which comes to an
even ten cents a mile.
More limited use of the car,
on the other hand, means still
higher mileage costs. At 5000
miles a year under the burden

AS GEAUGA GROWS, every
thing gets bigger-our schools,
our shopping areas, our indus
tries and our newspapers, to
name a few. Also growing is the
number of civil cases filed in
Don Phillips office. He's clerk
of the Common Pleas Court.
The petition for each civil
case brought to court is placed
in a small file, which in turn
is put in one of several drawers,
according to the initial letter of
the last name of the person
UIlISlIlS The CHdFSe.
AS the number of divorce
cases, suits for the collection of
money, and others increases,
these drawers are becoming
more and more crowded. In
fact, the situation is getting
downright out of hand in the &C"
and IS" drawers. In those draw
ers you can barely pull a file
out, and it's getting even harder
to get one back in without mang-
ling.
Deputy Clerk Jean Wenzel
suggested jokingly the other day
that the court develop a waiting
list for the &C" and IS" GUS
toners. I'm sorry but our &C.
and IS files are full" she would
tell prospective petitioners, "but
Well be glad to put you on a
waiting list"

nine districts in Geauga. The
sizes of the individual schools
certainly is increasing, but the

Dalton AssaiIs
Rule in Virginia

Ted Dalton charged last
night that virginias Demo-

stripping local governments Of
independence and making
them rubber stamps for Rich
m0nd."
II believe II TO be true that
virginia's government has gone
down and down in It's protec-
ton Of Individual and local
freedoms" said the Republican
candidate for Governor.
He asserted that the govern
ment had gone down ito the
point where It now exists as one
of the most complete and OPP
pressive oligarchies in any gov
eminent anywhere TO be
found"
In q radio address here Mr.,
Dalton. a State Senator from
Radford. said the cream Of the
tax sources are taken BY the
State: the counties and cities
are becoming more heavily In
nehted year BY year while the
machine leaders boast Of the
State being free Of debt.
Senator Dalton continued 10
criticize the States poll tax
and other election laws which
follow this pattern Of being
directed toward one-party con-
troll Of government"
The pupil placement Law
adopted by the General As
sembly last year as part Of the
States new anti-integration
program was cited by Senator
Dalton as another example Of
State dictatorship. He called
the placement plan. which vests
all student assignment powers
