BY EDWIN T. HoFSTETTER
County Commissioner
DO WE NEED A NEW
COUNTY JAIL?

This question may seem very
elementary to many who are
familiar with the situation. To
others who have had less occa-
sion to know it is imperative
that the facts concerning the
need be made known.
Our present Jail was built
years ago to accommodate at ca
pacity approximately is to 20
persons. This variation in capa.
city of course was dependent
upon the type of confinement
that had to be imposed on in
dividual prisoners, as we'll as
by their ages or sex.
Present day requirements are
greatly in excess of the original
capacity of the Jail. Our unpre-
cedented population growth in
the county has brought prob
lens with it. Just as the space
requirements for public schools
has been multiplied, so has the
space for criminals, misdemean-
ants, and delinquent juveniles
multiplied. AS long as the pro-
lection of society, and the pun
ishment or correction of wrong
doors, is dependent on the con-
finement of wrong doers in
jail buildings, the problem of in
adequate jail facilities will con-
tinue to rise.
Not only are the space re-
quirements inadequate, but they
are also unhealthful, unsafe and
inhuman as a result. 1t is not
our business. YOU will undoubt-

When you vote, next Tuesday,
an election booth official will
hand you several ballots, one of
which will be an Issues ballot
carrying three proposed amend
ments to the constitution of the
state of Ohio. These three pro-
posalS are on the ballot because
most of the members of the
state legislature felt they are
questions which ought to be de-
cided by a mojority vote of the
people of the state.
Amendments No. and No. 2
are short, clear and imple.
They appear to have little or no
opposition. If adopted, Amend
ment No. l will simplify the
filling of some state appointive
offices; and Amendment No. 2,
if adopted, will remove a some
what unfair restriction on the
right to vote for President and
Vice President of the United
States.
Amendment No. 3, the County

Amendment, is also clear and

Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1957-10-31

Dear Sir:
1 am a candidate for the office
of Township Trustee in Chester
Township. I would like to pre-
sent my qualifications for this
office to you and to the voters Of
said township, and would great
ly appreciate your giving me
the opportunity to do SO through
the medium of your letters to
the editor column.
I was born August 6, 1920, in
Cleveland Heights, where l liv-
ed until the completion of my
formal education. After gradua-
ton from Cleveland Heights
High School and Case Institute
of Technology, entered the u
nited States Naval Reserve and
spent three and one-half years
in the service, both in this coun-
try and abroad. At the time Of
honorable discharge I held the
rank of Lieutenant.
l have been employed by Ad-
dreSsograph Multigraph Corp
oration for close to twelve years
and now serve as Manager of
Development and Product Engi-
neering.
With my wife, the former Mar
iorie Kerr, also of Cleveland
Heights, and our three children,
Nancy, Ricky, and Elizabeth,
live and own property on Will
son Mills Road, Chesterland.
We have been residents of this
township for a little better than
three years and have been great
ly interested in community ac-
tivities. We feel it vital to the
we'll being of a healthy COM
munity that its citizens concern
themselves with the problems
as we'll as the pleasures for their
environment.
l am a member of the West
Geauga KiWanis Club, the CheS-
terland Community Church, the
O.T.A., the CheSterland Civic
Association, and the West Geau-
ga Recreation Council of which
I am currently serving as pres
ident.
1t has been my policy to try
to be well informed as to COM
munity matters. Realizing the
growing pains that are being ex-
perienced by Chester Township,
it seemed important to me to
do what 1 could to promote its
growth into the fine residential
community We hope it to be.
With this thought in mind I con-
Sented to the nomination for
Township Trustee and earnestly
desire to be elected.
l believe in sound community
planning, increased lot sizes for
new developments to a mini
mum of one and one-haf acres
and $50 foot frontage, enforce
ment of existing zoning regula-
tions, increased police protec
tion for Chesterland, and above
all, representation of the major
ity.
1 am confident that 1 can
serve the township we'll and pro-
mise that if I am elected, to
fill the position to the very best
of my ability.
1 am looking forward to the
opportunity of personally meet
ing my fellow citizens at the
Candidates Forum to be held
Friday, November /, at West
Geauga High School at $50 pm.
/ shall be glad to answer any
questions concerning my candi-
dacy at that time.
Very truly yours,

NEW YORK (R.-Although
Sean O'Casey has equal rank
ing with such modern play
wrights as Eugene ONeill and
George Bernard Shaw, it has
taken Is years for his newest
play to reach Broadway.
And he didn't quite make it,
at that. For his Purple Dust"
had its premiere at the Cherry
Lane Theater, which is in
Greenwich Village and a long
taxi ride from Broadway.
First impression is that
purple Dust" is one of
O'Casey's most invigorating
dramas, that 1t possesses pro-
found commentary on things
that are happening in the
world around us today.
Irish HumOr
Also. there is always the
O'Casey Irish humor to sprin-
kle laughs amid his sermons.
1t should be explained now
that O'Casey has been living
for a long while in England
because there were certain
things he didn't like in his
native Ireland.
In Purple Dust" O'Casey
reveals that he still has critical
commentaries to make both
about the Irish and the Eng
lish, and none of them are
fiattering. He is not too bitter:
rather sentimental about both

His castle is another illusion

abode where no amount of
fireplaces can heat the frigid

Admirable Cast

Drunken Driving
Arrests Increase
Troopers Report. An Increase OF
$50 More This Year

State police made S5 per cent
more arrests for drunken driving
in the first six months of this year
than in the same period last year.
The six-month total was up from
22S in 1856 to 421 this year, accord
ing to a report by 1t. Leo E. Daney,
state police statistician, released
recently by the office of Col. Harry
s. Shew, commander.
The increase in arrests does not
necessarily indicate that there
were more drinking drivers on Del
aware highways this year, Lieu
tenant Daney noted, but it does re-
feet the use of new chemical tests
to determine the amount of alco-
hol in a drivers blood and the
stepped-up efforts of state police
to combat drunken driving.
OF the 421 arrested, he reported
73 per cent were residents of Del
aware and 96.6 per cent were men,
New Castle County accounted for
59.6 per cent of the arrests, Kent
for 1913, and Sussex for 28.1. Acct
dents were involved in 204 per cent
of the cases.

made by state police, not those
