The items were the first writ
ten for the Republican by Len
nah Battles Bond.
Today the Geauga Record,
successor to the Republican, is
in its 109th year. On Page 8 of

ter.

Babcock Marks IS Years
as Auto Dealer Here

Junction Auto Sales, Inc, re-
ceived a twenty-five year plaque
from the Dodge-Plymouth Di-
vision of Chrysler Corporation
this week.
Junction Auto Sales, Inc, had
it's beginning in 1882 as a part
nerShip with T. C. Spencer and
Son-in-law, C.. C.. Babcock on
Mayfield road and Route A in
a super service station building.
A Dodge-Plymouth franchise
was obtained and ChriSty kim
was sales and service manager
with Forest Wise as mechanic.
The first expansion came in
1886 when a new addition to the
east gave more needed service
space.
After his discharge from the
Air Corps and graduation from
Hiram College in 1949, Warren
Babcock became affiliated with
the agency. This allowed his
grandfather, Mr.. Spencer to
gradually give up active par
ticipation until in 1854 he retired
from the business.
In 1854, the third expansion
program was completed, which
consisted of 7640 So. #. of mo-
dern block building with the la
test equipment. The new build
ing is used entirely for Servic-
ing automobiles. This allowed
the existing building to be re-
modelled into expanded show
room, offices, parts department
and paint and body shop.
The officers of Junction Auto
Sales, Inc, consist of C.. C.. Bah
cock, president; Warren S. Bah
cock, vice president; Janet S.
Babcock, (now Mrs. Dan r.
Hess, secretary-treasurer. The
agency personnel consists of Ro-
bert Walsh, sales manager, Dick
Hensel, Lee Craig, statesmen,
Sidney Sweet, parts manager,
Mrs. Elizabeth Rayl and Mrs.
Donna Brediger, office person

les and two porters.

Is in effect today.

Board OKs
Plan for
School

Chardon Board of Education
Tuesday night authorized its ar
chitect, Arthur F. SidellS OF
Warren, to proceed with plans
to construct an elementary
school with a central heating
plant and rest rooms.
Board members will not know
exactly how much school they
can buy with the $218 600 bond
issue voters approved last month
for elementary construction on
Maple Ave. until bids are receiv-
ed.
However SidellS and County
Superintendent Frank Schofield
indicated that, with the funds a.
vailable, the rapidly expanding
Chardon school district will pro-
badly have to settle for six class
rooms instead of the hoped for
eight in its next elementary
building.
Adoption of the centralized u
tilities plan defeated an alter
nate proposal which would have
provided one heating unit and
small rest romS for each two
claSSroomS.
The architect said additions
to the building could be made at
less cost if a centralized heat
ing system is installed which
could be expanded later to heat
added classroomS.
SidellS said the new building
would be ready for occupancy
no sooner than November 1858,
and set January 1859 as a pro-
bable completion date.
In other action Tuesday night
the board informally approved a
request made by Lloyd Carlson,
representing the Festival Board,
for permission to use dead wood
on the school property. He said
a sugar bush operating in Char
don park is planned for next
years festival, and a committee
is looking for wood for fuel.
The board approved a request
by Chief of Police John Boil to
set up a pistol range in the
small building on the former
booster property, provided that
it is not in conflict with provi-
sions in the schools insurance
policies. The chief said Carl
Hummel, Lloyd Carlson, Wal
ter Best and Herbert Van Cor
der have agreed to act as in
structors in the police-sponsored
project.
Betty j. Janu was hired as
teaching aid to Mrs. Graves in
the first grade until she receiv-
es her teaching certificate. Mrs.
Janu completed her practice
teaching in the Chardon system
recently. but has not yet receiv-
ed certification.
The board appropriated funds

three months in jail, the sheriff
said.
"I waited two weeks for the

day he had not been charged
with the criminal offenSe of
adultery. Adultery is a misde-
meanor.

to the Sheriff's department to
receive the warrant.
A $500 bond set by RobuSky
was continued by Justice Rus
