For the latter, each grade made
pictures, from which students

fire fighting, but without the fire.

The exhibit was most impressive
nevertheless. Everybody went

Clyde Pomeroy Takes over Post of County Engineer

Clyde Pomeroy of Chardon this
week took over the post of
county engineer. Unusual feat
ure of his election was that he
never filed for office and did
no campaigning. He was elected
by a write-in vote of 1888 votes
on the Republican ticket.
Frank Zethmayr, engineer for
Seceral terms, wishing to retire,
did not file for reelection. In
fact, nobody filed, which left a
blank on the ballot for that
office.
AT the primaries, Pomeroy's
name was written on both Re-
publican and Democratic tickets.
Although there was a large
Write-in, there it was not enough.
Also the fact that his name was
on both tickets further nullified
his chances.
Pomeroy did not file for the
election.
Mr.. Pomeroy comes from pio-
neer Geauga County stock. He
was born on April Is, 1908, in
Chardon, the son of DR.. and
Mrs. Frank S. Pomeroy. His
father was one of the most be-
loved citizens in the county.
He practiced medicine over so
years in the days when calls
had to be made over many
miles into the country with
horse and buggy.
Graduating from Chardon
High School, Mr. Pomeroy at
tended Washington Lee Un-
| iversity four years. Leaving col
lege he worked at surveying for
Mr.. zethmayr, then a private
engineer.
Mr.. Pomeroy then served the
State Highway Dept. as an eng
ineer in 1888 for year and
half, subsequently going to the
Geauga Highway Dept.
From 1899 to 1855 he worked
in the court house for County
engineers, E.A. Fielder, &C.
Graber, Frank Zethmayr. In
1855 he formed partnership
for surveying work with Ted
Root, now operating as Root
and Pomeroy, 103 South St., near
public square.
Mr.. Pomeroy is Chardon vii
lage engineer.
Mr.. and Mrs. Poneroy live
at 210 S. Hambden st. They
have two daughters, Diane, Is,
and Ann, 7.

Especial to the Record)

NEW YORK A new survey
OF retail business activity In
Geauga County carried through
the first half Of last year, re-
veals increased earnings and
freer spending on the part OF
the public.
The mid-year report, produced
by the Standard Rate and Data
Service, shows population, in
come and spending for every
part of the country. It is based
on data gathered from Federal
and State bureaus and from
other sources.
Despite some soft spots, bus
mess locally has been good, it
shows, even surprising that of
the previous year in some fields.
The survey, covering the II
months ending June 80, 1856,
shows that Geauga County re-
tail merchants did a gross vol
ume of SGT ,899 900 in the period
1t exceeds the $25, 1892 900 mark
set by them in the 1855 calen-
dar year.
The strongest support for the
big spending rate was the rec
ord amount of income and the
high employment prevailing.
Farmers have been an excep-
ton but their lot seems to be
improving. Pople in general
have looSened their purse strings

in full confidence that the good
conditions win not only contin-
ne but win even grow better.
In Geauga County, for its es-
timated $3.50 families, net In
come after taxes reached the
impressive figure of $55, ,2O3, 600
IN the 12-month period, the
SRDS survey shows. This was
a gain over the $54, ,058, 900 in
1855.
Divided by the number of
families, it amounted to $5,842
per family in disposable income.
That was more than the S.
672 that families averaged in
the United States.
1t went into bigger purchas-
ing in the local stores, with
people spending more for food,
merchandise and services.
While the boom has slackened
from its rapid pace, the advance
still goes on. Even though hous-
ing, auto production and agric-
ulture have not shared in the
buoyancy, the slack has been
absorbed by growth in other
lines.
Public confidence in the fut-
ure is mistaken. People seem
to feel that, yes, there may be
some minor setbackS, but that
the Government will throw in
its weight, when needed, to ease
such joltS and set the train
back on its tracks.

Heart Disease Causes
Less Deaths in Geauga

some 37.8 percent of the mort
ality is chared to heart di-
seaSe. In the East North Cen
tral States it is 38.5 percent.
Across the country, great diff
ferences are noted in the raw
ages of the diseases, which
poses a greater threat to life
than do cancer and all accid-
ents combined. New Mexico,
Arkansas and Kentucky suffer
least from it. Their heart rate
is about half that of New York,
Rhode Island and Washington,
D. C.
Why? No one knows. The
Public Health Service lists
these possibilities: differences
in diet, exercise, stress, hered-
itary factors and differences in
the physical characteristic of
the population.
To account for the fact that
heart disease takes more lives
in the Middle Atlantic States
than in other areas, a large
school of thought points to fats
in the diet as the culprit. Stud
les have shown that where the
intake of animal fats is high,
heart disease is high.
Others feel that the greater
strain, tension and hustle in the
East is the answer.
Much more research must be
done before the picture can b
clarified.
For residents of Geauga
County, the latest Federal fig
ures on mortality, issued recent
ly for 1854, show a total of
254 deaths from all causes, with
"a OF them due to heart dis
ease.

Dance to
Buy Police
New Camera

Chardon Junior Chamber of
Commerce will donate all pro-
ceedS of the Policemen's ball
on Saturday, Jan. IL, at the
Chardon high school auditorium
to the police equipment fund,
Franklyn Allen, president, an
nounced today.
Police Chief John Boil stated
that the money will be used to
purchase a camera to photo
graph latent fingerprintS, and
the accessories for the camera.
Money was not available through
regular channels for this type
of equipment at this time. Due
to the increase in population and
crime in this area it was felt
that the camera is a necessity.
JayCeeS and the Chardon police
are cooperating in the interest
of community welfare to raise
the money by sponsoring the
dance.
"This camera will be used in
burglary, auto theft, and SIM
liar cases where fingerprints are
found" Chief Boil said. "A
picture of the print is taken,
developed, and compared with
prints in our files, and the files
of other law enforcement agen-
cies. In the past, we have had
to take the object with the
fingerprints to either the State
Highway Patrol station in War
rem or to the Cleveland police
in order to have the picture
taken. With our own camera,
we can process the prints fast
er, and there will be consider
able savings in manpower and
mileage. We can also make a
more complete investigation. Be-
fore, We were unable to get
prints from large, untransport-
able objects and buildings, but
in the future we will be able
to do So"
