Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1958-05-08

Geauga County, which has
voted consistently Republican
since 1860 when the Republican
Party was first formed, is be-
ginning to lean strongly in the
direction of the Democratic Par
ty.
The trend, which first became
noticeable in 1856 when Louis A.
Robusky, Democrat, was elect
ed sheriff, became even more
pronounced when Geauga Dem
ocratS registered their largest
number of voters - 1548 - in
Tuesdays primary.
John Reithoffer of Auburn,
Geauga Democratic Party
chairman and key democrat on
the board of elections, predicted
the Democrats would do even
better in the county in Novem-
Der, when we have a race on
our hands" There were no To-
cal Democratic contests Tues
day.
Reithoffer, who is not a man
to take his politics lightly re-
ported the largest number of De-
mocratic voters in Geauga'S his
tory Tuesday, and this in one
of the smallest primary elec-
tionS in years.
OF the 1883 persons casting
votes in Geauga this week, 1869
were republicans and 1548 dem
ocrats. The Democrats showed
an increase of about 400 voters
over the spring primary of 1856,
in which 5000 GeaugsnS voted.
The Republican vote was down
about 1000 from May, 1856.
In this surge of Democratic
voting, the party gained six
more of Geauga's 81 precincts.
Democrats held only two -
Montville and Troy - before
Tuesdays election.
Precincts going Democratic
this week are: Auburn B, 30 to
81; Hambden, so to 48; Aquilla,
AZ to 20; Newbury B, IS to 40;
cambridge D, SO to SO; and
cambridge, A, 113 to 100.
Three other precincts, on the
verge of gaining a majority of
democratic voters, remained
Republican. They are: Hunts
burg, 50 to 81; Thompson, IS to
SO; Newbury A, II to 80.
Reithoffer gave credit to Ge-
auga's increasing population,
Democratic Sheriff RobuSky, the
national recession and a lively
governors race as contributing

THE P A S 7
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

On a hot summer afternoon in
an American town there is per-
vading atmosphere of peace. In the
stores clerks languidly for an oc-
casional customer, while others for
tunate enough to be at leisure re-
lax in various ways. Dinner over
and the dishes washed, the house
wife maps or rocks on the porch.
The more energetic flock to the
beach or whatever recreational ia
cility the town provides, and little
children play cheerfully in the
dust.
1t is hard to grasp the idea that
this serenity does not extend over
all the world-that somewhere men
are plotting and killing. That
housewife is not, perhaps, as Sc
rene as she looks; for her son
may be among the Marines who
landed in Lebanon, and her heart
is crying out, "Why can't the world
be as peaceful as it looks here
today? What is it all about?"
The cry is nothing new. An
Egyptian mother with son in
Pharoah's army and the Roman
matron whose son was with Cae-
sar's legions probably felt the same
bewilderment and confusion. Man
kind, with all of his advances in
civilization, has not found way
to settle his problems without
| fighting.
To the average American the
present situation is more than con-
fusing. A few years ago we felt
secure in the knowledge that our
country was the most powerful in
the world and that no country
would dare to test that power.
Gradually we began to realize that
Russia was challenging that power,
but we still had faith in our might
and the U. N. and felt the rest of
the world still loved-or feared US.
Then one fine day a group of
South Americans dared to insult
and even offer bodily harm to our
Vice-president and his wife. Swift
ly on the heels of that came the
audacious kidnapping of American
businessmen and servicemen by
Cuban rebels. Those things hap
pened close at hand; yet our gov
ernment, to avoid the appearance
of "imperialistic aggression" re-
lied upon diplomacy rather than
force.
The rushing Of troops to Leba-
non, then, without first appealing
to the U. N. seems all the more
confusing. We can only trust and
pray that our leaders have made
the right decision. Few of us would
plead "peace at any price," and
few are afraid from merely per-
sonal point of view. We might well
be afraid, however, for the future
of our country and all the peoples
of the world; and perhaps it is
of the world; and perhaps it is on
ly the bold move, little understood
at the time, that will save our
country's economic and political
future and assure freedom to fu-
ture generations.
AS l write, a darkening sky and
rumbles Of thunder seem symbolic.
If the storm is not too severe, it
will bring relief to the parched
ground and from the oppressive
heat. Perhaps this world storm
will also pass and mankind can
breathe easily again, free from
fear.

Some interesting chores came to light. Men,
some shamefaced, others defiant, admitted
they worked at such chores as:
typist for wife who edits PTA bulletin
. treasurer for wife's weekly canasta game
. Sunday breakfast cook
. once-a-month cookie baker
. chauffeur for kids in wife's dancing class
Apartment jewellers made an Unexpectedly
strong showing. If they fell down in outside
work and inside construction, they racked up
impressive hours in child care, some handy
man and general around-the-house tasks.
