To Extend Geauga School Year
One Way or Another Schofield

a part of this. The cooperation of
three school districts will be
needed to use their buildings for
a summer school program.
Mr.. Schofield stated that our
schools are being severely crit
icized for not doing enought for
the superior child. We are do
ing a little for the retarded and
handicapped children. Among
reasons why the superior child
has been neglected, schools
don't have full know-how on how
to educate him; superior teach
erS would be required; and the
school systems are too small to
organize such groups for special
claSe for them.
The trend in Ohio is to create
one school district per county.
This would put it on a county
basis and the whole eXpenditur-
eS would be Jumped together to
make a more equal taxing of
citizens. Mr.. Schofield stated
that since state aid will be cut
off for Claridon School Dec. 81,
1859, that we should be trying
to solve the problem by deciding
which neighboring school we
should join.
Other pointe mentioned were
that Geauga County has seen
much Improvement in reading,
but more emphasis should be
put on spellingand more legi-
BILE writing. Aptitude testing is
going on throughout the county.
but so far We do not have e.
nough teachers.
DR.. EdmundS, Geauga County
Health Commissioner, was pre-
sent at this meeting, and an
nounced that he and his staff
would go to each school during
June, July and August to give
free innoculations to pre-School
to school age children. He will
give polio and triple" shots,
and aso smallpox vaccinations
at the same time. Dates for
Claridon are June 10, July 8 and
August 5. This service is free.
DR.. Edmunds urgently re-
quests that all children who
have not been innoculated
should be brought in on these
days. He also announced that
measles vaccine will soon be a.
vailable for schools.
Mr.. Don Trask, president, re-
ported that construction of the
Bell Memoria! will be delayed
until after school Is out. This
construction will take about
one week, and will be accomp-
lished within thr first two
weeks of June.
Mr.. Charles Boehnlein re-
ported on the County Council
PTA meeting at Middlefield
three weeks ago at which it was
announced that Miss Lawson,
Thompson student, won the
PTA scholarship.
Installation ceremony for our
new PTA officers was conducted
at this meeting by Mrs. Richard
Turner, Ways and Means Chair
man.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. Margaret Alden and Mrs.

400 Urge
Subdivision
Regulation

The Geauga Couny Planning
County Board of Heath met in
joint meeting at the Court
House last week to discuss the
proposed subdivision regula-
tions now under consideration by
the Planning Board.
The Geauga County Board of

Board every support in securing

otion. The etitionS have been
signed by voters in practically
every township in the County
and the majority recommend a
minimum frontage of 200 feet
and a minimum lot size of 1k
acres where there is no public
water or sewage facilities.
The petitions also urge that
adequate sewage facilities be
profided and that limited access
be required to all major high
ways. The petitions request
that the Palnning Commission
adopt "any other regulation cal
culated to promote orderly de-
velopment of land use".
In addition to the nineteen pc
titionS which were signed by
some 400 residents, the Palnning
Commission also received a re-
solution from the League of Wo-
men Voters Of Geauga County
which urges lot size be eStab-
liShed to insure adequate health

The League also urges "any
tion of the county water supply
otherregulationS calculated to
promote the orderly develop
ment of land use in our county"
Receipt of the petitions indi-
Gates a wide spread interest in
the adoption of adequate sub
division regulations for the
County.
