Especial to the RecOrd)

NEW YORK, July q Re-
ceSSion or no recession, 1860
turned out to be a good buSi-
ness year in Geauga County.
A great deal of money was
spent in the county for food,
clothing, automotive equip
ment, drugs and general
household necessities even
though consumer buying was
more restrained than usual.
Locally, this attitude of eau
ton induced by business con-
ditionS that affected all areas,
caused fewer cutbackS in sp.
ending plans than it did in
most communities.
The facts are brought out
in the annual survey of mar
ketS, made by the Standard
Rate and Data Service to de-
terine how the consumer
spent his retail dollar last
year and for what. 1t covers
all parts of the United States.
In Geauga County, it shows
the largest outlayS were for
food. Sales in the local meat
markets, grocery stores, bak-
cries, delicatesseIs and the
like added up to SO, ,449, 900,
compared with the previous
years total of 1908, 900. 1t
was equivalent to 80 cents of
every dollar spent at retail.
That was only for food
bought for home consump-
ton. In addition, there was
the money spent in restaur-

RedCross Seeks Drivers
for Blood Emergencies

The idea for a Motor Ser
vice team to help in blood
deliveries came about after
a meeting of the heads Of the
seven hospitals in Lake, Gea-
uga and AStabula at which
time blood pooling was dis
cuSSed.
All present were in agree
ment that going to Cleveland
in emergenciS was time con-
suming. The local Red Cross,
therefore, was asked to make
the blood deliveriS and pick
ups Of the precious blood.
Here is how the plan will
actually work. If a hospital
in Lake County is out of a
certain blood type, and sever
al pintS are available at a
Geauga County hospital, a
driver will be dispatched fr-
ON both Red Cross centerS
one with the blood, one to
pick it up. They will meet
half way at a predetermined
point, where the blood will
change hands.
Mrs. Hatch is confident the
necessary volunteers will re-
spond. Those who are inter-
eSted and can give a few
hours to a life-Saving course
are asked to call her at the
Geauga Red Cross Office, AV
5-4911, between $3.50 am. and
5 pm.

The Geauga County Red
Cross office has an urgent
need for Motor Service driv-
erS men or women to help
deliver or pick up blood from
nearby hospitals in grave
emergencies. This appeal
was made yesterday by Mrs.
Louise Hatch, administrative
assistant for the Geauga Red
Cross.
Under this new plan of
blood pooling, the Red Cross
will cooperate with hospitals
in Lake, Geauga and ASta-
bula counties in getting rare
blood types to requesting hos
pitalS in emergency periods.
Said Mrs. Hatch: 1T used
to be we had to go all the
way to Cleveland when blood
of a certain type was needed
in an emergency now, if we
can get the necessary driv-
erS, We will met the hoSpit-
ais half way with deliveries
or pick-upS of blood.
by making better use of
the blood at our hospitals,
We'll be more self sufficient,
and by using up the nearly
outdated blood first, we'll
help the Northern Ohio Bood
Program maintain a proper
inventory at all times"
Mrs. Hatch said that if the
three or more drivers could
be obtained, the Geauga Red
Cross blood program will be
able to provide round-the-
clock blood delivery service.
She said volunteers would
be asked to drive thier own
vehicles but would need no
uniform.
Many of the assignments
will be in the evening and at
night, but if the necessary
number Of volunteers can be
obtaind, these would be CIV
en- on a rotating basis"

David had found out quickly and
instinctively that the true social and
political ePicenter of Moreton was the
dining room and bar of Browns Hotel.
''Yee-ah, honey, I'll be home" he
would tell Jean on the Office phone;
he was working toward the true Yam
kee eye-yah for yes, but was still too
shy to pronounce it fully. 'I'll be
home tonight, but don't bother fixing
dinner for me. III just catch bite
with the boys at Browns"
The boys at Browns were Ted
Castrop, publisher of the ''Moreton
Archive," Phil Bennington of the
plumbing Benningtons, Mel Bartram
of the hardware Bartrams, Ray Oliver,
the town loafer, and few others.
''Roots-wise, they're real people,
David explained to Jean. by golly,
some of the yarns they spin! And
you know what? Phil Bennington's
putting me up for the Nonpareil."
For the which," Jean asked.
Just the third Oldest volunteer
fire company in the United States,
that's ALL" David said proudly.
''You mean all those people who
have an annual dance and look like
a TV audience only in uniform?"
Jean said. Honestly, Dave!'
She took her scolding for snobbism
like the good sport Dave had married
her for, and joined the Women's

before settling on "Hartsholm." 1t
was unexciting, but it had the sim
plicity and identity desirable for
place where a man and his family
were putting down roots. David Hart
was already just mite tired of hear
ing hardware dealers, fuel-oil sales
men, grocery clerks, doctors, bankers
and lawyers refer to his estate as the
Old Stebbins Place.
'Eye-yah, you the fella bought the
Old Stebbins Place" II was like a
refrain from singing commercial
that wouldn't leave a man alone.
Admirable in singing commercial,
but not when used to mislabel ones
own home. After all, there were
$4,000 in cash and mortgage at the
Moreton National Bank attesting the
fact that the six and a half acres
bounded by the Conniteague River,
Tipple Mine Road, the Erwin Kimble
farm and Kinsolving Ridge were now
the legal property of David Hart.
NJ course, any kind of instant
~ acceptance would be denial of
the very ancient New England tempo
into which David Hart wished to sink
his roots, so David drew a careful
checkrein on himself and on his tenn
per. The only way to beat these folks
at their own game was to learn how
they played it, not to try to impose
your own urban rules on their rich
cultural pattern.
The Harts had been settled in More
ton for three weeks when David had
to veto jeans ambition to join the
Conniteague Community Center.

after Browns Hotel were Jilker's
Pharmacy for coffee Saturday morn
ings and the Conniteague General
Store, proprietor Doug Swansea, at
least once a day when he was home.
And he was home often. The sur
prising thing was that his work as
Vice President and Creative Director
at MOD didn't suffer bit. 1t actually
improved. Trade papers took notice
of the new vitality of MDD copy
which had come more and more to be
written in accents of authentic Ameri-
cana. David insisted that their cos
metic client label his new nail polish
Ethan Allen Red and got away with
it to the tune of sales figures that
amazed the industry.
"Nhe only thing was that, as far as
- MoretOn was concerned, as far
even as his friends in the fire COM

ions at Browns were concerned, David
Hart lived at the Old Stebbins Place
still. A year in Moreton, and ''Harts-
HOLM was a meaningless scraWl on
mailbox. David Hart took stock and
acted.
First, he hired Clifford Alternately
Mortmain, the leading local architect,
to redesign the FACADE and add a
whole new wing to the house. David
and Jean and Linda didn't really need
the extra space, but something drastic
in the way of reidenti6catiOn was
indicated. The revision changed
''Hartsholm" beyond recognition, was
photographed for two architectural
and one general housing magazine
and won Predictably the ''Moreton
Archive" notice: ''Face-lifting at Old
Stebbins Place - Venerable Conni-
league Landmark Gets New Look"
David's second action was more
successful. He wisely refrained from
becoming himself member Of the
revived Moreton Chamber of Com
merce, but he saw to it that his influ-
ence was felt. A hint dropped here
and there, at Browns, at Jilker's, at
the Conniteague General Store, bur-
peoned to DrOduce the Moreton Cham
