We Change Our Name
It is a matter of deep personal regret that we eliminate
the word “Republican” from the name of your Geauga news
paper. Technically it has been a misnomer for many years
as the Record for a long time has not been under political
control even though its policies have been and will remain
closer to the Republican party than any other.
It is a little known fact in Geauga, where local history is
almost a cult, that the Record was a Republican newspaper
before the Republican party was organized. Set up in 1848,
the newspaper was originally a political newspaper—as most
papers were in those days. It was a “free soil” paper. At
that time there was talk of eliminating the Mason-Dixon line,
the boundary between slavery, and free territory and making
slavery legal throughout the country. The Record is proud
that it was originally organized to fight human slavery. It is
a fight that will continue. “The truth shall make you free”
is the quotation as I remember it and another that is apropos
is “nowledge is power.” our county newspaper should bring
you truth and knowledge about your county.
When the Republican party was organized the Record
immediately pledged allegiance to the new party. The years
after the Civil war entrenched the Republicans in the north,
particularly in small communities where so few good candi
dates were available that single party government was the
most practical.
But Geauga is growing. Our total number of voters has
been increasing as our population has grown—but they have
not all been Republican voters. Last Tuesday, for example,
some four thousand two hundred Geauga citizens cast their
votes for Adlai Stevenson. These people are our friends and
neighbors. We did not agree with them—but the election is
over. Today we need their co-operation in our clubs, our
churches, our schools and all other forms of community life.
We need to sell them our newspaper and there is no advan
tage in flaunting our national political differences in their
faces.
So today we have taken the word “Republican” from the
top of the page. We recognize our first obligation as a news
paper is to the people of Geauga, regardless of race, creed or
political affiliation. As we have done for many years—we
will write the RECORD of, and for Geauga county and con
fine our political opinions to the editorial page where they
belong. John.

Consolidation of the
school district and the
school district has created a
number of problems vital to the
welfare of the children of this
new district. These problems
demand solution.
In the interests of operating
the newly formed West Geauga
school district as efficiently and
fairly as possible within the lim
its of its $150,000 annual budget,
the following proposal is re
spectully submitted.
Under the present organiza
tion, for example, the elemen
tary school cannot buy even the
most commonplace items, such
as electric light bulbs and soap,
without filing a requisition with
the clerk of the Board. It is pos
sible that the cdLt of the paper
work involved sometimes ex
ceeds the cost of the item being
requisitioned.
What is needed is a separate
budget for the elementary school
and the high school. This would
make it possible for this school
to obtain the numerous small
items incidental to its efficient
operation without recourse to
the clerk of the Board.
Equally desirable, in view of
the apparent confusion regard
in gthe routing of the busses, is
a consolidated routing of the
busses rather than the township
system which is presently in ef
fect.
These are simply two of the
problems which indicate the
need for a complete examina
tion of our new school system,
development of which has been
so rapid that it can no lonegr
be administered as a single
school unit.
As parents and taxpayers, we
submit what is needed is an im
partial, professional appraisal of
these operating problems.
Representatives of this group
met with Clyde Hissong, State
Director of Education, on Octo
ber 29th at Columbus, and were
informed that upon request from
our local school board, expert
advice on budget, transportation
planning, and other problems,
was available without charge.
According to Dr. Hissong, this is
one of the primary functions of
the State Department of Educa
tion.

districts is a fact. The commun
ites involved have excellent
cause for their cooperative ef
forts for years to come. We feel
that these recommendations will
go far to promote a mutually
agreeable method of operation.
We are aware that the operat
ing problems of the two newly
consolidated schools are not
simple. However, in September,
1953, a new West Geauga unit is
scheduled to open. This will add
to the administrative burden.
In view of these facts, it would
seem prudent to get our present
house in order. Our objective
is to make our schools as good
as we possibly can and the equal
of those in any surrounding com
munity.
In fairness to the Board, and
for its information, we are send
ing copies of this letter to the
local newspapers, Dr. Clyde His
song and Frank Schofield.

According to Mrs. Hosmer her range is “wonderful for
all kinds of baking. I’m perfectly satisfied with it—never any
trouble of any kind,—and the timer is a wonderful device be
cause I can use it for many things other than cooking. We
really like our range.”

Open Drive
To Sell Nation
DURANT, Okla-This small city
—the southwest’s rabbit capital—
is singing the gospel of "Hop
Chops,” trying to persuade people
to eat more btfnnies. The "Hop
Chop” is the trademarked name of
fryer rabbits, packaged by Brooks
Produce Co., here in a plant capa
ble of processing 40.000 rabbits
weekly.
Bunnie burgers and "Hop Chops”
would come on top of more tradi
tional dishes like fried rabbit, roast
rabbit, savory rabbit, spiced rabbit,
rabbit in tomato sauce, rabbit stew,
rabbit pie, rabbit soup, rabbit hash
and hasenpeffer (marinated rabbit
cooked in pickles and sour cream).
Recipes for these are listed in the
Official Guide of the American Rab
bit and Cavy Breeders Association.
The economic impact of the rab
bit extends beyond the meat busi
ness, of course. Their skins go into
fur coats in huge quantities. Rabbit
fur is standard decoration for many
novelty products for children. The
greatest number of bunny pelts—
some 70 percent—go into felt, prin
cipally for hats. Both rabbits and
their cavy kin (guinea pigs) are
used in medical research.
In All States
Rabbits are raised commercially
in all of the 48 states—most every
big city has a few rabbitries on its
outskirts. And California, which last
year slaughtered some six million
bunnies, is the biggest single pro
ducer, with about one-third of the
nation's annual output.
But the Texas-Oklahoma area Is
coming on fast. Its share of nation
al production has jumped from a
few percent at the end of World
War II to around 15 percent. Cur
rently there are over 3.000 commer
cial breeders in the region, com
pared with fewer than 1,500 a year
ago.
Rabbit production in the area has
approximately tripled in the last
year and is running a cloSe second
to the industry in California.
Indicative of the magnitude of
the boom hereabouts, a life-long
cattleman, owner of four ranches,
will soon add to his stock some 2,000
breeder rabbits.
More Conservative
Old time rabbit men—the hop
pers have been grown commercial
ly in this country since the 1890’s
—are a little more conservative.
There are a few around who re
member personally "the great Bel
gian hare boom” of the turn of the
century, when breeding stock ani
mals brought as much as $1,000
each before a shattering collapse.
But by and large the veterans of
the business are pretty sanguine,
too.
There's no great mystery why, ac
cording to George L. Seaman, presi
dent of the Texoma breeders group
and creator of the bunnie burger,
who have been a rabbit man for five
years.

over the newspaper in 1945. But
Stoddard says no one has become

Stoddard loves his town. He

$80,000 community center, three
miles of town-built dikes along the
Cowanesque river, and the sweetest

Elkland’s progress. To get results,
he names names and needles where
it hurts.

Corey Hospital is a corresponding member of the
Cleveland Hospital Council and is also a member of
the Blue Cross Organization which in northeastern
Ohio is the Cleveland Hospital Service Association.
Our hospital joins twenty-four northeastern Ohio
hospitals who have agreed to service applications
from patients in their hospitals who desire to have
Blue Cross protection.
While the interest in hospitalization insurance is
very gratifying, we, like all other hospitals, can only
service applications from people who are patients in
our hospital. Our hospital, liek all other hospitals in
the Cleveland Hospital Service Association, is incor
porated not for profit, and there is no profit. Our
business is to conduct a hospital for the care of the
sick and newborn.
