Young Couples
Will Meet
in Burton
The first meeting of the
Young Couples School will be
held on January 5 at 8:00 p.m
in the Old School Bldg. at
Burton. This is the first of a
series of meetings "designed to
help married couples make a
better start in farming.
Getting started in farming
today is a little more difficult
than it was for our fathers
and grandfathers, but the road
is much the same: Inherit one,
marry the girl who has one
or just work and save and
climb the agricultural ladder
to ownership. The biggrst step
on the ladder now appears to
be from the wage earner rung
to a satisfactory tenant status.
Farm wages have increased, but
so have farm equipment, fertil
izer, seed and livestock prices.
Credit is becoming of iri
creasing importance in acquir
ing a farm business and is the
subject of the first meeting.
The series of meetings and
meeting dates are found below,
the public is invited.
January 5 Long Term
Rotation Loans, County Bankers.
January 12 Home Account
Summarys Thelma Beall.
January 19 A Short Farm
and Home Plan Robert
Schwartz.
January 36 Shortages on
the Farm and in the Home.
February 2 Principles and
Applications of Principles of
Nutrition to Humans and Ani
mals Dr. O. Q. Bentlev,
Dan McGrew.
We hope that you will make
a special effort to attend these
meeting!. Like all business men
the farmer buys and sells, and
a few cents gained here and
there on what he buys and
sells makes the difference be
tween success or failure. Let's
start playing with the sheet
instead of playing by ear.

expects to have its workers at
Chardon on next Monday to
remove the present qrgan, pre
paratory to placing tho new
one in the church Sanctuary
in the next few weeks.
The canvass for funds for

hear the present qrgan. It is
hoped that a goodly number
will be present for this last
service. The morning worship

of local school boards appoint
ed to fill vacancies must have
their names placed on the ballot
as candidates for the unexpired
term.
When the state legislature tri
ed to rewrite the election laws
the last term, they wrote into
the law that appointees to school
boards serve until the next gen
eral election for that office.
Thus a school board member ap
pointed after September 7, 1951,
to serve in a term expiring De^
ctmber 31, 1953, will have to be
a candidate for that oflice to fill
the interim of November 3rd to
December 31, 1953, and if he or
she wishes to continue for the
next full term, the name would
appear on the ballot twice and
two petitions must be filed with
the election board.
On November 3 local stibdivie*
ions will elect village officers,
two township trustees and ap
proximately half of the school
board members.
Nominating petitions of all
local candidates will re-
quire a varying number of sig
natures, depending whether they
are running as independents or
as party candidates, reports Mrs.
VanGorder.
Chardon village is the only
subdivision in the county with a
population large enough to war
rant holding a May primary, but
if no more than one person from
each party files for one office
there will be no need for the
primary.
"Anyone wishing to file for a
Geauga office may obtain a pe
tition from me at any time after
the first of the year," stated
the clerk.
