Look out for counterfeit
money in Geauga County!
A large counterfeit ring op

Two bogus bills were passed
at Pure Oil Station, Rt. 322
and Caves Road, Chester
Saturday.
Serial numbers of the bills
are the same, N-55385603-A.
The bills are an eighth to a
fourth inch shorter than gen
uine ones, it was reported.
Ink on the back is dark, the
crease of over $53 million in
second class rates that is
scheduled will add a heavy
burden to many of them, they
contend.
Third class mail, which
covers bulk mailings, is in for
a $161 million boost, much
more than the administration
asked for. There will be no
rise in fourth class.
In urging the revision in
mail rates, the government
held that the postal service is
a business and should be op

Democrats Fight
for Party Control
Democrats in the May primary in Geauga will slug
it out with ballots to decide who controls the Democra
tic party in Geauga county.
Controls of the party at the moment appears to be
a matter of argument. John Strava of Thompson, was
recently voted out as head of the party by the execu
tive committee and Reithofer voted in. But Strava’s
supporters, claim the vote was illegal and he is still the
boss.
Patronage and policy seem to le the dispute. Reith
ofer broke with Democratic sheriff Louis Robusky be
cause Robusky refused to take his advice on the ap
pointment of deputies. Robusky won the election and
Reithofer was defeated as local committeeman.
Robusky sits tight as sheriff (his tei-rn hasn’t ex
pired yet). But both Strava and Reithofer face con
tests in their own precincts for committeemen.
While Republican committeemen face no contests,
the Democrats indicate a contest in almost every pre
cinct in the county.
The complete list of candidates for the primary
election is as follows:
Republicans
Democrats
For representative. Robert
R. Wantz. Chester, construc

Marshall law school Milferd
C. Hanson, teacher industrial
arts at West Geauga High
