All spoke briefly in support of the theme of the meeting. This was followd by qitestions from the audi ence. Questions indicated strong objections to the $200.00 ad placed in a Cleveland paper by this committee. It appar ently was felt that it was in advisable for a small minority to use the title “Western Ge auga” as if they were repre sentatives of the entire com munity. Mrs. Hilda Kiebler was one of those who asked a specific question on this. Mrs. Forrest Bond asked whether Chester was to be an experimental area like Lud low, a pilot project in integ grated housing near- Shaker Square. No definite replies were re ceived to these questions. However the following day Rev. Judson Townley when asked this same question Mrs. Bond asked, replied “No that was not their intention.” Judging by audinece re sonse to the questions and re plies, the majority of those at tending the meeting do not plan to join the Western Ge auga and Chagrin Committee for Democracy in Housing. rlolstein Breeders to Banquet on May 16 Geauga County Holstein lub will have their 54th an ual banquet Wednesday lay 16, at the Auburn Com mnity church in the social oom.
