              News VOL. XLU. NO. 39 TEN PACES AMHERST, OHIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1960 THE SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WORLD Shupe School Gets Neiv 50-Star Flag Rubbish Pick-up Set Amherst annual fall clean-up and rubbish collection has been scheduled . for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, October 17, 18, and 19. Hugh McGarvey, street superintendent, announced this week that further details, will be given in next week's issue of the News-Times. Council Considers Rental Plan for Amherst The 11 IMES Fifth Grade students, Tim Wil-helm and Eddie Kobal, help with the raising of the new fifty-star flag recently presented to Shupe School by the American Legion Post 118. Watching the procedure is school principal Earl Miller and Legionnaire Bob Fuhrman. This was one of 87 new flags purchased jointly by the Legion and its Auxiliary as gifts to the Amherst schools. In addition to the outside flag, Shupe school received ten classroom flags. Also receiving ten was St. Joseph's school, with 20 each going to Powers Elementary and Steele High School, and 26 to Central.All classrooms in the entire district are now equipped with an A-merican flag. Amherst-Huron, Both Undefeated Tangle Fri., Night By a quirk in the Lakeland Conference schedule, the two only undefeated teams head for a showdown in the third week of play. Amherst, victors over Vermilion and Margaretta, travels to Huron Friday nite to take on the Tigers who have defeated Wellington and New London. Kickoff is at 9 p.m. Amherst time due to the difference in time. Such an early meeting gives little chance to compare the relative strength of the two teams. Huron has dropped one independent contest, losing to Norwalk 20 to 8. However they downed Oberlin 28 to 6. In the other league game, Wellington and Vermilion will be trying to break into the victory column. The Dukes have lost to Huron and Clearview while the Sailors bowed to the Comets. The game will be at Vermilion. The South Amherst Cavaliers, still seeking their first victory, will be at Columbia while the Firelands Falcons, also winless, will be at Keystone. Other Lakeland Conference schools will engage in independent activity. Avon Lake, an Amherst foe later in the season, Srill be at Clearview, New London will entertain - Frederick-town, and Margaretta will travel to Lakeside. A large delegation is expected to follow the Comets in search of their fifth straight victory. There is no Armstrong, or Doyle, or other single individual standout on the Huron team this year. But Coach Paul Greene feels that his Tiger squad has much better balance than the last two years when they finished in 2nd place. Huron has 15 lettermen back, headed by senior quarter back Ray Majoy, whose passing has been a big factor in the Tiger wins this season. Five other backfield men won letters last year, as well as two ends, two tackles, three guards and two centers. Tackles Ray Swanbeck and Bob Barnes weigh in at 200 pounds. Fullback Jay Pressler carries 175 pounds but last week ran 80 yards for a touchdown against New London. With the second and third string men seeing considerable action last Friday, the Comets came out of the Margaretta game without any injuries and the 6ame starting lineup will be ready for Huron. 14 Study Groups Complete Survey For October Meeting Fourteen State House Conference study groups in the Amherst school district have been meeting with their chairmen and are nearing completion of the first phase of study, "What Do We Want From Our Schools?"

Adult Education Classes Begin, Registration Light Adult education classes began this week, with 191pre-registra-tions recorded, according to John Hurley,' director. More are expected to register this week at the first session, he said. Although more courses were offered this fall than last winter, registration was light, with the result that many will have to be cancelled unless enrollment is brought up to the minimum. The lack of interest was attributed to the time of year, with many outside activities still offered. Full classes were reported for only one course Beginners Bridge Extended, and sufficient interest shown to warrant setting up another class in beginners bridge for Thursday evenings, from 7:30 to 9:30 pjn. Mrs. Ruth Amon will also teach this class. Courses which are reasonably assured of being given include driver education on Mondays; cake decorating, furniture re-finishing, interior decorating, Russian, sewing, slimnastics for women, and Typing I, on Tuesdays; and ballroom dancing on Thursdays.

Sutton, Howard Baker, Richard Banker, Steve Jama, Milton Hal-loran, and Dr. Miller Crausaz. Grob accompanied them on the guitar. Another feature which was started this month was a brief interlude of music at the beginning of the meeting, as members assembled. Mrs. George Ullman was pianist for Monday's meeting.' ew Police Cruiser Lease, instead of purchase, of a new car to be used as a police cruiser was considered by Amherst council this week. First presented by Acting Chief Art Koppenhafer, the plan of leasing has the blessing of members of council's police committee, Phil Jaeger, Robert Stevens, and Dwight Standen. Koppenhafer reported that Vermilion now leases two cruisers, instead of owning them, and has found the plan satisfactory. He also presented council with figures on operating costs of the present cruiser for the first 50,000 miles. Accrding to Koppenhafer, a new car can be leased from Milad, Inc., for approximately $220 a month, this amount to include all upkeep, repairs, oil changes and lubrication. Only cost to the village would be gasoline used and any oil between changes. Operating costs of the present cruiser ran between $700 and $800 for the first 50,000 miles, Koppenhafer said, which he thought would make a lease plan and an outright purchase run approximately the same in cost over a year's time. Council and the mayor questioned the figures, stating that it appeared the leasing would be more expensive. It was also pointed out that under a lease plan, should the city decide to purchase later, there would be no car to trade in. The matter was referred back to the committee for further study of the costs. Steps outlined Howard Saddler, acting solicitor, outlied for council and visitors the steps necessary in going ahead with sanitary sewers on Leavitt and Foster Park. Statutes require that the following procedure be followed: Engineer's plans shall be drawn ' of the sewer district, designated by council as to area, name and number, such plans to show location, inclination and depth of all main sewers and branches; council shall subsequently give 10 days notice to the public that plans are on file in the clerks office for inspection; after opportunity for public objections and any necessary amendments, council shall certify the final plans to the clerk and order the engineers to estimate total costs of the plans; If deemed necessary to proceed with the work, council shall by resolution declare the necessity by a three-fourths majority and then shall serve notice of the resolution to the owner of each piece of prop- El. PTA to Meet Mon. at Shupe School Mr. Hartley of Halle Bros. Co., Cleveland, will be the guest speaker at next Monday night's meeting of the Elementary PTA. A humorous speaker, he will use as his topic "The Customer Is Always Right." The meeting will be held at, 7:30 in the new Shupe school.

Saddler pointed out that some parts of the procedure had been taken care of, but that no 10-day notice had yet been formally given. After such formal notice, he said, council can then proceed with the other steps in order. Application presented An application ror the position of solicitor was presented to council by Frank J. Janik, Jr., North Main street. He told council that he had been an attorney for six years and, although he had no experience as a solicitor, he was confident he was qualified for the position. He said that although he thought Saddler had done a good job as acting solicitor, he felt that the solicitor should be a resident of the community. He also pointed out that Saddler is an assistant for the state attorney general and he questioned the compatibility of the two positions. Saddler, who has been serving as acting solicitor, also had presented an ordinance providing for his being made permanent solicitor. However, he asked the clerk not to read the legislation at this time. He said that he had been assured by the attorney general's office that the two positions were not incompatible, Girl Scouts Join "Dolly Derby9 Contest Girl scouts Carol DeMarco, Jo-Ann Yoworsky, and Linda Peck, along with their leader Mrs. Ray Gradish, are shown as they work on the new county-wide doll-dressing contest, the "Dolly Derby," sponsored jointly by the Auxiliary of Goodwill Industries of Lorain and the Black River Girl Scout Council. A total of 700 dressed dolls is the aim of the sponsoring groups, who adopted the project for two reasons: To develop and encourage creative and artistic talents, and to offer an opportunity for girl scouts to help the handicapped as they work on their service and sewing badges. Proceeds from the sale of dressed dolls will be used to supplement wages of handicapped people and to assist in training programs provided for them at Goodwill Industries. The "Dolly Derby" is open to Brownies, Intermediate and Senior girl scouts from ages 9 to 17. The dolls will be divided into four group those dressed by nine-year-old girls, those by ten and eleven-year-olds, and those dressed by junior and senior high school scouts. There is no entry fee, and each scout may spend no more than one dollar for the cost of materials for a doll, although remnants and used material may but since the question had been raised, he did not want his application acted upon until he had a written opinion for council's records.Council tabled both applications. Accept plat Council accepted, with stipulations, a plat for Milad Abraham and Michael Beko, calling for 65 new lots in a new subdivision west and north of the area recently zoned commercial at Cleveland and Leavitt.Stipulations of council were that a street paving bond must be filed with the clerk and a payment must be made into the park fund. Abraham told council he wanted the plat accepted now so that provision can be made for lowering the proposed sanitary sewers on Leavitt road. Miscellany The franchise calling for new gas rates was passed on its second reading. - -i Councilman Dwight Standen reported that a troop of Girl Scouts wanted to use the fire station for meeings but could not pay the fees. Council said that fees were set by ordinance and could not be waived. They suggested that the council rooms could be used. Another request for more help in his office by Clerk Robert Ren-ouard got no material aid from council. Renouard was told to work with Koppenhafer on suggestions for use of the police clerk. ill! 9m 1111 mmmMmmmmmmmmm i AO v A Y J , 4, be used.
