1'iuUiy. Jan. 16. Akron lie neon Join rial 1 Coimtywide eaches Democracy ote By TED SIIERARTS Of Oar V.e loamy Hurra! Wayne County teen-agers may be too young to vote, but they are preparing to take over the County Courthouse and all its elective positions. They are going to do it the democratic way.

There will be party conventions, primaries and general elections with every youngster enrolled in a public high school qualified for office. The first Countywide Student Government Day sponsored by the Wayne County Area Student Council is scheduled for March 5. The mechanics of the caucuses and elections will be a hybrid of County, State and Federal election procedures. The plan is designed to give each school an equal chance at participation and victory, said Allan Weber of Rittman, County president Using a two-party system, the Council has placed under the Nationalist party banner the students of Rittman, Orrville, Dalton, Waynedale and Doylestown High Schools. Federalists are Norwayne, Wooster, Shreve, Smithville and Northwestern students.

Students in each high school will select three electorates to vote as they please in a prototype of the electoral college. Petitions for candidacy already are floating around the halls in preparation for the first event, the Feb. 12 party primaries. On that night the Federalists will meet in Wooster and the Nationalists in Orrville. Offices to be filled are probate judge, common pleas judge, prosecuting attorney, engineer, recorder, treasurer, sheriff, three county commissioners, health commissioner and five members to the county board of education.

The finals will be Feb. 19 in Wooster, featuring one-minute campaign speeches and the gathering of the electoral college. Student government days for municipal offices are traditional in some Wayne communities, but a Countywide race is new. 3 FATALITIES IN 2 DAYS ore Die In Stark mashups Reservoir Seen Lure To Industry By DAN WARNER Planning Director Walter Bobotek continued his battle to bring more recreational area to Portage County's proposed West Branch Reservoir as the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission officially moved Into 1962 Thursday i night. Bobotek Is using a new and, to some, more convincing tack.

The reservoir, he said, can do much to help lure Industry to the greater Akron area if enough recreational facilities are provided. HE SAID industries are recognizing the need to provide for the recreational needs of their employes and consider this when choosing a site. 'This development is one of those huge assets which could help do the job in attracting Industry," Bobotek said. "But," he said bluntly, "The reservoir will not be an asset unless we get more land for recreation." Bobotek's chief complaint is that the U. S.

Army Corps of Engineers, which is building the reservoir, reportedly plans to acquire only about 260 acres for recreation. The rec- PAUL BELCHER (left) was reelected Thursday night as president of the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission. Walter Bobotek (center), Tri-County planning director was reelected secretary, and Roland Weingart (right) of Streetsboro won another term as first vice president. Other officers: Medina Mayor James Brown, second vice president, and Samuel Stites, reelected third vice president. coon rr AFTERNOON ORRVILU ANNE EUIP (left) and Darlene May (center), Northwest High pupils, have each won this trophy as outstanding Latin students in national competition.

The government day will involve all the schools. The Wayne County School System sometimes is confused with schools in Wayne County, which are two totally different worlds. The County School System consists of seven high schools which do not include Rittman, Wooster and Orrville.

The Wayne County Athletic League has the seven teams from the County School System plus Rittman. The Wayne County Solo and Ensemble Contest on Feb. 10 will feature entries from the seven County schools plus Rittman and Orrville. The County literary events are for the seven schools only. If someone hasn't determined the "Little Seven" by now, they are Waynedale, Northwestern, Norwayne, Shreve, Smithville, Dalton and Doylestown.

SIZING EM UP If you find statistics a basis for comparison, here are the enrollments of the schools In the Wayne County Athletic League, listed In order of their size: Waynedale, 422; Norwayne, 401; Smithville, 342; Rittman, 339; Doylestown, 321; Northwestern, 309; Dalton, 245; and Shreve, 214.

Anne, a senior who lives at reation land would be at six separate sites. IN A REPORT prepared by the National Park Service for the Corps, it was recommended that a minimum? of 1,500 acres be set aside for parks and another 480 acres around the shoreline be reserved for recreation. Bobotek said he intends to check whether the Corps has a broad or specific appropriation for building the reservoir In a conference Saturday with Rep. Robert Cook of Ravenna. If the appropriation is a broad one, area residents should try to influence the Corps to provide more recreational area, Bobotek said.

If it is a specific one, with all funds allotted to specific purposes, Congress should be asked to provide more money, he said. AS THINGS stand now, total cost of the Reservoir will be $14.5 million, of which the Federal government will pay the major portion. The rest of the funds will come from Trumbull and Mahoning Coun ties, which will benefit Area Churches On Pane 0 through flood control and water supply for Industrial use. Congress already has appropriated $2.6 million, and pre liminary work is under Way at the reservoir site, east of Ravenna and south of Rt. 5.

The Kennedy Administration has asked for a second allocation. Tri-County President Paul Belcher reported that "half a dozen" foundations have been asked to contribute funds for a Tri-County study of land surrounding the reservoir. The study would serve as a guide for developing recreational facilities and for Betting up building, road and utility standards in the area. BELCHER said there is a "possibility" one of the groups will provide financial help. Bobotek was authorized to explore the possibility of having the Corps conduct a study of flood plains In the Tri-County area.

If the Corps decides such a 6tudy is important, Bobotek said, it can do detailed engineer ing, pinpointing flood plain areas. He said such a study would aid in planning zoning, building and, possibly, man-made devices to halt flooding. BELCHER, senior vice president of the First National Bank, was elected to his third term as president of the Commission. Also reelected were Streets-boro farmer Roland Welngart, first vice president, and Bobotek, secretary. Ohio Edison Co.

vice president Samuel Stites, second vice president last year, was named third vice president. The new second vice president Is Medina Mayor James Brown.

The airport has progressed from a sod field to its present state with a runway, making it the longest hard-surfaced licensed landing field in Ohio. Landing fields are designated as that because they are unattended. To qualify as an airport, a field must have at least eight hours a day at tendant service. THE NEW runway lights are now in use all night hours, The project was made pos sible by money raised by the Wadsworth Airmen's Associa- 1 1 and the Wadsworth Chamber of Commerce through industry in Wads worth and Rittman.
