State Approves Florence School District Transfer
The Ohio State Department of Education approved the transfer of Florence Local School district from Erie County to the Firelands district in Lorain County. The decision counters Erie County board denial and follows a two year effort by Florence residents to join Brownhelm Camden and Henrietta in the Firelands consolidation. A new modern high school is planned within Firelands to serve 200 to 300 pupils, with a 10 day waiting period before the final decision.

Joy Charges Red Truce Talkers Lie
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy in his final week as UN truce head denounced Communist negotiators as out and out liars over prisoner screening. Gen. Mark W Clark announced Joy will be relieved next Friday as Harrison succeeds Joy, with Briscoe taking over the naval command. Joy, who urged relief if the Communists rejected the final offer, noted 70 000 of 169 000 prisoners want to return home versus Communist expectations. Gen Nam II said direct or indirect screening was inconceivable for his side.
