Meat cutters OK new pact with Kroger
Meat cutter employees at Kroger stores in the Cleveland area voted 152 to 29 to accept a new one year contract ending a 25 day strike. Clerks in Akron Canton voted 308 to 78 on a revised offer. The deal cuts wages for some and trims vacation and holidays, while preserving health benefits and imposing minimum weekly hours. If clerks approve, industry talks resume with major area chains and employers.

Proposes State Parks in Lake Erie Area
A 1944 Chronicle Telegram report by County Engineer Donald E Patterson outlined plans for five miles of Vermilion River parks in Brownhelm Township and beach parks along Lake Erie. Beaver Park and Hole-in-the-Wall were eyed for lagoons piers and dredging with a $160,000 Beaver Creek project and about $3.5 million for the beach protection and state parks. The effort stalled, mirroring later debates on Lorain County parks and funds.
