Ohio Amends Marriage License Rules for Medina County
The revised Ohio code eases license rules effective June 22, limiting residency to Medina County applicants. Medina’s Probate Court in the new courthouse handles licenses, with staff processing 693 in 1971 and projecting about 800. Applicants must appear in person 5 to 30 days before issuance and meet blood test, residency, and age consent requirements, with pregnancy provisions for minors and juvenile court involvement when necessary. The probate judge notes out-of-staters pose challenges and clarifies procedures via the Medina County License Bureau.

Neva Small Stars in Fiddler Debut and Size of Fame
Actress Neva Small at 19 discusses her film debut as Chava in Fiddler on the Roof and her instinct to stay herself. She recalls a New York premiere, watching Helen Hayes, and notes her Broadway background and method of developing characters through daily observing people. She reflects on movie acting differences and the idea of playing her own great grandmother. The piece shifts to Medina County marriage law and license costs, noting who may officiate and the rise in fees from two dollars to two twenty-five, with a tongue in cheek quote about divorce costs.
