THE FIRST meeting will be Tuesday at North High for residents of Wards One and Two. Residents of Wards Seven and Nine will meet April 5 at Garfield High. The session for Wards Four and Eight will be April 7 at Buchtel High. Residents of Wards Three and Five will have their session April 14 at Central-Hower High. East High will be the site for an April 20 meeting for Wards Six and 10 residents.

Early said a second round of meetings will be held this fall, probably one session in each ward. City council approved holding two rounds of neighborhood meetings each year as a way to satisfy the citizen participation requirement attached to federal Community Development funding. AKRON will receive about $9.5 million in Community Development money for housing rehabilitation, public improvements and a variety of social services in five areas. The areas are Harvard in Ward Three, Kenmore in Ward Nine, Morgan in Ward Five, Joy in Ward 10 and Glenwood in Wards One and Two. The money is for a funding year starting in August and information from the neighborhood meetings will be passed on to the planning commission and city council.

Council has final say on what projects are proposed for Community Development funds. The six-year capital improvements program calls for spending $272.5 million through 1982 for roads, sewers, bridges and other public improvements in all parts of the city.

On an identical digital face, the clock monitors the constant time of the time standard. When the difference between the two clock faces reaches three seconds, Ohio Power initiates a chain of phone calls to power companies across the country.

For 100 minutes, the utilities either slightly increase or reduce electric production to again synchronize the power system with the time standard, Crabtree said. This readjustment occurs about every other day, Crabtree said. HOWEVER, during this winter's fuel crisis, the utilities were sometimes unable to generate enough electricity to maintain the correct frequency. As a result, electric clocks fell as far as 28 seconds behind the time standard on Jan. 18.

Radio and television stations complained that the time lag caused problems in switching from local to network programs. Crabtree, who works all day near the Ohio Power clock, might be expected to have one of the most accurate wristwatches this side of Fort Collins. He doesn't. "I don't wear a watch," Crabtree explained. By RICK REIFF Beacon Journal Staff Writer CANTON There is a clock in the control room of the Ohio Power Co.

that keeps "perfect" time. The clock, a digital monitoring device the size of a bread box, keeps the electrical frequency of America's power companies synchronized with the' "perfect" timepiece: The quartz-driven time standard of the National Bureau of Standards station in Fort Collins, Colo. When power stations generate with perfect timing, everything driven by electricity runs more smoothly, according to Harold Crabtree of Ohio Power's System Power Production and Control Cen- r. Giant motors in steel mills require less maintenance and clocks on kitchen walls stay on time, Crabtree said. THE NATION'S electric utilities, which form a single interconnected power system, continue to maintain that perfect timing as long as the electricity they produce is just enough to meet current demand.

If there is a spurt or dip in power for example, an outage at a power station in Peoria or a sudden increase in the use of air conditioners during a heat wave the elecfical frequency will fluctuate by split seconds. These fluctuations affect the ac Teen sisters killed in fire BEACHWOOD (JP) Fire officials are trying to determine the cause of a house fire here Sunday which killed two teenage sisters.
