News Journal, Friday, June 30, 1972 PAGE jT jt a Madison School Plan for Vocational Building filed at the Richland County Board of Elections at least a month before the election as required by law, Madison Supt. Preston Burggraf said. Requests for votes on bond issues must be filed at least 90 days before election. James Crawfis. architect employed by the school board, estimated that if the bond issue is approved in the November election, construction of the vocational addition could begin early next spring with a view to its completion by the fall of 1974.

The addition will be of 77,000 square foot size. It is designed to provide laboratories and related classrooms for 16 vocational programs to serve up to 700 high school pupils. To lawfully provide for equipment and construction, as well as related changes in the existing building, the proposal on the ballot will read: "For constructing a vocational addition, remodeling, improving and making additions to school buildings for school purposes and for furnishing and equipping school buildings and sites." If the addition is approved by voters, it will be the second since the high school was built on Esley Lane in 1962. The high school earlier had been on Ashland Rd. in the building which is now Madison Junior High School.

A classroom wing was added to the present high school building in 1965. Only other item of business at last night's meeting was the awarding of a $4,220 contract to Lexington Asphalt Paving for surfacing areas around Madison High School and Madison Junior High School. A $1,365,000 bond issue will be placed on the Nov. 7 ballot to pay for the Madison School District's share in building and equipping a $2,730,000 vocational addition to Madison High School. State funds will pay the remaining half, $1,365,000.

Madison Board of Education voted unanimously at a special meeting last night to submit the issue to the voters. The issue would ado) a mill to property taxes in the district which has a total valuation of $104,404,000. The bond issue would run for 21 years. A levy to operate an expanded vocational program in the proposed new facility also will be placed on the Nov. 7 ballot.

The amount of the operational levy is yet to be determined. It will be fit ivy i mm. I 4.

Chief of Police John Butler and Fire Chief Leonard Boebel vowed strict enforcement of existing fireworks laws over the holiday period. "We plan to prosecute, those persons caught, to the fullest extent of the law," Chief Butler said. The National Safety Council estimates that fireworks injure as many as 5,000 persons and cause more than 1,500 fires yearly.

Strict fireworks legislation exists in more than 60 per cent of the states and the interstate transportation of fireworks is forbidden, yet fireworks "bootlegging" is a common practice. Fireworks legislation, across the nation has cut such related deaths down from 466 to near zero yearly, but National Safety Council officials and local law enforcement agencies are also trying to prevent all injuries as well. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also joined in the fight, banning all Class fireworks nationally, but it still allows use of Class fireworks which carry a warning note in "permissive states." Class fireworks include cherry itnporary Duly bombs and some types of aerial bombs and rockets, while Class are small firecrackers and nonexplusives, such as sparklers and snakes. However, most law enforcement of ficials, including Mansfield authorities, are even miffed at the acceptance nationally of these Class fireworks.

As one safety official pointed out, "It seems as if these fireworks are okay, as long as they carry a warning label." lie quickly added, ever, that a recent federal government- funded study showed that 42 per cent of all fireworks related injuries are caused by Class fireworks. Chief Butler and Chief Boebel said perhaps the "safest" thing to do concerning fireworks was take the youngsters to a public display and teach them the dangers of "experimenting," especially with mail order chemical kits which now show how to "make" your own fireworks. They added that parents could set the best example by not using firecrackers around the home during the holidays. nil 1 ml -ml WW' ARMY COUPLE Frederick Herman, 21, and his wife Deborah, 20 from Allen-town, Pa. study a U.

(UPI Photo) Tivo for Selling Marijuana Four Sentenced to Prison U.S. Chess Champ Faces Blacklisting AMSTERDAM (AP) The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports" he is holding out for a cut of the gate receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia.

Dr. Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grandmaster, said Thursday night that if the 29 year old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever." Fischer was seen Thursday night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended tnem off. The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight. But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday.

Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless he got 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sales of television and film rights already agreed to. The Icelandic federation was reported seeking a compromise in negotiations with Fred Cramer, former president of the American Chess Federation, who is acting as Fischer's advance man. The Icelanders said they have already spent about $200,000 on preparations, and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't break even. The gate receipts probably will be considerable.

Matches will be played three to six days a week in a 2,500 -seat sports palace with seats at $5 each. And the series is expected to last two months. Euwe said he didn't expect the Icelandic Chess Federation to meet Fischer's demand. He added that it would have grounds for legal action against the American challenger if he didn't show up Sunday.

Executive IRS Staff By PAT HEYDINGER With the advent of another holiday weekend, Mansfielders are being warned to "take it easy" in the roadways and to drive safely. But with each Independance Day, thousands of Ohioans and Mansfielders do something that is just as dangerous and just as deadly.

They experiment with fireworks, from sparklers to full fledged aerial displays. The end result is often tragic lost fingers, blown off hands, blindness and sometimes even death. Strict state and city laws fail to deter most people, who, in many cases don't even realize the seriousness of the offense. Under state law, possession or discharging of fireworks is subject to a fine of between $25 and $500. Transporting fireworks into the state, knowing they are to be used in a manner prohibited by Ohio law, is a federal crime as well.

A fine up to $1,000 and a jail term up to one year can be the penalty under federal regulations.
