Philadelphia, Houston and Charlotte, N.C., operate similar programs. Houston's hotline corps includes a bilingual teacher to handle questions from Spanish-speaking youngsters. The math hotline in Lorain, Ohio, not only shepherds school-age callers but graciously fields inquiries from college students and, in season, adults wrestling with tax returns...
...Republican county chairman, stop chewing his gum for just a minute and smile his Hoover smile. Zieba's been getting a lot of calls this year from Democrats, giving the gray inflatable elephant perched atop his law files a lot to smile about. "Even Eisenhower didn't carry Lorain," Zieba says, but things are looking up this year. The Puerto Ricans (almost 18 per cent of Lorain) and the Blacks are "lackadaisical voters who've put all their eggs in Carter's basket...
Joseph A. Ujhely Esq., Lorain County Democratic chieftain, head of Ohio's 1976 delegation to the Electoral College, son of a steelworker and a running guard for Ohio State, dismisses the poll as a lot of crap.

William "You cannot trust a Communist. Period." Parker, 18 years a city councilman and newly elected mayor of Lorain, does not agree. Parker tells his third visitor on Citizens Day that he "did not win" the election in Lorain but that the "other guy lost it." In Lorain, where "Pride Grows With Progress" at 572 feet above sea level, the Democratic mayor ran into a little trouble toward the end of his term. Some of his appointees, it seems, took a Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Block Grant program and turned it into a "geared to the greedy...
