Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and
Gentlemen:
have been asked for the last
few days, and prior to that time
what my decision would be as to
being a. candidate for County
Commissioner from the Gathers.
burg District, which includes the
area of Gaithersburg, GAINESVILLE
GAINESVILLE, etc.
l made decision four years ago
in reference. to this office, and
was endorsed by this group, which
endorsement | was very proud to
have at that time. AS the weeks
went on, and the months went on,
and the Election went on-we all
know that | was defeated by one
fine gentleman, Walter johnson of
Germantown.
l was supported by mail, by the
press, and by this group, and !
want to say again that | appreciat-
ed that support, because / did
want to be County Commissioner
from my District. / wanted to be
County Commissioner and serve the
County as a whole. | wanted to be
County Commissioner for the du-
ties that are put upon that office.
And you all know what hap
pened to that Board of County
Commissioners in the four years
that have just passed. 1t is his
tory, it has been in the press, it
has made the history of today.
Naturally, the voters of this Coun-
ty, know me as an individual that
started in this world with nothing,
and having accomplished and hav-
ing acquired some of this Mont
gomery County real estate, of
which l am very proud. / am very
proud to be a citizen and land
owner and a voter of Montgomery
County, because think it is one of
the finest counties in the State.
The proof of this County being a
good County is that all of the
incest people want to live here.
We do have a lot of fine people,
but getting back to the Office of
County Commissioner, we all know
that in the past months the Board
of County Commissioners nave
been influenced by some group or
some individual, or person, to the
point where the Board of County
Commissioners of today is not
functioning.
WHY IS 1T NOT FUNCTION
ING? Simply because some indi-
vidual, or some group of individu-
ais, has forced upon the County
Commissioners a duty that they
themselves do not think was fair
to the voters of Montgomery Coun-
ty. Those County Commissioners
are sure in their own minds That

follow the box scores and the stand

games over the radio. My estimate
would be 40 million, including the
fanatics and the only mildly inter-

This is only a guess. But that
many through newspaper and radio
must follow a world series.

They may dig back INTO the past.

been Babe Ruth. =
Proof here is simple. Babe has
gone into such cities as Philadelphia
and Boston when they were trailing
and drawing less than a thousand at
home games. But when the Babe
came to town they had to call po-
lice reserves to the scene.
Next to Ruth we'd have Ty Cobb

a terrifying period: We had run out of paper

Postwar Ohio Highway Maps Will
Mark Points Of Interest, Scenic Spots

New 1916 Ohio touring road maps,
first printed since the outbreak of
World War III, are rolling off the
presses and probably will be ready
for distribution this week, according
to an announcement by State High
way Director Perry T. Ford.
The last haps printed by the
State Highway Department were
distributed in 1912; but that same
map was reprinted in 1943.
Two hundred thousand of the
1916 road maps are being printed,
Mr.. Ford said, "but undoubtedly
more will have to be printed later
in the year as the demand for Ohio's
beautiful road maps is tremendous.
The map will be 25"><22", unfold
ed, and is being printed in four col
ors-dark blue, light blue, red and
yellow. The states 1S,443 miles of
state highways will be on the map
by a scale of 10 miles to an inch.

line along the regular road line, and
location of Ohio's conservation state

stations.
Insets of the states large cities
have been drawn to a larger scale
than in former years, permitting
more detail, Director Ford said
Cities insetted are Columbus, Day
ton, Toledo, Akron, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati and Youngstown.
On the back of the map there is
complete index of all cities and
villages on the state highway sys-
tenn, alphabetically by counties,
There also are map of the United
States showing the nations main
highways, and a chart indicating the
road distance between the nations
large cities.
The natural color photograph on
the front of the map was selected
from several taken by Highway De-
partment photographs to show the
states scenic beauty. The scene is
on State Route N in Morgan county,
south of McConnellsville.
All Ohio road maps distributed by
the Highway Department are pre-.
pared by the map division in the
department and printed under con.
tract for the state by private print
