ALL DEMOCRATS
WIN IN COUNTY
CONTINUED from Page IL


cumbent RolIie Witt and Edward
Tank, won easily over their Re-
publican opponents, Harold Jer-
emy and Louis j. Sandrock. Tank
and Witt ran neck-and-neck, 6719
for the former and 6S81 for Witt.
Jeremy totaled 5256 votes and
.Sandrock 4183.
Atty. Myron Rosentreter, Oak
Harbor Democrat, piled up q big
majority over Republican John
Reinheimer and won easily, 1868
to 4051. Rosentreter will succeed
George Slaughter as prosecuting
attorney in January.
Probate Judge p. w. Gulau,
Democrat, was returned to office
with 6991 votes. Although he had
withdrawn from the race, Demo
crat Tom Stahl was given 1924
complimentary votes.
Sheriff elect Merlan Budd was
the only candidate who carried
every precinct in the county. His
victory was astounding when one
recalls that some precincts in the
county are traditionally Repub-
lican and seldom, if ever, give
majorities to Democratic candi-
dates.
BY Lausche's victory in %
precincts, the Democrats regained
eight from the Republicans. Poll
tics Of presiding judges is deter
mined by the successful guberna-
torial candidate in the previous
election. In 1912 the Republicans
had 80 precincts in this county,
while the Democrats won 20 of
the 80 in the 1914 election.
For the next four years, the
Republican precincts in this coun-
ty will be Put-in-Bay /, 2 and 8;
Harris /, 2 and 3; Clay 2 and 8;
Danbury 3; Salem /, and Cataw-
ba. The other % precincts will
have Democratic presiding judges.

sist in the project. / would also
like to publicly thank Lyle May

vided and the Ohio Public Service

Two preliminary steps must be
taken before any work of con-
struction can get under way. (a)
Sale of bonds (2) Receiving bids.
Both of these steps must be pre-
eeded by period of advertising,
1t is hoped that this can be ac-
cOmplished SO that construction

Agents Named for
Spray Products

The Corona Chemical Division of
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com
pany, manufacturers and disribu-
tors of quality spray materials, has
recently appointed the Island &
Gypsum Fruit Company and Emery
S. Gielow as co-jobbers for their
products in this territory.
To assist growers with disease
and insect problems the Corona
Chemical Division has at their
service Harold L. Moreland, a grad
uate entomologist and plant path
ologist, with headquarters at San
dusky. Mr.. Gielow has had con-
siderable experience with spray
materials and, along with other
growers, he reports unusual control
of disease and insects thru the use
of Corona Products.
Realizing the urgent need of re-
ducing the cost Of fruit growing,
the Island & Gypsum Fruit Com
pany has devised a method of mer-
chandising which will enable all
growers to purchase spray mater
ials at commercial grower prices,
which offers considerable saving.
Another real advantage to grow
ers, is the warehouse Of spray ma
terials maintained at Gypsum,
eliminating the necessity of stock
ing large amount of spray in the
winter or spring to carry thru the
summer.
The Island & Gypsum Fruit
Company will serve its members
while Independent fruit growers
will be served by Emery S. Gielow.

School Needs
Being Studied
Continued from first pagel

The exterior appearance and
condition of the grounds and
buildings were checked under the
heading of playground, landscaping
and structure of the building.
Facilities, equipment and sup
plies of offices, classrOCms, special
subject rooms and teachers" rooms
were checked as to kind, condition
whether they were modern. suffi-
cient for the need of the school and
available for use. ClassrOOms were
observed according to grades. One
classroom was studied from each
level: lower elementary, upper
elementary, junior high and senior
high.
The departments of art, science,
music, physical education, CONNER
cial and industrial arts, home eco
nOmics, the auditorium, the health
room, facilities for guidance, san
itary facilities and facilities for
food services were checked Corri-
doris, library, gymnasium were
studied, and source of drinking
water ascertained.
The facilities of the school avail
able to the community as we'll as
the resources of the community
available for the school were tab
ulated.
The source of incOma-state. To-
cal taxes, or other sources such as
P.T.A., school projects or com
munity organizations were tabu-
lated.
The first summary of the infOr-
nation made by the planning com
mittee was by counties, and di-
vided into three groups: City Of
Wilmington, Special Districts and
State Board units. In this way
each school may be able to evaluate
its place in the system by COM
parisOn with other schools in its
group when the date is released
for study.
1t has been the objective of
the organizations that originated
and carried out the project that
communities would use the date
secured in the survey as basis
for further study and constructive
efforts in the schools. Because
of its very nature, the survey
cannot be considered an exhaustive
study of the schools. However.
sufficient general data is given to
stimulate further investigation by
members of the school community
The AA.U.W turned over the
results Of the tabulatiOn to the
C.D.E. for further summaries OF
the information secured in the
study of the schools.
