Grover Smith Will
Run Against Weldon

The old Grover Smith Homer
Weldon feud, which has been wag-
ing in Noble county for several
years, will again hit the spotlight
with check at the election board,
which revealed that Smith will
again seek the office which he pre-
viously held.
1t will be remembered that the
Weldon Smith vote always, at least
in the past, calls for recount and
at all times the race has been close.
After several unsuccessful at
tempts, Weldon finally unseated
Smith but it took a recount to de-
termine the status quo. Now the
picture is changing and Smith will
attempt to oust Weldon from a
second term as county engineer.
1t is expected that the Smith
Weldon race will rank along side
that of the free-for-all which looms
for county commissioners. To date
nine Republicans and Democrats
have announced for this office, two
to be elected.

Shotgun Shells Aged
In Ch a m b e r

EAST LTON, Ill. - R) -
Smokeless ball powder used in
shotgun shells is prematurely aged
in a heat chamber here to test its
keeping quality and in studies to
develop better powders. The find
ings benefit skeet and trap shoot
ers.
Under normal conditions in tenn
perate and cold climates, powder
made by conventional methods
keeps its full power or potential
energy for 20 years or longer, pow
der experts say. Under high tenn
peratures, its life is shorter, since
the powder breaks down. The heat
chamber speeds up aging, and
helps show how long a powder
normally would last.
Same samples Of ball powder
have withstood the heat test as
long as 10 years, or about -four
times longer than usual, said Fred
Olsen, director Of research and de.
