Here are some election echoes:
Discount the stories that have been
going the rounds, that some of the
candidates for County Commission
er who ran close races, but lost out,
will file petitions for a recount. l
think you will find that those who
were thinking about filing have
changed their minds.
Being a Republican, 1 was disap-
pointed that the Democrats gained
control of the County Government,
but in all honesty I've got to admit
that Washington Countys Board of
County Commissioners for the next
four years will measure up to any
in the State. With such men as
Winslow F. Burhans, who not only
was reelected, but also topped all
candidates Cloth Democrats and Re-
publicans) in the election; his two
fellow Democrats, E. Lester Mob
ley, Sr., and Chester F. Delphey;
and the two Republican members,
Clarence v. Eldridge and Joseph M,
Hoffman Cloth re-elected), the
County is assured of sound, bus
iness-like enthusiastically bust
ness men-that will see to it that
the fine start that has been made on
a program of good schools and good
roads, will be kept rolling.
While it is far too early to pre-
dict with any certainty who the raft
of appointment changes that will
come through the Republicans win
ming the State election and the Dem
ocrats the County, will go to, here
are few guesses:
States Attorney Martin Ingram,
who failed in his bid for reelection,
will become judge of the Juvenile
Court.
Jack Berkson, who made such a
fine run in the House of Delegates
race, will be in line for one of the
Republican top legal posts.
Eldred Rinehart, chairman of the
Republican Central Committee, will
become a member of the State Rae
ing Commission.
Fred Sweeney will remain on the
County Liquor Board, changing over
from a majority member to the
minority member.
Brig. Gen. John D Marley will
replace Aljutant General Milton A.
Reckord.
Congratulations to Mrs Nathan
Raskin, chairman of the Washing
ton County Red Cross Blood Donor
Program, on being appointed chair
man of the Public Information Com
mittee of the Regional Co-ordinating
Committee of the national Red Cross
Blood Donor Program
Mrs. Raskin and the members OF
her committee held their first meet
ing in Washington yesterday, and
later will make recommendations
for an overall promotion program
for the Blood Program.
