Occupy New Home
On Playground Road

Last week, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Lorenz, of the Lorenz
Hardware, moved to their new
home on Playground road. The
new structure is of the ranch
type design, and is constructed
of light buff brick, manufacture
ed by the Ava Brick Co.
The Lorenz home is one of the
more modern recently built
homes, completed with a full
basement and a garage as part
of the overall construction. The
Lorenz's occupied the Mills
apartment on North street.
Contractors were Crock &
Schafer, with 7. w. Patterson
acting supervisor.
This is one of several new
homes that have been construct
ed west of Caldwell, on State
Route 78. Other new homes con-
structed in that area include
those of Maurice Colley, D. w.
Barlow, George Frye. Henry
Gill, and Gerald Stringer.
With all city conveniences,
water and electricity, now avail
able in that area, it is expected
additional new homes will be
built in the immediate future.

The All club was founded by
A. B. Graham in Springfield in
1902. Mr.. Graham is now living
on a farm, near Columbus.
A historic stamp has been is
sued at Springfield, to commem-
crate the foundation of the All,
of which there are "a clubs in
Noble county, according to coun-
ty agricultural agent, Floyd
Henderson. These "a clubs in the
county consist of 37l members,
who completed 452 projects last
year.
Mr.. Henderson has announced
that this district will not par
take in the jubilee celebrations
until March. From then on, they
will continue to be featured in
all club activities throughout the
year.
Plans are belng made by the
advisors council for the annual
advisors recognition banquet, to
be held in national All club
week. some time in March.
On Jan. 4, an area conference
of agents will be held in Marietta

grams on a preliminary basis.
This year of 1852 will be big

fine work in the past, and may
the future hold as much promise
as the past held progress.

PoIio-Fighting Funds
Continued from Page One)

During the last four years, the
National Foundation and its
chapters have spent $79,0O0,000
in March of Dimes funds for pa
tient care charges alone, as COM
pared with $4l,000,000 in the
previous ten-year span.
This situation was brought
about not only by rising costs
but also because there were
more cases during the last four
years than in the entire previous
decade.
Added to increased costs and
increased incidence has been
third factor that has compound
ed the difficulties of the Nation
al Foundation. Polio doesn't just
hit and run. The effects of any
one years epidemic are not soon
forgotten by many of the stric-
ken ones, nor by the National
Foundation chapters which pay
the bills.
In 1851, for example, the
March of Dimes organization pro-
vided care for $4,000 men, women
and children stricken in prior
years in addition to the four
out of five of the new patients
who needed and received help.
This black picture has meant
that the National Foundation is
annually faced with an average
of 10000 cases, in contrast to the
ten to- twelve thousand cases a
year formerly considered norm
al"
This is the reason why the
1852 March Of Dimes period has
had to be increased; it is also the
reason why contributions will
have to be increased this year, if
polio is to be checked and event
ually conquered.
Noble county'S only reported
case last year drew quite heavily
on the county reserve fund and
at the present time the treasury
stands practically depleted.
, Chairman Fox, assisted by Vice
Chairman Robert Dennison, asks
that all contributions be increas-
ed to assure continued assistance
to Dana Morrison, of Elk town
ship, the county's only victim,
and to any and all future cases
that might develop within the
confines of Noble county.

a single TX" at the head of the
column. To vote 9 straight ticket,
each party candidate for various
offices must be narkeH with an
"x".
The law bans bank spaces on
the ballot for wrie0ns unless
there are no candidates for the
offices.
State convention delegates no
longer will be picked at the pri.,
mary. The legislature designed
as delegates all party incumbents
and nominees for county
state offices EXCEPT
Other delegates will Ibe mi Us
of congress, the state Legislature,
state central and exc ecutlve COM
mittees and chairma n of county
committees.
Starting Jan. l, election boards
can set the pay of their clerks
and deputy clerks. They now are
fixed by a population formula.
Election board members can re-
ceive between $3.50 and, $4,000 a
year under a population formula.
Precinct officials also will get
more. They can receive up to
SIS, except where the two-crew
system is used. Receiving oft1ci-
ais in each crew can get up to $g@
and county officials to $12.
Long question and issue bal
lots will go out next year. The
new law permits a summary in
stead of the full text on ballots.
Party committees starting next
year can fill vacancies created by
withdrawal or death of a candi-
! date nominated in the primary.
But the new law omits that pro-
vision for independents.
Committees also can put candi-
dates on judicial ballots if judge
dies before the 40th day or after
the 80th day before a general
election. Failure of the law to
provide for such contingency
forced a write-in vote following
/ the death of Ohio Supreme Court
Judge Edward c. Turner of Col
umbus. Henry A. Middleton of
Toledo won Judge Turner's post
by write-in vote.
Other new laws require:
Election boards to use work
sheets in totaling votes and to
/ make the sheets a part of their
records.
Boards to report the canvass of
their vote promptly.
The secretary of state to can
vass the vote within 10 days after
getting returns from all counties.

Local Red Cross
Continued from page one)

Chairman Brown in brief,
highlighted the accomplishments
of the chapter, and noted per-
haps the one fact that very few
people realize, is the number of
personal calls and correspond
ence that are made thru the
local chapter in the course of
one year.
According to the report sub
mitted, over 400 such contacts
were made during the past year.
These included telephone calls,
telegraphs received and dispatch
ed, and personal calls that were
made directly in the local chap
ter's office.
A moment of silent prayer in
tribute to L. H. Tarleton, who
served as executive secretary,
was observed at the opening of
the meeting. Reading of the
minutes of the last session were
read by vice county chairman,
Mrs. Herschel Jordan, in the
obsence of Secretary Mary Rich
creek.
Named Fund Chairman
Richard Farley, of the G. r.
Farley Insurance agency, was
named to head the county fund
drive to get underway in the
near future. Eugene Ward, of
Seneca township, was named
vice fund drive chairman.
Farley served in this capacity
three years ago and was instru-
mental in making the fund drive
one of the most successful ever
sponsored in Noble county. He
succeeds Frank Reed, who has
conducted two very successful
drives in the last two years.
Field Representative Here
John Marsh, area field repres-
entative, of McConnelsville, was
present at the meeting and dis
cussed at length the work and
accomplishments of the Red
Cross at home and aboard. Marsh
outlined the responsibility of the
local chapter in regard to certain
important phases of its operation.
He highly commended the
water safety committee on its
work and urged its continuance
for the coming summer.
A question and answer period
followed Mr.. Marsh's talk. Many
problems of the home service
committee were brought to light
and satisfactorily explained by
the visiting field representative.
Committee reports submitted
included the treasurer's report
by Willis Hupp, the home service
by H. c. Secrest, Junior Red
Cross by Mrs. Walter Quick,
water safety by Mrs. James Mos
Grip, and first aid by Mrs. Clyde
Cunningham.
Light refreshments, consisting
of coffee and doughnuts were
served. A collection was taken
up among the group present to
pay for the repast.

Many Changes
Made Tn 1852
Election Laws
Clerk Walkenshaw
Says New Law Went
Into Effect Jan. |

There are many changes in the
election laws which will govern
the May and November elections
in Noble county for 1852, accord
ing to an announcement made
today by ]. Kyle Walkenshaw,
clerk of the local board. He
pointed out there are among 40
major changes that take effect
next Jan. l.
Interest is expected to run
high in this county during the
fast approaching presidential
year with five candidates al
ready announcing their inten-
tions to seek the office of COM
missioner. With two to be elect
ed, the field is expected to swell
to at least ten and possibly more.
A major change in the election
law is especially hard on the
independent for it prevents him
from waiting until the party
nominees are known before
jumping in against them at a
general election.
Opponents claim the new rules
for independents virtually lock
the door against them in state
wide races. They will need near
ly 100000 valid signatures to
qualify next year, compared with
less than 10000 now. The seven
percent law does not apply to,
candidates for school board,
township offices of those in
municipalities under 1000 popu-
lation.
The election board, located in
the courthouse, is open every day
and petitions may be obtained
from Clerk Walkenshaw.
Another new law requires the
names of presidential elector
candidates on the presidential
ballot. The 1852 ballots will list
them under the party candidates
for president and vice president.
Voters will mark their choices
for all the candidates with a
single "X'. That prevents voters
from splitting their choice for
national convention delegates be-
tween the two parties.
The new laws dealing with the
office-type ballot result from the
change in the state constitution
approved by voters in the 1949
election. The change eliminated
the old column ballot listing all
candidates under their party en-
blems-the Republican Eagle and
the Democratic rooster.
The office-type ballot lists all
candidates for each office in a
separate box with their party
| label.
The ballot is designed to pre-
vent straight ticket voting with
