Pre- I rial Meeting
Is Set For Today

vices
Attorneys arc Horace p Whit
worth Jr, Westernport, represent
ing two members of the board
of Election Supervisors, and w.
Dwight Slower, of Oakland, repre-
scnting the Garrett County Board
of Commissioners.
The majority of the election
board wants to purchase machines
manufactured by the Automatic
Voting Machine Company of James
town, N. Y William Gibson and
Francis Sanders contend that the
state law requiring use of voting
machines in all Maryland counties
entities them to enter into con
tract to buy the devices.
However, two of the county COM
missioncrs, Harvey D. SWartzcn-
trubcr and Aubrey c. Brcnncman,
contend that the contract must be
approved by the County Commits
sioners because that body must
provide the funds to pay for the
voting machines. In essence they
argue that the county commissions
crs hold veto" power over the
election board.
Swartzcntruber and BrcnnCman
have said that tho election board
should have purchased machines
from the Shoup Voting Machine
company which submitted the low

MIAMI, Jan. % Especially -
Like the University of Okla
homa's 1855 Orange Bowl foot
ball team. Jockey Bobby Ussery
of Wan, Okla, is a "second-hal
ball Of fire.
USsery is cutting a wide swath
for himself IN Florida racing
circles this winter. The 19-year-
old reinsman won the jockey
title at Tropical Park with 81
winners. In second place was
Americas No. l jockey Of 1855,
Willie Hartack, With AZ. The
battle is continuing during Hia-
leah's 40-day meeting and when
you throw in such competitors as
Ted Atkinson, four times leading
Jockey here, Hedley Woodhouse,
Eric Guerin and Steve Brooks,
you get an idea of the torrid
opposition Ussery is facing.
Ussery has been winning by
keeping his mounts well off the
pace in the early stages of a
race, selecting openings when
they appear curving for home, as
the front runners begin coming
back and driving down the
stretch under the impetus of his
powerful finishes! So zealously
does Ussery finish with a horse
that experienced horsemen in
Florida rank him with the late
George (IcemanJ Woolf. His
manner of riding is similar to
another come from behind"
Jockey, the veteran Conn Nc
Creary.
Among the young Oklahoma
riders winning traits is quits"
AS one racing writer put it:
"Ussery has a good strong stom-
ach for the tight places =.
he's not chicken when it comes
to going through q hole.
But he's more than that. He's
an excellent judge Of pace, a
good man with the whip-ca-
pable Of switch hitting-and he
has confidence in himself
you've got to believe in your
self If you're going to be a really
good rider" the good looking
youngster saws.
Ussery's apprenticeship, so to
speak, began with an early fond
ness for horses. He started riding
