Thursday, Sept. 17
One-hundred and five pints of
blood were collected last Thurs
day in Noble county when the
Red Cross blood center made
its second visit to the Meth
odist church in Caldwell.
Mrs. John D. Wheeler, chair
man* said that a high percentage
of rejects was noted, there being
33 in all. There were 12 walk-ins
pnd 28 who failed to cancel or
keep their appointments.
It will be remembered that 148
pints were collected during the
first visit with only 14 rejects.
The physician in charge of the
blood center rejected practically
all 33 donors for a high tempera
ture. He attributed this to the
fact that Noble county was in
the flu sector.
The quota for this county was
325 pints of blood, with the over
all picture resulting in the county
remaining three pints ahead of
the quota.
The local nurses who assisted
Thursday were Mrs. Clyde Cun

Secrest Mentioned
As
Stale
Candidate
Ball Again Rolling
For Governorship
Rep. Wayne L. Hays of Flush
ing, Belmont county, said today
that he may run for governor
next year, if Gov. Lausche does
not try for a fifth term and he
also said that he had assurances
that Noble County's Congress
man Robert T. Secrest won't be
in the field against him.
At Washington, however, Sec
rest issued the following state
ment:
"I have not made any commit
ments either way with regard
to the governorship race."
Secrest is now serving his
eighth term in congress longer
than any other man ever to rep
resent the 15th district.
Secrest's statement did not
mean that he will be a candidate
for the governorship, even if
Lausche is not a candidate.
He made it clear that he was
simply giving no assurances that
would prevent him from enter
ing the race for the nomination
if the right kind of support should
develop.
Secrest has attracted the at
tention of political leaders thru
out Ohio for having won consis
tently in a district that is pre
dominantly Republican. Last year
over P. W. Griffith of Marietta
he rolled up a majority greater
than even President Eisenhower
recrivcd.
