Britain Honors Former Noble Countian
For Outstanding Devotion To War Duly
Navy Captain Stephen M. Archer of Marion, formerly of
Summerfield, has been presented the Most Excellent Order
of the British Empire in ceremonies at the British Embassy
in Washington, D. C. The presentation was made by Sir Roger
Makin, British ambassador to this country.
Capt. Archer is the son of Mrs. S. M. Archer of Marion
and a nephew of Mrs. Martha Archer, Lewis street, Caldwell.
He is also a cousin of Glen Archer, Summerfield. He was cited
by the British government for his outstanding leadership and
devotion to duty during minesweeping operations in the Tae
dong River, Korea in 1950. His work enabled British troops
serving under the U-N Command to enter Chinampo and make
use of that port at an early date.
Capt. Archer now is stationed in Washington awaiting
orders to Athens, Greece, where he will become the Naval
Attache at the American Embassy. He will be accompanied
by his wife and daughter.
He visited in Caldwell, Berne and Summerfield communities
last September shortly after he was ordered on detached duty
as chief of staff to Commander Cruiser Division Two.

Write-In Votes Prohibited
At Coming
Slock And Sharon Campaigns Bring Up Issue
'Tn!(\ss specific provision is made by statute, no blank
space shall be provided on a ballot for write-in votes, and
any names written on a ballot other than in a blank space
provided therefore shall not be counted or recorded after
January 1, 1956."
Secretary of State Ted Brown made the above statement
in connection with the techni
cal question which arose in
Noble county on Nov. 8 when
two write-in candidates de
feated a regular candidate in
Stock and Sharon school dis
tricts, although no blank spaces
were left on the ballot.
Secretary Brown said "It is
ur thought that even though
the Supreme Court upholds the
decision of the Court of Appeals,
these legislative changes made
by the 101st General Assembly,
effective on January 1, 1956,
will clearly prohibit write-ins at
any general election held after
that date."
But since this ruling is not
effective until Jan. 1, 1956, the
election of the write-in can
didates in Noble county will
stand and they must be issued
a certificate of election by the
local board.
The 101st General Assembly
has amended the election laws

Only a few of the candidates
had any expense to file and by
law they are allowed $10.00.
The largest single amount was
listed by the CIO, representing
per capita payments from
affiliated local Unions in the Dis

tabulation on the unofficial votes
at the Nov. 8 election in Wash

announced that the tax levy
renewal for Aurelius school
district had been defeated by
two votes.
But the official count last week
disclosed a terrific error and the
tax levy passed with a 120 voting
for the levy and 77 against.
Supt. Ray Curtis said that the
levy was in the amount of 6.40
mills for the operating expenses
of the school district in Macks

O'Neill Announces
C. WILLIAM O'NEILL
"I shall be a candidate for
nomination for governor of Ohio
at the Republican primary in
May, 1956", Attorney C. William
O'Neill announced Monday
morning to the general public.
A native of Marietta, this
would be the first opportunity
southeastern Ohio has had to be
represented in the chief execu
tive's mansion since the late Gov.
George White served in this
capacity.
O'Neill has the rare combina
tion in government of youth and
experience. Although 39 years of
age, he has served in Ohio's
government for 17 years. He has
been in both the legislative and
executive branches, serving 12
years in the legislature and five
years as attorney general.
He was the youngest member
of the Ohio legislature, being
only 22 years of age when he
took office one of the youngest
speakers of the house at 30 years
of age and the youngest attorney
general at 34.
He is married to the former
Betty Hewson, of Marietta, and
they have two children.
Noble county was one of 20
who endorsed and urged O'Neill
to be a candidate for governor.
