101 Candidates File
For Office In County
At The May 8 Primary
Exactly 101 candidates filed their petitions for an office
in the May 8 primary, according to records of Clerk Harry
G. Richcreek of the iocal election board.
There were 29 candidates for regular county offices
and Republican Engineer Homer Weedon is the only incum
bent in the entire county who does not have opposition.
Examination Monday
e i v e s o n s w o s u e e e s
fully passed their driver s eyami
nntions here Monday under the
jurisdiction of the state patrol
were: Lyman Robert Bailey, of
South Zanesville route 1, and
Maynard Elsworth Mowrer, of
Cambridge, who received chauf
feur's license William Joseph
Estadt, Caldwell, James Lee
Groves of Caldwell and James
Yerian of Cumberland route, all
of whom received operator's
license.
Driver's Examiner Don Lowe
also announced that beginning
on Monday, Feb. 20, all appli
cants must make an appointment
in order to take their driver's
test. Tests are given in Caldwell
every Monday from 9:00 a. m.
to 4:00 p. m. and appointments
may be made as far as 30 days
in advance.
Of course. Dr.
i
Reed,
N S
jvro Hied fiV* another term ol
coroner, never has opposition
for this particular office.
Although the primary will be
a heated one on the county level,
the most noise will probably be
heard on the Republican side for
central committeeman, where
another fight is looming.
There are 48 Republicans filed
for this particular office with
only two precincts listed as "no
candidate". This includes Sharon
and Wayne precincts.
Since a central committeeman
is elected at the primary, there
will be no blank spaces on the
ballot for Sharon and Wayne
precincts. This will also hold
true on the Democratic ticket,
where a total of 11 precincts did
not have a candidate. Voters in
these particular precincts will
not be given an opportunity to
vote for central committeeman

n.-w school dist! .«-t the southern part
of the county was passed at regular meeting of the Noble County
Board of Education on Feb. 8.
The three districts affected are Dexter City, MiddlebUrg, and
Jackson, according to Supt. H. C. Secrest.
This move has been anticipated
for some time and is designed to
form a larger district, with
wider tax base and one in which
twelve years of instruction is of
fered.
This move will also make it
possible to improve facilities'at
t!e high school center, located
at Dexter City, so that it will
conform to new state standards
The grade schools at Jackson
and Middleburg will remain and
also facilities at those schools
will be improved.
The new district will be under
the direction of a board appoint
ed by the county board. The
name of the new district will be
dete^rnined by the new board
wb^n it has been officially in
stalled.
This is the first such move to
ward consolidation taken by the
Noble county system and there
will probably be several others
33 made in a similiar direction.

Election Board Declares
One Petition Is Invalid
One petition was declared invalid Tuesday by the Isoble
county Board of Elections following their check of all
petitions filed by the 102 candidates for the May 8 primary
here.
The petition was that of William H. Simonton for central
committeeman from precinct four in Caldwell.
Secretary of State Ted
Brown made the following
observation in a letter to the
election board:
"In regard to the petition of a
candidate for central committee,
who did not show the precinct
and the township of his declara
tion of candidacy, I believe that
under the provisions of Revised
Code Section 3513.07, the board
would be justified in refusing
the petition of such candidate
on the ground that it is impos
sible to determine the office for
which he desires to be a can
didate. In this instance, the
designation of the precinct is an
essential to the candidacy".
The election board reviewed
102 petitions and following this
action, that® will now be 101
candidates seeking nomination
or election in the forthcoming
primary.
Any candidate who so desires
will have until Saturday, Feb.
18 at 4:00 p. m., to withdraw his
petition of candidacy. Protests to
petitions must be filed with the
board by this time, too, Clerk
Harry G. Richcreek said.
Plans are being made to have
absent ballots for service men
by March 9. The ballots will be
certified to the local board by
Secretary Brown on Feb. 23.

the coveted Goodyear award as one of th-a 12 outstanding far
mers in the state of Ohio from Roy Grubb, left, representative
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. The presentation
was made at the regular meeting of the Caldwell Lions Club.
The board of supervisors of the Noble Soil Conservation
district has been competing in a contest on achievement with
other S. C. D. boards thru-out the state, sponsored by the Good
year company. A part of this contest included naming a farmer
coopcrator who did outstanding work in conservation for the
year. This honor went to John Lisak.
Some of the main factors considered were length of time
as a coopcrator: status of farming unit prior to becoming a
cooperator application of conservation practices, considering
degree of employment other than farming and interest in the
land.

This particularly applies where
