SIXTY -N INTH YEAR N»>-44> 4* «■ 49 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 8 ,1946 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR r v GREENEGIVES REPUBLICANS BIG MAJORITY Greene county joined the state and the nation in maintaining a Repub­ lican majority for all candidates on that, ticket. The vote was from 3 to 2 to 2 to 1 in all the races. The high vote getters were Hugh Turn- bull o f this place in his ra'ce .for county commissioner. Congressman Clarenece J. Brown received. a sweeping victory over his opponent, Carl J. Ehl. Brown’s majority was over 3,500 in the county. Lowell Fess and County Auditor Jamees J. Curlett ’ each received leading votes, the latter not having any Demo­ cratic opposition. There were a number of local school levies, bond issues and one local option vote, in the-county Tu­ esday, and most all carried, yet the -official vote may change one or two where *the 65 per cent vote is re* quired. Xenia city school district voters favored a 2 -mill levy fo r five years by a vote o f 2115 to 503 and similar • tax levies for school purposes were approved in ■‘the following districts: Bath Twp. exempted; Beavercreek Twp.; Caesarcreek Twp.; Miami Twp.; Silvercrcek Twp'.; Spring Val- ll&y Twp.; Ross Twp.; and Sugar- creek Twp. Two county wide levies requiring 65 per cent majorities won approval, one a 1 mill levy to provide funds for county bridges and the other le­ vy o f .4 •o f a mill to ad!d finances o f the Greene County District Li­ brary. Fairfield village voted a 2 mill le- ■vy'for village purposes-and .a .3 mill levy fo r similar purposes passed in Clifton village. Osborn village vo­ ters favored adoption o f a charter, by a vote o f 492 to 312. In Jefferson Twp, school district voters agreed to issue $139,000' to improve and expand school facilit­ ies, the vote being 325 for and 100 against, but the controversial Xenia Twp. school consolidation may hinge on the official count. The favorable vote on this proposal, which includes a' $$50,000 bond issue to erect a con­ solidated grade school, was so close in the unofficial totals that it may have ,missed a '65 per cent approval by a scant few votes. Complete unofficials totals on ju- dicil races from Greene county: Boyd- 3199; Zimmerman 4122; Bell 4348; Duffy 2742; Jones 3541; Wi­ seman 3769. Cedarville voters approved a $35,- 000 bond issue to expand the village *sewage system imd build a disposal plant by a vote of 402 to 65 and ap­ parently voted dry on a number of issues submitted Under the local op­ tion law to ban the sale o f beer and wine in the village. Incomplete returns from 'Fairfield Osborn show that seven more levies received a majorit / of votes. In Osborn for the library levy, 446 for and -196 against, for the school levy, 538 fo r and 140 against, and for the Greene county bridge levy, 340 fo r and 252 against. In Fairfield for the library levy, 234 for and' 119 against, for the school levy 284 fo r and 102 against, for the street light levy, 351 for and 41 against, and for the Greene county bridge levy, 2h2 for and 103 against.

Brown swept the platter clean in the Sev­ enth District for congress. Being chairman o f the national campaign Icommittee he became a national fig­ ure by his radio political ^speeches and especially by his forum "debates with i opponents over the air.

Mr. Brown had been marked for slaughter by the CIO-PAC and the iDemocratic organizations in the dis- j trict. The vote speaks for itself.

Ed Foust Held Up A t Point o f Gun One o f the boldest robberies in this county took place some days ago when a lone bandit held up and rob­ bed Ed Foust in his garage on the farm and at the point of a revol­ ver demanded pocketbook and valu­ ables. The wallet contained $2,500 in checks and about $500 in currency. . Mr. Foust had just driven into the garage and stepped out o f the car when the stickup man demanded his money from behind, n the darkness it was impossible to get a good look at the party. The fellow immediately ran from the garage and disappear­ ed in tljc darkness. Sheriff Spahr was notofied immediately* but there was little or no direct clue although some unconfirmed evidence has been devel­ oped but has not led to. any arrests. Mr, Foust had concluded several business transactions after banking hours which accounted for the am­ ount of money being on his person at the time of attack.

President Tru­ man pcsonally took up the campaign af Congressman ' Slaughter . that brougt his defeat at the primary all because he would not always vote for New Deal legislation.
