P a g e F o u r . - 'F riday , December 5,1947 two ' cfiilclren; A ir City' Moving' The trucks that will bring true postwar design to the highways o f America, Chevrolet’s new “ advance-design” line o f commercial vehicles, will be introduced to the trucking industry June 28 by Chevrolet dealers across the country. Incorporating a. variety o f new features that assure greater operating efficiency, load-carrying ability and highway safety, the new trucks are said, to be more rugged and durable than ever before. First units were built in Chevrolet’s Janesville (W is.) assembly plant, and were appropriately hailed. Here the “ Queen o f America’s Dairyland,” Miss Betty Gene Gardner, Ridge­ way, W is., christens the new vehicle as Gov. Oscar Rennebohm, Wisconsin’s chief executive (right), and R . W . Podlesak, Janesville plant manager, look on. ElectionBoard Recount Protest o f Mayor T. K. King, Fairfield, against an election board recount which denied him a seat on the Fairfield council, was carried to common pleas court Tuesday when he filed a a suit against Robert Kerwin, Fairfield, contesting Kerwin’s election to the council. A heai-ing on the action has been assigned for Dec. 29 by Judge F . L . Johnson. In the petition, filed fo r him by M, E. Schlafman, Dayton and Osborn lawyer, King claims Ker- wiu was not “ legally elected” be­ cause in the election board’s re­ count six ballots were held invalid. King was elected in the Nov. 4 vote count but lest his seat by one ballot in the recount eight days ago. The recount was demanded by William E. Sipe, who was de­ feated by one vote in the original count made by precinct officials, Kerwin, King and Sipe bad fin­ ished fifth , sixth and seventh, each one vote apart, in the twelve- man race for the council’s six seats. In the recount, Kerwin and Sipe were elected with 374 and 373 votes, respectively, and King was defeated by one vote, receiving '*i5 f*.£#« King claims the six ballots thrown out in the recount had er> accepted and counted by vil­ lage precinct judges, “ there be­ ing no question as to the intention o f the voter.” He claimed that in the board’s first official count, the same ballots were counted, but were rejected later by the board after a complaint on be­ half o f Kerwin. The petition charges that on two o f the ballots in question, the voter in each case had erased a mark before the name o f one o f the candidates, but that the bal­ lots were regular in all other as­ pects, the voter having designated six names by placing an “ X ” in black pencil before the names o f six candidates. He claimed that on four o f the ballots the voter in each case had blacked out with pencil a mark before the name o f one o f the candidaates hut that these ballots also were regular in other aspects. HospitalBoard Interviewing Architects Two architects from Spring- field and Columbus were inter­ viewed by Greene Memorial Hos­ pital building trustees at the Court House #Monday evening. The meeting was the first in a series o f interviews which the group plans to conduct before an architect fo r the new $950,000 hospital isi selected. Two more architects wiil be in­ terviewed Saturday evening and two again next Monday. Eight architects, including the two who appeared Monday, have applied with the board for interviews and others 'are expected, board members said, A ll interviews are by appointment only. The board employed Miss. Mari­ lyn Wilson, Xenia, as part-time clerk. The fou r trustees have filed applications for bonds in the amount o f $5,000 fo r each member but the bonds have not been returned. Members o f the board are My­ ron R. Fudge, Silvercreel; Twp., chairman; Frank W . Kendig, Xenia Twp., vice chairman; Dr. S. G. Ellis, Xenia physician, secre­ tary; and Walter C. Hiff, Cedar- ville contractor. Formal0KIs GivenHealth Dept.Merger Formal approval o f a plan whereby Dr. Gordon E. Savage, Xenia and Greene county public health commissioner, would also become health administrator for Fayette county has been given by the Greene county board of health. The health chief added, how­ ever, that several factors must still be ironed out before the set up becomes official. Members o f the Fayette county hoard o f health, who first pro­ posed the cooperative arrange­ ment, have also approved the plan. Extension o f Dr. Savage’s duties to include Fayette would make him head o f three health organizations since he administers the city and county departments here as separate^ units. The shaving a r r a n g e m e n t would in no way affect the auto­ nomy o f the Fayette health de­ partment. CountySchools ReceiveState QuarterlyFunds County Supt. S. O.
