On pajler, things add up to be pret·
ty even, with Meigs taking a slight
advantage in bench strength, while
W.C. evens it up with very consistent
pitching.
Meigs has a 19-3 record. They got
off to a strong start and finished
even stronger. The team just now is
reaching its peak, a very good sign.
Warren Champion owns a I!H
record, symbolic of playing good all
season long. Consistency has contributed greatly to its success.
we defeated one of the toughest
teams in the state during the
regiolllll finals, Akron Manchester, a
favorite to win the state this year.
Akron had the two ·'best" hurlers
in the state according to most
coaches.
Akron's coach made this comment
after the defeat; "It was just one of
those games when nothing went
right for us!" The Akron coach also
credited Warren Champion with
having a fine team.
we has a super-hitting cfub with
nine players who are all capable of
coming through its crucial situations. The team has aggressive
haserunners and have a lot of speed.

"Thank you

now very carefully wash the windows.''

Huge sectors of economy stalled
NEW ~ YORK (AP) The
American people have cracked
down so hard on spending and
borrowing that huge sectors of the
economy have stalled.
And while they received help from
the Federal Reserve Board, the
folks who restricted the supply of
credit, indications are strong that
even if credit had been available
consumers would have turned it
down.
They have slowed their spending
on cars, houses, appliances, fancy
vacations and the like, and the impact spreads out from there. You
can't, lor example, sell windshields
if people aren't buying cars.
Attitudes have changed. The '
philosophy of "buy now because
things will cosI more tomorrow" is
being replaced by the view that if
you don't forgo things today there
wlil indeed be no tomorrow.
A:l the once aggressive consumer
turns conservator, items that were

in fierce demand a short while ago

are now shunned. The consumer was
the driving force of the economy.
When he changed, the economy did
too.

proclaimed by some, others ask if
we're not being premature in the
assessment.
- They observe that spending
slowed only because people were

Business mirror
Car sales fell 30 percent in mid·
May, even though Ford and Chrysler
offered rebates to stimulate action.
Prime interest rates are plunging.
Price increases are slowing. Len- .
ders again are offering mortgage
money.
Rising stock prices reflect the
change. One Wall Streeter after
another is saying the same thing: It
begins to look as if the country is
going to straighten itself out. Wall
Street always looks for that.
But while that viewpoint is

denied the means. They didn't have
the money; the typical family of four
has lost 6. 7 percent of buying power
over the past 12 months.
·• 1'!Jey note as well that much of
the new hope is based largely on
political promises - promises as
meaningless for the future as they
were for the past. Promises, for instance, of a balanced budget.
The real test may be ahead, they
say. That's when the consumer,
taught through the years to accept
the good life as~ .!ight, might have

to accept the reality of a lower standard of living than he once enjoyed.
The road to economic stability, the
critics say, may require that people
use less of their available funds so
their savings might be steered into
rebuilding the ]lroduction facilities
of the country.
Given the proper incentives, such
as a good yield on those savings,
most Americans probably would be
willing to save. But, after postponing
the purchase of a house, for instance, millions of people might feel
they need one more shot at the good
life before they settle down.
Just as much discipline might be
needed in govenunent spending.
While the administration has
proclaimed a balanced budget lor
fisca l 1981, in reality' that balance
has been achieved only on paper.
And, just weeks after it was devised,
it might already have been tipped into the red.

Today's commentary

Opportunity available, even in troubled times
NEW YORK (AP) -Twelve years
ago Dan M. Krausse, tired of
working for others and seeing others
reap the rewards, quit his job as
head of Fort Worth's Champlin
Petroleum. "I had no idea what I'd
do," he says.
To some extent that was not true.
Acclaimed as a manager, his in·
stincts were entrpreneurial; he
knew that at age 42 he wished to
exercise them, and he knew also that
he was willing to take big but
calculated risks.
" I gave myself 12 months to think
and to do," he said. "If I struck out
I'd get a job." The job, he said, " was
my fallback position."
Dan Krausse hit a grandslam. In
little more than those 12 months he
devised a plan, arranged $12.5
million of credit, bought a refinery
and a mine, went public, repaid the
loan. And soon was in the black.

There is a lesson· in Krausse's experience. In his words, "There is
always opportunity, even in troubled
times, in times of uncertainty and
apprehension." But, he said, you
must take risks, sensible risks.
"Not reckless risks. Reckless
means taking a risk you can't
manage and hoping you can scrape
through."
Krausse's pace has slowed little
since 1969. Determined to "enhance
shareholder wealth at an ex·
traordinary rate," he has made his
Earth Resources Co~, one of the
nation's premier growth en·
terprises.
Compustat, a finn that analyses
business perfonnance, rates it the

past decade. Forbes magazine
ranked it first among all energy
companies in return on equity.

ROCK SPRINGS - The Meigs
Marauders softball squad departed
from Meigs High School at noon
today for the state tournament in ·
Ashland, Ohio. The Meigs gals
headed toward their destination af·
ter being sent on their way by the
Meigs faculty, student body, and
other well wishers.
Coach Rita Slavin's squad (19-3 )
will meet Warren Champion High
School (l!H) Friday at 5:30 at the
Ashland College Field.
Earlier this week, "Marauder
Mania" overcame Meigs High
School and one could just feel the entlmsiasm it generated just by
looking at the surrounding en·
vironment.
Maroon and gold posters or signs
decorated the school's hallways and
surrounded areas in support of the
talented Meigs girls. The sense of
unity has always been a key to sue-

cess and this "key to success" was
present all weeklong at Meigs LocaL
Spirit pins were displayed by
nearly all the student body and
maroon and gold school colors have
been flying high this week.
Not only has school spirit been
present, but also community spirit
was present, too.
The Girls' Athletic Association has
worked hard and given tremendous
support to its team. Among other
things the association bought the
girls matching shirts and shorts to
show its support and boost the team.
Area businessmen and businesses
have held immensely with financial
support along with the local alumni
associations.
The whole area including other
schools have given their support and
wish the Meigs girls and coaches the
best of luck. In return, Coach Slavin
and her team thanks eveyrone for
their support.

Burnside, lefty reliever
SAN DIEGO (AP)- Nobody ever
taught Cincinnati Reds left-bander
Sheldon Burnside how to pitch. So
far that hasn't mattered much.
Burnside, who was acquired by
the Reds from the Detroit Tigers of
the American League in return for
Champ Summers, brought a
sparkling ~ record and 0.50 earned
run average from Cincinnati's Class
AAA American Association farm
club in Indianapolis to the Reds last
week after right·handed starter Bill
Bonham was disabled by a sore
shoulder.
His presence means the Reds will
have an extra left·handed reliever
when they open a four·game series
against the San Diego Padres
tonight. Frank Pastore, f&gt;-2, will go
to the mound for Cincinnati against

Randy Jones, 4-2.
Burnside, 25, grew up in suburban
Toronto, where he found little com·
petition and little coach\ng.
"It was so easy/' he recalled. " It
was just, 'Give me the ball,' and I'd
always win. There wasn't much
coaching, except I learned a good
pickoff move.
"But I got into a few bad habits
pitching there. I've still got a weird
delivery because nobody ever taught
me the right way. Agood description
of me is that I'm all annsandlegs."
Burnside didn't play high school
hall because his school didn't have a
team. But the Detroit Tigers were
impressed with his semi-pro per·
fonnance and signed him as a free
agent in 1975.

WAsffiNGTON (AP) - If Senate
Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd has
trouble sleeping, he might consider
counting senators instead of sheep.
In a floor speech the other day, the
West Virginia Democrat passed
a)ong the fruits of a research project
inspired by Edmund S. Muskie's
departure from the Senate to
become secretary of state.
Byrd informed the chamber that
Muskie's appointed successor,
Maine Democrat George Mitchell,
"was the 1,735th Uliite&lt;l States
senator.''
"This figure, " Byrd elaborated,
"includes all of the senators in the
United States, going back to the year
1789, when the first Senate met, and
continuing through this'llay."
He.said the Library of Congress,
using a computer, had tabulated all
the names in alphabetical order for
him. ·
By_rd then asked - and received -

unanimous consent of the Senate to
have all 1,735 present and fonner
senators listed in the Congressional
Record.
The list took up seven pages in the
next day's record - at a printing
cost to taxpayers of about $3,1100 -

old timers, the House invited them
into the chamber.
Seventy-two showed up for the
ceremony honoring fonner members, including Peter A. Peyser of
New York .
Of the 72, Peyser was the only one

In Washington
and demonstrated at least one thing:
"I call atten'uon to the fact," Bryd
told tl)e Senate, "that Mr. (Edward)
Zorinsky (0-Neb.) is the only
senator who served whose nljme
begins with a Z."
The House went Byrd one step furtqer the sa.me day. Instead of listing

who could also call himself a present
member and who could sit on either
the Demcoratic or Rep\lblican side
of the chamber.
" I enjoyed being a Republican for
six years and now I have returned as
a Democrat from the same district,"

"Thank you

now very carefully wash the windows.''

Huge sectors of economy stalled
NEW ~ YORK (AP) The
American people have cracked
down so hard on spending and
borrowing that huge sectors of the
economy have stalled.
And while they received help from
the Federal Reserve Board, the
folks who restricted the supply of
credit, indications are strong that
even if credit had been available
consumers would have turned it
down.
They have slowed their spending
on cars, houses, appliances, fancy
vacations and the like, and the impact spreads out from there. You
can't, lor example, sell windshields
if people aren't buying cars.
Attitudes have changed. The '
philosophy of "buy now because
things will cosI more tomorrow" is
being replaced by the view that if
you don't forgo things today there
wlil indeed be no tomorrow.
A:l the once aggressive consumer
turns conservator, items that were

in fierce demand a short while ago

are now shunned. The consumer was
the driving force of the economy.
When he changed, the economy did
too.

proclaimed by some, others ask if
we're not being premature in the
assessment.
- They observe that spending
slowed only because people were

Business mirror
Car sales fell 30 percent in mid·
May, even though Ford and Chrysler
offered rebates to stimulate action.
Prime interest rates are plunging.
Price increases are slowing. Len- .
ders again are offering mortgage
money.
Rising stock prices reflect the
change. One Wall Streeter after
another is saying the same thing: It
begins to look as if the country is
going to straighten itself out. Wall
Street always looks for that.
But while that viewpoint is

denied the means. They didn't have
the money; the typical family of four
has lost 6. 7 percent of buying power
over the past 12 months.
·• 1'!Jey note as well that much of
the new hope is based largely on
political promises - promises as
meaningless for the future as they
were for the past. Promises, for instance, of a balanced budget.
The real test may be ahead, they
say. That's when the consumer,
taught through the years to accept
the good life as~ .!ight, might have

to accept the reality of a lower standard of living than he once enjoyed.
The road to economic stability, the
critics say, may require that people
use less of their available funds so
their savings might be steered into
rebuilding the ]lroduction facilities
of the country.
Given the proper incentives, such
as a good yield on those savings,
most Americans probably would be
willing to save. But, after postponing
the purchase of a house, for instance, millions of people might feel
they need one more shot at the good
life before they settle down.
Just as much discipline might be
needed in govenunent spending.
While the administration has
proclaimed a balanced budget lor
fisca l 1981, in reality' that balance
has been achieved only on paper.
And, just weeks after it was devised,
it might already have been tipped into the red.

Today's commentary

Opportunity available, even in troubled times
NEW YORK (AP) -Twelve years
ago Dan M. Krausse, tired of
working for others and seeing others
reap the rewards, quit his job as
head of Fort Worth's Champlin
Petroleum. "I had no idea what I'd
do," he says.
To some extent that was not true.
Acclaimed as a manager, his in·
stincts were entrpreneurial; he
knew that at age 42 he wished to
exercise them, and he knew also that
he was willing to take big but
calculated risks.
" I gave myself 12 months to think
and to do," he said. "If I struck out
I'd get a job." The job, he said, " was
my fallback position."
Dan Krausse hit a grandslam. In
little more than those 12 months he
devised a plan, arranged $12.5
million of credit, bought a refinery
and a mine, went public, repaid the
loan. And soon was in the black.

There is a lesson· in Krausse's experience. In his words, "There is
always opportunity, even in troubled
times, in times of uncertainty and
apprehension." But, he said, you
must take risks, sensible risks.
"Not reckless risks. Reckless
means taking a risk you can't
manage and hoping you can scrape
through."
Krausse's pace has slowed little
since 1969. Determined to "enhance
shareholder wealth at an ex·
traordinary rate," he has made his
Earth Resources Co~, one of the
nation's premier growth en·
terprises.

ROCK SPRINGS - The Meigs
Marauders softball squad departed
from Meigs High School at noon
today for the state tournament in ·
Ashland, Ohio. The Meigs gals
headed toward their destination af·
ter being sent on their way by the
Meigs faculty, student body, and
other well wishers.
Coach Rita Slavin's squad (19-3 )
will meet Warren Champion High
School (l!H) Friday at 5:30 at the
Ashland College Field.
Earlier this week, "Marauder
Mania" overcame Meigs High
School and one could just feel the entlmsiasm it generated just by
looking at the surrounding en·
vironment.
Maroon and gold posters or signs
decorated the school's hallways and
surrounded areas in support of the
talented Meigs girls. The sense of
unity has always been a key to sue-

cess and this "key to success" was
present all weeklong at Meigs LocaL
Spirit pins were displayed by
nearly all the student body and
maroon and gold school colors have
been flying high this week.
Not only has school spirit been
present, but also community spirit
was present, too.
The Girls' Athletic Association has
worked hard and given tremendous
support to its team. Among other
things the association bought the
girls matching shirts and shorts to
show its support and boost the team.
Area businessmen and businesses
have held immensely with financial
support along with the local alumni
associations.
The whole area including other
schools have given their support and
wish the Meigs girls and coaches the
best of luck. In return, Coach Slavin
and her team thanks eveyrone for
their support.

Burnside, lefty reliever
SAN DIEGO (AP)- Nobody ever
taught Cincinnati Reds left-bander
Sheldon Burnside how to pitch. So
far that hasn't mattered much.
Burnside, who was acquired by
the Reds from the Detroit Tigers of
the American League in return for
Champ Summers, brought a
sparkling ~ record and 0.50 earned
run average from Cincinnati's Class
AAA American Association farm
club in Indianapolis to the Reds last
week after right·handed starter Bill
Bonham was disabled by a sore
shoulder.
His presence means the Reds will
have an extra left·handed reliever
when they open a four·game series
against the San Diego Padres
tonight. Frank Pastore, f&gt;-2, will go
to the mound for Cincinnati against

Randy Jones, 4-2.
Burnside, 25, grew up in suburban
Toronto, where he found little com·
petition and little coach\ng.
"It was so easy/' he recalled. " It
was just, 'Give me the ball,' and I'd
always win. There wasn't much
coaching, except I learned a good
pickoff move.
"But I got into a few bad habits
pitching there. I've still got a weird
delivery because nobody ever taught
me the right way. Agood description
of me is that I'm all annsandlegs."
Burnside didn't play high school
hall because his school didn't have a
team. But the Detroit Tigers were
impressed with his semi-pro per·
fonnance and signed him as a free
agent in 1975.

WAsffiNGTON (AP) - If Senate
Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd has
trouble sleeping, he might consider
counting senators instead of sheep.
In a floor speech the other day, the
West Virginia Democrat passed
a)ong the fruits of a research project
inspired by Edmund S. Muskie's
departure from the Senate to
become secretary of state.
Byrd informed the chamber that
Muskie's appointed successor,
Maine Democrat George Mitchell,
"was the 1,735th Uliite&lt;l States
senator.''
"This figure, " Byrd elaborated,
"includes all of the senators in the
United States, going back to the year
1789, when the first Senate met, and
continuing through this'llay."
He.said the Library of Congress,
using a computer, had tabulated all
the names in alphabetical order for
him. ·
By_rd then asked - and received -

unanimous consent of the Senate to
have all 1,735 present and fonner
senators listed in the Congressional
Record.
The list took up seven pages in the
next day's record - at a printing
cost to taxpayers of about $3,1100 -

old timers, the House invited them
into the chamber.
Seventy-two showed up for the
ceremony honoring fonner members, including Peter A. Peyser of
New York .
Of the 72, Peyser was the only one

In Washington
and demonstrated at least one thing:
"I call atten'uon to the fact," Bryd
told tl)e Senate, "that Mr. (Edward)
Zorinsky (0-Neb.) is the only
senator who served whose nljme
begins with a Z."
The House went Byrd one step furtqer the sa.me day. Instead of listing

who could also call himself a present
member and who could sit on either
the Demcoratic or Rep\lblican side
of the chamber.
" I enjoyed being a Republican for
six years and now I have returned as
a Democrat from the same district,"

THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT:
1. ALLOWS PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTRIC GENERATING
FACILITIES BY ALLOWING, THROUGH LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
NON·PROFIT CORPORATIONS TO BECOME POLITICAL SUB·
DIVISIONS OF THE STATE TO OPERATE ELECTRIC UTILITIES.
THE ELECTRIC POWER. PRODUCED BY SUCH POLITICAL SUB·
DIVISIONS SHALL BE SOLD AT WHOLESALE RATES TO
MUNICIPALITIES FOR THEIR OWN USE OR FOR SALE AT
RETAIL. EXCESS POWER MAY BE SOLD TO ANY OTHER
·ELECTRIC UTILITY AT WHOLESALE, WITH OHIO UTILITIES
GIVEN FIRST PREFERENCE.
2. PERMITS THE LEGISLATURE TO PASS LAWS: !ALilEGOLAT·

TIONS. (B) LIMITING ADVERSE EFFECTS UPON OTHER

facilities require huge investments and wise management; nothing in fssue
I convinces Ohioans that such expenditures are prudent or that the public:
sector can effectively manage a modern electric generating project. Experience bas tauJ(ht us that when government operates a service monopoly,

but the result ·
For these reasons the defeat of Issue I Is urged.

A majority yes vote is necessary for passage. ·
YES

SHALL THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
BE ADOPTED?

NO

EXPLANATION OF ISSUE No. I (as prepared by the Ohio Ballot Board)
1. This amendment would allow non-profit corporations, through legislative action, to become political subdivisions of the state to generate
electric power. This power may only be sold at wholesale to municipalities. If excess power is generated, it may be sold to any other electric
utility, public or private, with Ohio utilities given first preference.
2. The legislature will decide the methods by which these political subdivisions will be formed and the rules under which they will operate.
3. The amendment would authorize passage of laws that provide for these
political subdivisions to issue bonds and other securitieq to finance,
acquire, and operate their facilities. While taxes may not be pledged to
secure the bonds, the amendment does not prohibit the use of taxes to
pay some or all of the obligation.
The amendment prohibits these political subdivisions from using the
authority of the state to take over any property of existing electric
companies.
5. Certain constitutional limitations regarding public debt and the use of
public funds wou)d not apply to such political subdivisions.
ARGUMENT FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
NEW ENERGY FOR OHIO THROUGH COOPERATIVE ACTION
State Issue One offers every Ohioan the opportunity to do something
positive about the energy crisis.
In order to maintain the health of Ohio's business climate, attract new
industry, protect our tax base and provide new jobs, Ohio must double its
capacity to generate electricity by the year 2000.
That means all segments of the state's power industry must cooperate
to meet our cur rent and future energy needs.
• State Issue One ... will permit Ohio's 83 municipal elac:trlc ayatema
to do what investor-owned utilities, rural electric cooperatives and
cities in more than 30 other states can do ... td Jolnlly build elac:trlc
facUlties.
• State Issue One ... will Increase the use of Ohio coal by at least
2.5-million tons per year ... will aid Ohio in attracting and keeping
industry through competitive electric costs.
• State Issue One . . . wlll contribute to alabilila!ion of electric rat..
by financing new plant construction with tax-exempt revenue bonds
and delaying the need for investor-owned plant expansion.
• State Issue One .. . will save an expected $l·bllllon in electric rates
for the citizens of Ohio during the next 25 years.
• State Issue One ... will NOT increase taxes ... will NOT add new
taxes . . . will NOT Increase the debt of the State or any Ohio
municipality.
• State Issue One . . . wlll NOT add to the bureaucracy of the State.
The Ohio General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to place Issue One
on the June Primary ballot. Issue One is being supported by a non-partisan,
broad coalition of Ohioans representing business, labor, civic organizations,
governmental leaders and private citizens.
HELP SOLVE THE ENERGY CRISIS.
VOTE YES ON ISSUE ONE
NEW ENERGY FOR OHIO
Committee For the Amendment: Kenneth Cox, Mike Fox, Michael
Schwarzwalder, Mike S tinziano and
Tom Walsh
ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The passage of Issue I would promote yet another unwi~e gove~nmental
intrusion into an already over-regulated sector of economic activity- the
provision of electric utility service.
The idea of citizen-owned and operatt;d el~tr~c utilities to. the extent
to which that practice currently operates m Oh10, 1s sound and IS not under
attack by the opponents of Issue I.
.
But Issue I proposes, over-ambitiou~ly, ,b;y the .creation of .a quas.t-publlc
corporation to permit Ohio munictpalittes -m cooperation wtth. one
another- 'to launch into multi-million dollar po~er generating projects.
And that corporation would have the power to 1ssue bonds and assume
massive debt which would be required to build and operat.e an electric
enerating fac)lity. Such an arran~e!D:ent would be an unw1se departure
from a current C!lnstitutlol\al prohtb1t1on to prohibtt any municipality to
"loan ils credit to" any company or corporation: .
On at least two counts Issue I provi\les no satisfying answers. The lana e of Issue I provides no mechanism for the people, by referendum! to

EXPLANATION OF ISSUE No.2 (aa prepared by the Ohio Ballot Boarcll
1. The purpose of this amendment would be to allow a method of making
lower cost loans available for the acquisition, construction and improvement of privately owned housing in Ohio. A three-step procedure is
involved:
a. The state, counties, cities, and village,; would be permitted to borrow
money and Issue bonds or other obligations.
b. This money could then be loaned only to residential mortgage lenders
or brokers (such as banks, savings and loan associations, and mortgage companies).
c. The mortgage lenders or· brokers may then loan the money for
acquisition, improvement and construction of privately owned housIng for personS of low and moderate incomes.
2. The amendment pennits the legislature to pass laws regulating the
method by which the state, counties, cities, and villages may borrow
money and issue tax-exempt bonds and other obligations to raise funds
to achieve these purposes.
3. Moneys raised by taxation may not be legally pledged for payment of
the bonds or guarantees. The amendment does not prohibit the use of
tax moneys to assist repayment of the governmental unit's obligations.
ARGUMENT FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
Ohio's citizens deserve a positive, aggressive approach by its state government to ensure housing for its low and moderate income residents.
,··'
Witness · today's housing market:
-Mortgage rates are over 16%
-New home loans in Ohio are down $500 million over a year ago
-The Housing construction industry, which means jobs for our citizens,
is depressed.
The net effect of all this is that most Ohioans cannot afford to buy a new
home.
Issue 2 would alter Ohio's Constitution to permit Ohio to use ils credit
resources to extend mortgage arrangements to its citizens at a cost lower
than private-lending institutions.
The need for the passage of Issue 2 is evident In 1979, the average house
was selling at the Inflated price of $63,800, and thil! translates into a soberIng monthly mortgage payment of $637, based on a 13 percent interest rate
that is no longer available. The terms of today's mortgage rates are clearly
unal!ordable and unacceptable to average-income Ohioans.
The overall effect of this situation is staggering. As inflation saps purchasing power, Americans must conti11ue to draw down their savings.
Saving for a home, which ideally is the first priority of many people,
realistically has given way to meeting everyday living costs.
Interest rates charged by private lenders are a discouragement to prospective home-buyers. The impact of these Interest rates Is felt not only by
the poor and near poor, but also by moderate Income families. At the
same time, there Is a substantial stock of housing available, particularly in
central cities, that can be re-introduced into the housing market. What is
needed Is a mechanism to provide financial assistance.
In 1977, forty-one states had bona fide state housing finance agencies.
Ohio and Ohioans deserve no less.
Vote for Issue 2.
Committee For the Amendment: William Bowen, Richard Maier,
Kinsey Milleson, Edward Orlett and
Paul Pfeifer

.

ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
It Is not a function of the government of the State of Ohio to provide
low cost financing for the purchase or remodeling of homes by low and
middle income families. Mald.ng low interest money available to those
regularly engaged In the residential mortgage loan business will simply
create another level of government bureaucracy to hinder more than help
the free market place.
Intervention Into the free market place by the government in the manner
prescribed by this proposal is another step closer to total government control of the economy and one step closer to Socialism.
Owning a home Is a desirable goal for every American. This goal can
best be achieved by creating incentives in the 'Private sector through Interest Income exemption to those who finance homes for low and middle
income persops. Interest income from home mortgages could be treated
the same as Income from municipal and state bonds In order to bring
about lower interest rates.
·
Infiatlon tan only be controlled when government limits Its power and
authority to spend-this constitutional amendment would not be conslatent
with this philosophy.
This plan .is nothing more than a ruse to take advantage of existing
internal revenue laws by using the state or local governmental unit to
provide low interest tax free bond money .for housing.
The voters have recently expressed their distaste for this type of pro.posal on the part of the state. The potential for abuse is staggering, not
only due to political currents, but also due to sheer lack of experience In
this type of venture.
The proposed changes to the Constitution spring from well Intentioned
motives held by a grea:t. many citizens of. this stste who recognize thf! need
for the revitalization .a nd constuction of housing, but this method of doing
so is Ill-advised.
Committee Against the Amendment: Larry Manahan

EXPLANATION OF ISSUE No.. 3 (u prepared by the Ohio Ballot Boudl
1. This amendment would allow the legislature to authorize the issuance
of bonds and notes for the construction; restoration, or other permanent
improvements of bridges, highways, roads, streets, and highway rest
areas, for the elimination of railroad grade crn&lt;sings, and for the related
J estate.
acquisition and pennanent improvement of.
2. The amendment would impose two limitations on the amount of bonds
and notes that could be issued. The firat limitation would prevent the
Issuance of more than two hundred ntillion dollars ($200,000,000) of
bonds and notes in any fiscal year, ·not including any bonds or notes
Issued to refund or retire bonds or notes.that had. been issued earlier.
The second limitation would prevent,the .issuance of · ·e bonds and
notes than could be paid from the fall&lt;Ill'ing -sources: 1• •I the existing
gasoline tax levied by section 5728.16. oHhe.Ohio Revised Code, (B) the
existing tax levied on commercial veltides with three or more axles,
and (C) any federal grants or subsidieS .for the payment of any highway
bonds and notes. Previously issued bonds.or ·notes which are to be paid
from moneys or securities earmarked fol their payment are not subject
to this limitation.
3. These bonds shall have a maturity bas · on the life usefulness of the
improvements, up to a maximum of · {30) years. The authority to
Issue such bonds does not expire.
4. The proposed amendment exempls these bonds and notes from certain
CODBtitutional restrictions on debt. Th · •bonds and notes will be gen.,..1 obliaAtlonc b=kod by

NEW TAXES, AND THE BONDS WO ·
BE PAID OUT OF THE
PRESENT DEBT SERVICE FUND EARMARKED FOR THE REPAY"'
MENT OF PREVIOUS BOND ISSUES VOTED FOR BY THE ELECTORS
IN 1964 AND 1968.
The Highway Bond refe'rendum will allo\11 the state to use these existing
earmarked funds which includes one-cent of gasoline tax plus the axle mile
tax paid by trucks 1 to create a carefully controlled state funding method
for the purpose of matching federal-aid road-funds.
AS THINGS NOW STAND, OVER $450· MILLION IN AVAILABLE
FEDERAL ROAD FUNDS CANNOT BE USED IN OHIO BECAUSE '!'HE
STATE'S MATCHING SHARE DOES NOT EXIST. IT IS THE PURPOSE
OF THIS REFERENDUM TO ASSURE THE USE OF THOSE FEDE;RAL
FUNDS ON OHIO ROADS AND BRIDGES.· . · .
For over 25 years, highway bond issu.eS have saved Ohioans millions
of dollars by furnishing available instant funds for the timely construction
of the Interstate and Primary road systems. ·
THIS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT · WOULD NOT PERMIT
THE ISSUANCE OF MORE THAN $200; MlLI;ION IN BONDS IN ANY
ONE YEAR. IT WOULD NOT PERMLT THF. ISSUANCE OF BONDS OR
NOTIS THAT THE DEBT SERVICE FUND· -::OULD NOT REPAY. THE
LEGISLATURE RETAINS THE AUTHORL Y TO REVIEW THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S .'REQUEST FOR BOND FUNDS
IN EACH BIENNIUM.
.
WlDLE NO IMMEDIATE GASOLINE-TAX INCREASE WOULD BE

FULL TEXT OF THE RESOLUTIONS
PROPOSING EACH AMENDMENT

Committee For the Amendment: Arthur·Bbwers, Tom Johnson, Donald
Lukens, and Harry .Meshel
ABGOMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED·.AMEHDMENT
laue 3, a proposal allowing the state to ·sell bonds for highway construction must be defeated! This proposal jeopardizes the financial well-being
of the atate treasury by overextending current revenues.
·
Too many unanswered questions surround·tbls issue for it to be passed
by the voters and included in our state Constitution. For instance:
• Iasue pr.aponents assume that gaa ·tax ·revenues will remain constant
for the next ten years so that bonds aan -b e ·repaid by a combination
ol axle-mile tax and ·1; of the star., gas.1 ax. Gas consumption and
gas tax revenues, however, have been ·a eclinlng due to high gas
prices, supply shortages, and more,.elllclent ~ars. It is irresponsible
to base the state's ability to pay• ack •. e bonds on a declining
revenue source.
•
• Ohio's bond rating has been lo~red. · . 'fhis means higher lntere.s t
rates on bond sales. It is foolish io• elqteet bond rates to remam
atable and thus affordable in this tfine of· excessive inflation.
• If gas tax revenues decline and bond rates continue to ,increase, this
proposal will cut even deeper llito&gt;thEi .dollars needed by the Ohio
Department of Transportation foJ; :lta da!Iy operations.
• Ohio's roads need · massive repair work ' This proposal would not
solve the problems of repair and ~facl.ng affecting our highways.
• Among the assumptions surroundimi ~e 3, one fact stands out:
this proposal costs too much for· what it;ls worth. Ohioans would
pay a total $2.6 billion for only $i.~ billion In actual road improvements!
·
;
• Issue 3 must be defeated becauae:it•is. ilnanc:lally unsound. Long- .
term debt increases long-term coati[. .T!Ua Is a price that .Ohioans
cannot alford tO pay.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
To adopt Section 14 pf Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution

THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT:
1. ALLOWS PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTRIC GENERATING
FACILITIES BY ALLOWING, THROUGH LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
NON·PROFIT CORPORATIONS TO BECOME POLITICAL SUB·
DIVISIONS OF THE STATE TO OPERATE ELECTRIC UTILITIES.
THE ELECTRIC POWER. PRODUCED BY SUCH POLITICAL SUB·
DIVISIONS SHALL BE SOLD AT WHOLESALE RATES TO
MUNICIPALITIES FOR THEIR OWN USE OR FOR SALE AT
RETAIL. EXCESS POWER MAY BE SOLD TO ANY OTHER
·ELECTRIC UTILITY AT WHOLESALE, WITH OHIO UTILITIES
GIVEN FIRST PREFERENCE.
2. PERMITS THE LEGISLATURE TO PASS LAWS: !ALilEGOLAT·
lNG SUCH POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AND THEm OPERA·
TIONS. (B) LIMITING ADVERSE EFFECTS UPON OTHER
ELECTRIC UTILITIES AND PRESERVING FAIR COMPETITIVE
RELATIONSHIPS. AND (C) ALLOWING SUCH A POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION TO BE TAXED.
3. ALLOWS SUCH POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS TO ISSUE BONDS
TO FINANCE, ACQUIRE, AND OPERATE THEIR FACILITIES.
TAX MONEY SHALL NOT BE PLEDGED, BUT MAY BE USED.
FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS.
PROHIBITS THESE POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS FROM USING
THE AUTHORITY OF THE STATE TO TAKE OVER ANY PROP·
ERTY OF EXISTING ELECTRIC COMPANIES.
5. EXEMPTS THE BONDS, AGREEMENTS, PAYMENTS. AND
SALES OF SUCH POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS FROM OHIO
CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS RELATING TO DEBT. LEND·
lNG CREDIT, AND MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OWNERSHIP
OF A UTILITY AND SALE OF ITS SURPLUS ELECTRIC POWER.

facilities require huge investments and wise management; nothing in fssue
I convinces Ohioans that such expenditures are prudent or that the public:
sector can effectively manage a modern electric generating project. Experience bas tauJ(ht us that when government operates a service monopoly,
for example, the U. S. Postal Service, good service at a low cost is anything
but the result ·
For these reasons the defeat of Issue I Is urged.

Section 14 (or 15) of Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution

A majority yes vote is necessary for passage. ·
YES

SHALL THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
BE ADOPTED?

NO

EXPLANATION OF ISSUE No. I (as prepared by the Ohio Ballot Board)
1. This amendment would allow non-profit corporations, through legislative action, to become political subdivisions of the state to generate
electric power. This power may only be sold at wholesale to municipalities. If excess power is generated, it may be sold to any other electric
utility, public or private, with Ohio utilities given first preference.
2. The legislature will decide the methods by which these political subdivisions will be formed and the rules under which they will operate.
3. The amendment would authorize passage of laws that provide for these
political subdivisions to issue bonds and other securitieq to finance,
acquire, and operate their facilities. While taxes may not be pledged to
secure the bonds, the amendment does not prohibit the use of taxes to
pay some or all of the obligation.
The amendment prohibits these political subdivisions from using the
authority of the state to take over any property of existing electric
companies.
5. Certain constitutional limitations regarding public debt and the use of
public funds wou)d not apply to such political subdivisions.
ARGUMENT FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
NEW ENERGY FOR OHIO THROUGH COOPERATIVE ACTION
State Issue One offers every Ohioan the opportunity to do something
positive about the energy crisis.
In order to maintain the health of Ohio's business climate, attract new
industry, protect our tax base and provide new jobs, Ohio must double its
capacity to generate electricity by the year 2000.
That means all segments of the state's power industry must cooperate
to meet our cur rent and future energy needs.
• State Issue One ... will permit Ohio's 83 municipal elac:trlc ayatema
to do what investor-owned utilities, rural electric cooperatives and
cities in more than 30 other states can do ... td Jolnlly build elac:trlc
facUlties.
• State Issue One ... will Increase the use of Ohio coal by at least
2.5-million tons per year ... will aid Ohio in attracting and keeping
industry through competitive electric costs.
• State Issue One . . . wlll contribute to alabilila!ion of electric rat..
by financing new plant construction with tax-exempt revenue bonds
and delaying the need for investor-owned plant expansion.
• State Issue One .. . will save an expected $l·bllllon in electric rates
for the citizens of Ohio during the next 25 years.
• State Issue One ... will NOT increase taxes ... will NOT add new
taxes . . . will NOT Increase the debt of the State or any Ohio
municipality.
• State Issue One . . . wlll NOT add to the bureaucracy of the State.
The Ohio General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to place Issue One
on the June Primary ballot. Issue One is being supported by a non-partisan,
broad coalition of Ohioans representing business, labor, civic organizations,
governmental leaders and private citizens.
HELP SOLVE THE ENERGY CRISIS.
VOTE YES ON ISSUE ONE
NEW ENERGY FOR OHIO
Committee For the Amendment: Kenneth Cox, Mike Fox, Michael
Schwarzwalder, Mike S tinziano and
Tom Walsh
ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The passage of Issue I would promote yet another unwi~e gove~nmental
intrusion into an already over-regulated sector of economic activity- the
provision of electric utility service.
The idea of citizen-owned and operatt;d el~tr~c utilities to. the extent
to which that practice currently operates m Oh10, 1s sound and IS not under
attack by the opponents of Issue I.
.
But Issue I proposes, over-ambitiou~ly, ,b;y the .creation of .a quas.t-publlc
corporation to permit Ohio munictpalittes -m cooperation wtth. one
another- 'to launch into multi-million dollar po~er generating projects.
And that corporation would have the power to 1ssue bonds and assume
massive debt which would be required to build and operat.e an electric
enerating fac)lity. Such an arran~e!D:ent would be an unw1se departure
from a current C!lnstitutlol\al prohtb1t1on to prohibtt any municipality to
"loan ils credit to" any company or corporation: .
On at least two counts Issue I provi\les no satisfying answers. The lana e of Issue I provides no mechanism for the people, by referendum! to

EXPLANATION OF ISSUE No.2 (aa prepared by the Ohio Ballot Boarcll
1. The purpose of this amendment would be to allow a method of making
lower cost loans available for the acquisition, construction and improvement of privately owned housing in Ohio. A three-step procedure is
involved:
a. The state, counties, cities, and village,; would be permitted to borrow
money and Issue bonds or other obligations.
b. This money could then be loaned only to residential mortgage lenders
or brokers (such as banks, savings and loan associations, and mortgage companies).
c. The mortgage lenders or· brokers may then loan the money for
acquisition, improvement and construction of privately owned housIng for personS of low and moderate incomes.
2. The amendment pennits the legislature to pass laws regulating the
method by which the state, counties, cities, and villages may borrow
money and issue tax-exempt bonds and other obligations to raise funds
to achieve these purposes.
3. Moneys raised by taxation may not be legally pledged for payment of
the bonds or guarantees. The amendment does not prohibit the use of
tax moneys to assist repayment of the governmental unit's obligations.
ARGUMENT FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
Ohio's citizens deserve a positive, aggressive approach by its state government to ensure housing for its low and moderate income residents.
,··'
Witness · today's housing market:
-Mortgage rates are over 16%
-New home loans in Ohio are down $500 million over a year ago
-The Housing construction industry, which means jobs for our citizens,
is depressed.
The net effect of all this is that most Ohioans cannot afford to buy a new
home.
Issue 2 would alter Ohio's Constitution to permit Ohio to use ils credit
resources to extend mortgage arrangements to its citizens at a cost lower
than private-lending institutions.
The need for the passage of Issue 2 is evident In 1979, the average house
was selling at the Inflated price of $63,800, and thil! translates into a soberIng monthly mortgage payment of $637, based on a 13 percent interest rate
that is no longer available. The terms of today's mortgage rates are clearly
unal!ordable and unacceptable to average-income Ohioans.
The overall effect of this situation is staggering. As inflation saps purchasing power, Americans must conti11ue to draw down their savings.
Saving for a home, which ideally is the first priority of many people,
realistically has given way to meeting everyday living costs.
Interest rates charged by private lenders are a discouragement to prospective home-buyers. The impact of these Interest rates Is felt not only by
the poor and near poor, but also by moderate Income families. At the
same time, there Is a substantial stock of housing available, particularly in
central cities, that can be re-introduced into the housing market. What is
needed Is a mechanism to provide financial assistance.
In 1977, forty-one states had bona fide state housing finance agencies.
Ohio and Ohioans deserve no less.
Vote for Issue 2.
Committee For the Amendment: William Bowen, Richard Maier,
Kinsey Milleson, Edward Orlett and
Paul Pfeifer

.

ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
It Is not a function of the government of the State of Ohio to provide
low cost financing for the purchase or remodeling of homes by low and
middle income families. Mald.ng low interest money available to those
regularly engaged In the residential mortgage loan business will simply
create another level of government bureaucracy to hinder more than help
the free market place.
Intervention Into the free market place by the government in the manner
prescribed by this proposal is another step closer to total government control of the economy and one step closer to Socialism.
Owning a home Is a desirable goal for every American. This goal can
best be achieved by creating incentives in the 'Private sector through Interest Income exemption to those who finance homes for low and middle
income persops. Interest income from home mortgages could be treated
the same as Income from municipal and state bonds In order to bring
about lower interest rates.
·
Infiatlon tan only be controlled when government limits Its power and
authority to spend-this constitutional amendment would not be conslatent
with this philosophy.
This plan .is nothing more than a ruse to take advantage of existing
internal revenue laws by using the state or local governmental unit to
provide low interest tax free bond money .for housing.
The voters have recently expressed their distaste for this type of pro.posal on the part of the state. The potential for abuse is staggering, not
only due to political currents, but also due to sheer lack of experience In
this type of venture.
The proposed changes to the Constitution spring from well Intentioned
motives held by a grea:t. many citizens of. this stste who recognize thf! need
for the revitalization .a nd constuction of housing, but this method of doing
so is Ill-advised.
Committee Against the Amendment: Larry Manahan

EXPLANATION OF ISSUE No.. 3 (u prepared by the Ohio Ballot Boudl
1. This amendment would allow the legislature to authorize the issuance
of bonds and notes for the construction; restoration, or other permanent
improvements of bridges, highways, roads, streets, and highway rest
areas, for the elimination of railroad grade crn&lt;sings, and for the related
J estate.
acquisition and pennanent improvement of.
2. The amendment would impose two limitations on the amount of bonds
and notes that could be issued. The firat limitation would prevent the
Issuance of more than two hundred ntillion dollars ($200,000,000) of
bonds and notes in any fiscal year, ·not including any bonds or notes
Issued to refund or retire bonds or notes.that had. been issued earlier.
The second limitation would prevent,the .issuance of · ·e bonds and
notes than could be paid from the fall&lt;Ill'ing -sources: 1• •I the existing
gasoline tax levied by section 5728.16. oHhe.Ohio Revised Code, (B) the
existing tax levied on commercial veltides with three or more axles,
and (C) any federal grants or subsidieS .for the payment of any highway
bonds and notes. Previously issued bonds.or ·notes which are to be paid
from moneys or securities earmarked fol their payment are not subject
to this limitation.
3. These bonds shall have a maturity bas · on the life usefulness of the
improvements, up to a maximum of · {30) years. The authority to
Issue such bonds does not expire.
4. The proposed amendment exempls these bonds and notes from certain
CODBtitutional restrictions on debt. Th · •bonds and notes will be gen.,..1 obliaAtlonc b=kod by

~he

credit and ravenu1&gt;s of the state.

ABGUMENT FOR THE PROPOSED AM
ENT
THE NEW HIGHWAY BOND ISSUE
ULD NOT REQUffiE ANY
NEW TAXES, AND THE BONDS WO ·
BE PAID OUT OF THE
PRESENT DEBT SERVICE FUND EARMARKED FOR THE REPAY"'
MENT OF PREVIOUS BOND ISSUES VOTED FOR BY THE ELECTORS
IN 1964 AND 1968.
The Highway Bond refe'rendum will allo\11 the state to use these existing
earmarked funds which includes one-cent of gasoline tax plus the axle mile
tax paid by trucks 1 to create a carefully controlled state funding method
for the purpose of matching federal-aid road-funds.
AS THINGS NOW STAND, OVER $450· MILLION IN AVAILABLE
FEDERAL ROAD FUNDS CANNOT BE USED IN OHIO BECAUSE '!'HE
STATE'S MATCHING SHARE DOES NOT EXIST. IT IS THE PURPOSE
OF THIS REFERENDUM TO ASSURE THE USE OF THOSE FEDE;RAL
FUNDS ON OHIO ROADS AND BRIDGES.· . · .
For over 25 years, highway bond issu.eS have saved Ohioans millions
of dollars by furnishing available instant funds for the timely construction
of the Interstate and Primary road systems. ·
THIS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT · WOULD NOT PERMIT
THE ISSUANCE OF MORE THAN $200; MlLI;ION IN BONDS IN ANY
ONE YEAR. IT WOULD NOT PERMLT THF. ISSUANCE OF BONDS OR
NOTIS THAT THE DEBT SERVICE FUND· -::OULD NOT REPAY. THE
LEGISLATURE RETAINS THE AUTHORL Y TO REVIEW THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S .'REQUEST FOR BOND FUNDS
IN EACH BIENNIUM.
.
WlDLE NO IMMEDIATE GASOLINE-TAX INCREASE WOULD BE
NEEDED TO FINANCE THIS PROPOS.Ai.,. the highway and bridge improvements would save Ohio drivers a billion dollars or more over the

FULL TEXT OF THE RESOLUTIONS
PROPOSING EACH AMENDMENT

Committee For the Amendment: Arthur·Bbwers, Tom Johnson, Donald
Lukens, and Harry .Meshel
ABGOMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED·.AMEHDMENT
laue 3, a proposal allowing the state to ·sell bonds for highway construction must be defeated! This proposal jeopardizes the financial well-being
of the atate treasury by overextending current revenues.
·
Too many unanswered questions surround·tbls issue for it to be passed
by the voters and included in our state Constitution. For instance:
• Iasue pr.aponents assume that gaa ·tax ·revenues will remain constant
for the next ten years so that bonds aan -b e ·repaid by a combination
ol axle-mile tax and ·1; of the star., gas.1 ax. Gas consumption and
gas tax revenues, however, have been ·a eclinlng due to high gas
prices, supply shortages, and more,.elllclent ~ars. It is irresponsible
to base the state's ability to pay• ack •. e bonds on a declining
revenue source.
•
• Ohio's bond rating has been lo~red. · . 'fhis means higher lntere.s t
rates on bond sales. It is foolish io• elqteet bond rates to remam
atable and thus affordable in this tfine of· excessive inflation.
• If gas tax revenues decline and bond rates continue to ,increase, this
proposal will cut even deeper llito&gt;thEi .dollars needed by the Ohio
Department of Transportation foJ; :lta da!Iy operations.
• Ohio's roads need · massive repair work ' This proposal would not
solve the problems of repair and ~facl.ng affecting our highways.
• Among the assumptions surroundimi ~e 3, one fact stands out:
this proposal costs too much for· what it;ls worth. Ohioans would
pay a total $2.6 billion for only $i.~ billion In actual road improvements!
·
;
• Issue 3 must be defeated becauae:it•is. ilnanc:lally unsound. Long- .
term debt increases long-term coati[. .T!Ua Is a price that .Ohioans
cannot alford tO pay.
"''
'
• Vote against Issue 3. .

REGIONAL CHAMPS - Ralph Sayre, principal and atheltic director at Point Pleasant High School and
d1recto_r of Tuesday's Region VI Golf Tournament, presents Parkersburg golf coach Bob Dutton with the regional
champ.10nsh1p trophy. The Big Reds captured the Region VI golf title Tuesday afternoon by sliding by Wahama, 298310. Pictured above, from the left, are Joseph McFarland Jr., John Oplinger, Keith Joachim, Mike Baker, Mike
Rothwell, Dutton and Sayre. Ophlinger, Rothwell and McFarland each shot a 72 to lead Parkersburg's attack. Both
Parkersburg and Wahama will participate in the State Tournament June 2 at Parkersburg.

The Wahama High School golf
tea m, led by meda list Ty Roush,
earned a berth in the West Virginia
State Golf Tourn ament Tuesday by
claiming the run ner-up position in
the Region VI tournament held at
Riverside Golf Course in Mason.
Although edged out of the number
one position by the Parkersburg Big
Re ds, a West Vir ginia Inte rscholastic Activities Commission
rule allows for both teams t o
represent Region VI in the stat e
tournament.
In addition, two medalists (best
scorers! from the non-qualifyin~
schools will be eligible for state
tournament play on an individual
basis for medalist honors. Gilmer
County junior Scott Carney shot a 74
to capture non-qualifying medalist
honors for the third consecutive year
while Parkersburg South sophomore
Rick Drain captured his first non·
qualifying nod to the state tour·
nament with a 77 .
" This is quite a feat for such a

NEEDS
FOR BOTH MEN

young team," says Coach Gary
Fields of the White Falcon's third
consecutive state tournament bid.
" This was a rebuilding year for us
but the guys have really come
th rough ... they've worked hard and
they deserve this triumph."
Both Fields and Co ach Ph il
Goodnite agree that the Falcons
pla yed their best overall game of the
season during the regional event.
Roush, Wahama 's only senior and
the captain of the 1980 squad, shot a
70 to capture the medalist position ,
the highest honor in a golf tour·
nament. while the team combined
for a 309, its best score of the.season.
The lowest score the team had
posted prior to Tuesday was a 319.
In addition to Roush, Randy
Pierce shot a fin e game of golf with a
77 to tie with non-qualifying medalist
Drain. Todd Kitchen posted an 80
a nd J eff Fowler and Wally Raynes
each recorded an 83.
The Point Pleasant High School
golf team , coached by Lennie
Barnette, was also represented in
the regional tournament. Playing
for PPHS were Mike Howard, John
Wickline, John McDermitt, Herb
Stanley and David Perry.
Coach Fields notes a strong
parallel between this year's regional

tournament and the 1979 event. In
1979, Wahama claimed the regional
title and went on to fin ish second in
the state while Parkersburg went to
the state tournament as the Region
Vf' s num ber two t eam . Reluctant to
predict the outcome of the upcoming
state tournament , slated for Mon·
day, June 2, in Parkersburg, Fields
say' simply that " it's hard to say
about the state tournament. There
will be a lot of good golfing, that'&amp; for
s ure. We've got one of the best
golfers in the state in Tv (Roush)
and with all the colleges scouting
next Monday would be a good time
lor us to shoot wei!."
Fields did add, however, that
regardless of how his team fares in
the state tournament, just to be
among the 14 qualifyil)g teams is a
great honor. And when yo~ consider
the fact that most of the teams who
make the state tournament are
Class AAA schools and that Wahama
is just Class AA ... well, that is
something!
Point Pleasant High School
principal Ralph Sayre, serving as
director of the Region VI tour· ·
nament expressed his appreciation
to local coaches Fields, Goodnite
and Barnette for their assistance in
organizin g the event.

Islanders proud of Cup
By HAL BOCK
AP Sports Writer
WHEN THE MONTREAL
Canadiens win the Stanley Cup, as
they so frequently do, they parade
the National Hockey League's prize
silverware down the middle of Ste.
Catherines Street.
And when the Philadelphia Flyers
captured their two Cups, the victory
parades, appr.opriately, were right
down Broad Street. Boston's Bruins
delivered the Cup down Cambridge
Street to City Hall Plaza.
Now the New York Islanders own
the Cup and their celebration Wed·
nesday night was almost a private
affair - a motorcade of a mile or so
around the Nassau Coliseum arena
where they won the hardware. It
was a Long Island neighborhood
celebration, something like a block
. party - with 60,000 "neighbors"
: saluting the new champs.
If it had been the Rangers who had
won the Cup, you'd have seen a
tickertape parade down Broadway
at high noon.
AND THERE, IN large measure,
is the difference between New
York's 'two hockey teams. The
Rangers are big city, flamboyant,
skyscrapers surrounded by neon
lights, and the Islanders are subur·
barH:asual, split levels with a
modest backyard. They are light
years removed from each other in
style and substance and right now
the substance most important to the
Islanders is that handsome Stanley
Cup.
The Islanders won the Cup the
hard way. They were bending under
the burden of their history, having
bowed out of the playoffs the last two
seasons in major upset losses to the
Toronto Maple Leafs and their hated
rivals, the Rangers. Those losses
were indelibly carved in the psyche
of the team and so was the choke tag
that accompanied them.
Usually in sports, the choke
charge is whispered. After all, it's
not the kind of thing you advertise.
But in the case of the Islanders, it
was shouted and used to bait them.
' The temptation to break up the
club had to be th.ere but General
Manager Bill Torrey resisted it.
Even when the team played
medi,Oere hockey at.the start of the
season and floundered around the

.500 mark, Torrey refused to panic.
II is a tribute to the man's insight
that he did not rush into moves to
break up a team which he had
worked so carefully to construct.
EVENTUALLY, THE PATIENCE
paid off, but oniy after Torrey did
make 'one important trade. He swapped two players, Billy Harris and
Dave Lewis, to Los Angeles for But·
ch Goring and that proved to be the
catalyst for the Islanders. Goring
was the final piece of the puzzle and
when he arrived, the team
flourishetl.
·
Perhaps it was fear on the part of
the other players that they might be
next to go. Or maybe it was just coincidence. But the fact remains that
after Goring showed up, the !sian·

REGIONAL CHAMPS - Ralph Sayre, principal and atheltic director at Point Pleasant High School and
d1recto_r of Tuesday's Region VI Golf Tournament, presents Parkersburg golf coach Bob Dutton with the regional
champ.10nsh1p trophy. The Big Reds captured the Region VI golf title Tuesday afternoon by sliding by Wahama, 298310. Pictured above, from the left, are Joseph McFarland Jr., John Oplinger, Keith Joachim, Mike Baker, Mike
Rothwell, Dutton and Sayre. Ophlinger, Rothwell and McFarland each shot a 72 to lead Parkersburg's attack. Both
Parkersburg and Wahama will participate in the State Tournament June 2 at Parkersburg.

The Wahama High School golf
tea m, led by meda list Ty Roush,
earned a berth in the West Virginia
State Golf Tourn ament Tuesday by
claiming the run ner-up position in
the Region VI tournament held at
Riverside Golf Course in Mason.
Although edged out of the number
one position by the Parkersburg Big
Re ds, a West Vir ginia Inte rscholastic Activities Commission
rule allows for both teams t o
represent Region VI in the stat e
tournament.
In addition, two medalists (best
scorers! from the non-qualifyin~
schools will be eligible for state
tournament play on an individual
basis for medalist honors. Gilmer
County junior Scott Carney shot a 74
to capture non-qualifying medalist
honors for the third consecutive year
while Parkersburg South sophomore
Rick Drain captured his first non·
qualifying nod to the state tour·
nament with a 77 .
" This is quite a feat for such a

NEEDS
FOR BOTH MEN

young team," says Coach Gary
Fields of the White Falcon's third
consecutive state tournament bid.
" This was a rebuilding year for us
but the guys have really come
th rough ... they've worked hard and
they deserve this triumph."
Both Fields and Co ach Ph il
Goodnite agree that the Falcons
pla yed their best overall game of the
season during the regional event.
Roush, Wahama 's only senior and
the captain of the 1980 squad, shot a
70 to capture the medalist position ,
the highest honor in a golf tour·
nament. while the team combined
for a 309, its best score of the.season.
The lowest score the team had
posted prior to Tuesday was a 319.
In addition to Roush, Randy
Pierce shot a fin e game of golf with a
77 to tie with non-qualifying medalist
Drain. Todd Kitchen posted an 80
a nd J eff Fowler and Wally Raynes
each recorded an 83.
The Point Pleasant High School
golf team , coached by Lennie
Barnette, was also represented in
the regional tournament. Playing
for PPHS were Mike Howard, John
Wickline, John McDermitt, Herb
Stanley and David Perry.
Coach Fields notes a strong
parallel between this year's regional

tournament and the 1979 event. In
1979, Wahama claimed the regional
title and went on to fin ish second in
the state while Parkersburg went to
the state tournament as the Region
Vf' s num ber two t eam . Reluctant to
predict the outcome of the upcoming
state tournament , slated for Mon·
day, June 2, in Parkersburg, Fields
say' simply that " it's hard to say
about the state tournament. There
will be a lot of good golfing, that'&amp; for
s ure. We've got one of the best
golfers in the state in Tv (Roush)
and with all the colleges scouting
next Monday would be a good time
lor us to shoot wei!."
Fields did add, however, that
regardless of how his team fares in
the state tournament, just to be
among the 14 qualifyil)g teams is a
great honor. And when yo~ consider
the fact that most of the teams who
make the state tournament are
Class AAA schools and that Wahama
is just Class AA ... well, that is
something!
Point Pleasant High School
principal Ralph Sayre, serving as
director of the Region VI tour· ·
nament expressed his appreciation
to local coaches Fields, Goodnite
and Barnette for their assistance in
organizin g the event.

Randy Lerch was starting to f.eel
left out.
"I got skipped a fOUple of times
when I thought I should have pit·
ched," said the Philadelphia
Phillles' left-bander.
Part of the problem, of course,
was his disappointing ().6 record.
Manager Dallas Green said he had
"rested" Lerch the last 10 days
because he felt the pitcher was
playing with a lack of ·enthusiasm
and aggressiveness.
Apparently the rest helped. Lerch
was abundantly enthusiastic and
aggressive while pitching the
Phillies to a 11-3 decision over the Pit·
tsburgh Pirates Wednesday night
with ninth-iMing relief help from
RonR.eed.
·'He threw the heck out of the ball
tonight;" Green said. "Randy used
the inside of the plate more. He had
been working too much outside.''
Lerch really sparkled in the eighth
inning, when a single and double put
runners at second and third with
none out. Lerch then retired the side,
striking out Bill Robinson on a daz·
zling pitch.
"He was due to pitch a good
game," said Pittsburgh Manager
Chuck Tanner. "He's a good pitcher.
Give him credit."
Elsewhere In the National League,
the Houston Astros nipped the San
Diego Padres !-{); the Atlanta
Braves beat the San Francisco Gian·
Is 3-2 in 12 innings; the New York
Mets defeated the St. Louis Cardinala 6-5 and the Montreal Expos
and Chicago Cubs played to a 3-3 tie
in a game suspended after 10 innings
by darkness.
Lerch scattered 10 hits before
leaving with none out in the ninth af·
ter giving up Lee Lacy's two-run
homer, his second of the game. The
left-hander had fine fielding support
enroute to his first victory of the
season.
The victory boosted Philadelphia
back into first place in the NL East
over the Pirates by four percentage
points.
Astrosl, Padres 0
Nolan Ryan pitched a masterful
two-hitter to lead Houston over San
Diego. Ryan, who at one point
retired 12 straight batters, struck
out seven and walked five on the way
to his third victory of the season
against four losses.
The veteran right-hander yielded
only a third-inning double to Rick
Wise and an eighth-inning single to
Ozzle Smith.
The Astros scored their run on
Enos Cabell's RBI single in the
second.

Charboneau hits eighth homer
BALTIMORE (AP) - Joe Charboneau's home run was the most
spectacular hit of an eight-run
Cleveland rally, but it wasn't as
damaging as a pair of "seeing eye"
singles.

"A couple of little ground balls
that you can't do anything about,"
complained Baltimore Manager
Earl Weaver after the Orioles dropped a !().6 decision to the Indians
Wednesday night. " All you can do is
watch them go into the outfield."

The

Manager Dave Garcia of the In·
dlans conceded that three runs
during the rally and two more later
in the game all came on well-placed
hits barely out of reach of Baltimore
defenders. But he claimed they were
due.
"We've got a lot more of those
coming after all we've had against
us," Garcia reasoned.
Held to one hit by Jim Palmer, 4-3,
through the first four innings, the In·
dlans erupted in the fl!th while sen·
ding 13 batters to the plate.

ween Montreal and Chicago to be
suspended beca use of darkness. The
contest will be resumed at that point
when Montreal returns to Chicago in
August.
The darkness at the only major
league park wi010ut lights made
play difficult in the umpire's

opinion, and about 20 minutes after
they had suspended the game, the
area was drenched by a downpour.
The Expos sent the game into ex·
tra innings in the ninth when pinchhitter Jerry White hit a sacrUice fiy
to drive in pinch-runner Tony Ber·
nazard from third base.

The victory went to AI Hrabosky,
3-1, who blanked the Giants in the

12th.

.

Brian Asselstine and Bruce
Benedict each produced two-out run·
scoring singles off Ed Whitson to
earn the Braves a 2-2 tie in the sixth
inning.
Chambliss' winning hit was off a
Lavelle fastball.

By Associated Preu
Randy Lerch was starting to f.eel
left out.
"I got skipped a fOUple of times
when I thought I should have pit·
ched," said the Philadelphia
Phillles' left-bander.
Part of the problem, of course,
was his disappointing ().6 record.
Manager Dallas Green said he had
"rested" Lerch the last 10 days
because he felt the pitcher was
playing with a lack of ·enthusiasm
and aggressiveness.
Apparently the rest helped. Lerch
was abundantly enthusiastic and
aggressive while pitching the
Phillies to a 11-3 decision over the Pit·
tsburgh Pirates Wednesday night
with ninth-iMing relief help from
RonR.eed.
·'He threw the heck out of the ball
tonight;" Green said. "Randy used
the inside of the plate more. He had
been working too much outside.''
Lerch really sparkled in the eighth
inning, when a single and double put
runners at second and third with
none out. Lerch then retired the side,
striking out Bill Robinson on a daz·
zling pitch.
"He was due to pitch a good
game," said Pittsburgh Manager
Chuck Tanner. "He's a good pitcher.
Give him credit."
Elsewhere In the National League,
the Houston Astros nipped the San
Diego Padres !-{); the Atlanta
Braves beat the San Francisco Gian·
Is 3-2 in 12 innings; the New York
Mets defeated the St. Louis Cardinala 6-5 and the Montreal Expos
and Chicago Cubs played to a 3-3 tie
in a game suspended after 10 innings
by darkness.
Lerch scattered 10 hits before
leaving with none out in the ninth af·
ter giving up Lee Lacy's two-run
homer, his second of the game. The
left-hander had fine fielding support
enroute to his first victory of the
season.
The victory boosted Philadelphia
back into first place in the NL East
over the Pirates by four percentage
points.
Astrosl, Padres 0
Nolan Ryan pitched a masterful
two-hitter to lead Houston over San
Diego. Ryan, who at one point
retired 12 straight batters, struck
out seven and walked five on the way
to his third victory of the season
against four losses.
The veteran right-hander yielded
only a third-inning double to Rick
Wise and an eighth-inning single to
Ozzle Smith.
The Astros scored their run on
Enos Cabell's RBI single in the
second.

Charboneau hits eighth homer
BALTIMORE (AP) - Joe Charboneau's home run was the most
spectacular hit of an eight-run
Cleveland rally, but it wasn't as
damaging as a pair of "seeing eye"
singles.

"A couple of little ground balls
that you can't do anything about,"
complained Baltimore Manager
Earl Weaver after the Orioles dropped a !().6 decision to the Indians
Wednesday night. " All you can do is
watch them go into the outfield."

The

Manager Dave Garcia of the In·
dlans conceded that three runs
during the rally and two more later
in the game all came on well-placed
hits barely out of reach of Baltimore
defenders. But he claimed they were
due.
"We've got a lot more of those
coming after all we've had against
us," Garcia reasoned.
Held to one hit by Jim Palmer, 4-3,
through the first four innings, the In·
dlans erupted in the fl!th while sen·
ding 13 batters to the plate.

ween Montreal and Chicago to be
suspended beca use of darkness. The
contest will be resumed at that point
when Montreal returns to Chicago in
August.
The darkness at the only major
league park wi010ut lights made
play difficult in the umpire's

opinion, and about 20 minutes after
they had suspended the game, the
area was drenched by a downpour.
The Expos sent the game into ex·
tra innings in the ninth when pinchhitter Jerry White hit a sacrUice fiy
to drive in pinch-runner Tony Ber·
nazard from third base.

The victory went to AI Hrabosky,
3-1, who blanked the Giants in the

12th.

.

Brian Asselstine and Bruce
Benedict each produced two-out run·
scoring singles off Ed Whitson to
earn the Braves a 2-2 tie in the sixth
inning.
Chambliss' winning hit was off a
Lavelle fastball.

"MAIL-A-BOOK Catalogs for
Kids" have 'now been distributed in
all Meigs County schools by the
Pomeroy and Middleport Public
Libraries and the OVAL
Bookmobile.' The catalogs list 100
tiUes especially chosen for their appeal to children in grades K~. The
children can order as many books as
they want, using the special post
cards they were given. (There are
more post cards available at the
libraries and at the Bookmobile for
any children who have lost theirs.)
The catalogs are a part of the
Mail-a·book service provided by the
Pomeroy and Middleport Public
Ubraries in cooperation with Ohio
Valley Area Ubraries (OVAL).
Mail-a·book is part of the libraries'
effort to make books more accessi·
ble to people who live in rural areas
of the county. Children's books are
included in all the catalogs
distributed during the year, but this
sununer list is timed to stirnulilte
reading during vacation months and
includes only children's books.
If it is difficult for your child to go
regularly to the library in Pomeroy .
or Middleport or to the bookmobile,
Mail-a-book may be the answer.
Children can also participate in the
Suriuner Reading Olympics through
Mail-a-book. Mail·a·book is another
free service of the Pomeroy and
Middleport Public Ubraries.

quicker showers so as to use less
water.
During winter, if our four boys are
not too dirty, we have allowed them
to lake "bi.rd baths" every other
day. A "bird bath" is a general going over of the body with a wash

l have started washing our clothes
in strictly cold water and use hot

the boys to change their undershorts
every day but their T-shirts only
every other day unless they have

up changing every day, though. MRS. J.G.E.

"MAIL-A-BOOK Catalogs for
Kids" have 'now been distributed in
all Meigs County schools by the
Pomeroy and Middleport Public
Libraries and the OVAL
Bookmobile.' The catalogs list 100
tiUes especially chosen for their appeal to children in grades K~. The
children can order as many books as
they want, using the special post
cards they were given. (There are
more post cards available at the
libraries and at the Bookmobile for
any children who have lost theirs.)
The catalogs are a part of the
Mail-a·book service provided by the
Pomeroy and Middleport Public

Mail-a·book is part of the libraries'
effort to make books more accessi·
ble to people who live in rural areas
of the county. Children's books are
included in all the catalogs
distributed during the year, but this
sununer list is timed to stirnulilte
reading during vacation months and
includes only children's books.
If it is difficult for your child to go
regularly to the library in Pomeroy .
or Middleport or to the bookmobile,
Mail-a-book may be the answer.
Children can also participate in the
Suriuner Reading Olympics through
Mail-a-book. Mail·a·book is another

Reagan charges U. S. has betrayed friends
By Tbe AIBoclated Pres•
In a swipe at President Carter's
foreign policy, former California
Gov. Ronald Reagan has charged
that the United States has " betrayed
our friends " abroad.
" They no longer know if they can
have confidence in us, " the
Republican presidential candidate
told a rally in CinciMBti Wednesday. "But I think we can regain
that confidence.
" It would give me great pleasure
to tell them, 'There will be no more
Taiwans, there will be no more Vietnams, there will be no more betrayal
of friends and allies by the United
States government."'
Reagan, now unopposed for the
GOP nomination, also said he would
slash income taxes by 30 percent,
beef up the military and still cut inflation, if elected.

Reagan was scheduled for a morning appearance in Payton today
and he and President Carter both
planned to campaign today in
Columbus at noontime rallies six
blocks apart.
Reagan said he did not intend to
try to meet the president, although
they would be speaking at about the
same time .
Meanwhile, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy , who continues to challenge
Carter for the Democratic
nomination, was scheduled to
deliver what his aides called a major
foreign policy address at a breakfast
meeting of the Cleveland City Club
today.
Kennedy, who trails Carter by 15
percentage points in the Cleveland
area, according to a telephone poll ci
registered Democrats and in·
dependents . by television station

WKYC, also was to hold a luncheon
meeting with two women's rights
groups - Cleveland Working
Women and Women's Space.
While supporters waved dozens of
American flags, Reagan told the
Cincinnati rally the way to attack inflation is "less government spending."
"We have to bring the cost of

races,'' he said.
Celebrezze is trying to clear up
confusion over the procedure which
apparenUy confronted some voters
four years ago.
..
In 1976, the number of persons
casting ballots for alternates dropped 14 percent from the total who
voted for delegates, he said.
Tuesday's primary. for the
presidential and more than 1,100
other state and local government officials...}Vill cost an estimated $5.1
million, uie state's top elections officer said Wednesday;
The cost will be shared by the
state and Ohio's 88 county boards of
election.
In addition to the candidate races,
voters will decide four proposed
amendments to the Ohio Con·
stltution. They will also consider 1ii4

revenues,'' he said.

But Reagan proposed an increase
in pay for the military and pledged
be would work to " begin rebuilding

the money for those programs could
come from welfare reform, he said.

•'One of tbe flaws in government is
that Washington government has
usurped and taken over many of tbe
programs that ought to be returned
to state and local government,"
Reagan said.
He also prQposed a 30 percent,
across-the-board tax cut spread over
three years. Carter has opposed a
tax cut as inflationary, but Reagan
predicted the president will "sud-

one letter lo each square. to form

denly. discover the value of cutting
taxes" as election d;ly approaches.
Columbus workers prepared for .
the Reagan and Carter visits by
hanging flags and bunting downtown.
Afterwards, Carter planned to

psign appearances before beading
back to Washington.
Reagan was to continue his Ohio
swing with csmpaign stops Friday
in Toledo, Cleveland and Canton.

districts around the state.
Less than haH Ohio's registered
voters are expected to cast ballots in
the primary, Celebrezze predicted.
But he said the 4-4 percent turnout
he forecast would result in more
people going to the polls than in 1976
because the number of registered
voters has increased since then.
Celebrezze said Tuesday's predic·
ted turnout of 2,410,000 persons compares to 2,367 ,000, or 51 percent of
the registered voters, in 1976.
The turnout prediction was based
on an assessment of hotly contested
local races around the state and the
tenor of the presidential campaign,
Celebrezze said.
He said a "rather spirited" race
between President Carter and Sen.·
Edward M. Kennedy, O.Mass., for
the Democratic nomination may
spur voter interest.

Two deputies
hospitalized
LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) - Two
Fairfield County sheriff's deputies
were hospitalized here and a former
mental patient was dead following
an exchange of gunfire Wednesday
in the Buckeye Lake resort town rl
Millersport.
Chief Deputy Mike Norris, 33, was
listed in stable condition at Lancaster Fairfield Hospital with wounds in the arm and back. Sgt. Dave
Kieffer, 31, who was shot in the
hand, was reported in good condition
following surgery to remove parts of
two fingers.
Richard Wynn, 60, who was living
with his mother in Millersport, died
of WOWlds he received when shot by
Norris and a member of a backup
unit that arrived on the scene as the
deputies were wounded.
Sheriff's department Capt. Jerry
Lehman said the officers were
dispatched to the area after a
resident reported a man was waving
a gun around. As Norris and Kieffer
approached Wynn, Lehman said, the
man pulled a .38-caliber handgun
from his belt and fired six rounds at
them.
Lehman said Wynn had been committed to several mental hospitals in
recent years.

He sat East and held the
first trick with the king of
spades. He continued with the
10, which held the second
trick. Had he merely continued with the third spade,
declarer would make his three
notrump in spite of losing the
finesses in the red suits.
However, the doctor reasoned that West could not
have an entry for his spades
and that there could be no
reason to set that suit up. So
he shifted to a club and while
South had time to take the
diamond finesse , he still needed to try the heart finesse .
And by that time the docto(
had set up a club trick against
the unfortunate declarer.
The I.R.S. allowed him only
3,333 pounds for this play to
leave him one pound short. We
can't allow him anything at
all . West might well have led
from A J 8 6 5 of spades and
the club leads would let
declarer romp home' if he had
held the queens of both black
suits instead of the spade ace.
You can 't beat the I.R.S.
anywhere. The credits left
him a pound short. This
amounted to six pounds with
interest and penalties and the
doctor was still in trouble.

Legal Abortions per Each 1,000 Women

Legal abortions occur more frequently on the East Coast

abortions per 1,000 women. Washington, D.C., has the
highest abortion rate (185). while Mississippi has the lowest (five).

Ohio el~ction
ballot strange
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP ) Ohioans will have to mark their
ballots up to four times to cast a
complete vote in Tuesday 's
presidential primary, Secretary of
State Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr.
says.
" The way the ballot is set up may
seem a little bit strange, " he told
reporters. "It's sort of a process rl
evolution."
Republicans and Democrats have
decided to list the names of in·
dividual presidential candidates on
the ballot rather than the names of
convention delegates and alternates
pledged to them.
Such a procedure avoids the
lengthy bedsheet ballots of past
years which contained lists of
delegates' names.
Under the current system, the
names of presidential candidates in
both parties will appear in four
places, represenling delegates at
large, alternates at large,
congressional district delegates and
congressional district alternates.
"There are four separate elections/' Celebrezze said. "It's extremely important that voters
remember they must vote four
times.''
Delegates and alternates in the
Democratic primary are chosen
proportionally, based on the votes in
each of the four delegate contests.
"The Republican primary is a
winner-take-all situation at the
congressional dis~ct and state atlarge levels, and it is important to
make a choice known in all the

government ba ck down to meet the

Reagan charges U. S. has betrayed friends
By Tbe AIBoclated Pres•
In a swipe at President Carter's
foreign policy, former California
Gov. Ronald Reagan has charged
that the United States has " betrayed
our friends " abroad.
" They no longer know if they can
have confidence in us, " the
Republican presidential candidate
told a rally in CinciMBti Wednesday. "But I think we can regain
that confidence.
" It would give me great pleasure
to tell them, 'There will be no more
Taiwans, there will be no more Vietnams, there will be no more betrayal
of friends and allies by the United
States government."'
Reagan, now unopposed for the
GOP nomination, also said he would
slash income taxes by 30 percent,
beef up the military and still cut inflation, if elected.

Reagan was scheduled for a morning appearance in Payton today
and he and President Carter both
planned to campaign today in
Columbus at noontime rallies six
blocks apart.
Reagan said he did not intend to
try to meet the president, although
they would be speaking at about the
same time .
Meanwhile, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy , who continues to challenge
Carter for the Democratic
nomination, was scheduled to
deliver what his aides called a major
foreign policy address at a breakfast
meeting of the Cleveland City Club
today.
Kennedy, who trails Carter by 15
percentage points in the Cleveland
area, according to a telephone poll ci
registered Democrats and in·
dependents . by television station

WKYC, also was to hold a luncheon
meeting with two women's rights
groups - Cleveland Working
Women and Women's Space.
While supporters waved dozens of
American flags, Reagan told the
Cincinnati rally the way to attack inflation is "less government spending."
"We have to bring the cost of

races,'' he said.
Celebrezze is trying to clear up
confusion over the procedure which
apparenUy confronted some voters
four years ago.
..
In 1976, the number of persons
casting ballots for alternates dropped 14 percent from the total who
voted for delegates, he said.
Tuesday's primary. for the
presidential and more than 1,100
other state and local government officials...}Vill cost an estimated $5.1
million, uie state's top elections officer said Wednesday;
The cost will be shared by the
state and Ohio's 88 county boards of
election.
In addition to the candidate races,
voters will decide four proposed
amendments to the Ohio Con·
stltution. They will also consider 1ii4

revenues,'' he said.

But Reagan proposed an increase
in pay for the military and pledged
be would work to " begin rebuilding
our arsenal of democracy." Part of
the money for those programs could
come from welfare reform, he said.
The former governor extolled
familiar themes of curbing govern-

ment participation in education;
social welfare programs and
business regulatltm.
•'One of tbe flaws in government is
that Washington government has
usurped and taken over many of tbe
programs that ought to be returned
to state and local government,"
Reagan said.
He also prQposed a 30 percent,
across-the-board tax cut spread over
three years. Carter has opposed a
tax cut as inflationary, but Reagan
predicted the president will "sud-

one letter lo each square. to form
fow ordrnary wo rds

denly. discover the value of cutting
taxes" as election d;ly approaches.
Columbus workers prepared for .
the Reagan and Carter visits by
hanging flags and bunting downtown.
Afterwards, Carter planned to
meet Democrats at a fund-raiser
then fly to Cleveland for three c:am.
psign appearances before beading
back to Washington.

districts around the state.
Less than haH Ohio's registered
voters are expected to cast ballots in
the primary, Celebrezze predicted.
But he said the 4-4 percent turnout
he forecast would result in more
people going to the polls than in 1976
because the number of registered
voters has increased since then.
Celebrezze said Tuesday's predic·
ted turnout of 2,410,000 persons compares to 2,367 ,000, or 51 percent of
the registered voters, in 1976.
The turnout prediction was based
on an assessment of hotly contested
local races around the state and the
tenor of the presidential campaign,
Celebrezze said.
He said a "rather spirited" race
between President Carter and Sen.·
Edward M. Kennedy, O.Mass., for
the Democratic nomination may
spur voter interest.

Two deputies
hospitalized
LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) - Two
Fairfield County sheriff's deputies
were hospitalized here and a former
mental patient was dead following
an exchange of gunfire Wednesday
in the Buckeye Lake resort town rl
Millersport.
Chief Deputy Mike Norris, 33, was
listed in stable condition at Lancaster Fairfield Hospital with wounds in the arm and back. Sgt. Dave
Kieffer, 31, who was shot in the
hand, was reported in good condition
following surgery to remove parts of
two fingers.
Richard Wynn, 60, who was living
with his mother in Millersport, died
of WOWlds he received when shot by
Norris and a member of a backup
unit that arrived on the scene as the
deputies were wounded.
Sheriff's department Capt. Jerry
Lehman said the officers were
dispatched to the area after a
resident reported a man was waving
a gun around. As Norris and Kieffer
approached Wynn, Lehman said, the
man pulled a .38-caliber handgun
from his belt and fired six rounds at
them.
Lehman said Wynn had been committed to several mental hospitals in
recent years.

He sat East and held the
first trick with the king of
spades. He continued with the
10, which held the second
trick. Had he merely continued with the third spade,
declarer would make his three
notrump in spite of losing the
finesses in the red suits.
However, the doctor reasoned that West could not
have an entry for his spades
and that there could be no
reason to set that suit up. So
he shifted to a club and while
South had time to take the
diamond finesse , he still needed to try the heart finesse .
And by that time the docto(
had set up a club trick against
the unfortunate declarer.
The I.R.S. allowed him only
3,333 pounds for this play to
leave him one pound short. We
can't allow him anything at
all . West might well have led
from A J 8 6 5 of spades and
the club leads would let
declarer romp home' if he had
held the queens of both black
suits instead of the spade ace.
You can 't beat the I.R.S.
anywhere. The credits left
him a pound short. This
amounted to six pounds with
interest and penalties and the
doctor was still in trouble.

Legal Abortions per Each 1,000 Women

THO!fE COU~DA &amp;EEN HI~

Legal abortions occur more frequently on the East Coast
than in any other region of the country, according to government statistics. The map shows the number of legal
abortions per 1,000 women. Washington, D.C., has the
highest abortion rate (185). while Mississippi has the lowest (five).

Ohio el~ction
ballot strange
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP ) Ohioans will have to mark their
ballots up to four times to cast a
complete vote in Tuesday 's
presidential primary, Secretary of
State Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr.
says.
" The way the ballot is set up may
seem a little bit strange, " he told
reporters. "It's sort of a process rl
evolution."
Republicans and Democrats have
decided to list the names of in·
dividual presidential candidates on
the ballot rather than the names of
convention delegates and alternates
pledged to them.
Such a procedure avoids the
lengthy bedsheet ballots of past
years which contained lists of
delegates' names.
Under the current system, the
names of presidential candidates in
both parties will appear in four
places, represenling delegates at
large, alternates at large,
congressional district delegates and
congressional district alternates.
"There are four separate elections/' Celebrezze said. "It's extremely important that voters
remember they must vote four
times.''
Delegates and alternates in the
Democratic primary are chosen
proportionally, based on the votes in
each of the four delegate contests.
"The Republican primary is a
winner-take-all situation at the
congressional dis~ct and state atlarge levels, and it is important to
make a choice known in all the

government ba ck down to meet the

WASffiNGTON (AP)- A govern·
ment index designed to forecast
future economic actiVity plunged a
rec,ord 4.8 percent in April,
suggesting that the nation is in for a
steep recession, the Commerce
Department reported today.
The falloff in the Composite Index
of Leading Indicators came as·aU 10
components of the economic
barometer fell for only the second
time in the three-decade history d
the index.
The April decline eclipsed the
previous record one-month drop of 3
percent set In September 1974, when
the economy was falling Into what
was its worst recession since the
Great Depression.
The Carter administration has
been predicting a "mild and short"
recession this year, but private
economists have said they believe
the downturn will be closer in
magnitude to the 197H5 recession.
Adren Cooper, a Commerce
Department analyst, said the April
slide "probably does say something
about the depth" of the downturn.

FBI probes possible conspiracy·
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The FBI says the shooting of National Urban
League President Vernon E. Jordan Jr. may have been a conspiracy,
but local police, ruling out a "domestic type thing" as the motive, view
the attack as isolated and are checking the theory of someone working '•
alone.
Jordan, 44, under police guard in Parkview Memorial Hospital's intensive care unit, was off the critical list, but he was still in very
serious condition Thllfllday night. He had delivered a speech to the
Fort Wayne Urban League Wednesday and was shot early Thursday

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal
Wlemployment benefit payments to
600,000 jobless Americans, from
auto workers to ex-servicemen, will
come to an abrupt halt next week
unless Congress rushes to the aid of
a nearly depleted Labor Department
fund.
The Carter administration is
asking Congress for an additional
$1.1 biUion to keep the unemployment checks flowing, but government Officials have virtually ruled
out the possibility of congressional
action before next Wednesday, when
the fund is expected to run dry.
The money problem has developed
because the Labor Department
grossly underestimated the number
of benefit recipients from the slwnping auto industry when the depart·
ment submitted its budget request to
Congress last year. Now, action on
the request for additional money for
this fiscal year has been tied up by
C9ngress' wrangling over. the next
fiscal year's budget.
Congress is expected to approve
the money request without a fight,
mainly becauSe the increased spending Is required under laws passed
by Congress. But the nation's com-

The composite Index In April stood

at 126.3, meaning that it was 26.3
percent ahead of its 1967 base of 100.
The figure was 12 percent below the
peak of 143.6 hit in October 1978.
A recession occurs when the
nation's output declines for two consecutive quarters, by traditional
measures. Weakness bas been
evident since February, when industrial production, factory
utilization and retail sales began
dropping.
Many economists believe continued weakness In these sectors
could produce a near-record or
record quarterly drop In the nation's
inflation-adjusted output this quar·
ter. The nation's output had grown
only a weak 0.6 percent, at an annual
rate, In the first quarter, the Commerce Department reported recently.
Further evidence of a likely steep
second-quarter decline was shown In
the companion Composite Index of
Coincident Indicators, which feU 1.9

In February. This index is desi~l¥1

On another front, the Labor
Department reported Thursday that
the average earnings of American
families rose 8 percent in the 12 months ending In March - from p;5 a

"In that sense, it suggests a
problem."
The April slide In the composite index was the seventh In the last 12
months and followed drops of 2.1
percent in March and 0.4 percent in
February. Revised data showed no
change In the index in January and
December, the report added.
Three consecutive monthly
declines in this economic barometer
traditionally have signaled that a
recession was imminent.
The Commerce Department Index
is made up of 10 measures of
economic health, ranging from the
layoff rate in industry to stock prices
and building permits.
Felicks Tanun, a Commerce
specialist on the Index, said the only
previous time all components of the
index had fallen was in November
1957, again a recesslonary period.
"Layoff rate contributed the
greatest decline," the report said,
suggesting that the sharp increase in
Wlemployment from 6.2 percent in
March to 7 percent in April may be
followed by further large rises in
joblessness.
Some private ailalysta are predicting that the unemployment rate for
May, due for release next Friday,
could rise to 7.5 million. That would
translate to nearly 8 million jobless
persons.
