FORMER EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN IS HONORED BY PARTY
At the meeting of the county chairmen in Col- •umbus last month. State Chairman Ray C. Bliss was greeted with loud applause when he paid tribute to the more than 30 years of service Milton Scarbor¬ ough has given to the Republican Party. Without first naming the former Ashland County Executive Committee Chairman, Chairman Bliss praised the many fine qualities which he said were necessary for a man to gain the successes of a county chairman.
When Mr„ Scarborough first assumed the chair¬ manship of the Republican Executive Committee, Ash¬ land County had no more than eight Republican pre¬ cincts, half of which were the four northern town¬ ships. By 1958, under Mr. Scarborough's direction, the situation had been reversed so that the county had 47 Republican precincts out of the total of 62.
While he has retired from the Chairmanship of the Executive Committee, Mr. Scarborough is con¬ tinuing to serve the Republican Party in the slightly less strenuous post of Vice Chairman. In his polit¬ ical duties, in his activities around the Court House and in his life at home in Nova, we, with Mr. Bliss, wish him wellI
