duties he can't take time to
walk the meters.

of political bumper stickers and
destruction of campaign signs
may be the beginning of a sign
war in Summers County.
A campaign sign for Oa'tis
Shaver, magistrate candidate,
at Pipestem was destroyed,
Shaver said, last week. The
incident was reported to the
State Police.
Shaver, when asked about the
complaint, said he couldn't
believe someone would deliber-
ately destroy his signs. "I was
raised better than this," he
said. "I would never stoop so
low as to destroy my opponent's
signs, but I'll tell you this,
everytime they take one of my
signs I'll put up two."
Another one of his signs, at
Sandstone, was dofaced by
someone putting bumper
stickers for Sheriff candidate
Bob Maddy over it. "I talked to
him (Muddy) about it and he
was upset. He told me he didn't
know anything about it and I
believe him.
"Smneone istrying to
degrade him and me at the
same time."
• ~Maddy said he knows none of
frienck would do this, "I
don't understand this," he said,
I'm not running for magistrate,
l'm running for Sheriff."
Maddy said he has bumper
stickers all over and anyone
occupied. Almost every meter
was expired. The streets
deserted, except 3rd Ave. And
most of the business places
empty of shoppers.
The City parking lot next to
City Hall was almost full one
year ago but now 23 spaces are
vacant. Apparently these paid
off street parking spaces have
been vacated for free on street
parking.

Unauthorized use of bumper
stickers for Sheriff candidate
Kenneth Wills have also been
used.
Wills said his stickers are
made of vinyl and '~anyone
could take them off a bumper
and stick them anywhere."
Wills said someone took one
of his stickers and put it on the
