electrical problem that caused it or what. In some ways, computers are sensitive." A check with the computer company today may shed some light on the situation, she noted. WHEN THE COMPUTER is fed ballots, the ballot counts have to coincide with what the voting places are reporting. Miss Hammond explained. "We matched consistently all night, but for some reason in one precinct, we didn’t match.” Miss Hammond said. The computer in that precinct recorded one vote per candidate. “We had run about five or six precincts at that point.” she said. “We had to reprocess everything to that point and double-check the precincts." ALTHOUGH THE COMPUTER malfun ction caused no major difficulties, it did cost the workers a half-hour so they could reprocess the information. But Miss Hammond is much in favor of the computer system. “Although the computer may be scary to some people, this is the best system that is available. We are incredibly fortunate to have it here. “What you have with the computer system is objective tabulations,” she further explained. “The machine can only read what is punched.” AS AN EXAMPLE, with the old paper ballots, if the voter marked outside of a designated box for a candidate, the vote

1,640, Ben Cannon (D) 1,603, and Allen Ellison (d) 1,357. Attorney Dennis L. Thomas, running unopposed for the Republican nomination for Judge of the Putnam County Court, polled 2,472 votes. The Democrats had no candidate for County Court judge in the primary, although Democrat county chairman Tom Buis said one will be named before Sept 1 deadline for the general election. Ronald Reagan won the county GOP presidential contest, polling 2.540 votes to 478 for George Bush and 228 for John Anderson. President Carter prevailed on the Democratic slate, taking 2,139 county votes to 497 for Sen. Edward Kennedy. FOURTH DISTRICT Congressman Dan Quayle won the GOP U S.

could be voided. The same procedure could happen if the voter used a check mark to record his vote instead of an “X”. With the paper ballots, whether a vote was counted or not came down to a matter of opinion in some cases, she noted. One point Miss Hammond did emphasize is that no matter how many people vote, the election workers still work the same amount of time. “IF YOU HAVE ONE person voting, you follow the same process,” she said. “It’s the same process regardless of how many people vote. “The poll people have to be doing their job for the system to work,” Miss Hammond concluded. “I was really pleased with how it went .” Democrat Chairman Buis said there were “no surprises” for him Tuesday evening. “It went about the way everyone expected,” he said primary night at the courthouse. "I WOULD HAVE like to have seen more people participate.” Buis added. “A lot of people may say they don’t like a particular person. W’ell, the time to choose them is in the spring.” The lack of a strong response from local voters may have been due to the lack of local races, Buis said. “The local ticket is what pulls the people out, not the national ticket.”

527. Sen. Birch Bayh, unopposed on the Democratic slate, garnered 2,272 votes. Putnam Democrats gave the edge to John Hillenbrand in the gubernatorial contest. Hillenbrand defeated state Sen. Wayne Townsend here, 1,333 to 1,194. Republican Lt. Gov. Robert Orr, uncontested in his bid for the GOP nod for governor, got 2,839 votes. In the race for lieutenant governor, the most crowded field in the primary, county Democrats gave winner Robert Peterson 1,091 votes, compared with 727 for Graham Richard and 518 for Ruth Stuart. Putnam Republicans gave the nod to Ralph VanNatta over statewide winner state Sen. John Mutz by a count of 1,059 to 858. House Speaker Kermit Burrous earned 813 GOP votes and Gary Benson got 273.

There were also no surprises for Republican chairman Solomon during Tuesday’s primary. As predicted, Solomon said he expected Ronald Reagan to win strongly for the Republican presidential nomination. “I felt like (Dan) Quayle was a heavy favorite for the Senate,” he added. TAKING A LOOK AT the local level, Solomon felt pretty good about the voter turnout. He said he believed Putnam County had a “larger turnout than in the primary two years ago.” Commenting on the courthouse crowd that came to watch the results, Solomon said, “I thought this was the smallest crowd I’d ever seen following a primary.” On the absentee ballot scene, Bob York felt those ballots were less in number than in previous years. York and Bill Jackson were in charge of handling the absentee votes. YORK DID SAY there were two strong precincts in the northern part of the county and two in town who had really good voter turnouts. “I feel this was due to good precinct committeemen,” he said. Many others involved with the election on a personal basis, or just watching from the sidelines, seemed to have the same feelings as York about the election as he said, “I think it went very smoothly.”

She has been invited to participate in a training program conducted by Closer Look of Washington, D. C., which would enable her to voluntarily assist vocational educators and industries in setting up job training programs for handicapped youth. IN ADDITION, Mrs. Bassett holds memberships in the National Association of Handicapped Student Services Programs in Post-Secondary Education, Indiana and National ACLD, and the International Association of Personnel Women, following trends in both education and employment. Locally, she is a member of the Community Resources Council, Mental Health Association and Coordinator of the Putnam County Council on Handicapped Citizens, Washburn Chapter of DAR and the First Christian Church.
