meeting this coming Saturday, May 6. Price served in the chairmanship for the past 10 years, replacing Maynard Shrock, Nappanee, in November of 1968. “I can point with pride to strides we have made over the past 10 years in electing Democrats to office,” Price said, noting the county offices, mayor and council offices held by Democrats. “This is not a Republican county anymore,” he added. Price has worked on the railroad for 24 years and now serves as state legislative director of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks. He lost his bid for the Democrat Party’s nomination for state representative from District 9 in yesterday’s election. It has been estimated that about 2.5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold in the world since 1816.
