dents liked Carl Rupp. Others
liked John Biccum. The vote:
Rupp 42, Biccum. 42.
But that is the way it goes
in Maybee.
It was Mr. Biccum vs. Mr.
Rupp in 1961. Mr. Biccum vs.

has been Mr. Biccuin vs. Mr.
Rupp for the last seven elec-
tions, all nonpartisan, with
Mr. Rupp winning by two
votes in one year, Mr. Biccum
by two in another.
In this year's election, Mr.
Rupp won by two votes
again on the first count, but

Toasts.'Red on the Rocks'
SYDNEY, Australia (AP)-
Thomas Hardy, an Australian
wine expert, says the favorite
drink at his home is "red on
the rocks."
"Some wine snobs would say
it was sacrilegious to drink
wine with ice," said Mr. Hardy,
president of the Australian
Wine and Brandy Producers'
Association, to a group of news
men.
"I wouldn't, of course, do it
with a classic table wine. But
for an average red wine I think
it is a happy way to drink.""
