The county clerk's office is a busy - and slightly untidy - place these days as office personnel prepare the 76,000 ballots needed for the primary election Sept. 14. Here the office staff looks over some of its handiwork in the form of wrapped and sealed ballot packages ready for distribution to the county's 48 election districts. Behind the counter at left are (left to right), Gladys Brown, Betty Ann Johnson, Barbara Dowse, and Irene Seitz. At right in front is County Clerk Luella M. Smith. Behind her is Ruth Walch.
