MRS. LEAH B. WILLCUTS
_Clerk of the District Court, -

fect since January, 1937, in the
office of Mrs. Leah B. Willcuts,

_ clerk of the Shawnee County Dis-
trict Court and a Republican can-
didate for re-election.

Mrs. Willcuts has made these
seven important changes:

1. Adoption of a policy of keep-
ing the office open during the noon
hour for the convenience of the
public and the lawyers.

2. Installation of a modern ‘e-
licate receipt system which in-
sures more. accurate handling of
county money.

3. Hauling from the attic many
books of. old records; racks have
been built and the records since

_ 1862 now are in order; county
commissioners assisted in this
project.

4, Arranging all old criminal
records so they are readily acces-
sible in the attic; an index directs
the way to these records.

5. Tracing down of every old
book and record kept by the
clerk’s office since 1862.

6. Rebinding of many old books
in the office vault.

7. Installation of a new flat fil-

records much more accessible; the.
new system will be ready for use
next week.
