Less than fifty per cent
_of the people of this com
munity who are eligible to
vote take t h e trouble to
register. Thus they . re
fuse to participate in the
most important function
in a democracy, & show by
their lack of interest that
they do ‘no}; cherish this
eat privilege.
gr“Wkl:y should I vote? 1
am not going to get any
thing out:of it.” That /i s
the explanation one gets
from many persons w h o
take lightly the duties and
obligation imposed upon
them by American citizen-
The most vocal critics of
rhe manner in which our
government functions are
those who never take the
“trouble to'vote. They
stand on the sidelines and
find fault, but refuse to
lift a finger to correct the
situation. To a large de
gree they can change the
situation which they com
plain about by exercising
their right to vote. But
they prefer to let ‘George’
d'-,) lt. e P B ;
One of the reasons why
we do not have the type
of government all of us
can applaud is because of
our own lac k of inter
est [f we were more
alert and concerned
about what ishappeningin
our government. offici Is
who now do as they please,
and frequently wor k a
gainst the people’s. bes t
interest would quickly re
verse their attitude. DBut
if the people don’t care,
‘who shoulg? : .
. The registration for
voting which has been in
progress for ‘nearly t'w o
|months, has beer a big
disappointment. We rea
lize, of course, that be
cause of lack of keen com
petition for elective offi
ces, that muchinterest bas
not been generated. But
that is no excuse for fail
ure toregister and to vote.
‘There are only two more
days remaining for regis
tration: Wednesday night
from 8 to 9 o’ciock at the
‘Dober School, and on Fri
day from 7to 9at Fort
Christian. Trere is still
time for American citizens
who are 21 years of age to
register for voting. We
earnestly hope that all
who are eligiblie will take
this opportunity to regis
ter, regardless of the way
you vote in November.
