IT’S ONLY SKIN DEEP, MEN
THE PRIVILEGE OF VOTING
How would you like to live in a country where
you were not allowed to vote or voice your opinion
on how your country operated or how your taxes should
be assessed or who should be your leaders?
Fortunately, you don’t live in that kind of a country.
Yet many in this community will neglect to go to the
polls and cast their vote, next Tuesday.
We urge you to take time between now and then to
think carefully about the candidates who are running
for office. They are all neighbors and friends, but
who is best fitted to serve the Second Division is up
to you to decide. Unless you are interested in the de
velopment of the land of your choice its wealth cannot
be developed to make the kind of country you wish
for your children and your children’s children.
Use one of your precious liberties and vote Tues
day.
THE COURT ROOM CLOCK
If the clock on the wall of the U.S. District Court
room could plead its own case, it would be one of
neglect.
It would testify that every time there was a
session in the court room or a special meeting of
some kind someone would look at it in vain to deter
mine the time.
It could call former jurors to testify that when
they slipped in a little late they would not know for
sure that they were Late because the clock upon the
wall does not function.
If the clock could speak it would no doubt say,
“Wind me up or take me down—I am embarrassed.”

an adjoining field instead of the
sky.
