■ Approximately 6,500 citizens in this city, Monroe, Berne and Geneva are eligible to vote in TuesIday’s election. We should all use our right of franchise. As citizens in a free country, it is our duty and privilege- to chdo'se our public officials. -The candidates have worked hard at campaigning and have, a right l tQ expect your vote. It would be a mark of good citizenship to have a record-breaking vote cast tomorroir for city and . town- officlalsT' ‘ - - . ■ -7. A . ; : o- o— While the right to strike is recognized in thia country, a majority of members of UE Local 924 ' United Electrical. Radio and Machine Workers: of America, comof workers at the Decatur General Electric Plant, have* voted . not tk strike. This decision was made by the workers themselves. * It clearly indicates that a majority of the workers, all of whom lire. iocal citizens and neighbors wish to remain on the job. From a ibommunity standpoint, mosj people are happy that a strike will not be called,', for factory shutdowns and- lay off of workers, . bring hardships and personal worries in every home. Everybody is jt affected by strikes, employes suf.ferlng the most in the loss of earnings. Unless employes in other GE plants in the country . vote to strike, which would affect local plant operations, there is a .good possibility that the Decatur Works will continue to operate briskly through the holidays. We sincerely hople that the wheels of .industry remain in high gear and that every whp-wants to I work has a job with a compen■satory pay check. —-a o \ ■ For Servicemen:— j President thinks that J voting should be made easier for j members of the armed forces. He ; asked the Amelican Political ' Science Association, an organizar tidn of teachers of government, , j to survey the situation. I As the President says, Absentee I voting by servicemen fell short of I its greatest possibilities in 1944. j Congress did not face the problem i until the campaign was well along. ? and then encountered a certain j amount of scheming designed to disiupt the plan. .! Now there is plenty of time to work out a gOod plan. Os all tnen in the nation our soldiers and ' ‘I sailors should he the last to be .denied a ballot if away ,can be found to send them one.
