pH T-O-R-I-Al | It doesn't seem the time for it now, hut the fall elections are not far away. Election news was brought into the spotlight with the just completed primary in Massachusetts which pitted national figures in both parties. However, our concern now is not with the primaries In other states or our own either. In Indiana. this is all taken care of in May and the campaigns for the fall election are now in full swing. To be an active participant in the election, you can do all that Is expected of you by voting on election day. This is a right that you as an American citizen has . . . one that many persons of the world do not have. In some countries they have the right to vote, but no choice of candidates. This is not the way our democracy runs. However, many persons each election tune do not vote. Some just simply do not care to vote. Others aren't registered to vote.

the fall elections which will be held on Tuesday, November 6, October 8 is the final day a voter can register. Any person who has moved from one precinct to another, whether this be from State to -ta'e. county to county, or just from one part of town to another, has to register in their proper precim t so as to be eligible to vote. Also, many voters let their registration lapse by failure to exercise their right of voting in the elections from year to year. These must also register. Os course, anyone becoming 21 years of age must register tortile first time. A person can register at the court house in their county seat any time they are open. Special times and places are provided in many localities to register, so if there is any question in your mind or you know you aren t registered. take care of this obligation now . . . putting it off could mean failure to vote in the fall election.

erton and it is located in the State of Virginia*^ One can find this small town on a Hand McNally map or a n ap of the Stale of Virgin.a found in an encyclopedia. If one has a road map of Virginia, the town is listed in the index of Cities and Towns and is quite easily found on the map. Walkerton, Virginia, is north of Williamsburg and north-east of Richmond, and is located just off Virginia State Highway No. 30. It is nice to know that othei towns bear the same name as ours in Indiana. Whenever I am asked what my ‘home town' is. it is with pride that I answer “Walkerton. Indiana.’’ And if the person has no idea of when Walkerton is located I then say “near South Bend ", and righ* away they know. No matter where I may live. I shall always consider Walkerton, Indiana, as “my town.” Esther Hinz Gerber (Mrs. Eugene Gerber) ( 112 Price Lane Pleasant Hill. Calif.
