We have had several applications
from contestants to allow votes for
subscriptions after they had been
paid in to this Office by the subscrib-
ers themselves. We cannot do this
for obvious reasons. In order to OBJ
tain votes for subscriptions applica-
ton must be made at the time the
money is paid in. 1t is the same way
with the merchants coupons. They
are only given out by the merchants
at the time purchases are made.
