Qualified voters in Westerly and
 the rest of Rhode Island will vote to- day (Tuesday) to approve or reject the S2,500.900 soldiers bonus and bonus bond issue is for the purpose
 of paying s10o to each soldier. sailor and marine from the state who serY-l ed with combattant forces in the
 world war The bridge bonds are for
 the purpose of constructing and re-
 pairing bridges on state highway sys-
 tenn, the bonds to be issued as the
 need arises, and the money to be ex- pended under the supervision of the
 state board of public roads.
 Under the property qualification law, only such voters as pay taxes on real estate, or personal property to
 the amount of SPA, can vote at this
 election, or at any other in the state 1 where an expenditure of money is in-
 volved. It was only two years since
 that a. non-t tax paying elector was
 permitted to serve on a jury in
 Rhode Island. There are three class
 es of electors in the state, real estate,
 personal property, and registry vot-
 CTS. Such conditions do not exist in
 any state outside of Rhode Island, and no change is made by reason of
 politics.
 The Sabbath Recorder, in the for I
 article of special local interest
 which reads: Cheering news comes from Regional Director Ira B. Cran-f dall of Westerly, that the Pawcatuck
 Seventh Day Baptist church had se- i cured subscriptions exceeding S4D00 per year for the denominational bud get for it's total membership of 39S, 1 thereby considerably oVersubscfibing it's quota, and more coming. This | surely is good news just at this time, and as an encourage cement to all the l churches which are now engaged on
 their canvass. The result is not at all surprising, unless it be that the goal was reached sooner than it was l expected. In it's support of denom- national interests, Westerly neither 1 falters or wobbles.
 1 When the director-general visited | this church in November, and has
 message was so kindly received by | the large congregation, he was con- vinced of certain conditions that ex-
 isted in this church. First, that the 1 entire membership was in hearty fel-
 lowship with the forward movement, | and believed that this step was the
 wise and proper move for the denom- i ination to make at this time. Sec
 ond, that Pastor Burdick possessed a 1 big vision of what the movement | meant to each church member in it's
 larger and more spiritual aspect, and
 proposed that his church should lack
 neither information nor interest in
 this undertaking. The results attest the thoroughness of his labors -'The selection of Charles H. Stan
 ton as chairman of the campaign
 committee, was a. guarantee of the f complete success of the financial sit l uation. With an exceptionally active 2 Women's organization and through g the assistance of MT. CrandaH resi-
 dent member of the commission, the oversubscription is therefore, not | surprising"
