Details of Final Count
This week the ballot box, locked
and sealed, uesd in closing The
Times-Recorder's circulation sales
campaign and $4,000 Gift Distribu-
ton, is available to candidates and
their friends at the Planters Bank,
during banking hours. The bank is
open daily between the hours of 9
a. m. and p. m. On Saturday the
ballot box will remain at the bank
until the closing hour when it will be
brought to The Times Recorder of
fee and placed COW eniently in the
business office where it will be avail
able for turn-ins until the stroke of
9 o'clock Saturday night the hour
for closing the compaign.
To insure fairness in the awarding
of the prizes the race will be brought
to close under the sealed ballot box
system and will be under the per-
sonal supervision of two or more
Judges selected form the Advisory
Board. During the final days of the
campaign, the boX-locked and seal

local bank. where candidates and
their friends will deposit their final
collections and votes. And not until
/ the race has been declared closed
will the seals be broken, the bow un-
locked, and judges begin the final
count. In this way no one, not even
the circulation sales campaign man
ager or the publishers, can possibly
know the final voting strength of
the respective candidate, which pre-
cludes the possibility of favoritism
and insures fairness to the minutest
degree.
