TINE TO REGISTER

OUR old friend registration" bobs up
" again with the opening of the per-
iod when citizens may make themselves
eligible for the general election to be
held on November 8.
Registrations for the general election
can now be made ana the final date for
taking care of this matter is Septem-
Der %.
This allows a little more than two
weeks for those who have not yet quail
flied for voting to do so. There are
some Imperial Valley citizens who per-
haps, could not qualify for previous
elections this year because they had not
been residents here sufficiently long,
but who will be eligible for the general
election. These, and others who ne
elected to register, should do so before
September 20.
There is no question about the i'm
portance of the November election. A
president of the United States is to be
chosen, also senators and congressman
as we'll as state and county officials.
Surely these matters can be considered
sufficiently important to warrant the
attention of every citizen.
Those who have any doubt about their
registration should make inquiries now
and be certain that they will not be
debarred from voting on November 8
through any oversight on their part.
