mnde to Us yesecrday ~ Circuit
Clerk j. ID. Weeks, affectionately
known as Cousin jeff to his
hundreds Of friends III Holmes
County.
He said that in the recent re-
gistration there we're more young
people registered to vote in Du-
rant than in all the other COM
munities in the county combined.
Peculiar, too, was the fact that
last year more old people regis
coed than usual.
1t is indeed encouraging to
know that our young people are
interested in their government
enough to register and have a say
so in how things are run.
Our boys and girls Of today are
the ones who must be the leaders
tomorrow. On them lies the re.
sponsibility for honest. efficient
government.
With the training the students
in the best high schools and col,
leges are getting today they will
be prepared for the responsible
ty thew are to inherit.
And that is our crying need
TODAY rapable men Of character
and training who will administer
government ON a business-like ba
sis with partiality toward none
Men who will run government OF
q scientific basis rather than
political basis.
