Special Effects Arranged
for TOnight's Learning
to Listen Class

The tonal colors Of music will be
interpreted through colored lighting
effects at this evenings "Learning-
to-Listen" music class, which meets
at 7:15 in the Bronson Library
music hall. The entire spectrum of
color viii be called into play as the
music sets forth dulcet sounds which
rise to brilliant heights. This wilp
be harmonized with an artists con-
ception Of lights and color, as the
music and lights graduate and re-
cede. An ingenious arrangement Of
lights by Walden Trimble, co-direc-
tor of the course makes this atnos-
phere possible, and in addition to
enhancing the atmosphere, the
lights emphasize the emotional mes
sage Of the music Of the respective
composers heard at the Learning
to-Listen" classes. Floral decorations
also complement the music. Instfu-
ments of the woodwind choir, one Of
the most interesting sections Of the
symphony orchestra, will be studied
this evening and musical illustra-
tons played.
Tonight's program includes the
music of Johann Sebastian Bach
and George Frederick Handel. The
latter's Concerto Crosse, No. 8, in q
minor will be played by Felix Vein
gartner and the London symphony
orchestra. The movements are as
follows: LIST, Larghetto e affettuoso;
End, Allegro ma non troppo; Ord,
Musette Larghetto); 4th, Allegro;
5th, Allego. The public is cordially
invited to attend the 'Learning-to-
Listen" classes, offered without
charge under the auspices Of the
Bronson Library and the WPA Adult
Education Program of Waterbury.
The regular Tuesday evening class
will not meet tomorrow, because Of
Election Day activities. The class
will be resumed November 18th, and
will feature the later romantic and
modern composers.

Tomorrow-Election Day APP
proximately eight-five million per-
sons in the United States will be
eligible (if properly registered) to
vote in the national election. If they
stay at home in the same proper
ton as in past elections, about
forty per cent will not vote.
Many proposals have been made
in the United States to made the
exercise Of the suffrage compulsory.
The question has been hotly argued
pro and con. Proponents cite the
experience of the Commonwealth
of Australia, which has a compul-
sorry voting law.
Originated In Australia
In Australia such laws were first
introduced in Queensland in 1915
for state elections. Similar federal
laws were adapted for all of Aus
tralia prior to the elections Of
1925. At present, any elector who
fails to vote in an election is sent
a notice calling upon him to give a
valid and sufficient reason for not
voting. He is allowed twenty-one
days to fill out and mail his excuse.
If he has no valid reason or If he
givs one that Is false, he is subject
to fine of from two shillings to
two pounds, "a little less than
fifty cents to about ten dollars
On this basis, the forty per cent Of
non-voting eligibles In tomorrow's
election would have to pay Uncle
Sans treasury somewhere between
II and "a million dollars. OF course,
the delinquent may appear In court
and defend himself, but the vast
majority choose to vote or pay the
fine, One person appeared in court
in 1925 and stated that he did not
vote because no candidate of his po-
litical persuasion was on the ticket.
The High Court of Australia ruled
that this was not a sufficient rea-
son. Since this court decision, those
not wishing to vote choose to file

ballot whether or not they desig-
nate a candidate.
Australia employs various means
to check its lists Of voters in order
to discover the names Of those who
fail to vote. Eligibles are required
to register three months in advance
and are required to report changes
of address. Old electoral rolls and
lists Of taxpayers are used in fer
reting out the names Of delin-
quents.
Raised Voting Percentage
Australian records indicate that
the compulsory voting law has
raised the percentage Of those vot-
ing in Australia to a nearly per-
feet average. 1t has resulted in
widespread interest in elections
among both men and women. Wo-
mems organizations are exceedingly
active and very strong. They inter-
est themselves intensively in get
ting out the vote and work strenu-
ously on election day motoring
voters to and from the polls. A
comparison Of the percentage of
eligibles voting before and after
the law was passed Is testimony
to its effectiveness. In 1901, the
percentage of eligible voters who
exercised the franchise at each
election was 53.04 for the Senate
and $3.50 for the House of Repre-
sentatives. The percentage rose to
7769 and 1880, respectively, in 1917
but by 1922 declined again to 57.95
and 59.36 respectively. In 1925,
however, after the law was enacted,
more than 81 per cent Of those ell
gible to vote cast ballots and the
percentage has increased at each
succeeding election until In 1887,
more than 96 per cent Of the po-
tential vote was actually recorded.
Similar satisfactory results have
been attained from state compulsory
voting laws passed by New South
Wales and Victoria.
