grades and these compositions
show clearly that the children
themselves realize what it means
to live in a country where men
and women can choose freely
their own representatives.
Prominent citizens in every
walk Of life have made phono-
graph recordings of addresses
urging the parents 10 vote and
thousands of printed copies of
these addresses have been taken
into the homes by the children.
ADDRESS BY DIsTIN
Elsewhere in this newspaper is
printed the address of Oakley f..
I Dfstin, election supervisor, who
points. out that there are times
when an election does not give a
true expression of the will of the
majority Of the people.
In her own language Marie
Masters, in the sixth grade at
Boyton school. says virtually the
same. She writes in her school
essay.
''Where will you be on No
vember 4 and what will you be
doing: know where every
good citizen should be. They
should be at q voting booth.
They'll he voting for the man
they think IL best fitted for
office.
'Tn public schools In Detroit
children are learning TO vote 30
that when they are old enough
they can 70 to the polls also.
Today, probably the very ones
who didn't vote last voting day
are the ones who are saying:
Look whom they chose or why
did they choose him.
why? Because only half of
the people who should have
voted, did. There's only one
way to prevent this and that II
to 20 90 the polls on Tuesday
and cast your vote"
SHE KNOWS VOTE DUTY
Barbara Cell, in the sixth grade
tet Newton school. rs onfy 4 years
old, but she knows the duties Of
an American citizen. She writes:
"Our country offers us many
privileges. We are n free people;
we have freedom Of press,
speech and religion. We are
protected by the United States
Of America.
"Slnce we have all these privi-
leges, we should help our cOun-
try and our government by
taking an active part In Its af-
fairs and that means we should
vote on election day.
'1f we vote we have the OPP
portunity Of selecting the men
who can give us the best gov
eminent and the government
best suited for all Of us. So
everyone who II eligible tn vote
next Tuesday should go TO the
polls"
STRONG UNITY NEEDED
While from Ronald Wetterholt
in the seventh grade at Higgins
school, comes:
Each and every citizen OF
the United States should con-
Germ himself about his country.
II IL strong unity that we need
today.
Every vote counts. ANY citi-
zen who thinks that his vote
doesn't count Is very much mis-
taken, every person who casts
his vote Is helping 20 preserve
our democracy. We must exer-
else every right that 10 granted
us under our democratic form of
government. Too many people
do not appreciate the privilege
of voting. II they only realized
how important II II.
Democracy cannot survive
without your help. Going to the
voting booths Is not only n
privilege but your duty. Then
when you do vote. vote for the
person you think will do the
best Job"

Asks 0'Conor Veto
Jai AIai Bill
Governor Is Silent
On PIeu of Non-Portisun
County Committee

After receiving a committee from
Montgomery County protesting the
jai alai bill. Gov. OConor yesterday
declined to state whether or not he
would grant their request for a veto.
Milton S. Kronheim, jr., commit
tee chairman, visited the State
House at Annapolis yesterday with
Everett G. Brown, Stephen Tuhy,
jr., and James Deto, named to the
committee at mass meeting Tues
day in the Silver Spring Baptist
Church.
Acting as spokesman for the
group, Mr.. Kronheim explained that
the resolution was adopted at a
non-political and non-sectarian
meeting to express the opposition
to legalized gambling in Montgomery
County.
I'VE are not against anybody and
we are not even against jai alai
when 1t is played in Florida" he
said, but we don't want it in Mont
gomery County"
Pledges Consideration.
Gov. OConor said that the resolu-
ton would be given every considera-
ton in conjunction with other pro-
tests which already had been re-
ceived and some communication
favoring the bill.
The bill. passed during the clos
Ing days of the recent session, was
in the hands of the State Law De-
partment for examination with the
more than 900 bills adopted during
the 90-day meeting, the Governor
said.
Shortly after the session ended,
however, he said he would veto the
measure unless sufficient sentiment
was voiced in Montgomery County
in favor of the bill.
Subject Referendum.
Somewhat similar to a measure
introduced earlier by the Prince
Georges County delegation but al
lowed to die, the bill would legalize
pari-mutuel betting on jai alai
games subject to a referendum to
be held at the coming special elec-
ton for Representative from the
9Th Maryland district, which will
probably be heldsearly next month
The four Montgomery County del
egates who sponsored the bill,
James w. Gill, Ruth Shoemaker,
E. Brooke Lee and Stanton c. Peelle,
later withdrew their support and
announced they would join the
groups asking the Governor to
veto it.
