signed as chairman of the District
Minimum Wage and Industrial
Safety Board to make her home in
Minneapolis, heard herself described
as the greatest volunteer of her
time" at testimonial luncheon yes
terday at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
More than $50 prominent social
welfare leaders and representatives
of the District and Federal Govern
ments gathered to pay tribute to
Mrs. Kittle, who had headed the
board since 1887.
Commissioner John Russell Young
summed up the expressions of va
rious speakers by declaring: I'VE
have lost fine public servant. We
are going to miss her" He pointed
out that the Board of Commissioners
had accepted her resignation with
reluctance"
Recalling tributes by others, Mr..
Young commented: "If we had a

Her services here, Miss Lerroot
declared, have left IAN imprint that

has never sought personal reward
for her services, and has exempli-
fed two important words in life
today, citizen and community
she added.
Mrs. A. j. McKelWay, who served
as president of the Voteless D. c.
League of Women Voters between
1881 and 1888, described Mrs. Kittle
as fact finding, non-partisan,
persuasive leader" and asserted she

move the leagues purpose of pro-
noting political education through
active participation of citizens in
government"
May you enjoy in Minneapolis
the privileges of citizenship that have
been denied your fellow residents
here" Mrs. McKeiway declared.

Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-07-02
By JOHN +. SWEENEY,
Secretary of State

America takes proper pride IN the
fact that ours is citizens army. Yet
because of present cumbersome laws
the men in the armed service are, IN
effect, deprived of the first privilege
of citizenship-that is, the right OF
suffrage, the right to cast vote.
As the law now stands, five labori.ous
steps must be taken by busy soldier, five
distinct mailings must be made to his board
of elections back home. Here are the i've
hurdles which now stand between the service
man and his vote:
First-Any non-regstered man from our
larger communities which is a registration
district must write his local board OF cleo
tions asking for proper registration form
Second-Upon receipt of this registration
form he must fill it OUT notarlze ana re-
turn.
Third-Next he must make application
for formal application for an absentee Vot-

Charlie try that ornery-looking
catalpa worm and you probably
will get results.
Most folks are pretty busy
nowadays, farmers especially.
But what | started out to say
was Wayne Easton finally show
ed up at my landing. No! He
didn't go fishing just took
an old fashioned boat ride.
One night last week | heard
an uproar in one of the cottages
near my landing and upon inves-
tigation found a big "pinocle"
game in progress and if any one
in the crowd was enjoying him
self anymore than Frank (Bud)
Belmar, show me the way out.
Yep, Bud doesn't fish much but
he sure do like his "pinocle."
DIR. McBroome stopped the
other day. He was taking his
annual stroll thru the Avondale
vicinity to see improvements 60
ing on.
Bill Thompson was out Satur-
day trying for blue gills and be-
lieve it or not hooked something
he thought was a sea-horse.
Luckily he had a landing net in
the boat or he never would have
landed it-an 8-pound channel

wooden nickles on him and from

Word has drifted into me that
Russ. Watkins goes bass fishing
and as he reels 'er in, the blue
gills are so thick and hungry
they strike at the knot tieing the
line to the plug. You ought to
attach a fly on her Russ, and
catch the pesky things.
Amos Burton has been out
quite often here of late and
he's been catching 'em too.
Rubber nipples are getting
