DRIVE TO URGE
VOTERS TO SIGN

A widespread campaign to reg
lister thousands of eligible new
voters in Seattle, to enable them
to participate in the spring cleo
tions, will be launched November
Is, it was announced today.
Plans for the campaign,
mapped at a meeting in the Of
flee of City Councilman David Lee
vine, will call for a provision
which will enable voters to regis
ter after regular City Hall bust
ness hours.
The program 10 stimulate a
new interest in voting and put
the names of the thousands of
new residents on the city's regis
tration rolls was originated by
the Seattle Metal Trades Council,
Levine said.
Cooperating in the campaign
will be all city and community
clubs and labor organizations in
the city.
The registration campaign will
continue until January Is, The
drive will be handled by a citi-
zens committee.
Seattle's registration has drop
ped to 167,696 from 212,112 a
year ago. The drop was attrib-
uted largely to the fact that a
voters name is "purged" if he
fails to vote for two years. 1t
also may be necessary to have
centers in various
in the city.

Another man walked in and left
word to tell his wife where he was

In short, the hoSteSseS must be

disconCerting to the younger hostess

is exactly what the canteen is for,
to supply something of that home
atmosphere for which the lonely
Serviceman longs.
The Methodist social hall is open
to servicemen Friday and Saturday
afternoons and evenings, with a
special recreation program Sunday
afternoon at four. Junior and senior
hosteSSeS are on duty, recreation

church takes many men home to
dinner and provides overnight lodg-

offering extra rooms.
State Street Christian church has
opened its social hall Weekends and
made its badminton courts and ping

entertaining many at dinner and

remembers the forgotten woman
of this War-the serviceman's wife.
These women are new to the COM

men in the two cities. got together
to attempt to solve this situation.
Scores of men were walking the

SERVE As MODEL
FL Cenro'S experience might
serve as the model as the same thing
occurred in Brawley, and later in
Holtville and CaleXico as
more and more servicemen were
stationed in the valley. what with
the establishment of permanent
camps and the sending in of divi-
SionS for training in desert warfare.
Last spring a group of women met
together to see what they might do
and formed the El Centre Service
mems canteen unit, electing Mrs
Emily Kaford as their president.
They decided to ask the FL Centre
Servicemen' Recreation council. or
ganized a little earlier with How
ard P. Meyer as president, to find
them a building and they would do
the rest.
The council made arrangements
to secure the vacant building on
Main street and guaranteed the rent
and running expenses, and the wom-
en- went to work.
Pleas for furniture brought in
enough to make the place comfort
able if not a decorators dream. One
individual mended the plastering,
another firm gave the paint, and
the women got in and scrubbed and
cleaned.
COOKIES PLEAS
Then pleas went out for cookies
and for grapefruit for punch, to be
served along with coffee, popcorn,
and apples. Women throughout the
city responded generously and from
that small beginning, the present
