Keen Interest In Elections
 Mony Inquiries
 Received on
 Absentee Ballots

Cheshire. Sept. M.-There have been e number of requests con- corning absentee ballots for the town election especially from men in the service. Absentee ballots are for those who are in the service, all others are required to be actually present at the following place un- less prevented by illness. Ballots may be secured ct the office of Town Clerk James R. Lanyon. There are many persons who for one reason or another do not ballot in the town election. Usually 1t Is pretty well known how the election will turn, out and the average person does not take much interest In t., The regular oftlce holders do not campaign for reelection unless there is reason to believe that someone iS endeavoring to unhorse them when they will get around and con. tact the voters some time before election day.
 The Republican party is usually victorious aS 1t Is in most Of the small towns throughout the state. The Democratic party always has Q group of aspiring ofiiceholders but only occasionally are any Of them elected and then 1t Is to some poSi- ton where 1t could hardly be other. wise. Only c certain group seem to Dc much interested in the town affairs and although occasionally there Is much talk about changes deserved, 1t Is usually just talk and nothing else. With the return of the young men and women who have been in the service 1t is reasonable to believe that there will be some changes.
 After World War I the members of the armed services who returned home and became members Of the American Legion were given to be- lieve that aS c veterans group they should not enter politics but such iS not believed to be the case this time. Another thing which may cause some changes is the fact that we have c lot of women !i' the service this time,

The Shirley Temple-sgt. John Agar wedding turned out to be the most unusual in Hollywood history. It was the first marriage for both. They both gave their right age, and neither looked over his shoulder when the minister asked if anyone present knew why the ceremony shouldn't be per- formed.
 There was a little confusion at first. MT. Temple used to be a banker so he insisted the custom ary solo was "Oh PromiSSory Note Me" Everyone wished the couple the best, and hoped to be present at their silver wedding. w, C.. Fields even mentioned golden wed- ding but finally settled for @ straight martini.
 It was a typical military we'd ding - halfway down the aisle two
