Attention . PROP ERTY
 OWNERS! I need one family, two family, and three family houses on Bunker Hill, Out East, Hopeville, Wal nut St., Middlebury, Wa tertown, in fact, in all To- acatiOns for clients who really want to buy.
 I want your confidence, so, if you desire to sell, you will place your prop erty in my hands to sell for you. Plain, true state ments in the press is my only avenue to gain your confidence. Consummation of business transactions is my proof that your con fidence was not misplaced. I will positively not buy your property to resell and thereby deprive you of some of it's sales value. When you sell your prop erty to a real estate man, he buys because he knows the market value and the demand. He will not buy unless he is assured of a fancy profit when he re- sells. After he resells at a profit of 5000 dollars, you, justly so, feel that advantage was taken of you and that profit he re. alized should be yours be- cause you owned that property. On the other hand, the purchaser on learning that this real es- tate man bought this property two days or two weeks previously for $2, 900 less than he sold it to the purchaser for, he can justly feel that he had ad- vantage taken of him. THEREFORE
 If you want to sell, call me first and assure your self of a square deal and if you buy from me, you can feel assured that I did not personally buy this property, jack up the price and unload 1t on you.

fact is hunger physical and spi,i-

one to win the battles of peace.

Voting Age at 18
IsFovored Al
In Party Poll
Official Newspaper
OF Democrats Takes
Ballot of Readers
BY the A.socioted -ress

A party poll on whether the voting
age should be reduced from 81 to 1S
has ended with a 4-to-l ballot IN
favor of the change. the Democratic
party's official newspaper said today
Georgia and South Carolina are
now the only States permitting 1s
le and 20 year olds to vote. In
Georgia teen-aEers will cast their
first ballots July II in the Demo-
cratic primary. In South Carolina
a new party rule permits participa-
ton in the Democratic primary
August l3 Of white Democrats
over 10.
The party organ, The Democrat
said response to the poll of its read
ers was most gratifying" The
total Of those voting was not given
The reason most often given ir
favor of lowering the voting age
the paper added, was that if the
18-year-olds were old enough te
fight for their country, they are ole
enough to have the ballot.
"On the other side, those who
felt the voting age limit should stay
where it is stated that they felt
that the Is. 10 and 20 year olds were
too immature. too inexperienced
and could be too easily led by per-
suasion'
The paper said quick look at
the ballots of those under 81 dis
pel' the latter idea and showed the
reasons given were well thought
out"

Senate Unit Approves
1win-5pan Bridges

The Senate District Committee
today unanimously approved the bill
authorizing the construction of two
four-lane spans to take the place
Of the present antiquated Highway
Bridge.
Already passed by the House, ths
structures are expected to cost be-
tween $1,000, 900 and $9,000,00O. Half
the cost will be borne by the District
and half by the Federal roads fund.
Before the committee voted today.
Commissioner Guy Mason told the
group that immediate action was es-
sential now because the Federal
roads fund will expire next June.
He said that if authorization is not
Forthcoming by then and plans and
specifications submitted, Federal
funds could not be obtained.
The House passed the bill after
an Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Subcommittee heard lengthy testi-
mony on the fight over building two
4-lane spans or one 6-lane span in
place of the present bridge
District and Public Roads Admin
istration officials urged the two-span
replacement ultimately approved by
the House, while Interior and Park
and Planning Commission ofIicials
favored the single six-lane bridge.
