Browning Precincts
Have 1853 Registered
For Primary In July

BrowninR's three voting pre-
cincts IL, 10 and 81 and Brown
ing Outlying 9 has a total
registration of 1863 voters for the
July primary election. according
to figures of G unity Clerk
Anderson's office.
Dan MILESTONE. Pioneer Press
publisher, in quest of COMPARE
tive figures, has made the
deduction that this years pri-
mary election registration is less
than the general election reeist-
ration of two years ago by 1913.
With Dany war veterans fall
ing to register for this years
primary, the full voting strength
in Glacier County will not be
realized until the general election
in November, if the unregistered
see fit to register for the general
election.
With Browning's four pre-.
cincts representing approximate
ly 20 per cent of the ting
strength in the county. its might
at elections is considerable.
The total registered in the
county for the primary election
is 4058. Registration in various
precincts are:
Blackfeet SO, Seville SO.
Glacier Park 1872, Babb 146,
Family 1873. Galbreath 30, Starr
70. DR.. Martins 80, Mckelvey's
81. Red River 81. Hay Lake 40,
Cut Banks five precincts, l. 2. 3
4 and S, have 2220 registered. or
approximately half of the
county's voting strength.
Yet with but one vote deciding
the fate of a candidacy, that one
vote is what candidates worry
about.

| AAF Adopts Buoy
To Aid Rescuers
Hunt for Airmen

The Army Air Forces announced
today it has adopted as standard
equipment the so-called locator"
buoy, equipped with a radio an
tenna to signal the location of air
men downed at sea.
A number of instances were re-
corded during the war in which the
buoy Is credited with saving the
lives of flyers. When the buoy is
tossed into the sea a rodlike an
tenna emerges from it and trans
mlts radio signals in all directions.
1t is fed by a sea-water battery
Other planes within a radius of so
miles can pick up the signals and.
oy radio direction, locate the source
Of the signal.
The same apparatus, it was said.
serves to establish the rendezvous
rolnt for aircraft over the ocean
areas. In that use, the buoy is
dropped from a plane by parachute
AS standard equipment on mill
tary and civilian planes making
over-water trips the miniature ra-
olo transmitter is expected to play
an important role in diminishing
loss OF life from planes forced down
at sea, especially in the darkness.
