Let's Get Out the Vote
By J. [. Michoel

There are a few tricks, of course,
but getting out the vote is chiefly
a matter Of planning and plain,
hard work.
That's the way citizens of the
second precinct of Prince Georges
Bowie District see it, and they
ought to know.
They recorded an 81.3 per cent
turnout in the 1850 general elec-
ton and are out to beat that fig
ure on November 4. That means
that. two years ago. ballots were
cast by BAT Of the precincts 427
registrants.
The countrywide figure In 1850
was nearly 20 per cent.
A plaque awarded by the Hyatts-
vile Lions Club for that achieve
ment winks at ousted Democrats
from the wall Of the Glenn Dale
postofices.
"And now we're buckling down
again. said Thomas E. Latimer, q
1850 candidate, who now heads the
all-Republican County Commis-
sioners Board.
Mr.. Latimer believes the pri-
mary reason for the record break
ing vote was that residents Of the
community are exceptionally aware
OF their civic responsibilities.
He did not mention the fact that
his own residence in the precinct
sent many of his neighbors to the
polls. He did relate, however, that
the candidacy Of Republican

century.
why" Mr.. Latimer declared,
"the doctor has spanked life into
so many little voters that he
could get a big turnout If only
a fraction put an x in a square.
In 1850, the second precinters
got all but three registered Re-
Ipublicans to the polls and several
Democrats as well. They did II
by strategy and 1ogistics.
Mr.. Latimer credits his wife
Evelyn, and other women workers
for development to tactics and the
voltage that drove the men into
action. The ladies set up card
files Of all q. o. p. eligibles and
then went on watch at sunrise
of election day.
AS the hours passed, names
were checked OF when voters ap-
peared at the polls. Starting at
noon calls went out to laggards,
and cars were dispatched for those
without telephones.
"A Republican had to have q
good excuse II he didn't vote on
that election day." Mr.. Latimer
grinned.
Whenever q Democrat showed
up. the @. O. p. feminine contiu-
gent sent vehicles scurrying
through the countryside for coun-
ter-ballots.

Latimer asserted. "and well keep
on winning until We cover the

For Glasses Today

Falls Church's new George Ma

workmen mingling with the stu

ming action against the builder.
Today was back-to-school day
not only in Falls Church but inI
both Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, where an eSti-
mated $4,000 pupils were expected
to report. District public schools
open next Monday.
George Mason originally was
due to be ready year ago. But
$50 pupilS-50 more than expected
piled in this morning to find
painters, plastererS, electricians
and gardeners still busy and parts
Of the school not yet ready.
The School Board has set a spe-
cial meeting for tonight at which
members are threatening tol
terminate the builders contract.
Buses Can't Approach.
School buses couldn't drive upI
to the building because the drive
way wasn't finished They un-
loaded pupils blocks away. Later
concrete trucks pulled up and
paving men went to work.
The overflow of pupils has
caused authorities to commander
a teachers room, part of the
library and other emergency space
for classroom. Meanwhile, the
gymnasium-supposed to double
as a cafeteria-isn't done, and
neither is the kitchen. Pupils
are expected to have to bring
their lunches till late in the
month.
School officials said the con-
tractors-the B65J Construction

time work over the week end de-
spite request to do so.
Workmen this morning were
installing lighting fixtures in cor
ridors and the gym, and not all

ceilings.
Part Time in Counties.
Part-time classes were required
in some Montgomery and Prince
Georges County grade schools to-
day, as expected. In at least one
Montgomery school, Four Corners
Elementary. they didn't prove
necessary, however.
Fourth, fifth and sixth graders
at Four Corners can't report this
week, however, because class
rooms in a new addition won't be
ready until next Monday,
At Eastern Junior High School.
the entire elementary division will
be on halliday shifts. Clara Bar
ton School will have three part
time classes. Bradley Elementary,
in Bethesda. will have one morning
fifth grade and one in the after
noon.
The Ager Road, Oxon Hill, ].
Enos Ray, Thomas Stone and Sill
yer Hill elementary schools in
Prince Georges also organized
part-time classes. Langley Park
School hasn't yet decided the mat
ter this morning but may have to
have part-time first grade.
Two Schools Unfinished.
Workmen also still were busy
at two nearby Maryland schools
today.
Only three claSsrooms were
ready to open at an eight-room
addition to the Glenmont Elemen-
tary School, in Montgomery Coun-
ty. About 20 more pupils than
the expected 700 showed up, but
there won't be any double shifts,
authorities said.
In Prince Georges 375 pupils
scheduled to enter the new 10
