Let's Get Out the Vote
Peoples Voice Likely toBe Faint
In Maryland, Virginia Elections

States and 18 in Georgia. The
largest number ever to vote for
President was 49,820,312 in 1910.
That was about 62 per cent of the
potential voters.
Many political observers predict
that the total vote for President in
November will be we'll over so mil
lion, and perhaps as high as SIS
million. The goal of the Ameri-
can Heritage Foundation and some
At actively interested non-partisan
groups is 63 million.
But registering and voting more
than so million this year would
not necessarily make a better per-
centage showing than in some past
presidential elections. Back in
1900. for instance. only IA million
voted for President but they were
IA per cent OF the potential vote.
In 1916. before women could
vote, almost 70.8 per cent of the
potential voters did vote for Presi-
dent. In 1920. the percentage
dropped to 49.1 and in 1924 to 48.4.
Proportion Went Up.
From 1928 to 1910 the proper
ton increased steadily until it
reached the 62.4 per cent record.
Since then the voting totals as
well as the proportion of actual
voters to potential voters have
fallen off. Wartime and other
factors may account for some of it
between 1910 and 194S. It never
theless is hard to explain why the
percentage of actual voters to po-
tentials dropped to 53.4 in 1914
and 81 in 1948.
The situation Is not yet satisfac-
tory, despite the fact that the
combined estimated vote of A.
324.000 in 1850 was the largest Off
year vote in history. Even that
was less than so per cent of the
people who could have voted for
members of Congress and Cover
nors if they had taken the trouble
to register and cast ballots.
Residents of the voteless Dis
trict have more than silent part
|nership in the drive for a repre-
sentative national vote and an
active, alert participation by eligi-
BILE voters.
The District, according to Gen.
Isus Bureau reports, has approx
imately 100000 men and women
who are 81 or older. Well over
100000 of them maintain voting
residences in other States.
Absentee Ballots.
Democratic and Republican
headquarters estimate that 10000
cast absentee ballots here in 1948
or went home to vote that year.
That is q pretty good percentage.
even though it may be explained
to some extent by the large num-
ber of Federal job-holderS.
The small segment of electoral
activity in the voteless capital of
the Nation does not include many
others who work in Washington
but live in nearby Virginia and
Maryland. The situation in their
counties will be explored in the
second article in this series.

Let's Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Walsh

The voice of the people in the
November presidential election will
be faint and half hearted unless
registration of voters becomes an
all-out operation.
President Truman's recent COM
plant that only 81 per cent OF
this country's eligible voters went
to the polls in 1948 would have
been even more dismal if confined
to Maryland and Virginia-the
two States nearest the District

thus far in those counties. is the
brightest since 1910. But, notwith.
standing promises by party Off

drive to get out the vote, those
areas have long way to go tx

Many Explanations.
Officials and others closely in

plantations for the democratic

In any event. nothing can be

to the evidence of indifference ano

The biggest fair in Montgomery
County's recent history opened to-
day at Gaithersburg with prize
dairy cattle, sheep, goats. swine,
horses, chickens, a gorilla and a
pair of lady wrestlers.
The corn was taller, the home
made cakes had an extra inch of
frosting, the latest inventions in
farm equipment were shined up
and the merry-go-round was
wheeling "The Picnic of the
Teddybears" as farm and city folk
arrived at the fair grounds. ..
Montgomery County is famous
for its dairy herds and herdsmen
were scrubbing and combing splen-
did specimens this morning to get
them ready for the show ring.
Most magnificent in appearance
was Silver King, the 3-year-
old bull of the w. L. King & Son
dairy farm near Rockville. The
Kings have the largest pure-bred
Holstein-Friesian herd in America
Silver King is shimmering white
or silvery all over. Only small
patches Of black on the forelegs
show his Holstein ancestry. He
was never defeated as a 2-year-
old. He won the grand cham
|pionship at the State Fair al
Timonium last year.
This is his first fair this season
and he is entering the open classes
ready to compete with any bull in
the land. 5-.

This is the fourth year of the
revived Montgomery County fairs
at Gaithersburg and Bert Morris,
assistant county agent, says that
it is about 80 per cent bigger in
most classifications. Five hun
dred head of livestock were shown
last year. This year there are
about 750.
Years ago there used to be a
county fair at Rockville. It finally

a success. Last year it netted

To Raise Rents Oct.

into effect October /.
That's the day Federal rent con-
trolls will end in Montgomery un-
less the County Council requests

ing on the proposed extension for
8 pm, September 8, at the Rock

mentS and Goodacre apartments
said possible expiration of rent
controls in the county has nothing
to do with the increase. They are
raising their rents, they said, to
offset increased property taxes
brought about by .reassessment of
apartments in the county last year.
Both apartment houses were
built since World War II and thus
have not been under Federal rent
controls. Their rents have been
controlled by the Federal Housing
Authority, however, and that
agency has approved the new in
creaseS.
At Rock Creek Gardens In Sill

from $85 to $3.50 on efficiency
and one-bedroom units and from
500 to $107.50 on two-bedroom

WHEN YOU'RE planning a
w company breakfast, or a
party brunch, or looking for
something new to serve at
afternoon coffee or tea time,
the answer is one Of the hot
bread specialties described
below.
Originally a Good Friday
bread, the hot cross bun now
is a favorite throughout the
lenten season. Its origin has
been traced back thousands
Of years, when 1t was offered
by the Egyptians and Greeks
to their moon goddess. In
the British Isles, 1t was be-
lieved in some sections that
one of the buns baked on
Good Friday should be kept
until the following year for
good luck.
The cheese biscuits are
made with a basic biscuit
dough rolled and cut into dia-
mond shapes and lavishly
sprinkled with grated cheese.
They are perfect teammates
for a spring salad plate.
With a package of one of
the popular hot roll mixes,
the almond rolls can be
whipped up In a jiffy. They
are lightly spiced with crisp
almonds, raisins and citron
to make them extra good.
Straight from the cereal
shelf comes the nutlike top
ping for the coffee cake, but
without the bother of cracking
or chopping nuts. Quickly
made with baking powder.
this Is the sort Of home baked
specially that appeals to the
family appetite.
HoT CROSS BUNS: Two
packages yeast, compressed or
dry. " cup water (lukewarm
for compressed yeast, YARN
