HOUSE-TO-HOUSE
DRIVE PLANNED
TO GET OUT VOTE
Junior Chamber of Commerce
Plans Town-wide Primary
Canvass
Campaign Mapped to Point Out
to Voters Importance of
Primary

Bluffton Junior Chamber of Com
merce members this week will launch
a full-scale "Get Out the Vote
campaign designed to reach every
eligible local elector with an appeal
to cast his ballot in the primary
election here next Tuesday.
In a house-to-house canvass, JAY
Gees will distribute handbiIls urging
residents of the town to vote, and
explaining the advantages of a
citizenry which exercises its rights
to cast ballots in a democratic pro
cess.
Posters urging that Bluffton turn
out a capacity vote are being dis
tributed to local merchants for dis
play in their store windows, as an
other phase of the campaign.
In announcing the campaign, Jay
Gee James Szabo pointed out that
"the primary can be more important
than the general election, because
the two-party system cannot work
unless both parties select able candi-
dates at the primary. Many honest,
able candidates have been cast aside
at the primary because $50 of the
electorate failed to vote, leaving i'm
portant decisions to a well-organized
minority"

BLUFFTON FACES
SUMMER MINUS
DRINKING FOUNT
Downtown Drinking Fountains
Latest Casualty of Modern
Motor Age
Four Founts Repeatedly Dam.
aged by Autos Removed
from Main Street

Bluffton's downtown public water
fountains which stood at every
corner in the business district for
more than half century have be-
come the latest casualty of the
motor age.
Because out-of-control automobiles
keep swapping the water lines in
the standards off at the base, deci-
sion has been reached to remove the
fountains, James Draper, superint-
endent at the waterworks said this
week.
None of the fountains are operat-
ing at present, and two already have
been removed. Until this summer
four fountains have been kept in
operation in the downtown district
With passage of the drinking
fountains, a Bluffton institution of
more than half century is going
into discard. Fountains first We're
installed on the street shortly after
completion of the waterworks here
in the "nineties".
In the future, tho, when you get
dry in downtown Bluffton, don't
head for the nearest street corner
in the hope you can slake your
thirst. Just blame the automobile
for your dilemma as you set a
course for the closest ice cream soda
stand.

Urge Support For
Hancock Fair LeUu

Hancock county voters will ballot
on one-mill levy designed to pro-
vide funds for the construction of
new livestock buildings and general
improvements at the fair grounds in
Findlay, when they go to the polls
for next Tuesdays primary election.
In the past, livestock has been
housed in tents during each show
season, but owners object to showing
the stock in anything other than
permanent buildings, fair officials
pointed out last week.
During the last 10 years the board
has expended over $4,000 for tent
rentals on the fairgrounds. Board
members feel this method is unecon-
omic, from any viewpoint, and con-
sequently are asking the voters to
pass the proposed issue which would
permit continuation of the fair
grounds building program
At present the fair has 10 main
departments including horses, sheep,
dairy, steer feeders, beef, swine,
poultry, art hall, grange and indus
trial. Seven of these departments
are wholly or partially under can
vass, it was pointed out.
Wade Marshal, of Orange town
ship, is secretary of the agricultural
society which sponsors the fair.

MARKING BALLOT
NEXT TUESDAY is
NO SMALL CHORE
Presidential Delegates Names
are Rotated Alpha
betically
Ballots of Both Parties will be
Among Largest i'm
Years

It'll take time to vote in the May
primary election next Tuesday, and
electors of the district were caution
ed this week that they'll have to
read the fine print for there will be
no easy, "at-a-glance" way of mark
ing the ticket.
In voting for delegates and alter
mates for the party national conven-
tions, reading the fine print will be
a necessity if you want to be sure
to vote for the person of your pref
erence, elections officials said.
The names in blackface type in
the columns of the presidential
preferential ticket won't mean much
unless you take the time to read the
smaller print below each name to
determine who is listed as the dele
gates first choice for president.
Since the delegate and alternate
names are rotated alphabetically on
the ballots, voting can be easily
scrambled unless time is taken to
check that fine print.
For example, on sample Repub-
lican ballot used for "trial voting
it was found that the first three at
large delegate names are those Of
Stassen candidates; the next two
Taft candidates, the next Stassen
man, and the next four Taft men.
You can't just go down the column
and mark ''X's' in a compact group,
but you'll have to take time to pick
out your men according to the fine
print listing.
The same thing will be true on the
Democratic ballot where Bulkley and
Kefauver delegates and alternates
are interspersed alphabetically.
Another complicating factor in
the voting will be the man-sized bal
lots awaiting those turning out al
the polls, as result of the large
number of candidates names ap-
pearing this spring.
With Sc candidates in the Republi-
an field and a total of 85 seeking
nominations on the Democratic
ticket, combination state and county
ballot for both will be the largest
in many years.
The Democratic ballot, carrying 85
names, will be 131a by 22R inches
in size. Altho longer, the Republican
ballot also will be narrower, 10 by
27h inches, to accommodate the
names of the SO candidates.
Board of election officials said that
approximately $4,000 COP ballots
and 10000 Democratic ballots have
been ordered for the May election.
