from various citizens of the town.
Monday, June IA, has been set
as the opening day for the pro-
gram that will be under the di-
rection of Jimmy Rogers and jan
ellie White.
Due to a conflict in dates with
Bible School at the Mt. Tabor
Baptist Church the program will
be confined to the afternoon until

full swing.
This marks the second year the

ed to take part in the program

games under the supervision of
the summer directors.

pected to begin their duties next
Monday and map out the plans
for the Six-WeekS.
Although it has not been def
nitely established that the pro-
gram will terminate at the end
of the six-weeks period it was de-
cided at the committee meeting
that the progress of the program
be surveyed at the end of the
time. If necessary and finances
are available the program will be
extended.
I'VE are still far short of the
$1,000 goal set to carry out the
summer program but it is expect
ed that the citizens of the COM
munity will rally to this worthy
cause" said Al Harrison, chair
man of the committee.
at is an impossibility for each
resident of the town to be con-
tacted about donation; however,
the members Of the solicitation
committee will contact as many as
possible" said Harrison.
In event that you are not con-
tacted the members accepting con-
tributions urge each citizen to
send his donation to the Summer

1itizenry Ponders Election "Oddities''

Irregularities in elections ALWAYS
overshadows any record turnout
OF voters and it seems that Satur-
days election was no exception
Rumors circulated freely among
the many interested spectators
who pointedly ignored the blazing
sun and fingered near the polls.
An atmosphere of suspense enticed
even the most disinterested to
bend an ear to the last minute
pleas Of campaign workers making
their final bid for votes.
Campaign workers, perspiring
freely, gradually lost their subtle
approach as the novelty of cam
paigning wore off and the hands
on the clock moved slowly toward
the closing hour.
Incidents such as telephone calls
to the precinct registrar demand
ing that only certain individuals

by law to be impartial but the
election fever pulled him out OF
the neutral corner. He is now in
the middle which makes it true
that politics is tedious under
taking"
Last but not least is the fire
water consumed by some to make
election day holiday. It's rumor-
ed that election firewater" i'm
proves the eyesight-if not, what
reason can one give for having an
open bottle on table in the same
room where the ballots are being
counted?
1t all goes to prove that on cleo
ton day anything can happen and
usually does. Perhaps, these tidbits
provide the punch that keeps the
world going "round and elections
from being real square"

matter Of not having to know even
the time Of day to be granted Just
a small favor. After all, what
difference does a few minutes
make between friends-most wives
keep their husbands waiting hours
without serious repercussions.
Another instance where time
was OF little importance involved
a time element of two days. These
folks supposedly lost their calend-
ar and didn't find it until two DAVIS
after the registration books were
closed. Sympathy and understand
ing motivated someone to register
the tardy folks SO they could vote.
Brotherly love will never die.
