Use OF Voting Machines Is Easy
Says South Williams Registrar

Voters who are planning to stay
away from the polls on Saturday
due TO the misleading rumor that
the new voting machines are too
complicated to operate should re-
consider and cast their ballots ac-
cording to Mrs. Tom Angle, regis
trar of South Williams precinct.
ne operation of the new vot-
ing machines is very simple and
1t takes only a minute or two to
explain the procedure. said Mrs.
Angle.
Voting machines are being used
for the first time in the South Will
llams precinct during the Demo-
cratic Primary. Two machines
were installed in the CITY Hall
several weeks ago. Only one other
precinct in the County is using
machines this time. Whiteville has
two machines that will be in op-
Grafton on Saturday.
Everyone should make plans
to come to the polls as early as
possible on Saturday. Although
the voting machines are new in
TINS area and are simply operated
we are still urging voters to come
10 the polls early" said Mrs.
Angle.
