Local Activity For Heavy Vote In
November Election Underway; London
Jaycees Sparkling Drive For Big Vote
Record Vote For
Area Predicted
In Most Races

Activities concerning the coming
November election have been step
ped up considerably recently with
candidates trying TO get a chance
to see every voter, and other
groups working to get out the vote.
London's Jaycees have already
started their program to accelerate
interest in the campaigns by post
ing teaser signs in most of the
stores and business places in the
area. Addition words will be add
ed to the teaSer signs later this
week Some of the activities have
already got underway, and some
windows are already complete
with all wording.
In other action by the Jaycees,
plans have been made to haul vot-
ers all day on election day. Local
automobile dealers have pledged
new cars for use on election day.
and Jaycees will take calls at their
office. (UL 2-9898) all day to get
transportation to those not able
to get to the polling places other
wise. William H. Grubbs, London
attorney is heading the Jaycee
drive.
Grubbs said also that the Jay
Gee telephone number will be used
as an election return phone during
the evening. Those wishing to
know the vote will be able to get
it from the Jaycee number.
During election day the Jaycees
will distribute tags to all voters
indicating that they voted And be-
fore election day they will have
canvassed the entire area solicit
ing all voters to go to the polls.
A map of all polling places will
be used to inform the residents of
the right place to vote. Jaycees
are also informing people that it
is not necessary to be registered
in order to vote here. This is not
a registration area.
Printing OF the ballots has been
underway for several weeks. and
is progressing according to sche-
dule. Maurie Pernod manager of
tne Commercial Printing Depart
ment, Madison Press Company,
has been working all hours so as
10 provide literature for all can
didates and civic groups as well
as the necessary work for the Ell
ection Board.
A record number of ballots have
ben ordered printed and the To-
cal observers of voting through
the years are expecting one of the
heaviest votes in history.
And the manner in which cam
paign workers are trying for a
heavy vote indicates that all con-
cernod are interested in every vot-
er casting vote for some candi-
date. Partisan action has not
reached the climax here, but is ex-
pected to gain momentum rapidly
until after the voting is well un-
derway.
