Ted Brown Talks
On Election Laws

One of the most frequent quest
ioas asked of the Secretary Of
State is: why do we have regis
tratiLn 2"
The primary purpose of regis
tration is to provide method of
making certain that those who
vote in a precinct are actually res
idents Of that precinct and are
qualified to vote there.
There are arguments pro" and
"con' on the subject of registra-
ton, of course, but in many
places where registration has been
put into effect there has been a
reduction in election irregularities.
Modern-day living is vastly diff
ferent from the so-called horse
and buggy" days and this has af-
fected voting. There was a time
when approximately 200 persons
lived in precinct and the election
officials serving at the polling
place on election day would know
everyone who requested ballots.
Today, even in some OF cur rur-
al areas. and most certalnly in the
more populous areas where the
population is much more transi-
tory, the problem of proper iden-
tification o. voters becomes more
acute. A larger percentage of fam
lilies move from place to place and
the population in many areas has
increased so that the average pre-
cinct of today has $50 voters. In
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1956-05-22

these instances, it is rare COM
mLnity where the precinct officials
know every voter.
Registration isn't such a conpli-
Gated matter as some may think
In order to register a person goes
to the office of the Board of Elec-
ions and fills in registration forms
which bear his signature. That per-
sons registration card is sent out
to the precinct in which he is en-
titled to vote on election day, max
ing it easy to identify the voter
by comparing the signature on the
registration card with his sigma
ture on the poll book.

Of the following four points, the
gong will be rough.
ID You must have a strvng, con-
t;ruing ambition. Studies show
that only one in ten peorla who
nave been with a company for five
years are willing to study, work
harder and accept heavier respon-
siDllities in order to advance.
q You must have plenty of ply
sical and emotional stamina. Can
YOU take a crisis in stride, ward
off dependency and the fear OF
failure, receive criticism without
flinching?
81 You must be ready to make
personal sacrifices. Consider what
you'll have to give up: much OF
your social life, hobbies, time with
your family.
Al You must be willing to take
risks. The higher you go, the more
often you vii be required TO make
decisions Cn your own and stand
by them.
If you climb the management
trail, check yourself constantly to
be sure that you don't fall into
scme Of these + tTalls: inability TO
delegate respons bility; lack Q!
general KNOWLEDGE, personnes CT
ganization and administration; in
ability to analyZe end evaluate. tn
make decisions, to cooperate ana
to judge people.

Magazine Tells
How To Get To
Be An Executive

Got your eye on one of those
upper-echelon jobs in industry?
For the man with ability and drive
the opportunities for advancement
have never been brighter, say the
editors of Changing Times, The
Kiplinger Magazine.
Big companies everywhere need
more executives, especially at the
junior and middle levels. In the
steel industry alone, for example,
management openings are running
500 ahead of openings last year.
Bright as the opportunities are,
the upperward trek in industry is
still a long, h ard, backbreaking
grird. If you are Shaky on any one
