Leans Republican

Figures from eight of the twenty
seven polling places continued to
lean heavily Republican in Tues
days registration.
The eight precincts showed Il

and 3 Democrats; 14-3, Is Republl-
cans and l Democrat; 14-4, 7 Re
publicans and 4 Democrats. kitz-
miller showed Republicans and
l Democrat; VindeX, Republicans
and 7 Democrats.
Combined with last weeks totals
the figures show las Republicans

the two weeks showed 80 Republl-
cans to 2 Democrats, while AL

al persons registered at that time.
There will be no more registration
DAYS prior to the general election.
The total number of those regis
tered will not be available until
after revision day.
Affiiation Changes
When it comes to utilization
changes the picture does not favor
the Republicans in any way. During
the past few weeks there have been
at least fifty people who have mail
ed cards to the Board of Election
Supervisors requesting that their
affiliation be changed from Re
publican to Democrat Only in a
few instances have there been re-
quests to change from Democrat
to Republican. This indicates some
intense work on the part of Demo-
cratic leaders, but is no indication
of the way they expect to vote in
the general election.

Word Initiation

Unusual but thought provoking would be two appro-
pirate terms to in describing address
to college graduates which privileged hear this
past Sunday.
Fred M. Hechinger education editor of the New York
Herald Tribune attacked the current Initiation of words
and the general lack of thought prevailing in America.
Because of the absence of meaning behind many words
and expressions used today the speaker said
that 1--WE find ourselves lost in strange deadend street
chatter"
How true this can be- How many times do hear a
words g" mean and then go into explanation that is
actly the same thing he just finished saying
The speaker urged his listeners to "say what you
and mean what you say"
How often hear the "gusher" type who perhaps
thinks she is paying you compliment in becoming supera-
tive commonplace occurrence, but you downright
positive she doesn't word of it. How much better
to be sincere with just few well chosen words It's really
impossible to believe the careless of meaningless
phrases, why waste the effort?
Why not that effort in making study of words
and their proper meaning and then them to good adj
vantage in wise selection. Not everybody, it is true
paint the picture by the proper of words
tanly almost anyone improve himself if he has deter
mnation.
So, first of all, determine to be sincere. That in itself
will tend to defate of words Then strive keep
from using the old phrases and again The
commencement speaker called them "cliches."
Strike out your to achieve true originality in
thought. And be sure you mean what you say.

years ago, includes Mrs. E. Z.
Tower, chairman: Jack Treacy,
treasurer; Miss Julia Rowan, secre-
tary: with Herbert Leighton and
Richard Davis as members of the
executive committee.
The Mayor and Town Council of
Oakland provided 5000 and the

upkeep of the cemetery, and with
this money the committee has en-
deavored to have taken care of the
lots in the cemetery where no sur
vivors remain to administer the
proper care and attention. Miss
Rowan said there were some 100
lots that fell in this category
She said the committee planned
to clean up these lots three times
during the year, one time prior to
the Both of May, and two more
times before September.
