and general elections this year,
both political parties exerted
themselves in getting people reg
istered and then persuading them
to vote. Such effort is commend
able, but the fact that there is a
need for il is a rather uncompli-
mentary reflection of the con-
cepts that some American citi-
zens have concerning the privi-
leges and duties of American citi-
zenShip.
l am becoming increasingly
cynical about this business of
coaxing and prodding American
citizens do their electoral duty,
If the ballot means so little to
them they have to be shamed n
cajoled into voting, why bother
about them? One thing l do ask
of those who without valid rea-
son fail to vote: Don't squawk
about how the government is
run. You have forfeited your right
to Squawk.
Native born Americans are apt
to take their American citizenship
too much for granted. 1t probably
never occurs to some of us that
liberty-loving men struggled for
centuries to wreSt from deSpotS
the political rights we have today.
Aliens who by the millions knock
at Americas door, seeking to be-
come United States citizens, APP
preciate the meaning of American
citizenship far more than many of
us who were born in this country
and take its liberties and institu-
uons for granted.
1t might be a good thing if per-
sons who are deleted from the
register because they failed
to vote were put to a little trouble
to get back on the list. Now, if
they fail to vote at a general cleo
ion, all they have to do is drop
in at the county clerks office for
4 minute or two and they are
,estored to grace. l feel that these
ielinquents should have to go to
1t least as much trouble as the
who lets his drivers Ii

Editorial
THE DECISION TO RUN

THE SUSPENSE is over. Republicans everywhere are
are iubilant beyond description, Democrats are glum, TO the
former all is over but the shouting while to the latter a longer,
harder, more bitter battle lies ahead.
THAT THE PRESIDENT announced his intention to
seek a second term came as little surprise to few observers.
There had been a tremendous buldup through the past
months to present Mr.. Eisenhower as fit as a fiddle. He was
photographed swinging golf clubs, fishing and doing every
thing else, and readers of newspapers throughout the land al
ways saw pictures of MI. Eisenhower at his best.
THE MOST spectacular buildup programs
was the televised announcement Of the doctors, headed BY
DIR. White, that the President was in perfect health, and that
he was free. so far as they were concerned, to seek another
term without worry Of any kind. In fact, DR.. White predicted
that the President had s to 10 more years of active life ahead
of him.
ROUGH ALL this there was one dissenting voice,
and that came from columniSt Drew Pearson, who thought
that he should not repeat the mistake he made in the case
Of President Roosevelt. Many people knew of Roosevets con-
dition. but it was not written about, or called to the attention
of the public.
Mr.. PEARSON POINTED to contradictions in Dr.
Whites position, quoting from some of the Doctors writings
in the Annals Of Internal Medicine of December 1851. In
these writings DR.. White said that heart patients should avoid
fear. great pleasure, anger, and the excitement Of athletic
contest,
ALL CITIZENS wish Mi. Eisenhower much success and
continued long life and health in the job that lies ahead h.
has been a good President and will continue to be 50, giving
his all to the lob assigned to him. His fellow Republicans are
verv happy about it all, yet there is Just the slightest cloud
over the whole matter because Of the tiny feeling that every
thing is not at its very best. But that is part Of the hazard

A tip I received from a pro-

use roach sprays containing
DDT-this does not kill
reaches unless aimed directly
at one. Instead, it excites
them and sends them scurry-

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY ROUSON
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Somewhere I read National
Geographic, I believe) that the
star Alioth in the Big Dipper
has a name of unknown origin
and meaning. Is this true?
A. The author of that article
must have stopped looking too
soon. Your question, however,
brings up an interesting group
of star names which most people
have no knowledge Of.
The Big Dipper itself has a
number of other names, among
them being Ursa Major Great
Bear, Arctos (she bear), Helice.
Septentriones (the northern re-
gions), the Wagon. the Plow.
and Charles Vain Ca corrup-
ton Of churl's vain, meaning
peasants cart').
Now the Big Dipper consists
OF seven stars, three of which
form the handle, and four form
ing the bowl. The stars of the
handle reading from left to
right, are named (these names
are all of Arabian origin: AL
kald, the leader" pronounced:
al-KAYD; Mizar. well, cloak, "
pronounced: MY-zahr Git ac-
tually is a double star, the small
er bearing the name Alcor. "the
weak one" pronounced: al
KAWR). and Alioth, "fat tail
OF a sheep" pronounced: AL
ee-oth.
The four stars which outline
the bowl are: Megrez, 1.-THE root, 4"
at the upper left, pronounced +:
MEE-grez; Phad, the thigh" at
the lower left. pronounced: fad:
Duohe. the greatest bear" at
the upper right, pronounced F.:
DOOB-heh. and Mirach, "loin
OF the bear" at the upper right,
pronounced: MY-rack, or NEE
rack.
Dubhe and Mirak are known
as the Pointers, since they al
ways point toward the North
Star as the Dipper revolves
about it.
