Board Makes Survey
For Polling Places

There may be some changes this
year in the location of Garrett
county's polling places for prima-
ry and general elections. Russell
l.. Smith, chief registrar for the
Board of Election Supervisors
said yesterday that the members
of the board we're making coun-
ty-wide survey this week to select
suitable polling places that would
accommodate the new voting ma
chimes. 1t was expected that most
places used in former years would
be adequate but the actual selec-
ton will not be made until fol
lowing the complete countrywide
survey.
Smith also announced that the
appointment Of judges of election
was also under consideration since
these judges must be appointed
not later than March Is. There will
be four judges for each of the
twenty-seven polling precincts. No
clerks will be appointed this year,
as the use of the voting machines
will make them unnecessary.
Explains New System
Mr., Smith emphasized that the
county had adopted a system of
permanent registration, starting
January 6, which permits persons
to register, transfer or affiliate
with political party at the boards
office in the Court House, any day
Monday through Friday, 9 a. m.
until p. M. and Saturdays, a.
m. until IL o'clock noon.
Smith pointed out, however, that
no person may register, transfer or
affiliate within thirty days preced-
ing or 10 days following a primary
or special election. The dates ap-
plying this spring are from mid
night April 81 to May 80.
Deadline for filing for political
office for the May 20 primary cleo
ton is prior to midnight Monday,
March 10. New filing fees are in
effect this year for the first time
For offices paying $500 or more
the cost Of filing is $25. For offices
paying under $500 the filing fee is
$40. The latter will include candi-
dates for delegate to Democratic
or Republican state conventions,
and candidates for State Central
Committee of either party.
Gives Rules on Absentee
Regulations concerning civilian
and servicemen's absentee voting
we're announced. For the civilian
a qualified voter who may be I'M
avoidably absent from the state on
election day may vote as an alb
Sentee, but he must make appli-
cation in writing to the board for
an absentee ballot not later than
twenty days before the election.
For the servicemen they may
make application in writing to the
Secretary of State of Maryland, re-
questing an absentee ballot if they
are absent from the area because
of serving in the armed forces, or
if they have been honorably dis
charged and are too late to regis
ter or vote. An application for an
absentee ballot may also be re-
quested by relatives or friend.
The absentee resident shall be en-
titled to be sent a ballot only if
the application is received by the
Board at least five days before the
date of an election.

refused admit Negro patrons One of the at
TIN height of Miss Horne's TRADE, told her:

THAT isn't the lesson should learn from the Jews
Miss Horne repeatedly reorted THE lesson should learn
from the Jews is that when they find rotten prejudice

Seldom have truer words been spoken.
One of the admirable things about the Jewish people Is
their unity and solidarity their willingness back up
support their principles by laying cash the line not
scattered dollars but collective capital
The tragedy of the Negro people is that have many
dollars but very little when it using those
dollars force to respect and bring about social
