CANADA FORCES AHEAD

Your "VieWer of The Ameri-
can Way" has just taken a look
at how our good neighbor to the
north is doing. Canada 'tWould
:eem is doing quite well.
Canada's population increased
266,000 in the first eight months
of 1859 and its population is now
estimated at 17,500,000.
And the Dominion continues to
financially. In the second quart
er of 1859, her gross national
product advanced to a season
ally adjusted annual rate of $34.7
billion, gain of 2 percent over
the level of the first quarter,
according to report of the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
This most recent advance con-
tinues the upsWing which was
showing increasing vigor in the
closing months of 1858. 1t has
brought the GNP in the second
quarter of this year to level
some z percent above the same
quarter of 1858.
A most encouraging feature is
that business outlays for new
plant and equipment made an
important contribution to this
upward swing.
It's fine to know that our cous-
ms to the north are expanding
not only in population but eco
nomically as well. We can't think
of nicer folks to whom we'd like
to have these boons visit.

SOME BARGAIN!

Any lingering doubt you may
have that government can carry
out a project as cheaply as pri-
vate enterprise should vanish
into thin air, when you read what
follows:
An isolated Nike missile base
in the Pacific Northwest needed
a supply of electricity. 1t called
for bids from a stockholder- own
ed company which had substa-
ton 7 miles away and a Rural
Identification Cooperative that
had one 80 miles away.

Secretosy Of Ssote Of Ohio

In Presidential election years
especially, the matter of chang
ing residence is always subject
for many inquiries to the secre-
tary of state and the 88 county
boards of elections.
1t is, we hope, of interest in
this odd-year which is so vital
to Ohio voters.
An Ohio elector who has NOV
ed since September % may vote
in his former Ohio precinct.
Sometimes this is not convent
ent, because of distance or for
some other valid reason. In that
event, the voter may exercise
the privilege given to all Ohio
voters to vote an absent voters
ballot.
Under Ohio law, a qualified
voter who will be unavoidably
absent from their county and
more than 10 miles distant from
their polling place on election
day may vote in the November
3 election my making application
to the county board of election
(thiS would mean the county
where the voter who moved had
formerly resided for an absent
voters ballot. The deadline for
appearing at the board in per-
son for such an absent vote is
Oct. 20 and to vote by mail the
ballots should reach the board
of elections by 1900 noon Oct. 30.
The General Assembly has by
resolution provided for the sub
mission of three constitutional
amendments to the electors of
Ohio at this forthcoming general
election. Although legal proceed
ingS are now in progress to deter
mining whether or not these
questions should actually be
placed on the ballot or whether
or not the votes should be count
ed, we might consider when the
amendments will become a part
of our constitution if they are
voted on and adopted.
In some states the time when
an amendment shall go into
effect is postponed by the con-
stitution until a date later than
the adoption. For example the
New York State Constitution
provides that an amendment be-
comes effective on the first day
of January after its approval.
The Ohio Constitution, however,
makes no such provision and
simply states that an amendment
shall become a part of the con-
stitution when a majority Of the

When an injury occurs, the
cause can generally be traced to
one or more of the following m-
safe practices:
l. Neglecting to wear proper
clothing and protective
equipment.
z. Operating equipment without
authority.
3. Indulging in horseplay.
T. Not being safety minded at
all times.
Each of us must think safety to
keep safe. But it isn't automatic.

Before he leaves the voting
compartment the voter should
fold each of his ballots separately
so that no part of the face OF
the ballot is visible. The ballots
should also be folded SO that
the backs of them, indicating
what kind of ballots they are and
the facsimile signatures of the
members of the board of cleo
tons, are visible.
The voter then leaves the vot-
ing compartment and delivers his
ballots, stating his name, to the
judge having charge Of the ballot
boxes. This judge then announces
the name and the numbers on
the stubs. The judge in charge of
the poll books then checks to
ascertain that the ballots were
issued to that voter. The judge
in charge of the ballot boxes
then detaches the stubs from
the ballots and, in the presence
of the voter, deposits each ballot
in the proper container and the
stubs in seperate container, pro-
vided therefore. 1t is at this point
that the ballot becomes secret.
The removal of the stub makes
the ballot indistinguishable from
all of the other ballots and the
mingling in the ballot box makes
it impossible to determine who
voted what ballot.
The voter then leaves the poll
ing place but he is not permitted
to do so until he has returned
every ballot issued to him, re-
gardless of whether or not he
has placed any marks on them.

election to be held November 3,
a majority of the electors voting
on the question vote in favor of

becomes a part Of the constitu-
ton as of that date.
Of course the effective date of
an amendment can be postponed
if the time that it is to become
effective is actually submitted to
the electors as a part of the
amendment. This has not been
done, however, in the case of the

done, however, in the case of the
three amendments to be sub
mitted this year.
The board of elections will
send Identification and return
envelopes with your absent
voter ballots. When your bal
lots arrive, mark them without
permitting anyone to see the
markings; fold them; place them
in the Identification envelope;
and seal the envelope. You
should then take the envelope
to a Notary Public or other per-
son authorized to administer an
oath and fill in the information
requested on the outside of the
envelope and sign it in the
presence of such person. The
identification envelope must then
be placed in the return envelope
and be mailed or delivered in
person by the voter in time to
reach the board of elections by
1900 noon, Friday, October 80.
If it arrives later the ballot shall
not be counted.
Unless the board of elections
has decided to use two assistant
clerks to deliver ballots in per-
son to the voter, all disabled
ballots will be- mailed directly to
the applicant at his voting resi-
dence or place of confinement as
stated in the application. When
the ballots are received by the
disabled voter he must mark
them himself and cannot receive
the assistance of anyone in so
doing. He must fold them, place
them in the identification en-
velope and SEAL the envelope
BEFORE he exhibits the en-
velope to the Notary Public or
other person authorized to ad-
minister an oath. The signature
of the voter must be placed on
the identification envelope in the
presence of the Notary Public.
The Identification envelope
containing the voted ballots
must be returned to the board
of elections by mail not later
than 1900 noon, Friday, Oct. 80.
Preparing for the General
Election, November. 3 requires
many weeks of work on the part
of the Secretary of States office

| process for some time.
One of the most important
functions of boards of elections
will be the appointment of thou
sands of men and women who
will serve as election officials al

places. The deadline for such ap-

pleased to say that the politica

Ohio has made rapid stride!
in eliminating laxity, irregularltS

of this to the training which ha!
been given to intelligent, willing

New Chemical Weed
Killer Recommended
For Corn Field Use

Many farmers have found they
can control weeds in corn with
chemicals as we'll as by following
standard cultural practices. For
years, 2,4-D applied either pre- or
pOst-emergence has done an excel
lent job of controlling annual
broad leaved weeds in corn, says
County Agent James McHenry
Recently a new weed killer, ST.
maine so w, has come on the mar
ket for use on corn. In tests at the
University of Maryland Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, con-
Quoted by the Agronomy Depart
ment, this herbicide has looked
very good for controlling both an
nual broad leaved weeds and grass
type weeC's. In fields of corn where
Simazine has been used, no annual
weeds have come up all season
long.
AT present, Agent McHenry said,
the University of Maryland Ex-
tension. Service is making a trial
recommendation for the use of
four pounds to the acre of Sima-
zine so w as pre-emergence
spray in corn.
There are two disadvantages to
using this chemical: One is the
cost of the chemical; and the other
is its residual effect in the soil.
The cost problem can be over
come by band applications of the
chemicals over the row at time of
planting.
Because of its residual effect,
Simazine should not be used on
corn if you want to plant crop
on the same land next fall. If you
use Simazine this spring, its resi-
dual effect will have been dissa-
