Vote As You Please - But Vote
Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 8) is election day. You have a lot
to lose if you do not vote.
In the present critical world situation and with economic problems
at home, men of the highest skill and capacity are needed to conduct
our affairs, both nationally and locally. In our free society, the caliber
of our elected officials depends upon the choice of the people.
To take part in deciding the grave issues of our time and to demon
strate to the world the vigor of our free institutions, all of us should
participate in this election — at least to the extent of casting our
ballots.
All of us have a big stake in the competence of the elected officials
who make and administer our laws and in the positions they take in the
current issues. Their actions affect such things as the amount of taxes
we pay, the economic stability of our country, the type of schools our
children attend, the health of the community in which we live, our
very future as individuals and as a nation.
Maybe you think your vote will not matter in the final results. But
you are wrong. Your vote could decide an election. Historically, one
vote has had a lot to do with things in this country: President Ruther
ford Hayes was elected by a majority of only one electoral vote in 1876.
Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were tied in electoral votes. The
House of Representatives elected Jefferson. Just one vote elected
California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Texas to statehood. More
recently, the Draft Act of World War II passed the House by a single
vote.
The right to vote is a priceless heritage of a free people. It is your
ticket to continued freedom and the kind of government — local and
national — that you want.
So, do not throw away the vote that you are entitled to cast in to
morrow’s election. It may elect your candidate to office.
Intelligent voting is a basic act off good citizenship. Be a responsible
citizen. Make up your own mind. Vote as you please—BUT VOTE!
Towel Mill's Leaders
In Quality, Efficiency
Competition continues to be keen
among the Towel Mill’s weavers and
loomfixers in the low seconds-high pro
duction program.
To encourage quality and efficiency in
the weave room the Towel Mill each
week recognizes those weavers and fix
ers with the best records.
The “Weavers of the Week” are those
with the lowest percentage of seconds
with respect to the standards for the
various loom groups.
The “top” fixers are determined
through a combination of low seconds
and high quality on the sections for
which they are responsible.

avoid raw edges. She backstitches each
corner to prevent unraveling. After
