ONE OF THE MANY that signed the liquor petition.
2,294 Citizens Sign Petition
An unexpected 41% of regis
tered Scotland county citizens
signed aliquor petition on Tues
day. The petition called a gen
eral election in the county. The
election will decide whether or
not ABC stores and package
beer will be legally sold in the
county.
Those canvassing tor sig
natures were at the eleven poll
boxes in the county from the
opening at 6:30 a.m. until 6:30
p.m. when the polls shut down.
The greater majority of those
passing the petitions were St.
Andrews students and faculty.
During the 12 hour period, 2,294
names were placed on the peti
tions as 5,632 votes were cast
tor governor.
The most active polls were
the National Guard Armory, the
Court House, and the Com
munity Building. One report
came in from the Community
Building saying that over 200
signatures had been obtained
over a three hour period.
Co-ord inator of Tuesday’s
activities at the polls was St.
Andrews philosophy professor
Dick Prust. At a small cele
bration after the polls closed at
the Ye Olde Worlde, Prust men
tioned he was extremely pleased
with the results and the sup
port the movement had received
so far.
The 41%, however, is not the
total figure. Throughout the
county, petitions are still cir
culating that will raise the
figure to 50%, it is hoped. This
is the percentage that the Scot
land County Committee for Le
gal Control had hoped to obtain.
