Cast Your Ballot On November 7th by John Lewis More than in any other period in the history of black political participa tion, it is crucial that black voters turn out to cast their ballots on No vember 7, 1972. So many of our leaders have fallen and so many of our brothers and sis ters have given their lives for the exercise of the ballot. In recent years, since many of the physi cal and legal barriers to the ballot have been re moved, too many black people seem to take their rights for granted. For example, only slightly over half of those Blacks who have been register ed in previous elections have actually turned out to vote in national elec tions. In 1972, black people cannot - . afford to sif home on election day, or conduct business as usual. Our business must be to see that our votes are cast for much-needed change at the local, state, and national levels. It is time that we understand the nature of our oppres sion. It is time that we realize that we are not victimized only by spora dic outbursts of racist demagoguery, but that we are daily victimized and oppressed by the decision made behind closed doors at city halls, state capi tols, the halls of Con gress, and the White House. As an organization, the Voter Education Project (VEP) has given more time, efforts, and re sources for minority vo ter registration in 1972 than at any other time in ten-year history. Our la bor has been fruitful and. AVOID THIS COMMON FIRE SAFETY BLUNDER Though water is one of a fireman's most important tools, it will not extinguish all fires. So, for safety's sake, it's important for you to avoid the mistake of using water on the wrong kind of fin. Here, courtesy of the Hartford Insurance Group's Junior Fire Marshal program, are the two kinds of fires that require other-than-water extinguishing: 1.

This is an important and ne cessary first step, but our work is only half done. It matters little that we have registered more than a million and a half black voters In the past six years if half of that number do not vote. We must address our selves to this problem with the kind of commit ment and dedication which characterized the civil rights struggle of the 1960'5. It is indeed a new day for us, but we must not lose that spirit, that drive, that sense of ur gency which sustained our movement in earlier years. We have not yet overcome, but, with our ballots and renewed sense of dedication, we can move closer to our goals. At the local level. In every community, we must be about the task of preparing black people to cast their ballot with so phistication in 1972. We must try, first of all, to motivate the masses to tive, but dangerous as well. If, for instance, you throw water in a skillet containing flaming grease, the mixture will react violently and make the fire bum faster. How, then, can you put out such a fire? The easiest way is with baking soda, a box of which should be kept near your stove. 2. Class C Fires: These are electrical fires on which water can't be used because water John Lewis 1b Exe cutive Director of the Vo ter Education Project, Inc. (VEP), based In At lanta, Georgia. This arti cle Is one In a series sponsored by the Youth Citizenship Fund, Inc.

We must find creative ways to sti mulate our brothers and sisters to recognize the importance of the ballot as a weapon for change. Aside from the prob lem of mobilizing voters, we must also give serious attention to acquainting new voters with the bal loting process so that they may cast an effec tive ballot. Our research efforts of recent elec tions have shown that a large number of black ballots are disqualified for various technical rea sons such as mlsmarking, voting for too many can didates, or Improperly folding paper ballots. Each voter needs to be prepared to know what Is expected of him, wheth er he votes by machine, computer, or paper bal lot. Such citizenship edu cation classes can be most effective by local groups taking the initia tive and holding seminars and sessions throughout their communities prior to November 7. We must also be con cerned with election security on November 7, because we know also, based on past experience, that there are those who would rob us of our ballot power. Again at the local level, poll watchers and black election officials should be trained and ready to perform the necessary tasks on elec tion day to insure that every black vote Is count ed and that all voters are properly recorded. conducts electricity.
