LAND USE PROJECT
Work on the land use planning
program for Franklin County is
underway. A land use planning
committee of farm men and
women has been organized in
each of the ten townships and
two meetings of each committee
have been held during the Month
of March. In these meetings, the
committees have mapped the laud
of their respective townships into
land use areas according to varia
i ions which exist lu physical fea
tures, type of farming or specific
problems which affect any par
ticular section of the community.
They have discussed in township
committee meetings the land use
conditions which affect farming
and rural life in the township ami
have described in detail the Phy
sical features aud other condi
tions which affect farming in each
<if the sub-divisions of the town
ships which they have mapped.
This activity by representative
groups of farm men and women
throughout the County is a part
of a nation-wide program design
ed to give farmers and farm
women in each County an oppor
tunity to direct all agricultural
programs for their County. The
work done by the ten committees
in Franklin County during the
;ast> two weeks represents a step
iu the development of a farm
program for the County. In de
scribing present land u*';coldi
lions in each township they have
?aid the foundation for a systema
tic study of farm problems and
what to do about them The com
mittees will hold additional meet
ings during the present year for
the purpose of working ?ut "

SYSTEM FOR ELEC
TIONS AND PRIMARIES
(By W. A. Lucas, Chairman
i State Board o? Elections) j
One of the far reaching changes
in the election laws made by the |
I 1939 General Assembly has to do
with setting up a new system of
| registration In primary elections.
Heretofore, only general
election registration book has
been used for both primaries and
i elections. Under the new law
| there will be separate registra
tion books for primaries and elec
i tions.
The voter will be entered 011
! the primary registration book of
I the party of which he is a mem
ber and hereafter only the pri
mary registration books will be
; furnished the registrars for the
primaries.
There will be either a complete
relisting of voters or a new reg
: ist'ration in each county in the
state, as may be determined by
the County Board of Elections of
each county, at the meeting of
such on Saturday, March 23rd.
In those counties in which it
new registration is ordered thai
books will be open during the ;
usual registration period before
the May primary.
In the new registration the vo- '
ter will be registered 011 the gen- j
' eral registration book and also on j
the appropriate primary regis-1
tration book in accordance with
his party affiliation.
Independents will not lie regis
tered on any primary book.
In those counties in which a re- j
listing of voters instead of a new i
registration shall be ordered, tile
Chairman of the County Board of
I Elections, with such assistance as
jinay be necessary, will begin 011
[April 2nd to transcribe to new
1 general registration books the
; names of all persons shown by
poll books to have voted in the
elections or primaries of 193fi j
and 1938.
A list of all uames on the old j
registration books, not shown by j
; the poll books to have voted, will '
be published or advertised and j
such as are thus published or ad
ivertised will have to appear dur
