A simple way to check for this type of leak is to remove the tank cover and place a few drops of food coloring in the tank, preferably when the toilet will not be used for several hours. If the color seeps into the bowl, there is a leak.

Clayton, chair man of the Warren County Democratic Party, said the pre cinct meetings are an import ant step in the party's overall election year strategy. "We're a ground-up party," said Clayton. "Our strength has always been in the hundreds of good people we have in precincts across the state. The precinct is the build ing block of the whole structure. If our precincts are strong, our county organizations are strong and our state party is strong." Each precinct will elect dele gates to the Warren County con vention on April 5. Precincts will have the chance to pass resolutions expressing their views on political and public policy issues. Clayton said he expected a good turn-out for the March 6 precinct meetings. "It's amazing how much energy and enthusiasm there is among Democrats these days. They're bound and determined to win this year, and they're willing to do the nitty-gritty work that's needed." Precinct meetings are held at each precinct polling place. Anybody who needs to know the location of his or her polling place or who wants more infor mation about the precinct meetings should call T.
