It’s Your Duty To
Vote Next Tuesday
As we've said before on several
similar occasions, this is on'' new
paper that has no inclination to tel!
folks for whom they should vote.
It’s your ballot and your decision.
We hope you decide wisely and for
the best interests of the county, state
and nation.
However, we do want to add our
voice to the chorus of those who urge
every qualified voter to go to the
polls next Tuesday and express an
honest choice. There's room for dis
agreement about the parties and
about the candidates for offices: and
it is up to you to choose between
them. But there are no two ways
about your obligation to vote: It is
a duty inherent upon every Ameri
can, and you should not shrink it.
This is especially true this year.
Despite the dire prediction# of pessi
mists. we do come again to a free
election. And it is being held in the
middle of a war being waged for the
right to hold free elections, among
other things.
The one sure way for our democ
racy to fall into evil hands is for our
people to neglect to vote or to take
the ballot lightly. The destiny of
the nation itself is our personal des
tiny. It is up to each of us to de
cide and register our wishes for the
future of our government.
Your county, your state, and your
nation needs your vote next Tuesday.
Vote!
Congratulations To
War Fund Workers
As we go to press, it is evident that
Washington County has “dood” it
again—gone "over the top" in a
campaign related to the national war
effort. This time it is for the Unit
ed War Fund; and our satisfaction
over its early success this year is
heightened by the fact that we fell
down on the same job a year ago,
one of the very few occasions when
we failed to measure up.
Our sincerest congratulations to P.
Bruce Bateman, county chairman,
and his coterie of loyal workers
throughout the county, ft is a
splendid accomplishment and you
have a right to be proud of it.

Mrs. Everett Urges
Women To Vote
Xorth Carolina women do not take
the interest in affairs of government
that they showed a decade ago, in
the opinion of Mrs. B. B Everett,
vice-chairman of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
Pointing to the pride which w’omen
in this state showed in their first op
portunity to participate in the af
fairs of state and national govern
ments twenty-five years ago, Mrs.
Everett declared that the prediction
at that time was that women would
bring about great changes and re
forms.
"Although possibly for a time we
tried to live up to our new oppor
tunities, in recent years we have suf
tered a lapse in interest. Xot only
have we failed to show’ the proper
interest in public affairs, but we have
neglected to use our right to vote, and
we have failed to train our young
women to realize their opportunities,”
said Mrs. Everett.
bhe explained that women this
year are expected to cast more than
sixty per cent of the vote and warn
ed this goal will not be met unless
each woman in the "smallest, most
remote precincts of Xorth Carolina
registers and votes."
"In this year of decision it is every
woman's duty to get out and help. We
[must not leave this matter entirely
to the registrars and the election of
ficials." asserted Mrs. Everett in
pointing to the opportunity women of
Xorth Carolina have to play a part
in the decisions of government.
Mrs. Everett reminded democratic
women of the state that registrars will
be in designated places in their res
pective precincts with books open
for registration on October 15, 21,
and 28. She urges all women of
Xorth Carolina to keep these dates
in mind, but in doing so not to for
get election day—-November 7.

Stanford N. Mizelle
With Famed Fighter
Squadron in Britain
An Eighth Air Force Fighter Sta
tion. England.—Staff Sergeant Stan
ford N. Mizelle. of Plymouth. N C..
has received official recognition of
his skill as an airplane mechanic in
a Mustang squadron here.
General orders recently published
at this Eighth Fighter Command
Mustang base, under the command of
Col. William J. Cummings. jr„ of
Lawrence. Kan., awarded a special
qualification to Sergeant Mizelle
which he will wear on his uniform.
The order further stated that he was
given a rating of "excellent" in his
performance of duty.
Sergeant Mizelle is member of an
Eighth Fighter Command P-51 Mus
tang group which recently passed the
450-mark in victories over Nazi planes,
becoming the third American fighter
group in the European Theater of
Operations to make such a record.
Sergeant Mizelle is a veteran air
plane mechanic in a Mustang squad
ron based here and his work contrib
uted to the group's high record of
combat efficiency. As a part of the
organization which enables the fight
er pilots to devote all their time and
energy to the pursuit and destruction
of the Luftwaffe, he is helping to keep
American fighter planes in combat
against the enemy over every corner
of occupied Europe.
This fighter group established a
record for American units in this
theater when it destroyed 44 enemy i
planes on the ground and 7 in the i
air on one mission. And in four low
level attacks, the group destroyed 118
German planes on the ground, an av
erage of more than 29 per mission.
Sergeant Mizelle was employed as
a projectionist by the Plymouth The
atre before he went into the service
in May. 1942.
