Today's article deals with a Question on whether a special elec tion shall be decided by a majority pt voters registered or by a major ity of those voting.) On Tuesday.

To illustrate the meaning of tlu. proposed change: L'nder the pr -ent voting requirements, if loon voters are registered ("qualified voters are held to be "regi.tered ' j voters' 501 votes must be ca.-t lor ! the proposition voted on in order to vote it in. If 500 voles are cm l for and one against it. the propor tion is voted out. because 500 vote. are not a "majority'' of the quali fied voters" . Under the proposed voting re quirement, ii 1000 voters are regis tered and 501 vote 251 for and LVi'l against it. the proposition is voted hi, because 251 are a majority of those voting. Similarly, if only KM) Of the 1000 registered vote, and 51 are for and 49 against it. the piop- t vimpte, me tn registering and failing Inn up on election day.

But now, she said, fashions in passion have changed. Bobby-soxers currently wo for the nonchalant type, Robert Mitchum, and the next-door type, Van Johnson. "The hot love - making of the silent mqvies would seem pretty old-fashioned today ," Miss Joy said. "Styles in love change as much as they do in clothes." The actress, making a comeback after years of retirement in Colum bia's "Air Hostess." was one of Cecil B. DeMille's brightest stars in silent hits like "The Ten Com mandments,' '"Manslaughter" and "Saturday Night." "In the society dramas I did for Mr. DeMille," she recalled. "I were creations that were the last word in chic. But those feathers, jewels and brocades would be considered over-dressing'today." Love By Mauling And the same thing holds for the movie clinches that titillated mom and dad. "It wasn't love-making in the old days; it was mauling," she said. "A leading man glowered at his lady, took a strangle grip on her, bent her back as far as her verte brae would permit and started kissing. "He didn't stop with the lady's lips. He covered her face, her throat, her shoulders and right down to her fingertips." Fans wouldn't like that today, Miss Joy believes. She's sure the Johnston office wouldn't. Miss Joy thinks modern love making is just as effective, anyway. "Glenn Ford and Van Johnson are more subtle and more believ ahie " she said. "They aren't as stormy and theatrical as the old time actors. Their love-making is streamlined."
