Gaitha Pegg, 1942 Vine St., Lincoln. Letter writers will please sign their names, but they will not be revealed i£ so desired.) Dear Sir: Before the last election I was constantly worried by somo com munist seeking to convert me to his atheistic religion or beliefs. It seemed strange to me that these jteople would lowerate the cujntal lsts as much as jtossible, yet every thing they wore and all the modem conveniences which they seem to en joy as much as anyone were .due to production by capitalism. I am also wondering why it is that these radi cals seem to choose the ignorant and the dejected to practice ujton. A little smooth talk will easily be guile an ignorant man and a vivid imaginary picture will influence a disheartened man ns does a mirage l'ool the thirsty. It seems a bit ab surd at this day and time to try and picture communal ownership and people herded together and be ing driven nbowfc tvn cattle, not hav ing the intelligence to recognize a supreme king. When 1 spoke of religion and cited examples of destruction of churches in Russia and asked if they believe in God, the reply was, “We question that,” and with that the argument broke up. Yours truly, JOE CAMBELL Dear Sir: f I know a number of people in this town who do more talkingafter an election about who should have been put in office and why, than do the executives in office. I had listened to ju«t a lot of such stuff one day, and I happened to ask the “jawer” whom he voted for, and he replied that he hand’t registered and could not vote. As foolish as this is, it is done time and again by those who are too lazy or disinterested to take their rightful part in an election, yet they expect things to turn out as they desire them. T noticed in last issue of the paper a reminder that it was time for eligible voters to register. I think this was a very timely reminder and that if it were heeded, it would lend more weight to the self-esteem ed politicians talk and would make better citizens out of a lot of us. I believe that the people should be constantly urged, through your paper, to vote. SAM COLEMAN WESTERN UNIVERSITY REFUSED FUND Topeka, Kansas—The state of Kansas House appropriation com mittee left out recommendation for an appropriation for the upkeep and maintenance of Western University, the A. M. E. school located at Kan sas City, Kansas.

The Dutch, who founded South Africa, seemed to favor the separation of the executive and legislative branches of government In two different cities.

Taxi Telephone Number Big Taxi users In Budapest, Hungary, have gotten what they desired—a cen tral taxi station for all machines. But the number given it by the telephone company, they say, Is Just too much. It Is 44444.

Cause of Blushing Blushing Is merely a form of "side tracked” thinking, says a professor of philosophy at Swarthmore college. Blushing, he asserted, Is caused by blood rushing to the face.
