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.

to tell central you want “four-double
