County Registration Supervisor John. England looks for a qualified list of ap-! proximately 6400 Monroe men and women that may express its preferences among | the candidates at the first primary, May 7. This is quite the heaviest registration rol] in the recent history of Monroe county. County officials believe it is due to the fact many new residents have registered in the county for. the first time, to a new crop of youths reaching voting age and to the registration of oider persons who never before took an interest in a primary i election.

The Citizen wishes to call attention of county officials to other rumors rife, in the city. It is being grape-vined around that the names of men and women, long since mourned as dead by their relatives, ..still appear on the registration books, and that there may be some other irregularities among those listed as qualified to vote. s also whispered that a number of aliens are among those registered. While The Citizen has learned from It | long experience never to take much stock | in rumors or whispered information, the | | mere fact that such stories are. | bandied around should be cause for ex- amination of the facts by our. county offi- | | cials. If the books do not show any such | irregularities, the true facts should be presented for public consideration; if there | are any irregularities, the situation. should | be cleaned up in advance of the primary | election, so that there can be no, cause for. | any stench after, the votes are counted. BABY BONDS TOO. SUCCESSFUL! | A few years ago the Treasury De- | partment offered for sale “Baby Bonds,” | designed to provide a saving medium for individuals. The plan offered a bond, paying $100 in ten years, for $75, Sales steadily in- | creased and more than $3,800,000,000 maturity value of the bonds have been sold. In December the Treasury ruled that | | the bonds were permissible investments | | for pension funds and sales jumped up- | | ward by $40,000,000. a month, Then in January the regulations were changed to | bar. pension. funds from buying the bonds. Now, under another regulation, the Treasury decides not to permit corpora- tions or institutional investors to buy the bonds. This will reduce sales. by from | $150,000,000 to $200,000,000,in the next year. Individuals in this country, its pos- sessicns or temporarily abroad, will be per- mitted to buy the bonds. Here we have the Treasury moving to stop the increased sale of the Baby Bonds, which threatened to provide all the. money | that the government required. Nearly. one- third of the little bonds was being taken by big investcrs, such as institutions, trus- tees and corporations. In a word, the Baby Bonds were too successful! ELKS DONATE BLOOD. Several lodges of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks have organized blood donor squads for the purpose of giv- ing transfusions to-those unable. to. pay. for them or obtain them otherwise. A pioneer in this humanitarian move- ment is the lodge at Hagerstown, Md., whose members at least six lives since the squad was, or- ganized about a year ago. The blood of 36 members in physical condition to make | jonations has been examined and _ classi- fied, with information concerning them furnished to doctors and hospitals. in the community. It is understood that these volunteer donors are not to be called upon except in | eases of emergency in which no, relative or close friend of the patient with the proper type of blood is available, or the services of professional donors can not be afforded. | The fine spixit of charity and, helpful- ness shown, by these Elks can not be too highly commended, ‘and their example will no doubt. inspire. many. other. organizations to render a similar worthy service in their | respective communities. being | are credited with saving | As Taken From The FIVE YEARS.
