I'd like to think so because it points up our failures and the things we need to do to correct them. With two years to prepare the election, machines used for voting were not strategica spot ted. They did not function proper ly. Signature slips for the ballot box were not on hand for one poll to open until 7:55 a.m. Voters were | permitted to arry candidate's | sandout cards within the curtained machine area and leave them here. Registered voters were un- | vble to find their proper precincts One polling place was reported | to have had the names of certain tandidates obscured with tape.

GARBAGE SITUATION Many calls have been received urday’s paper about our garbage situation. It is encouraging to note that people really are interested in their hometown. Most of the sug- stions have centered about the ct that so often people leave their garbage in open containers. It is an unpleasant as well as unhealthy habit. Key Books By A. de T. Gingras (ELIZABETH THE QUEEN by Marion Crawford - a biography of Queen Elizabeth of England, pub- lished by Prentice Hall, Inc., New | York City, 236 pages.) Marion Crawford, the governess | of the princesses of England, Mar garet and Elizabeth, has taken up- on herself to aid in the preserva- tion of the myth that still partially clings to the word princess in the Western world.
