Page 2 Business Manager BOY SCOUTS ASK YOU TO VOTE .@iiutix The Boy Scouts of America, jointly with the Free- doms Foundation, Inc., will undertake their largest single activity ever staged in the United States on November Ist, when most of two million members call on the 30,000,000 homes throughout the United States to urge citizens to vote. The Scouts will leave cardboard Liberty Bells on front door knobs, which urge citizens to vote as they think and to think when they vote, Of course, the campaign is non-partisan, without ref- erence to any candidate or party. Recent figures show that there are 94,000,000 adults eligible to vote in the United States. If precedent is followed this year, only half of them will vote, which was the situation in 1948, . the last Presidential election. To better this percentage, the Boy Scouts this year are distributing a million posters, to stores and offices, urging every eligible person to regis- ter so that he will be able to vote in November. The second job is that of visiting the thirty million homes in America and hanging voting ‘reminders, in the form of the cardboard Liberty Bell, on door knobs. This ‘will be done only a few days before the election. Scout Jeaders hopé the peas will stimulate the adult popula- tion into nfeeting responsibilities of good citizenship and better the percentage of eligible voters who take part in presidential elections in the United States, } If this can be done, the Scouts will have effected a major impact on the political mood of the country, The effort by millions of our youngsters deserves the coopera- tion of every voter, The highways are claiming more lives than the Ko- rean battlefield, in case you are interested, F ‘An advertised product will be chosen over an un-ad- Yertised one, by nine out of ten shoppers. We heard about a lady the other day who had lost 160 pounds. That should make your problem a simple one. BEFORE SWALLOW HAL BOYLE SAYS ‘8 By SAUL PETT (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK #—Dear Hal: I hope you have a nice vacation. Really I do. What I mean is, there’s no need to feel bad leaving me to do your column while you fish in Spain or take the sun in Capri. No need at all. Oh, I’ve had a little trouble get- ting off the ground, but don’t wor- ry. Looking over the files, I noticed that in just the last few months you've written about balding wom- en, balding men, fur-bearing cows, losing weight, stealing the Queen Mary, office collections, how to spoil a wife, in defense of the common cold, how to make a mil- lion dollars, about politics, life, death, war, peace, love and hate. That, of course, leaves me plenty of room, You've scarcely touched advanced calculus, the dialectic overtones of nihilism or the best way to install a remote-control wiring system. Looking for ideas, I’ve roamed through the whole office, but, it seems, you beat me to it. Every brain around here has been picked | clean. The folks here now act like | people in a small town after a carnival has passed through. They just ain’t talking to any more strangers. For the last 36 hours, I’ve fol- lowed my kids around with pencil and paper but they haven't said anything particularly funny or poignant. True, Kathy, the 6-year- old, keeps yelling she wants a loose tooth, but how much can you do with that? Besides, what- ever clever things the kids have /have been so bad if thieves just | the autumnal north are done in the past, you've already| took the ordinary pumpkins but |thinking of the lucky but, now this leaves me with no ammunition to renew the battle of the sexes, Talking to a man up at the zoo, I thought I had an idea. But even that subject is tied up. Someone else is doing “How To Live With A Skunk.” And where have all the press agents gone to? The best they have come up with so far is a tip on a dog trainer who is taking public speaking courses at New York Uni- versity, I called the guy and asked him why and he said to get more authority in his voice. That about covered that. I talked to another fellow who said he had just come across | country from California by motor- "cycle and had some fresh ideas on the international situation. Fine then he suggested I submit my questions in writing and he would answer them in writing. Not much point, I said, and, be- sides, wouldn't we look silly pass- ing notes back and forth like a couple of spies? He shrugged and said, well, it was-just a suggestion. Now about your trip, I said, and he said, just a moment. You | understand, he said, I'll have to charge you for the interview. Pe- riod, Thirty, End Story. But don’t worry, Hal, something | will turn up. Meanwhile, I hope | you have a grand time. Really I do, | | KING-SIZE PUMPKIN |1S STOLEN AKRON, 0.

The articles have appear ed in Holiday Magazine, and the November issue details the drive from Jacksonville to the nation’s southernmost city over “the spec- tacular causeway system that ex- tends Route 1 to Key West, more than 100 miles out in the Gulf.” Mr. Stong and his family made stops at Rock Harbor and Mara- thon before “soaring over true is- lands of ancient limestone” on to Key West. The author’s impressions of the island are given in interesting de- tail.

It has taken a long time, but now the gals are going full-steam ahead in the campaign to get out the vote. “Women deserve the major cred- for today’s record registration,” says a spokesman for the Ameri- can Heritage Foundation, a non- partisan, nonprofit organization whose job is to co-ordinate the ef- forts of the scores of organizations waging individual campaigns to get citizens to the polls. “There are 26 million workers on the job at present, pledged to get out the vote, and most of them are wonien.” Virtually all the women’s organ- izations in the country are work- ing on campaigns to get voters to the polls.
