We also wish to inform the pub- lic that we are in no way connect- ed with the Monroe‘ County Dem- @eratic committee which is a sep- arate and distinct body represent- ing all Democratic candidates. However our committee is co- Operating with all good Demo- crats in furthering Governor Stevenson's cause. As far as any remarks made by Mr. Saunders concerning Mr. Smathers, those remarks were per- sonal opinions as a citizen and were not intended to be the re- marks of this committee or any one else as Mr. Saunders had the courage to sign his own name to his statements. ‘ Very truly yours, Tom O.

Housing Authority head Kermit ‘a Lewin who attended the meeting clarified the issue by saying that the Navy turned down the request for land in Ft. Taylor because they had a firm reason: that of expan- sion of the Navy itself. He said that the agreement to hold back on the transference of the 74 units until the others being built are finished was good cooperation and would help. “Now the problem is to find land in town,” Lewin said, “where ‘we can build the project which we are willing to build. It looks at this time as if we can’t have a central site and that the new units will have to be scattered on land which is vacant or which owners are willing to sell. It may take just a week, or it may take months, but we are beginning the survey at once and will build when we have land. It may be that we will have to put up one or two housing units té a parcel of land since it seems impossible to locate one central spot. How- ever, we will continue the in- vestigation and see what comes of it,”, Lewin said. Me added that the City Com- “It's this way,” he explained; “What appears to be a one- family house usually turns out to be the shelter for three fam- | ilies or more. If we tore down 20 old houses we would probably have to find homes for a least 90 displaced persons. That's why we must have a survey to see what can be done, and where, even if it is in scattered loda- tions,” Lewin concluded. Stone the helplessly tied animal, strike it with sticks, tease and frighten it. Another phase of flagrant cruel- ty is the staking out of horses in but finds that the owners keep moving the horses to various lots and so-avoid detection. It some- times takes weeks to locate an owner. Meantime the ponies and horses suffer as only a dumb ani- mal can, patiently and hopelessly.

That’s just the beginning.” For the 34 unopposed Democra- | tic candidates for county and state office, the voter pulls one other lever. As if that were not sufficient for any one election day, the voter must then pull eleven different le- vers expressing his approval or opposition to that number of cons- titutional amendments to be voted upon No- ember 4. Pinder will hold a briefing ses- sion for all election inspectors and clerks next Thursday night, Octo- ber 30 at the courthouse. They will be dri" .in the new 2 method of voting, namely that opposed candidates must have separate le- vers pulled for each. As for the voters, Pinder urged that those who are un :re ‘about procedures on election day, come to his office next week and pick up sample ballots. They are in the process ~f being printed now. If voters are eager and want to stu- dy the amendments before then they can do so in Pinder’s office, where he has the official ballot available. It cannot be taken out of his presence, however. The eleven constitutional amend- ments have been printed twice in The Citizen. Several of them directly affect the form of government of Mon- roe County, Amendment Three is extremely controversial and has had pro-and-con opinions written about it in The Citizen. Amend- | W. W.
