ARE YOU A REGISTERED AND QUALIFIED
VOTER OF CHATHAM COUNTY?
A simple question that can be easily answered “yes” or
“no.”
This brief article will not go into the many REASONS
why you should be nor will jt attempt to tell you WHO to
vote for, should you be a registered voter.
The PRIVILEGE of voting is the greatest duty and obli¬
gation of every American citizen. That privilege is acquired
through the simple medium of registering with the proper au¬
thorities at the Chatham County courthouse.
ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS OBLIGATION? Can you
forego your duty to your country and community by YOUR
laxity in NOT registering.
THINK IT OVER . . . and REGISTER not tomorrow or
the da after BUT TODAY.

Field Secretary Lauds
Alliance Publication
“I read with considerable in¬
terest the last issue of your
paper. I think that the com¬
munity is to be congrautlated
on the growth and development
of the paper after only three or
four issues. It is a very newsy
one and I know must be eagerly
awaited by the total community
each time it appears.
“Even at the risk of being
repetitious, may I again say
that the Alliance is turning out
a very swell paper. I am par¬
ticularly impressed with the
upsurge of activities, with such
new activities as a photography
and youth canteen group.
“Until the Section is able to
get out its own newspaper, we
are planning a news letter. I
hope you will not inflict copy¬
right privileges on us because I
plan to use parts of your paper
to indicate the new activities
that are being conducted
throughout the area.”
