PARTISAN bloc-vote organi
zations are putting heavy pres
sure upon the Administration to
seek new legislation purportedly
designed “to protect the right to
vote.”
Many of the proposals being
advocated by
these groups
are so extreme
that the y

pletely divest
sover e i g n
states and lo
cal registrars
of their consti-
tutional authority to determine t
the <|ualif(cations of voters \
throughout the United States, r
and place that authority in the I i
hands of federal agents. <
These self-serving ultra-liber- If
ale not only want to control fed
eral elections, but state and local i
elections as well. And unfortu- ! I
nat ly. their move has built up a t
great deal of impetus. \ I

occasions. 1 favor the full and ! i
unhindered enjoyment by all of I i
our citizens of every right that I i
is guaranteed them by the Con- I1
stitution, including the right to
vote. Voting is one of the most I i
fundamental rights and respon- |<
sibilities of American citizens, I I
ami in no way should qualified <
citizens be denied their fran- t
chise. i
The right to vote is probably 1
the most protected right we
have. Prior to there were I
six criminal and nine civil sta- <
lutes to preserve and protect the j i
right to vote. With the enact
ment of the so-called Civil Rights
Act last year, still another vot-/
ing law was placed on the books.

These laws as they now exist
are more than sufficient to pro
tect the voting rights of anyone,
and over the years citizens with
legitimate claims that their right
to vote has been infringed upon
have found effective redress in
our courts, both state and fed
eral. The proper means for the
correction of alleged voting
wrongs is with the courts and
in the strict enforcement of ex
isting law, not in the enactment
of new unconstitutional force
legislation.
IT IS THE avowed aim of
those behind the move for new
voter legislation to create all
powerful federal voter registrars
which would enable them to take
over the election machinery of
states, cities, and counties.
I can think of nothing more
abhorrent, to our representative
form of government than the
thought of politically-inspired
federal agents going into our
states and local communities and
deciding who may or may not
vote for public officials, without
regard for qualifications or the
responsibility that goes with the
right of franchise.
No constitutional doctrine is
more clearly stated or legally
documented than that providing
that the authority for fixing the
qualifications of voters rests •
solely with the individual states,
and the Supreme Court has so
held on numerous occasions.
Any attempt to usurp this au
thority should be resisted by the
Congress with every resource at
its command.

says Mr. Spivey, are much
more satisfactory for the gar
dener who wants the fun of
producing his own fruit and
doesn’t have much space in
which to do it.

GIRL SCOUTS GIVE SHOW
Last Monday night the Ki

Miss Mildred Brown and Miss
Pamela Bates discuss the out
standing work done by Girl i
i Scouts both within and beyond
the boundaries of the U.S.
Slides showing Girl Scout ac
tivities throughout America and ;
the Latin American countries
were shown. The entire pro
gram was most enjoyable and
informative.
Both Miss Brown and Miss I
Bates are Scout leaders in the
Forest Park area and are pre
sently making plans for a
European tour during the sum

teresting new revelations
through a good book.
It has been said, “Teachers
teach the children how to read,
librarians and parents teach
them to read.” A judge in
New York said he had never
had before him a juvenile de
linquent who was a good reader.
Surely we are also grateful
for our library here on Col
lege St. in Forest Park. They
can serve us best if we make
use of the books available and
the provided facilities.
Jesus said, “But these are
written that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Son of God
and that in believing ye might
have life through His name.”
