Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH THE READER'S DATE BOOK Heritage Foundation Sponsors 'Get Out the Vote' Promotion Within the next few weeks, and continuing until the November election, the American Heritage Foundation, in association with other national and community organizations, will launch a national "Get Out the Vote" campaign that should prove of interest to every community in the nation. And it is a campaign in which the home towns of America should participate. The first national "Get Out the Vote" campaign was initiated by the foundation in the off year election of 1950. The purpose was to encourage by every means available, the largest possible vote across the nation, regardless of politics and political affiliations. It was a successful campaign. A I record breaking total of 42,324,232 voters went to the polls. This was an increase of five million over the previous record (1938) for a election. The score on voting In this coun-try has not been good in recent years. For exam-- : 1 pie: In 1880, 78.4 " ' per cent of the MAIft. eligible voters of the country cast their STREET ballots, in 1900 elec-- ; FEATURE 'j . 1 dropped to 73.5 -- - per cent. In 'the 1920 election, first vote by women, only 49.3 per cent voted, and in the 1950 election the total was down to 44 per cent. The inescapable conclusion, there-fore, is that the right to vote an inherent right and the first duty of citizenship, is being waived by millions of Americans. These fig-ures are startling, but they are true down to the home town level. And that is the reason the small communities of the nation should find the "Get Out the Vote" promo-tion of first importance. to national organizations and the citizen committees kits of working tools and information material. One of these kits is an informational guide containing details of the or- - ganization and conduct of commu-nity registration and voting pro-grams, and related activities. It would be an invaluable guide to the home town committee wishing to sponsor a "Register and Vote" campaign. (4) A national program of awards that will give recognition to asso- - clations, communities, and work- - ing committees producing the best record of effort and result in sup- - port of the "Register and Vote" campaign. To dramatize the importance of voting in the national elections of November, the foundation will offer a series of unique awards to com-munities, counties and organiza-tion conducting outstanding non-partisan, community wide cam-paigns to bring out the vote. The foundation will not make any awards directly to individuals, but suggests that it would be a good idea for communities and organizations to bestow special honors and recog-nition on those citizens who contrib-ute most to the local voting effort. This is the general pattern that the campaign will take on a nation-al scale. What it will accomplish on the home town level, however, will depend on the local group or com-mittee that sponsors the program. The American Heritage Foun-dation is ready to help any com-munity group that wishes to participate. The address Is: American Heritage Foundation, 25 West 45th Street, New York 36, N.Y. THE MGHT TO VOTE IS AN INHERENT RIGHT THE FIRST DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP! National 4-- H Club Week March 3-J- 7 The week of March 3-- has been designated National 4-- Club Week. The annual event is the week dur-ing which members display handicraft work and publicizes its activities and accomplishments. There are almost 2,000,000 4-- members in the United States to-day. In addition there are 200.000 adult club leaders and about 12,000,. 000 former club members. The causes are many and com-plex, but the effect is clear and unmistakable. That something: should be done about it is evi-dent that something can be done is clear, too. Not only the results of the 1950 program can be cited, but the demand made upon the American Heritage Foundation by hundreds' of or-ganizations and communities which participated in the last campaign has been overwhelm-ing. As early as the spring of 1951 requests were received from many of the 800 commu-nity committees who worked In the 1950 campaign for another drive to stimulate voting in the presidential year election. As a result, the American Her-itage Foundation has devised a four pointprogram for the 1952 cam-paign: (1) To devise and maintain a canopy of national publicity and In-formation that will keep the im-portance of registering and voting before the people from now until election time. This includes printed information materials, special kit of sample editorials for urban, rural and business papers, a variety of newspaper advertisements on the subject of voting, and a general kit containing publicity aids and pro-motion plans and ideas. (2) This is to be done In concert with others In an effort to bring the people and the candidates together for clarification and better under-standing of all the issues. Most recent "citizen action" campaigns have been marked by an accusatory tone. So, in or-der to avoid these negative as-pects of "finger pointing" and accusations, the "Register and Vote" campaign in 1952 will at-tempt to take a positive slant. It will attempt to develop a re-awakened sense of personal re-sponsibility on the part of the citizen by use of television, mo-tion pictures, radio, rallies, fo-rums and debate which will give the Individual a feeling of per-sonal participation. (3) A program to enlist the In-terest and participation of 200 na-tional organizations and associa-tions, and an undetermined number of community working committees behind a common program for reg-istration and voting in 1952. The American Heritage Founda-tion will serve as a source of infor-mation and as a coordinating agency. Also, It will make available Here is another opportunity for the home town merchant to improve his community relations and render a valuable public service. His aid and suggestions are not soon forgotten by local ' club members. And the impor-tance of taking an active inter-est in the guidance and welfare of the youth of the community cannot be over - emphasized. Neither should the rewards to be gained under-estimate- d. This interest, however, should not be limited to but should include Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Future Farmers, Boy Scouts, etc. Other Promotions Listed for March There are a number of other out-standing promotions for the month of March which the home towns of the nation should look for. The an-nual American Red Cross Fund Drive will be conducted during the month; March 2-- 8 has been desig-nated as National Save Your Vision Week; Classified Brand Names Week is scheduled for March 11-1- and St. Patrick's Day is scheduled for March 17. These and other special promo-tions will be discussed in future col-umns. lMiiii' j mwneeti itaidJ ' atk i.iUM..w.al.t Im4L A FATHERS . . . Joseph Graber and Leonard Ponder are pops of quads.

Veterans who served less than two years on active duty with the armed forces between December 7. 1941, and September 2, 1945, will also be ordered to active duty upon being commissioned. The Army stated that it was making its plans known early in order that the students concerned may plan ac-cordingly. Q.

Photographed for first time is the Gloster GA 5, powered by two Armstrong Siddeley jets. It Is a radar-equipp-day and night long-rang- e Delta fighter, claimed by the RAF to be the only plane of its kind. It ii better qualified than any other fighter to destroy atom bombers. Its speed, range, armament and radar gear are secret. Its nnusual shape answers a design problem for aircraft traveling at sonic speeds. Army Develops New Armored Jacket A new type of armored Jacket developed by the Army Quarter-master Corps, and shown by ballis-tic tests to be superior to previous-ly existing lightweight body armor, will be tested by combat troops. e After the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, the Army experienced an immediate need for trained person-nel to meet its requirements. Such individuals were not readily avail-able in sufficient numbers at that time. The Army recently established a "reinforcement" category within the Organized Reserve Corps. Per-sons returning to civilian life from active military service and who have a further reserve obligation under the Universal Military Training and Service Act, will be included in this category. They will be afforded the opportunity and means to partici-pate in reserve duty training, and to earn drill pay, providing funds are available. |
