Show • Midvale merchants were busy Wednesday morning cleaning the soap and wax from their windows as the aftermath of Halloween. It was presumed that with the extensive entertainment provided for the kids of all ages by the city and civic groups, this sort of thing would be eliminated. No doubt, much vandalism was avoided. but there are always a few kids who do not appreciate anything that is 8 .,. done for them.

Never have we seen such a hard-fought and bitter fight in Utah in an election race. The public is now awaiting the resnlts of next Tuesday's election when it will be decided whether we keep the present officials in office, or whether we shall have some new ones. It is very difficult. to detennine what the average voter really thinks. • It is hoped that a record vote will he cast next Tuesday. It is alarming to know that a large majority of our citizens do not vote in any election. One woman said recently, r•rm so disgusted with the situation, that rm not going to vote at all." li everyone adopted this attitude, a small group of politicians could easily control the country. Every eligible voter should go to the polls and cast his ballot for the men and women he thinks are the best qualified to do the most for the country, state, county and community. Priceless American blood has been spilt in the past 175 years to obtain and perpetuate this privilege, which many citizens do not appreciate. • The traditional Armistice dance of the American Legion will be held locally on Saturday, Nov. 11, at Sandy recreation hall, it was announced recently by Carl Larson, publicity chairman.
