Political Pot Close to Boiling Point as Election Day Nears A. Plans Reorganizaton Meeting Nov. 8th P.-- T. Announcement was made this week of the proposed reorganization of a Parent-TeachAssociation in Beaver. A special meeting of all parents of children in both the Belknap and the High School will be held on Friday, No vember Stb in the high school er auditorium. A special program is being arranged and outside speak ers will be in attendance to dis cuss pertinent subjects with par ents and teachers. Concern has been felt by many patrons of the schools for the lack of a organization in Beaver for the past few years. It is hoped that the absence of an organization will bring whole hearted support for this effort at revival. A study of the objects of the Na tional Congress of Parents and Teachers will show the benefits which may accrue from such an organization in any community. Its Objects are: To promote the welfare of chil dren and youth in home, school church, and community; to raise the standards of home life: to se- Parent-Teach- er (and protection of children and youth; to bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooper ate intelligently in the training of the child; and to develop between educators and the (general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.

Miller were also With only ten days remaining until election day, Tuesday November 5th, the political "monster' has reared its head in this county. Party workers are gathering their forces for a "home stretch" race, as both Democrats and Republicans express confidence in a victorious outcome. Uppermost in the minds of both parties' leaders is the laBt day for registration of voters. Unregistered voters are being urged by both parties to be sure and register on Tuesday, October 29, the last opportunity before election day. An unregistered voter cannot obtain a ballot! Beaver Democrats neglected to file a candidate for state representative against Joseph it. Milford businessman, but to repair this oversight are making a vigorous write-i- n campaign for Oral W. Evans, Milford railroad man and county chairman. Handbills, political advertising and a personal contact method are being employed to encourage write-I- n votes for Mr. Evans. The state senate contest In Millard and Beaver counties between Orricec. "Clif McShane (R) and Joseph A. "Dick" Manzione (D) has stirred up a power utilities Issue because Mr. McShane Is employed by the Telluride Power Co. The attack Is coming mostly from the Milford section, where some power service difficulties have been experienced recently. Both, the senate contestants are veterans of the last two world wars,, thus dividing the soldier vote. Mr. McShane, an experienced legislator, having served previously In the House, Is basing his campaign upon his past record. Interest in this contest is expected to run high In the next ten days, as both men are residents of Beaver and have many friends who will come to their support in this campaign. Other office seekers are assuming a secondary place as the spotlight is focused on these two positions. Senator Abe Murdock is expected to carry his home county, but many Democrats are expressing some doubt as to the race between David J. Wilson (R) and Rep. Walter K. Granger. So much attention is being directed toward these two contests that other issues are being neglected particulary is this true of the Constitutional Amendments, eight in number, which are to be voted on by the general public, according to law.
