The Ballot Box

The right to vote—the right
to vote—how often has that
phrase that commands to dis-
charge your duties as a citizen
rung against your ears and
your conscience?

This being November, the
same phrase will again jump at
you from campaign leaflets,
from paid newspaper advertise-
ments. It will blare at you
from the radio, challenging.

Just what's the fuss about
and why do we go through it
every time there's an election,
either state or national? Just
what is this right to vote and
why is it important to use that
right?

Every American will tell you
that his right to vote is his one
way of putting into office the
man he feels will serve his in-
terests and the interests of his
community best. Every man
and woman in America knows
that voting is the one way Mr.
Average Citizen can make him-
self felt and heard in the po-
litical life of his community,
state and nation. All of us
know that voting is the founda-
tion of representative, demo-
cratic government.

Every American knows that
without that right there is no
democracy and "government
from the top down" takes over.
Americans know, too, that this
right has been re-bought re-
cently at the cost of a genera-
tion. There is no home in
America in which the war
against fascism did not produce
earth-shaking shudders.

All of us know these things.
They are a part of our every
day life. But because they are
part of everyday living, let's
not forget that a power-crazed
house painter almost cost us
that right. To regain it, we
spent the lives of sons and
daughters too young to die—
too young to have lost their

[article continues on col. 2, bottom section]

right to vote.

When it's ballot time, we all
ought to remember that the
right to stuff a piece of paper
into a box comes from a long
line of suffering, was bought
by death and protected by
fragile young men—men too
young to die.

SLATER
DAY BY DAY

What We Like About Autumn,
1946 in Slater:

The cool clean freshness of
a brisk October morning that
makes the cheery greetings of
friends and neighbors even
more friendly and neighborly.

The bright brilliance of fall
flowers as they nod their heads
in flower gardens all over our
village.—

The lusty crowing of a roos-
ter as he flaps his wings to
wake his harem.—

Walks around our village
streets, and we note with plea-
sure some improvements being
made by home owners—a ce-
ment porch, a new walk way,
and a freshly filled in yard.—

The happy coloring of wo-
men's new fall clothes and the
lift they give to one's person-
ality.—

School boys forcing unwill-
ing feet toward the established
seat of learning, when they had
much rather hie themselves off
to the woods to hunt for musca-
dines and chinquapins.—

The rustle of dead leaves and
the soft swish of fallen pine
needles as the winds blow
among them.—

Sunday School classes and
Scout groups enjoying hikes
and weiner roasts.—

The quiet stillness of a sun-
shiny week-day morning when
housewives pause in their tasks
to exchange congenial banter
across the back fence.—

Listening to the tales of our
hunters as they recount their
squirrel-hunting experiences,
with just enough bob-cat howls
to make the stories real thill-
ers.—

The Halloween Carnival
sponsored by the senior class of
our school. ('Tis a much nicer
way to spend Halloween than
going about playing dirty
tricks on people and animals.)

Cloth Room Chatter

Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hester and
family attended a birthday din-
ner last Sunday given in honor
of Mrs. Hester's father, Mr. A.
S. Hammett, of Tigerville. All
of Mr. Hammett's children were
present, and they presented
him with a suit of clothes as a birth-
day gift.

Mr. and Mrs. Allison Smith
and family of Spartanburg, Mr.
Frank Guest, and Mrs. Elliott
Batson and family were the
dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Clyde Coleman recently.

Mrs. Annie Johnson wishes
to thank the Cloth Room em-
ployees for the lovely pearls
and handkerchief presented to
her on her birthday, October
19. They were greatly appre-
ciated.

Mr. Scarce is very proud of
his employees for the way they
cooperated in the recent Com-
munity Chest Drive. Every-
one in the Cloth Room made a
contribution and went above
the goal which had been assign-
ed them.

We are happy to have Mrs.
Sarah Cox and Mrs. Willie
Epps working with us again.
Both of these ladies have work-
ed with us before.

Cloth Room employees ex-
press their deepest sympathy to
Mr. J. A. Bates, whose wife,
Mrs. Callie Bates, passed away
recently. Mrs. Bates had many
friends here and she will be
greatly missed by them all.
