CHAMPIONS 1>F THE BFTTER LIFE » 1 Durum the past quarter-century, adver tising on the airwaves has grown tremen- doush Radio and television now share with newspapers the promotion and sale of a wide variety of products and services. Yet until radio and TV become more effective gathers of news as well as dispensers of en tertainmcnt. they will hold the same con sumer interest the newspaper holds. The ma-s production and distribution tech-1 niques which have so greatly and so quickly advanced our economic growth would have; been almost impossible without the prepara- j tion of mass consuming markets by our newspapers. Your newspaper, large or small, de-1 serves your patronage and support. Sub scribe to it. read it. ponder what its editors call to your attention, advertise in it. Your newspaper is tsill your best and most de pendable source of news. More ... it is the .steadfast champion of the better life we all seek. Richard Millstone Nixon 10—Tin: l iiI10MC l.ll. ( linlmi.

Studies Methods Of Conducting Elections The Long Line Of Procrastinators The art Tie elsewhere in todav s ('hmnicle eoncerning voter registra tion indicates there’s going to be a long line of procrastinators jn April :;n. Procrastination means to put off from day to day, to postpone and to many people it’s almost a way of life. The procrastinators are tho>e you sue scurrying around doing their gift -hop ping on Christmas Kve. They’re al.-o the ones who form those long' lines on the day of the deadline for new auto mobile license tags. They're the ones who start filling out their income tax return foi*m on April T>. They're also the one- who say. “l!ov. next year. I’m not going to wait un til the deadline ..." A spokesman for the Laurens Coun ty Registration office says they don t have much to do these days. It’d be a fine time to get your voter regis tration renewed. Everybody must reg ister this year in order to be eligible to vote in upcoming elections and it is an election year, you know. Don’t be in the line of procastina- tors on April .‘50. Get it done now, while there’s no waiting line. The folks at the Registration office would ap preciate it. Clinton area voters will have anoth er opportunity to register convenient ly next week as a registration office is opened in downtown Clinton. A news article on the front page of today’s Chronicle gives the office hours and location of the office. B\ IT!! < HRONK I I s < apitoi Nt v/s Bureau (()!.: .'
