Women Voter League Members Help ABC Five members of the Laurens County League of Women Voters played key roles in the election night reporting of the American Broadcasting Company. Mr. Ron Burnside, Mrs. Dave Needham, Mrs. Jack Pressau, Mrs. L. H. Savelkoul, and Mrs. James Skinner were stationed at “key precincts’ in Greenwood, Union, Laurens, and Newberry to phone in the voting results to ABC’s election headquarters in New York. They are five of a national group of 3,000 women volunteers, all members of the League of Women Voters, approved by ABC for this service and acting as registered pollwatchers to assist in the election process. These women, plus one Pres byterian College faculty member, Mr. Charles Coker, were briefed by ABC prior to election day to man 3,000 precincts chosen by ABC statisticians, after a com prehensive analysis of all voting districts in the United States, to be indicative of voting trends. As registered poll watchers they were entitled to observe voting machines and ballot boxes when Baritone Uppman Performs Tonight In Concert Series • • the polls closed, and as soon as voting results were available rushed to telephones specially in stalled by ABC. This phone put them into direct contact with ABC’s election headquarters where other League members took the information and placed it in special computer datacards. As this data, pouring in from the “key precincts,’ was fed into ABC computers the results which came out enabled ABC to an nounce with unusual speed the election of the president and other key contests throughout the nation. “You name it...we’U pro test it...” Whea the Community Concert Association presents the second of its 1968-69 attractions on Thursday evening (tonight), the music lovers of Laurens County will have an opportunity to hear one of America’s leading bari tones, Theodor Uppman. To be presented in concert at 8:15 o’clock at Belk Auditorium, Mr. Uppman is typical of the modern opera singer at his best in that he possesses charming good looks and an acting ability of high calibre, as well as an ex cellent singing voice. A member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, he has also ap peared in stellar roles with the New York City Opera, Chica go Lyric Opera, San Francisco Opera, Colorado’s Central City and Santa Fe Opera companies, as well as guest soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Bos ton Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philhar monic, Montreal, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, and Washington Nat ional Symphonies.

When it was introduced in America in 1952, he snag the lead with the NBC Television Opera Theatre. When not busy with operatic performances, he tours the coun try doing concerts, singing with major orchestras and appearing on TV and radio.
