Opportunity at Polls With 'Share in American Democracy Woman's View By GA YPAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—To those who say, "Oh, my vote doesn't count," Dorothy Height answers, "Ah, but it does. The last presidential election (a close one) showed that." "If we give up our opportunity at the polls," she said, "then we're giving up our share in democracy. I just wish we could convince the apathetic citizen that his life, all our lives are affected by the leaders we elect and in turn the leadership they appoint." Miss Height is volunteer president of the National Council of Negro Women, Washington. C. C., an organization of 2.5 million Negroes and whites which this year is promoting nationally a voter registration drive. "The more voters registered, the more nearly we will get voting which is responsible," she said in an interview. "Our aim is to come as nearly to 100 per cent in registration of those eligible as we can. "Did you know that we have a voter turnout in this country less than in any other democracy in the world? In the last presidential election only 62 per cent of the eligible voters showed at the polls," she added. As part of the NCNW voter registration drive, the organization has gone to work in New York with one radio station, WMCA, which for more than a year has been dealing with greater New York problems on slum housing through its "Call for Action" setup. The station, headed by R. Peter Straus, president of the Straus Broadcasting Group, provided the office and telephones.

HERE'S WHAT PROPOSITION 17, THE "SKELETON-CREW" SCHEME, WOULD DO: HERE'S WHAT PROPOSITION 17, THE "SKELETON-CREW" SCHEME, WOULD DO: WIPE OUT public supervision of railroad safety In California □ DEPRIVE the Public Utilities Commission and the Legislature of their rights to protect public safety □ KILL California's Minimum Safe Crew Law □ LEGALIZE "skeleton crews" □ SURRENDER to the railroads control over train safety practices □ FREEZE into the State Constitution the sole right of the railroads to decide safe crew requirements □ PERMIT the railroads to put their profits before your safety □ INCREASE sharply the chance of disastrous train wrecks in California. FOR THE RECORD: PRESIDENTS EISENHOWER, KENNEDY AND JOHNSON HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED RAILROAD SAFETY LAWS—the California Minimum Crew Law is just such a safety measure! On election day, Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, the railroad companies are asking you, the people of California, to vote away your rights as citizens...to hand over to the railroads full power to decide the number of train crewmen necessary for public safety. This vital control over railroad safety laws is now held by your elected State Legislature and by the Public Utilities Commission. Proposition 17, the "skeleton-crew scheme" sponsored by the powerful California Railroad Association, would repeal California's Minimum Crew Law—a safety law which has prevented untold loss in lives and property...and given California one of the best railroad safety records in the nation. At the same time, Prop. 17 would eliminate public supervision of railroad safety in California. It would leave the railroads completely free to cut the size of train crews as they see fit...below the present safe minimums now prescribed by law. In short, it would leave the question of public safety vs. private profit solely in the hands of the railroads. VOTE NO ON 17 DON'T LET THE RAILROADS GAMBLE WITH YOUR SAFETY!

Holmdahl • William Nelligan Polls Woman's Democracy' students, matrons, businessmen—took calls of those with housing complaints and advised which agency should be consulted. They also followed up to see what action was taken. Now, "Call for Action" has embraced the voter registration drive in addition to its continuing one on housing. And approximately 125 women and men are volunteers marming telephones each evening to answer questions on registration and voter eligibility for those unsure of their status. NCNW researchers equipped volunteers with information booklets so that with a flip of a page questions on change of residence, where to register, who the candidates are, and such could be answered speedily. The registration drive is non-partisan and no recommendations on candidates or party are made. And, it's impersonal. The caller has only a telephone, not even a name, contact. "That way I think they feel freer to ask questions," said Mrs. Louis G. Cowan, who is chairman of the "Call for Action" and now is a volunteer also in the voter drive. She told of one caller who asked in detail about registration and voting—"I plead complete ignorance," he said. "I wouldn't admit it to anyone else, but I'm 37 and I've never voted." "We feel this program could serve as a pilot project for any communication medium, any community," said Polly Cowan. Mrs. Cowan is a former radio and television producer and wife of the head of the Morse Communications Center at Brandeis University and president and owner of Chilmark Press. She and Miss Height suggested that any newspaper, radio or television station wishing to start such a public service program write or call for methods of setting up such a program—and the pitfalls to avoid. The biggest pitfall is not making sure that you're dead right on all information." Family Is Delphian Subject The first seminar of the Delta Kappa Sigma chapter of Delphian Society was held recently in the Spurgeon Room of the Santa Ana Library. Mrs. Robert Holland led the seminar in a discussion entitled "The American Family: Past and Present." During the 2-hour meeting such questions as: "In your opinion, are the critics of our American family justified?" "Do you think the values under which the average American family operates are basically much different from those of past generations?" "Do you think that, under the Mexican family system, the woman plays a more satisfying role than she does in the modern American family situation? Why or why not?" "In your opinion, where should the emphasis be placed insofar as authority and responsibility in family life are concerned?" "How well does present-day American family life prepare children for the kind of world in which they are expected to live?" Attending as guest was Miss Dorothy Von Kahrs, Field Director and organizer of many Orange County chapters. The Delphian Society was formed over a half-century ago to help fill the needs of thinking women. News of the week Sharon Lennea Jard Martin Salgado nounced today her grandmother, M.

Calls on voter eligibility had crossed a broad range of questions. One young woman announced she was getting married, but not before the election. She also was planning to move in with her fiance before marriage. Would she lose her vote by the change of residence? "We told her, 'No, just go home to mother on Election Day,' said Mrs. Cowan.

The Delphian Society was formed over a half-century ago to help fill the needs of thinking women. Since our country began, American women have stood side by side with men helping to build and protect our republic. The typical American woman feels the need to satisfy her responsibility for keeping mentally alert, developing family solidarity, and keeping up with the present fast pace the space age is producing which poses never - before - encountered threats to our nation. The accomplishment of the threefold objective cited above is Delphian's goal. YOU'RE GETTING JUST WHAT YOU DESERVE... a beautiful new First Federal Savings of OPENING ABOUT APRIL 1, 1965 1717 E.
