YMCA Fund Drive On
General solicitation campaign¬ ers for the Lake Region YMCA 1965 fund drive, meeting at a Kickoff Dinner, heard Jessee S. Mudgett call for vigorous inter¬ agency cooperation to provide for a constructive environment for ail youth.
Mr. William Baker, special gifts chairman, announced that Oak Electi'o/Netics had contributed $1500 and that multiple contribu¬ tions of $500 had pushed his di¬ vision up to 55 percent of its goal. "The response from industry has been most enthusiastic" reported Mr. Baker.
Mr. Mudgett was the key-note speaker for the Kickoff Dinner which was attended by more than 70 fund campaigners as well as members of the board of directors.
School, churches, and service clubs are to be commended for their planned activities and com¬ munity services, "but are they really doing enough to meet the need of the communities?" queried Mr. Mudgett. "^^i always easy to look back butlj^.hink that what was needed, and^still is needed, is to. pnivide orwaaaeaiaanai^^gapperts for a central orauiisation, to draw people in to c^^ an atmosphere where more pSv^e will get In¬ volved, new people with new Ideas and  fresh   enthusiasm."
The formation of the Lake Re gion YMCA just over one year ago was a step toward such a central organization, and results show progress in providing coordinated activities. Mr. Mudgett emphasized that the second year is often a crucial one, and therefore the ut¬ most in cooperation and tolerence are needed." There is no end to the good a man can do, if he does¬ n't care who gets the credit for it."
He challenged the organization CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE

Heart Drive Still Open
I wish to thank everyone who so generously contributed to the Heart Fund and my volunteers who went door to door. I am hap¬ py to say the toWn of Huntley has brought in $307.10 to date.
Grafton has donated $37.00 which was generous considering I didn't hear from everyone I had sent letters to which brings a tot¬ al of $344.10 from Huntley and Grafton and it is better than last year I am happy to say. It is not to late to get your contribut¬ ions in, as I do not close my books until June 31st. If you have mis¬ placed your envelope put 'your contribution in a plain envelope and mark it Huntley Heart Fund and drop it at the Bank.
Remember Heart disease can strike you or some one close to you, it is still the number 1 kOIer.
Thank you again.

Why Should Americans Vote?
by Stanley Korwin llth grade
Voting in the United States is not only one of our most honored privileges. It is also our most important duty to ourselves and our nation.
Our forefathers fought for the right to choose their own repre¬ sentatives. One of the basic causes of the Revolutionary War was "taxation without representation". They wanted a "say" in their gov¬ ernment and were willing to gfve up everything for it.
Yet less then sivty percent of all eligible voters go to the polls on an average election day. Why do people abuse their right to vote? Most voters taiye this priv¬ ilege for granted. They do not realize how important their suff¬ rage is. Housewives use the excuse that they can't get out of the house. Working men drive to the polls, but if there seems to be a long waiting line they may not bother to stop. If aperson knows little about the candidate or can not decide he man not vote to avoid making a decision.
Both major political parties have periodical campaigns to bring out the vote, but they seem to have little effect on the, people. Even offers to drive voters to the polls bring out only limited numbers of
the electorate. The question of how to get people to vote is still being debated, and there does not seem to be a solution in sight.
The question of "why should Americans vote?", is much simp¬ ler to answer however. As has often been stated, it is one's pat- rotic duty. However, many people do not know why.
By exercising the right to choose goviemmjent offlcials and representatives, a voter is check¬ ing the spread of evil forms of government, such as dictatorship, communism, and facism. In none of these forms does a citizen have the right to elect offlcers. True, in the Soviet Union elections are held, but only the Communist Party is allowed on the ballot.
It is acitizen's civic duty to be well informed on candidates and issues, 80 as to vote intelligently. He should hear opinions on both sides of an issue before deciding. The alert voter should not be swayed by propaganda prejudiced toward one side.
A citizen should vote because he is truly interested in the elect¬ ion and not because he is forced to vote. He should go to the polls to insure the United States of peaceful continuance or chanj^ over of the government, instead of rebellion and revolntipn, all too CONTINUBD ON PAGB THRBB
