Robert Boyer and supporters served bar-b-que beef sandwiches and soft drinks at the Voter Regis tration Picnic held on Sunday, April 25th at Peninsula Park. Boyer stated, ’ ’ Most Americans take the right to vote for granted. There are many giving lip service to the slogan, ’ Register to vote,’ but few are actually taking the time to explain the basic fundamentals of filling out a voter registration card. Many would be surprised at the myths which some take for truth re garding voting. One young woman stated she had never registered to vote because she thought it meant you had to vote in every election, large or small, from that point on and she wasn’t ready to make that kind o f commitment. Others thought they were registered even though they had moved since they had a card. They did not know they had to re-register when changing their names or changing places of residence.” Aaron Mitchell and Son Plumbing ★ Experienced P lu m b er ★ Licensed and Bonded Established in business for 25 years Have lived in the Portland Area for 40 years WE STAND BEHIND ALL JOBS 1703 N .E .
