"Facts and Fallacies About -fday. For the accommodation oi the late ones the county clerk s office will be open until 8 p.m on that day. For the convenience of the people registration places have been spotted in all parts of the county, 53 of them in all, in ad dition to the county clerk's of fice. The way County Clerk Har- land Judd makes his estimate of those who have neglected to reg ister is this: For the election of November, 1940, the registra tion was 40,440. Since then the population of the county is es timated to have increased about 60 per cent. The present regis tration for the 1950 primary ii very close to 43,526. Striking a calculation from those figures Judd believes the total to date is short by at least 22,000 what it should be. The county clerk makes an interesting observation bearing on party choice among the age groups. First registrants, those just turned 21 years old, seem to be prevailingly democratic. However, the republicans still hold the majority in the county oy irom auuu to 10,000. For the convenience of the public here is a list of the 53 or more persons and places in the county where voters may regis ter: Norrto Amei, Sllverton: Lawrenc A Anderson, route 4, box 139, Balem; Brltt Aspinwall, Brook; Ctrl Aaplnwall, Brooke; Mary A.

The temporary authorization was issued by the regional of fice pending approval of the 'true light" designation by the CAA headquarters in Washing ton, and will expire June 10, 1950, or when permanent auth orization is received. The beacon is similar to those operating along the airways as an aid to navigation and will now be officially listed.

Under this designation the airport is permitted to turn on the beacon when weather con ditions are below normal to aid airmen. - Another new lighting ar rangement has also been made by Barclay to conform with CAA regulations.
