"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

Beacon Now
'True Light'
Salem's airport manager.
Charles Barclay, was informed
Wednesday by R. D. Bedinger
of the Seattle regional office of
CAA that Salem's flashing bea
con had been given temporary
authorization as a "true light."
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. As such
it will have to operate from sun
down to sunrise and to make
this possible control of the light
has been shifted from a time
clock to the CAA control tower.
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. The flashing light
previously used at the airport
has been discontinued and a
flashing circuit installed on the
wind T. In below minimum wea
ther the lights on the wind T
will be switched over from a
steady light to flashing light.
This will indicate to pilots that
weather is below minimum and
the field is closed.
