October 4 Final Date For Voter Registration One of the liveliest general elections in many years is fore cast for this November election and county residents are remind ed bv county clerk C. W. Barlow that the deadline for voter regis tration will be Saturday, October 4. With Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson offering voters a wide-open battle for the nation's top office, it is expected that this race alone will draw a record number of registered voters, but the chief concern at the present is to get as many prospective voters registered as possible. The clerk's office said Wed nesday that there have been over 50 new registrations since the May primaries bringing the total to well over 2300 registered. New signups are coming in at an in creased rate and one of the heaviest registrations in many years is expected. In order to register, a person must be a citizen of the United States and at least 21 years old by the time of election. He must be able to read and write the English language and have been a resident of Oregon for at least six months. Voters are cautioned that past registration may not be good if they have not voted in either a primary or general election in a single year, if they have moved or had their name changed. Re registration is necessary in these cases. The clerk's office stated that residents may register at any of the following places. Heppner County clerk's office, lone George Ely.
