In two and a half weeks the registration books for voters at the May 19th primaries will be closed. Any one failing to register in due time will not be allowed to cast his ballot to help determine the nominees for his party in the Fall elections. In the coming primaries there will be two hot con tests for the United States senatorship, in both the Democratic and Republican parties, one for four year term and one for the six year term. Every citizen should be interested in who is to represent us in the United States senate during the coming crucial years. In addition to representatives in congress, several state officials and numerous district and county offi cers are to be chosen. This year preferential choice will be made for president as instruction to delegates to each national convention this summer. The voters will have a chance to say who they want for presidential nomi nee in the Fall election. Do you Democrats want Roosevelt for a fourth term, and who do you prefer for vice president, which is also important? Do you Republicans want Willkie, or Dewey, or Bricker, or MacArthur, and have you a choice for vice presi dent? These preferences, can be shown in the pri mary vote in May. If you fail to register by April 18th, you can only watch the show go by and blame yourself for not having a part to take when the inter est grows strong in a campaign that ends May 19th.

The late Senator was watch-dog for the Umatilla Rapids dam for over 20 years, and no man is more entitled to the name for the work done to bring it to the stage it is now in. At this important time his name should have weight in the Senate where the bill now rests for final passage. McNary has been responsible for many public works in Ore gon, but none of them carry his name. It would be an honor justly due for the quarter of a century ser vice he gave the state, and the eminence to which he has risen. : : THURSDAY. MARCH 30, 1944. THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON.

" GERARD SWOPE, President invest in Your Country's Future — BUY WAR BONDS ‘I HIS CITATION is richly merited—for here is a - branch of industry that has done a remarkable war job that has not been generally recognized. If electric power should fail, or if it be too little or too late, the disastrous effects would startle all America. Vital machines would be motionless. Millions of homes would be cold and an eerie blackout would descend over the land. But, electricity has not failed. Rather, in 1943 twice as much power was produced as in the year before the war—with the minimum of new facilities— and despite large losses of skilled employees to the Armed Services. In the words of J. A. Krug, Director, Office of War Utilities of W.P.B., Power men—public and private— should be proud of the job that has been done in provid ing power supply. Power has never been too little or too late.” —ammanai) We of General Electric, who have built a large part of the electric equipment which generates, distributes, and uses the electric power of America, take pride in the way this equipment is standing up under the strain of “forced draft” wartime operation. Many of the men and women responsible for this remarkable record are your neighbors—the manager or meter reader who lives across the street, the girl in the accounting department who is in your bridge club, the lineman with whom you bowled last night. A word of appreciation from you to them will lend added sig nificance to this well deserved citation. Gtneral Electric Company, Schenectady, New York. GENERAL $9 ELECTRIC
