If You Want To Vote—Register Now!
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 suggestion in an amendment to the Rivers and
Harbors bill that the Umatilla Rapids Dam be
changed to McNary Dam gives the dam national im
portance. 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.

‘[‘HE Pl RPOSE ot the Charles A. Coffin
- Foundation is to encourage and reward
distinguished achievement in the electrical field
by “prizes to employees; by recognition to light
ing, power, and railway companies for improve
ment in service to the public; by fellowships to
deserving graduate students; and by the grant
ot funds tor research work at technical schools
and colleges."
Establishment of the awards was announced
twenty-two years ago in a statement issued by
President Swope and dated December 1, 1922:
"On May 10. tQj¿,Cha> ¡es .1. Cojfin in his jSth

uith the development of the electrical industry since

Electric Company, of which he has been the in
spiration .ind leader for thirty years.
" .Is an expression of appreciation of Mr. Coin's
great wort not onn for the General Electric Com
pany but oho far the entire electrical industry and
with rhe desire to make this appreciation enduring
and constructive as Mr. Co fin's life end work
haue been, the Hoard of Directors of the General
Electric Company, creased on his retirement and

‘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.
