For Truman Better
Washington, May 20 (U.R)

that grass roots support for
President Truman's legislat i v e
program has increased during
the past two years.
In the current issue, of "Capi

newsletter Boyle cited the
crowds who greeted Mr. Truman
on his recent 6,000 mile coast to
coast tour as evidence of this in
creased support.
Boyle said the trip "drama
tized to the nation that the demo
cratic party is always ready .to
report to t h e people directly,
from our president on down, on
what our federal government has
done, and on what it proposes to
do in the future."

Douglas County Vote
Box Has No Ballots
Hoscburg, Ore., May 2u (U.R)
Imagine the surprise to Douglas
county election officials when
they opened the ballot box from
T y e e precinct yesterday and
found it empty.
Officials smd not a single bal
lot was cast in the little loguing
community 35 miles west ot nere
on the Umpqua river highway in
yesterday's Oregon primary elec
tion. The sparsely populated area
lies in a valley deep in tuc i.ua,i
ot tne coast range of mountains.
The bare ballot box was uur-
tially explained by County Clerk
O. T. Carter. According to Car
ter, lyce Is a new precinct creat
ed at the first of the year ulnnH
with 11 others in Douglas county.
Tyee residents formerly vmcu
in itellogg precinct, a polling
place 10 miles away. Carter was
unsuccessful in attempts to se
cure an election board and poll
ing places in Tyco so ho sent the
ballot box to Kellogg where
Tyee voters could cast their bal
lots. Only one thing was wrong
with the plan, the Tyee voters
failed to show up at Kellogg to
cast their votes.

It's a wonderful feeling to take the wheel of a mag
nificent new Pontiac convertible to feel the pride of
driving a car with character in every line and action.
Naturally, the convertible is the sweetheart of the
Silver Streaks, a car with a manner all its own. But
character is a basic Pontiac ingredient one that adds
greatly to the jny of owning and driving sny Pontiac
model you choose.
Ei try new Pontiac has character written all over It
and (tamped deep into its background. That's sn
important reason why dollar for dollar, you can't beat
Pontiac! Come in and see for yourself.
