eueozVOTE COUNTS!

Just suppose there should come from Washington anadministration edict seizing the franchise of all citi-zens with blue eves—depriving them of their right tovote. What a warranted storm of protest would roarover the country!

But we might ask ourselves what were the blue-eyed and voteless citizens protesting about, anyway?Most of them didn't bother to vote when they hadthe right; obviously they weren't being deprived ofsomething they set much value upon.

The same could be said of most brown-eyed, black,green, gray or hazel-eyed citizens. The record showsthat they don't vote when that right is theirs, so whynot take it away from them?

Our "just suppose" may seem beyond believing(though one can't be too sure, these days!). It should,however, emphatically underline the alarming factthat almost half of us are becoming voteless by choice

-by simply neglecting to go to the polls.Only 51 per cent of eligible Americans voted in the

Presidential election of 1948!Here's how YOU can register to vote in the next elec-

tion: Go to the Registration Commission in City HallAnnex, Saturday, between 9 and 12, or any otherweek-day, between 9 and 4, and apply for a certificateof registration. Or you may secure this certificatewhen the Field Register is in your ward betweenAugust 6 and September 13.

Once you have your certificate of registration, youare permanently registered to vote so long as youlive at your present address and vote at least oncein every two years. If you move to another locationwithin your present division, promptly notify theRegistration Commission on one of its removal noticecards. If you move outside of your division, you mustre-register. Or if you change your name throughmarriage, you must re-register.

Register now. Be prepared to cast your vote in thenext election!

TECHREP MAN'S HOBBY IS MODEL TRAINS—Model trains are a hobby ofAllan .1. Holbrook, a TechRep Division field engineer, currently stationed at the Yokohama Signal Depot,Japan, with the Signal Corps.

"The two box cars aren't painted and only one and a half of theengines are painted so far," he writes. "I have a passenger train which I'm not going to assemble until I'm backhome. It's an aluminum job, similar to the ones on the Santa Fe."

(;ss,, Sam Brand

says:With election time coming up, I'm thinking we'rejust about the "voting'st" people in the world. Iguess we should be, for who gets more chances tosound off about people and things than we do?

Every day, millions of us get the chance to votefor or against a raft of manufacturers by choosingtheir brands or giving them the go-by. And don'tforget, our brand is on that "ballot," too, in competi-tion with lots of other makers' brands.

No wonder manufacturers like us work so hard toturn out top-notch products. It's the smart thing todo to keep the "vote" running in your f avor. And theonly thing to do to stay in business.

WPTZ TELEVISES ALL-STAR GAMEAs the PHILCO NEWS went to press, it was announcedthat Philco's television station, WPTZ, was to be thefirst station to televise baseball's All-Star Game fromcoast to coast on July 8. WPTZ was selected to orig-inate the annual classic in Philadelphia earlier inJuly.

WPTZ used five cameras in covering the game.Two cameras were equipped with zoomar lenses sothat viewers could follow and "move in" on closeplays, regardless of distance. The third camera hadthe reflectar (cq) lens, which is exceptionally goodfor close-up of the players. The other two camerashad standard lens complements. These were used onballs and strike coverage, normal play and commer-cials.

According to an old German proverb, a fish shouldswim three times—in water, in sauce and in wine.

POLITENESSGood manners is the art of making those people easywith whom we converse. Whoever makes the fewestpersons uneasy is the best bred in the company.—Swift.

THERE USED TO BE an expression that "everyone played WillieHoppe, while Willie Hoppe played billiards." Here the old masterdemonstrates his skill on the new medium of television while appear-ing on the WPTZ Open House program. He stages a match withJapanese star Matsazuma (right) as pocket billiard champ Willie Mos-coni and Program Director Harry K. Smith watch proceedings.

McCORMICK TRAINS BOXERSWilliam T. McCormick, stationed in Guam for thepast fifteen months, writes that he enjoys reading thePHILCO NEWS and thus keeping in touch with his oldfriends in Dept. 43-506. McCormick, in addition tohis other activities, has been coaching winning teamsat Guam in the all-Navy boxing finals. The Philcoman is former Guam all-Navy welterweight. Hestarted his amateur ring career by competing at At-lantic City in the 1944 Golden Gloves Tournamentas a featherweight. He went all the way into thefinals and came out second best. McCormick joinedthe Navy in '45. In 1946 he did some boxing atKodiak, Alaska, and in the Aleutian Islands whileattached to the ATR-32. Sent to Guam in 1951, thepopular trainer proved himself a strong contenderin the Guam all-Navy finals.

THE DRAFTING AND STOCKROOM teams stage a lively baseballgame, with Drafting winning, 4 to 3. In the first picture, Bob Mac-Gregor (Drafting) is out on a close play at first.
