Comm. Reuben Robert Kallman,• Comm. Elmer Kline, Lt.

aires are already on record. But there are., thousands more
yet to be compiled.
Relatives and friends of servicemen are urged to secure
their questionaires from the Detroit Army and Navy Com-
mittee of the JeWish Welfare Board, at the Jewish Community

pleted form as soon as possible.

All elections are important.
if is our 'duty to
exercise our franchise as free citizens to cast our
votes in every election.
Many of us unfortunately
fake the attitude that a single vote won't make any
'difference and say, "Let the other fellow do it."
In this forthcoming election let it not be said
that we do not appreciate our privilege to vote as
free citizens in this great democracy of ours. Let it
not be said that we shirk our duty in going to the
polls to elect men to public office that are worthy
of that trust.
Remember, the eyes of America are upon us.
Will we vote or will we shirk?
