We think rig&t nbw, after hav-
ing put in all night Saturday try-
ing to complete election returns
tabulations, is a good time to
start howling for something wt ence rea"F ,ove ll-
believe would be well for the
Commissioners Court, or if not
that court, then the proper agen-
cy, to do That’s to split up some
of the voting boxes in the coun-
ty so election managers and their
assistants won t have to put .in
18 to 20 hours each time a Demo-
cratic primary is held 1
At the present titne there are
fifteen voting boxes in the coun-
ty, plus another that is known as
the absentee box. In last Satur-
day s primary approximately 5,-
406 ballots were marked.
—e
tabulation office’ was Southwest
Mt. Pleasant, which came in at
4:45 ajn. Sunday.
Ordinarily that box would re-
port early but with one man. B.
B Peterman, sufte/irig a mild
heart attack, and with another
election worker having to leave
late in the afternoon, circum-
stances had something to do wig)
the late report.
Still, is was almost that time
before Northwest Mt. Pleasant,
North Mt. Pleasant and Talco
boxes reported. ' ; ^ j
The point we are trying to
make is this:
Take Northwest Mt. Pleasant as
an example. Last Saturday near-
ly a thousand votes were polled
in that box alone. It needs to be
split in to two boxes. The same
holds true with the other boxes
in Mt Pleasant and the one in
Talco. All of them could stand to
be split up, which would make
it far easier on election workers
and returns could be tabulated
much faster.
First Baptist WMS ’’wJSSr split box voting. The
total vote cast Saturday in that
cdunty wasn't as much as Titus
Connty, but Red River has 29 vot-
ing places. As a result, returns
from that county were in a long
time before midnight. :

Another clipping said
“Its really funny to Viear every-
one who comes from Texas cheer
our two Texas soloists, Joe Kirk-
land and Sue Sandlin. OT course,
every time the Texans in the
audience cheer, those from other
states start to boo However. 1
have to admit that the Texans
can cheer louder than the others
can boo. We get quite a kick out
of hearing it”
Just think of the good adver-
tising Sue is bringing to Texas
and Mt. Pleasant. We just hope
she continues to have a wonder-
ful time on her wonderful tour.

Our game warden, Wardlow
Northam, hollered at us this
morning and wanted to show us
Wh boxes of live quail he had
picked up at Tyler for release
in this area. He had 80 of them in
all. ;/ ■ ■ ’ ' -p - <
The birds were tagged for re-
lease on the E G. and Leo Con-
nor farms in Morris County.
Northam told us the hatchery
at Tyler has birds available for
landowners who will agree to
provide the three essentials
necessary for them . . food, cover
and protection.
The quail were pen raised and
naturally are about* as tame as
chickens. Therefore, when they
are released back to natural
habitat they must be cared tor
until they revert back to their
wild state. Some will mate to-
gether and some will mate with
wild birds next year, bat regard- h?teiv’kb(tet all'toese water wells

Force To Keep Suez Canal Q
By ARTHUR GAV^ION
LONDON Jifl — An authortative
British source said today Britain
is ready to use force if necessary,
including the reoccupation of the
Suez Canal Zone, to keep the canal
open to world shipping.
The informant is an official of
Prime Minister Eden's govern-
ment, but he declined to be identi-
fied by name or position. '
Hn said Britain has not asked—
and does not intend asking—the
United States to join in any mili-
tary measure, which this country
may take as a result of Egypt's
nationalization of the canal
Britain has, however, called
upon the United States to give po-
litical support in the event mili-
tary' action is taken, he said.
France and some British Com j
monwealth countries were ~ de-
scribed as backing this attitude.
There was no official confirms- i
tion from either the British For- |
elgn Office or the U.S. Embassy.
The information was given out I
as U.S. Secretary of State Dulles 1
talked with Eden. British Foreign I
Secretary S el wyn Lloyd and I
French Foreign Minister Christian ?
Pineau at a hurriedly arranged
“work luncheon.’’
Dulles, who only Sunday said he
had no plans to come here, or-
r‘ived from Washington by plane
this morning. He is thought to have
been sent by President Eisen-
hower to urge moderation upon
the French and British.
The United States broadly sup-
ports Anglo French objections to
the canal nationalization and also
seeks ways of guaranteeing free
passage through the canal—which
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel
Nasser has pledged to do.
But thus far the United States
ha, balked at endorsing decisions
which it feels might lead to a
shooting war.
British Foreign Secretary Sel-
wyn Lloyd was reported to have
assured a closed meeting of Con-
servative members of Parliament
last night that Britain stands
ready to fight to keep the canal
open to all shipping if diplomatic
and economic measures are not
sufficient. British land, sea and
air forces were poised.
