A main reason for this loss of faith is that there are not encugh good men and women running for office. Last November there was only one person running for many local offices. How can people be interested in their govern- ment if they den’t have a choice at election time? The only way te revive interest in government is to have more goed men and women running for office— people yeu would really like to vote for. You or someene you really admire can get your name or his/her name on the ballot for the April 27 election by cellecting signatures of reg- istered party members now. You only need 100 signa- tures to be a candidate for state representative or state committee member. For state senator you will need 200 signatures. You have until February 17 te cellect those signa- tures. Get your petition now from the Lancaster County Registration office. There’s only one way to restore faith in the Ameri- can government in this Bicentennial year—that’s to get more goed people running fer office, people mere pecple will want to vote for. invite the public te make suggestiens. The Infermaticn Meeting- the first such meeting to be held here—is in line with statements made last Sep- tember by various board ” members te the Susquehan- na Times: that taxpayers should be fully informed and have socme say in how their meney is spent. President of the beard, Dr. William B. Landis, has said about the Feb. 12 meeting: ‘I'm sure that anycne whe comes to this meeting will go away with a much better understanding of how scheels are budgeted and what the preblems > are.
