Restore faith:
run for office
There is a lot of talk about
how Americans are losing
interest and faith in their
government.
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.
