Expect 500 Voters to
Register in Dare County…Unusual Interest Being Shown in Politics This Year as
Young People Register
Old timers in politics predict that upwards of 500 new
voters will go on the books this month, with only two more Saturdays in which
to register. At Manteo there were 33 registrations, and at Kitty Hawk, 22, with
corresponding increases in other precincts.
There are only this Saturday, the 8th, and next
Saturday, the 15th, left in which to register in order to vote in
the primary of June 29th.
Reports indicate there will be a large number of voters in
just about all of the 15 precincts of the county.
One noticeable sign of the election this year is the great
interest of veterans and other young voters who are showing activity in public
affairs, and who feel they should have their say in the selection of the people
who will run their government. People generally feel that veterans and young
people should have a voice in these matters, for they are the ones who have had
to bear the burdens that matter, the ones who have brought upon the nation and
the world.
