electing a president coftttnuw fcwn um wmic the rules covering the republican and democratic national conventions differ con siderably but both now require a simple maiortty of the delegates votes to select a presidential candidate this candidate now assumes mf leadership of his party for at least the duration of the election campaign eoncentnted in september and october and serves as its national standard bearer the american voter has an unusually heavy responsibility on election day not only does he choose the electors for presi dent and vice president but he also votes for his representative to congress often for a senator ind usually for a number of state officials the ballot which he uses to record these choices may include over 100 names and may be over 500 square inches in size or about one and a quarter times the sire of this page the voting machine which was introduced in new york state in 1892 is now used in a number of states and ftcili lates the recording and counting of votes unlike canadian ballots american ballots usually carry political party designations in the form of a symbol or party name like mosf ofher regulations governing elections m the united states the type of ballot used is determined by each state in summary the maor events which lend t the choice of a chief executive begin itfr the presidential primary elections held m certain states during the months of march through june during july of a presidential election year the major political parties hold their national nominating conventions to choose their candidates for president and vice

close to financial rum by fire fire is the farmer s greatest hazard a farm fire can destroy home business investment and the work of years in s matter of hours the following safety measures are re commended to prevent farm fires 1 allow hay and similar produce to dry thoroughly before it is stored in barns wet hay can start fires through spontaneous com bustion 2 lightning arrestor systems should be of a good make and properly installed they should be inspected at least once a yeir 3 radio and television antennie shouh be adequately grounded 4 electrical wiring should be checked re gularly by experts especially when new ma chinery or motors are installed fire on the farm 5 wire fences attiched to buildings should be grounded at the nearest fencepost to the building this is another protection against lightning 6 electric wires for lights should be in stalled in approved fashion extension cords strung over rafters or nails are dangerots 7 gasoline kerosene and otner mfhm mables should be stored in well marked safety cans 8 steves or other heating equipment should be cleined ind inspected a least once a year 9 if poss ble a well or pond should be locited near bu idmgs to aid in fighting fires 10 each bu id ng should le equ pped with approved fire extinguishers soaring municipal taxes soaring municipal taxes have aroused canadians in most parts of the country to the necessity of seeking ways and means of cutting costs at local level from mayor w r allen of yarmouth n s comes the sensible suggestion that consideration be given to the standardization of building plans for schools in his province what with the boom in pre fabricated housing and stand ardtied house building in recent years it seems like downright common sense to cut out some of the costly frills of school con struction as suggested by mayor allen and to concentrate instead on better schooling strange thing is that mayor allen in stead of being praisedfor his costcutting suggestion should have been taken sternly to task by the chronicle herald of halifax for what it calls the shocking aesthetic re suits of such a programme the halifax newspaper also condemns the yarmouth mayor for suggest ng that money could be saved by selecting a site to suit the school raher than desmg ng a bu idmg to suit the location incident illustrates the fact that even large metropolitan newspapers sometimes forget that schools and other public build ings all have to be paid for by the taxpayers including countless thousands of small home owners of modest means not so weak we have long harboured
