We‘re the home folks, ever waiting to welcome the soldier home. Frequently a tiny light casts a mighty illumination. A tiny deed shows the spirit of a nation. A few words tell a deathless story.

An elderly man, quite evidently a deâ€" fense worker climbed on board at Great Lakes, and took the only empty seat in his coach.

This is the much desired Permanent Reâ€" gistration Act which represents an important legistlative safeguard of the privilege of voting. Voters, henceforth, must be registered in ‘order to vote at amy Primary, General, or Special election at which any State officer is to nominated or elected. First Of 458 MEN REGISTER TUESDAY The County Clerk of each county is the designated registration officer and has full charge and control of the registration of voters. In Lake County the County Clerk, Jay B. Morse, has charge of this work and is prepared to registerâ€"any qualified voâ€" ter at his office in Waukegan any week day, from 9 A.M. until 5 P.M. and Saturday until noon. The bill provides that two cards be filled out by the applicant and signed by him and the registration official. One set is kept on file at the County Clerk‘s office and the other is arâ€" ranged by precinets and sent to each precinct on Election Day. This proâ€" vides a permanent record of the qualiâ€" fied voters of the County. A qualiâ€" fied voter is any person 21 years of age at the time of the election, a native born or naturalized: citizen, who has lived in the State one year, in the County ninety days, and in the precinet thirty days. For the convenience of the voters the law provides that there shall be two registration days in each general election precinct. In this regard, Mr. Morse says, "I am convinced that it would be impossible for the seventy thousand voters of Lake County to be registered on the two days of regiâ€" stration as set up by the Act. Thereâ€" fore it is necessary to have clerks in eac mit of the Courty on Wm es during the summer for registration purposes. I ask the assistance of the League of Women Voters and all civicâ€"minded organizaâ€" tions in the County to aid and assist my office in encouraging all persons to register as seon as possible. If everyone who can, will register early, it will relieve the congestion on the days of registration and give my offâ€" ice more time to assemble the cards alphabetically in the visible record cabinets and to arrange the binders for each precinet for use at the polls on Election Day." The Iilinois League of Women Voâ€" ters has worked for many years for the passage of a permanent registraâ€" tion bill because it feels it is the most nearly foolproof method for securing an honest vote. Now that the law has gone into effect the League is willing and eager to cooperate to the fullest extent to see that every qualified voâ€" ter is registered. Highland Parkers Have Opportunity Arrangements have completed by the Highland Mbmman'l Club through its President, Mrs. Harry G. Pertz and the chairman of the Vicâ€" tory Committee, Mrs. Herbert Smith, to have the mobile blood donor unit of the American Red Cross visit Highâ€" land Park during the week of August 3 to 7. Believing this to be one. of the most worth while services that the club couldâ€"render to the commuâ€" nity, the committee began asking several months ago for such a unit to locate at the woman‘s club during its stay in this suburb. ‘Through the cooperation of ‘ local Red Cross chairman, F.
