Youngsters Take
Interest in Election
A movement has started among
the youth of Valdez to work for the
proposed new school building. On
election day the youngsters will
turn out en masse to ask voters to
not forget their needs, and to help
them secure the additional comfort
and convenience your votes bring
them. It has not been so very long
since the young men and women of
the town showed some of our politi
cians what could be done by con
certed effort. They are now anx
ious to see how their strength mat
ches the antagonists to the school
plan. It is a young man’s fight. The
youngsters are the ones who will
assume the burden. If they are suf
ficiently aggessive we may see
some changes in the lineup at the
coming special election—The Valdez
