Help for voters
Some badly-needed life has been injected into the races
for mayor and city commissioner by the Shelton Jaycees
on the eve of Shelton's primary election.
A committee from the youthful service club compiled
a list of thirty-eight questions concerning city government,
corraled all nine candidates one at a time and put the
questions to them, then condensed the answers in written
form.
The result is printed in full on pages 13 and 14 of this
week's Journal. We believe it is well worth the large
amount of space needed to publish it for our readers and
are equally convinced that the time necessary to read it in
its entirety would be time well spent by voters.
Although the candidates are in agreement on some
of the issues, there are many where opponents hold diver-
gent views, thus giving the voter a clear-cut choice of the
man whose ideas parallel his own.
The candidates do not expound at length on any of the
subjects, but a study of all the answers of any one candi-
date reveals much about his views on taxation, finance,
public works, police and fire protection and other gov-
ernmental matters.
We hope Shelton voters will read and assess these an-
swers before marking their ballots next Tuesday.
A reasonable request
Voters in the Shelton school district should not need a
fancy selling job explaining the necessity of the excess
millage requested at Tuesday's special election.
There is a good reason why there has been no organ-
ized opposition to the measure; the money raised will be
used for two projects necessary at this time in operation
of Shelton schools.
The plan calls for no frills or fancy features. Part of
the money will be used to replace classrooms in the over-
crowded and antiquated portion of Bordeaux school, the
remainder to purchase a site for a proposed new secondary
school and athletic facilities.
Another desirable feature of these two projects is that
they are the first steps in a three-year plan which will im-
prove the entire school housing situation.

(These were all the statistics
given us about where they ex-
ceed the U.S. in training stu-
dents)
The Soviet Union is now 100
per cent literate--BUT prior to
the 1917 Revolution they were
75 per cent illiterate. In all the
higher educational institutions
there are 5800 total foreign stu-
dents. If a famqy makes less
than 200 roubles per month, the
state provides a scholarship for
the student. Even if the fail their
exams they are still entitled Io
their scholarships.
A family that makes more than
20() roubles per month has to help
pay for the schooling. The full
lime sludenl:s are NOT SUB-
Jt':CT Io military service. HOW-
EVEI:L the night school students
are su])iecl, to military service.
These students can return (o
where lhey left off before their
military obligations in the uni-
versities and institutes. The uni-
versity of Moscow has 60 per
cent girls and 40 per cent b,)ys.
There are 43 universities in the
goviet Union.
Another interesting fact is that
Hitler and the Germans came
Io within 25 kilometres (121
miles) of Moscow. They did
much damage to the outlying
areas of Moscow. After driving
over the same basic route that
Hitler's troops used I can see
why lhey had trouble. The sup-
ply lines must have been very
long. Much of Western Russia
is very flat, immense land.
The Russians have some slight-
ly different laws about handling
drunks and wife beaters. Each
commune or living area elects
for a period of three years some
people to act as judge and jury
over minor disputes.
It is considered a disgrace
AND embarassing to be tried
for drunkenness before your
peers. Usually, we were informed
the neighbors in your commune
know if you are drinking or beat-
ing your wife, so you usually
are guilty before you are tried
in this lesser court.
You have a right to appeal to
a higher court, if you don't like
the verdict of your peers. In
Russia you are innocent until
i)roven guilty in court. The death
penalty is given only for cold-
blooded murder.
