The clerk said that Monday, March 13, is the last day for registration, and Tuesday, March 14, is the last day for transfer of registrations. Thorp said that a check on the voter's legal status for casting his ballot is unnecessary unless he has changed his address since he last reported his registration address to the county clerk's office. THE CLERK said that even the most minor changes of addresses must be recorded in his office, and pointed to a supreme court ruling that prevented a man from voting simply because he had moved across the hall in a rooming house, the court holding that the move was a change ot address. Thorp said that election laws are very strict with regard to proper listings of addresses of voters, and said that it is entirely possible that a challenged person at the polls might lose his vote in Jackson county if his address is not absolutely correct.

Thorp said that if a person changes his address in the 28-day period from March 14 to the April 11 election, he is not eligible to vote in the April 11 primary. The clerk said that there are two exceptions to this rule, those beir.g government employees who travel about without definite addresses, and women who are married in the 28-day period between registration deadlines and election dates. In the latter case, if a woman married and changes her address within the same precinct, she is eligible to vote under her former address If the change of address moves the woman from one precinct to another, she is not eligible POWELL -Ma STEYENS-tersr DRAKE SATURDAY ONLY Continuous From 2:15 Baibara Hale Eobby Diiscoll Artknr Kennedy Panl Stewart HARLOW'S Theatre Murphysboro, El. names and addresses placed at tnefathcr in death.

If the marriage involves a change of address for the husband, he is not eligible to vote, even if the change of address means moving across the street. Thorp reminded prospective voters who are not yet 21 years of age, but who will be of legal age on or before Aprir 11, 1950, that they must register before the March 13 deadline to be eligible to vote in the primary.

The clerk said that such registrations mean that a youth of 20, which is under the minimum age, may register to vote at a legal age that he has not yet attained. Thorp said that the law figures the voter's age at the date of the election, and since the voter will be 21 on that is eligible to register and then vote in the April 11 primary. The clerk said that voters with questions on registration or changes of address may secure additional information his office.
