The official people counting agency of the federal government made a sample survey to determine who did and who did not vote in the presidential election last Nov. 3.

If the sample was accurate, it would mean a total vote of 76.6 million. However, official counts showed only 70 6 million votes cast, by about 62.3 per cent of the voting-age population. wealth, i Many sheriffs over the state The daily gifts from heaven are piannjng to hold their of- Of 'fiht, experience and fl" "ext nor-ove. mally a holiday.

Walters had earlier sued Bush and collected in a damage suit brought from the loss of one of the daughters.
