Don't let yourself support an issue on Nov. 6 simply becauscv you failed to register to vote. This is no excuse! You have only until Oct, 16, a few short days, to register. Take that few minutes now and be ready to cast your vote on election day. There are some VERY IMPORTANT issues on our ballot in Madison County this year.

We will be hearing more about these Missing dog, Wesley. Domestic dispute, Forum area. The following people were booked into iail during that period: Anton Thonges, warrant. Released on $350 bond. David Harp, court order for weekends.

Many people probably watched the presidential debate and came away with different viewpoints.

If one viewed the debate with an open mind, it was evident that Mondale came away with a decided edge. We must also the candidate. jememberhaLJerxdebateoJate representing the party out of power. the next tew uon decide too late that you should vote. Vote and know that you've done your part to preserve our national heritage.

Grateful to be an American, Anna Hunt Mondale stated his Mews more clearly and laid down his plans for the economy. Reagan seemed unclear and unprepared on some issues. Everyone seems hesitant to mention age in the campaign. If President Reagan were re-elected he would be 74 years old at that time. Let's face it (and I hope we all get to) 74 years old, even with good health, could present some problems.

I think there was evidence of this during the debate, when Reagan lost his train of thought and could not seem to remember what the question was to begin with. The next debate will involve views on foreign policy which will present the toughest questions yet. I think I agree with Walter Cronkite who said he thought a head-on debate would have been a better format instead of the moderator panelist type debate. Although I agree with many of Reagan's conservative stands, his stands on environmental issues and nuclear arms bother me a great deal. Mondale's plan to raise taxes, I don't like.

But, it's probably better to be told now before the election what to expect than to be informed immediately following the election that we be paying more taxes. No matter which party wins in November, we will have a tax increase.

OFFICIAL 1 -WEATHER REPORT BY VERCIE REYNOLDS County Calendar In four short weeks, we have the opportunity to make history. 1 We will decide which direction our county, state and country will take for the next four years in some cases, or even permanently in others.

I'm grateful for that opportunity and- have always tried to remember that with this opportunity comes responsibility. We live in a free country! True, there are lots of things that aren't right in America, but we are so much better off than the people in most that I think we often overlook just how much we have been blessed here in the u.s.a. On Nov. 6, we will have another opportunity to show our -appreciation for the great country our forefathers fought and died to establish. We can VOTE! It shouldn't be thought of as an -option we" can either take 'or leave, but father as our duty as a citizen of the United States of America.

I'm sure we've all heard it said that "If you choose not to vote, 3 "Abortion is killing. And it's wrong." Robert Shafer, the Little Rock lawyer who heads the committee for "the Unborn Child Amendment," talks about abortion in simple terms. He wants the people of Arkansas to agree and make the same statement as a matter of public policy when they consider proposed Amendment 65. 1 But the question on the Nov.6 general election ballot is not so simple as Shafer suggests. There are wide-ranging views in Arkansas on abortion in general and Amendment 65 in particular.

The amendment Shafer is advancing is simply and carefully worded: "Section 1. It is the public policy of the State of Arkansas to promote the health, safety and welfare of every unborn child from conception until birth. The General Assembly shall enforce this policy by "sbfch laws as may be permitted by, the Constitution of theUmted "Section 2. No public funds of this state shall be used directly or indirectly to pay for all or any part of the expenses of performing or inducing an abortion, unless such abortion is for the purpose of saving the mother's life." According to Shafer, the primary focus of the amendment is the tax issue. "The state of Arkansas should not spend tax money for abortion." But he acknowledges that the state does not now make any direct appropriation for abortion.

"So the amendment would be preventive." The tax issue worries opponents of the proposed charter change, who argue that prohibiting the use of state funds for abortion effectively denies a poor woman an alternative legally available to a wealthier woman. Section l's open-ended opportunity for legislative intervention worries opponents even more. Shafer says the authority Section 1 would give the Legislature is nothing new. But he hopes a strong statement of public policy will alter the climate in Arkansas and somehow reduce the number of abortions performed annually. Declaring public policy "to promote the health, safety and welfare of every unborn child from conception until birth," as proposed in the amendment, would apparently extend the state's protection to a fetus from the time of conception .1 I 7 THE 1 Crossbow Tournament October 13 14 and accept the controversial premise that a fertilized ovum is an "unborn child." Dr.

Roger Bost, professor of pediatrics at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences campus and an opponent to Amendment 65, says the amendment implies that a fetus is entitled to the same rights as a newborn or an adult. His own view is that a fertilized ovum is "far from" an unborn child, a view he believes is held by most physicians. Bost also challenges the denial of state funding for abortion on dis; criminatory grounds and suggests there could be far-reaching effects on indigent care at the state-supported hospital. But his medically based arguments against the amendment represent only one of the fronts from which Amendment 65 has drawn opposition.

Hodges makes the case against the amendment on moral grounds. "The bottom line is the conviction that the abortion, decision must remain with the individual to be made on the basis of conscience and personal religious principles and free from governmental interference," said Hodges." -v Noting that the amendment would wrongfully inject a single religious viewpoint on abortion into the state Constitution, Hodges spieled a half dozen more reasons why Arkansans should vote against Amendment 65. Feelings on this particular issue as illustrated by the remarks of Shafer, Bost and Hodges are understandably intense, After all, wrapped up in the debate over Amendment 65 are the same questions that have been the focus of the long-running national controversy over abortion and which will remain whether or not Arkansans adopt the proposed amendment.
