"Our record itself is sufficient.

If it is made clear the people will support it "We do not need to indulge in the exaggerations of partisan politics. I do not claim perfection for this administration but where we have failed it was not from lack of trying." Sounds Peace Theme Sounding a peace theme. Eisen bower said it is difficult to be as peaceful in the present day world as Americans would like to be. He said that while we may be as peaceful as possible, someone else may make an aggressive move that would disturb that peace. "While it is not a secure peace that we have." he said, "there are many, many thousands ot American mothers that are mighty thankful their sons are not involved in any shooting."

Lek At The Record' Nixon, speaking briefly after F.isenhower finished, urged the Republicans to follow the advice of a Democrat, the late AI Svtt who used to say over and over again: "Let look at the record." That. Nixon said, is "what we are going to do." "We dont have to embellish it with clever quips and fancy phrases." the vice president said.

Suggestions Made Various speakers made these suggestions: Let the principle of gradual ness" regulate the speed with which new industries are brought into the communities. The community should decide whether it wants new industry or not, and proceed accordingly.

Traffic and parking facilities should be improved. The west by-pass is needed as part of the traffic control system. Lancaster needs a community center. Regional planning now looks to a five-mile limit outside the city, and In 20 years to an eight-mile radius. Individual citizens must be aroused to the feeling of personal responsibility for the 4 future of the community.

The problem of handling sewage outside the city is growing, and an authority to handle this would be legal. Mayor Kendig C. Bare and Capt. John M. Groff, general chairman, welcomed the approximately 30 men and one woman who attended the opening session in City Council chambers.

The total registration this year is 6.960 more than th previous high, 108.581 set in 1952. The increases, though spe tacular, were just about apace with population gains here, it was reported. 160.000 Adults The 72 per cent registration is based on an adult population estimate of 160.000, supplied by Joseph Snavely. of the Pennsylvania State Employment Service.

This includes all residents over the age of 21 and therefore eligible to vote. In 1952, the previous record year for registrations, about 70 per cent of those eligible were enrolled. The adult population at that time is estimated at 6.000 less than at present, or 154,000. With 108,581 registered at that time, this figures to about 70 per cent 4 340,000 Seen by 1976 (Total county population listed at the Lancaster Looks -Ahead Forum today was 235,000. Projected to 1976, the popu- lation will be 340,000.) The 72 per cent registered this year will be lowered some- -what when duplications are eliminated from the registration books.

Ordinarily, registration clerks said, about L000 or so duplications result because persons already on the books needlessly re-registered. In any case, the registration this year is about proportionate to the 1952 enrollment. Registration books closed yesterday, with a daily record of 1,200 persons enrolling at th courthouse.
