Don't Be a Vombie!

In Silver Springs, Md. last week, listeners to radio station WGAY were surprised to hear two rival candidates for Congress in sweet agreement:

"This is Richard E. Lankford, Democrat."

"And this is Frank B. Small Jr., Republican."

"I disagree with Mr. Small on many political issues."

"And I disagree with Mr. Lankford."

Lankford: "But we both agree on one issue!"

Small: "To make democracy live!"

Lankford & Small (together): "Get out the vote in November!"

The little act was part of the Register and Vote campaign sponsored jointly by the American Heritage Foundation, the Advertising Council and the National Association of Radio & Television Broadcasters. The idea is to get out 63 million voters in November, 15 million more than in 1948. For those who can vote and don't, N.A.R.T.B. has thought up the ugly name "Vombie."
