Legislature Senate Hones Voter Registration Reform
In Austin the Senate plans another vote on a voter registration law to fix flawed rolls. Sen. W E Snelson briefs that about 30 percent of today’s rolls are inaccurate while Mauzy’s amendment adds registration by political belief. The measure would issue fresh lists for March primaries and general elections with biannual purges and new certificates.

Also noted were Scoutmaster search, Eagle Scout achievement, Citizenship Award talk, channel markers by Coast Guard, a March 14 fundraising dinner, and a PTA First Aid class with 6 to 10 p.m. sessions at the school.
