Election Day, Paid Holiday For GE, Poses Questions 'Pols' Wondering If Boys Will Vote or Go Hunting; Good Wife Will Find Jobs to Do Pittsfield, Owv. 2-The one thing that makes next Tuesday's election different from elections that have gone before was being talked about by politicians today and the question was being asked. "What will the GE workers do on their first paid election Will they take time to vote or will they take the gun and the dog and hit for woods while they let the other fellows do the voting? Willthey pack the family in the car and; take advantage of last holiday with any guarantee of good weather?" At least one problem will be solved with father home from the shop on' election day.
No need to furnish baby sitters. Mother can vote while father takes care of the baby and then is free to- vote or put on the storm windows or any of the other odd jobs, that are saved for the holidays. Another question arises, too. Will the need for cars at the polls be as crying as in other vears? How will the peak loads at the polls change with the day paid holiday? And what if it rains? All these questions must wait until Tuesday for an answer. But those who are planning campaigns wish they knew the answers tonight.
