APRIL 9, 1942 Mead again voted the dry ticket Tuesday when the citizens turned out to cast their votes on the wet and dry issue. Mead has been dry for "forty years" and the vote Tuesday signified their intention of remaining that way. The vote was about three to one against either liquor or beer. Eland Johnson, long time resident of Mead stated the last time this issue was brought up in Mead it was defeated by a much closer margin. In fact one vote if his memory serves him right.
