If any unsolvable question arises, the judges call the county clerk's office for advice. The judges, being women, must also arrange their home life before going to the polls. "I'm one of the lucky ones," Mrs. Roby said. "My three daughters are old enough to fend for themselves.

Sue is almost 18, Gayle is 16 and Diane 12. jn fact, they look forward to election day, since that's one time their father usually takes them out to supper. "However, election day comes at a bad time for me this year. That's Sue's 18th birthday. Arrangements Made "Some of the women with small children must arrange for a baby sitter or leave the children with relatives.

Husbands who work nights often find themselves playing 'mama' on election day." One of the more pleasant tasks in being a judge is getting to hold babies. "When young mothers come to vote, they often have to bring their small children with them," Mrs. Roby said. "We get to care for the babies and toddlers while then- mothers vote." The judges in Precinct 28, Mrs. Roby's precinct, are lucky this year.

"The polling place is Ira Barnes' garage at 221 Delmar Mrs. Roby said, "There's a half-bath in the ga rage, which eliminates one of our problems." Even with the planning and problems election day creates, the judges are happy with their jobs. "I've been a judge for 15 years," Mrs. Roby said, "and I'm not tired of it yet."

To the average American voter, who spends no more than 10 minutes in a polling place, an election judge is a little like the voting booths she's just one of the fixtures. The "inside story" is quite different, however. Far from being as easy as it looks, a judge's job entails the same types of problems as any other line of work, with a few extra ones added for good measure.

Mrs. Verne Roby of 141 Del-mar who has served as an election judge for about 15 years, is familiar with every aspect of the job. "One of the first things you learn," she said, "is to take something along to do. Those who knit bring their needles and yarn, many of us bring letter-writing equipment and others bring books or piece work. Slack Times "There aren't many times in the day when things are slack, but if you don't have something to do to fill in the gaps, the minutes can get pretty long." Election day begins early for the judges and their families.

They are required to be at the polls by 5:45 a.m. Mrs. Roby usually gets up about 5 a.m., since she has a short distance to go to her polling place. "Some of the judges, though, probably have to get up about 4:30 to make it on time," she said. She usually eats a little breakfast.

"One indispensable item that goes with me to the polls is a laree thermos of coffee," she laughed. Work Begins But the judges' work does not begin and end with election day. Two judges get the supplies Campbell's Woodcut in National Show Douglas G. Campbell, grandson of former Decatur residents Mr. and Mrs.

J. E. Gourley, is one of 100 students whose work will be shown in the National High School Print Show in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Furniture or three days before the elec tion and check them to be sure everything needed is included. "On the Monday preceding the election," Mrs.

Roby con tinued, "we deliver the booths, ballot boxes, tables and chairs to the polling place. Usually our precinct committeemen are nice enough to set everything up for us." This is usually done on Mon day night. After the polls close on elec tion night, everything is taken down, two judges return the supplies and get a receipt for any unused ballots. Besides finding things to do during slack times, there are other problems the judges must cope with. "One thing all of us suffer from is drafts," Mrs.

Roby said. "It doesn't seem possible that this could be a problem, but, believe me, it is. "All of us bundle up well. Many women appear in fur-lined stadium boots, slacks, winter skirts and a lot of us even take blankets to wrap around our feet and legs. Sitting down all day doesn't give you much of a chance to keep warm.

The thermos bottles of coffee and tea also help." Eating Planned Eating during the day is a carefully planned operation. Only one judge at a time is allowed to leave the polls, so many of the judges bring sandwiches for their noon meal. "None of the judges can leave the polls until all the ballots have been counted," Mrs. Roby said. "This is where our precinct committeemen or our husbands do their share.
