MEMBER OF ukegon newspaper publishers assn . “PREDICTIONS OF THINGS TO COME” Pre-convention backers of Dwight Eisenhower, including the NEWS, are holding their collective breaths until November as we watch the GOP campaign machine falter in its well- meaning but ineffectual attempt to win the coming election. Given all the political breaks ob tainable, the Republican chances this year are slight. The only possibility of breaking the 20-year hold on the White House front door key, we feel, was in picking a radically different campaign technique and following it through in the hope of attracting enough intriqued independents for victory. Ike’s campaign as yet just doesn’t have it! Republican candidates seem to LETTERSlotheEDITOR (Following are portions of a long communication sent the NEWS commending the Jubilee and Valley growth.) Editor, Illinois Valley News As a Legionnaire of Post No. 15, Medford, who attended the Illinois Valley Jubilee with several other Legionnaires from Medford, hav ing arrived in Cave Junction In I STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES! have an uncanny ability for learning nothing from the election mistakes of their defeated predecessors. Since the first election held during World War II, in 1914, GOP presidential campaign masterminds have stuck to the same monotonous tune that a change is needed in the White House occupancy. Needless to say this cry hasn’t and won’t win elections. People are eating too well. This fact calls for some thing more startling in a campaign theme. No one is going to vote against what they consider the fullest pros perity obtainable. Voters are not like Republican presidential aspirants—they have apt memories. Lost mortgages, tumbling stocks and bread lines of the early 30’s stand out vividly as a GOP-caus- ed national tragedy. This blame is fallacious, but nonetheless realistic to most who have pulled the Demo cratic handle at the polls every other November since FDR offered his ser vices as a national saviour. Ike’s chances at convention time were about 50-50 to switch the roles of “ins” and “outs”. This amateur political prophet feels Ike’s chances are slipping weekly. Probably only a miracle in national or world affairs entirely out of his hands will save the 1952 campaign. We don’t mind voting for a loser each presidential election, since this will only be the second time we’ve done so. We are sympathetic, how ever, with the declining number of die-hards who will be doing it for the sixth time in a row!! TWO ¿ANC. stn & top W6NWAY • •• • • • e , • • ▲J.

On a two-lane roadway, you must stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus which has halted to load or unload children On roadways having three or more lanes, you must stop only if you’re traveling in the same direction as the bus. After having stopped, you must not proceed as long as any children are leaving the bus or crossing the roadway. To assist in holding traffic while children are crossing the road, al) buses are equipped with red stop signal arms. You must stop for the bus whether or not the stop arm is displayed. I se of this signal by the bus driver simply indicates the situation require* you to remain stopped The law applies equally to city streets and rural roads and highways.
