past few months has been indicative of the struggle
which the second party went through to become estab­
lished. Today there are two political camps in the com­
munity. This is good. Conflict in politics and proced­
ures means good government. This is what our found­
ing fathers had in mind when they created the forms
of government which guide this republic.

There’s no stigma to losing an election, it’s just like w orth, Medford, visited friends in
losing a horse race.
A shland M onday evening.
But the situation that existed up until last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Joe D rewneak and
Mr .and Mrs. Richard Conrad
was reminiscent of a horse race. Like the fellow said, and
children, Dicky and Kay, of
“the first horse race I went to I hated to tear up that Chinook, M ontana, arrived In
Ashland W ednesday to visit with
ticket when my horse didn’t come in.”
And th at’s what happened to a lot of good people in
Ashland, they just couldn’t bring themselves around
to tearing up the ticket, after their horse failed to
come in.
We’re glad to see that this week most of the tickets
have been torn up and thrown away.
There’ll be other races, and other tickets. But in the
future, let’s hope everyone tears up his ticket and
throws it away after each race is over.

VICIOUS RUMOR
. . . Has a way of spreading. During the past two
weeks a rumor that the FBI was checking Ashland for
Communistic activities has been going the rounds. The
report was supposed to have emanated from a broad­
cast by H. V. Kaltenborn. To date the News Review has
been unable to find anyone who heard the actual broad­
cast. Word from Kaltenborn’s network states that the
commentator has been on a two week vacation, from
March 14 to March 28.
Kaltenborn’s staff is presently going through the
previous scripts to see what particular story could
have given rise to the story which subsequently spread
like wildfire in-Ashland.
Our comment at present is: Please check carefully
any vicious rumors which might hurt your friends, your
neighbors, or your community. This one concerning
Communism is vicious,, malicious, and can do a great
deal of harm, and bring much unfavorable publicity to
this community.
