While the political pots are beginning to boil and to call the kettles black, there are rumblings of explo- sive portent in the air. Events and conditions grow daily more complicated, with evidence on all sides of inefficiency in leadership. At a time when the future of this nation is at stake and the fate of freedom throughout the world hangs in the balance it behooves every American to face facts, however unpleasant they may prove. It is an old American past-time to grumble and growl at those in public office, but the loudest critics are usually the ones who are too busy to vote or who piously explain that they don’t want to mix in “dirty politics.” And so the stay-at-homers decide most elec- tions and the apathetic citizens find themselves on the side of the "dirty politicians’’ after all. Manv a business man who demands references as • • , , . r „ u .™ u i to previous experience and character from his humbl- est clerk will blithely endorse any candidate who belongs to the right club or who knows the right people, regardless of his proven ability. Mr. Average Voter ignores all too often the need for sound business experience in those who are elected to run his munici- pal or state or national government. A background of practical qualifications should be required of every person who aspires to any office of responsibility or leadership. A simple standard of efficiency based upon proven business ability should be set up for those who have the handling of the taxpayers money whether it . .... ble millions or billions. . . . . It is easy to carp and criticize while persisting in giving aid and comfort to the enemies of good govern- ment "by simple negative action. It is hard to hold up the mirror of truth to ourselves and acknowledge the fault is within us. Unless we are willing to elect men and women of proven ability, loyalty and experience we are deserving of muddle-headed misgovernment. Never was it truer that “birds of a feather flock to- gether” and “a man is known by the company he keeps” ’ what kind of company does your candidate , , ’ p Pastels are the latest thing in public buildings. Their long- gone but not forgotten brick ancestors must be writhing in i anguish in some dump. • • • Walk along any street and sniff the spicy pungency of chili sauce, the sweet fragrance of peaches, the drifting aroma of fallen apples and the acrid smell of burning leaves; look across the valley and see the haze circiing the green gold foothills and know that BY C.
