Editorial & Viewpoint
It seems that every time Mother Nature starts fooling around, everyone ends up with the short
straw.
Early this summer, she sent rains pummelling the county soil, thwarting harvest tries for two,
three, even four weeks in some areas.
Then, last week, she thought shed give everyone a break with sunshine. Hot sunshine. The kind
the farmers had been waiting for.
That hot sun and occasional breeze dried the wheat enough to start harvest again. When? Right
in the middle of the fair.
Fair receipts were about equal to last years. They should have been higher. But many farmers
and families had little time for the fair and rodeo. With the uppity weather, they figured they'd
better cut while the weather was on their side.
Poor timing. Mother Nature. When it rained, the farmers suffered. When it got hot, the fair and
rodeo suffered.
The fair and rodeo are over now. Fair weather blessed most of the days. We can thank Mother
Nature for that.
The harvest is in full swing again and farmers can finally see the end. We can thank Mother
Nature for that.
We should, we guess, be thankful for what we get. It could have rained all summer.

The silent majority
By JACK LENHARDT
Now that the Democratic and Republican Conventions
are over it is time to take a good look at the people our
presidential candidates will probably pick for the key spot of
U.S. Secretary of Sute. Let's look first at President Ford's
probability, more of Henry Kissinger.
Henry Kissinger is one of the most dangerous men our
country has ever had on its payroll. His "accidental"
blunders have occurred much too often to anything other
than deliberate. His "detente" program of appeasing
communist nations has been used to undermind our security
and our economy. Our U.S. citizens are being "sold down the
road", and President Ford appears to be helpless to act in
any way.
Henry Kissinger has acted in a manner to be expected
more from a person on Moscow's payroll than on the payroll
of the United States Government and a thorough
investigation with a full major and honest press disclosure
could open several possibilities. But let's look at some of his
past actions.
Henry Kissinjrrr hai insisted upon our trust in
communist nations while these nations murder and enslave
people by the millions. Even the Associated Press reports on
this enslavement. A. U.S.Senate report Issued three years
go ssys that concentration camps number in the thousands;
that conditions of starvation and servitude in these camps
are as bad as theyever were under Stalin. The Senate
document quotes eyewitness testimony of forced labor in the
open air at 40 degrees below icro, of cruel medical
experiments on slave laborers; of hundreds of women
prisoners being crushed by tanks; of nuns stripped nude and
dragged through the snow fr daring to prsy in the
forced labor camps, and othr atrocities too morbid to print
here.
This is the type of society Kissinger is wishing to
ppesse with loans, gifts, technology and political assistance.
The American taxpayers are forced to pay the bill.
With the leadership of Kissinger and financed by the
American taxpayers, the Communist enslavement now
Includes both North and South Vietnam. Lao. Cambodia.
Thailand and Angola. The countries on the immediate
drawing board for enxlavement are Portugal. Mosmbue,
Panama, Hhodrsia and South Africa. With Kissinger at the
hp I, l hew countries are not to have freedom much longer.

encroachment. Next week. Part II.

Show successful
Editor
The 1978 Morrow County Fair and Rodeo is now
history. This year's show was very successful in spite of the
bad weather we have experienced all summer.
On behalf of the Fair Board I would like to thank all of
the people who helped to put on the Fair and Rodeo. Some
130 people put their talents and effort into the show. Some of
these people have been working since last year's fair. Others
began their efforts in January. Almost all of these people are
volunteers.
Without the help and long hours so many of you donate
to this effort we could not have a fair and rodeo.
To all of you who contributed in one way or another,
pleave take a bow. You put on a show that all of Morrow
County can be proud of. Thank you.
Sicnerely,
Lis Curtis
