ILflDflDK ON IPage 3 SECTION TWO TODAY FOR GROCETERIA SAVINGS! In the Day's News Br FRANK JENKINS General Eisenhower will go to Los Angeles next Tuesday to address the national encamp ment of Veterans of Foreign Wars. His campaign aides say his speech will be brief and entirely non-politicaL T SUPPOSE by "non-political" they mean he won't laud the Republicans and berate the Democrats. Anyway, I hope so. I know that is the accepted pat tern, but I feel in my bones that this a different kind of cam paign. This time, I think, the people of this country will be sizing up General Eisenhower and Governor Stevenson and saying to themselves: "Which of these men will be most likely to give us the kind of government that will be BEST FOR THE MOST OF US in the difficult days that lie ahead of our country?" Maybe I'm wrong, but that is the thought that seems to be uppermost in the minds of most of the people I talk to. "DUT," you may say, "what of D the PLATFORMS? Don't they lay down the POLICIES? Isn't it the job of each candidate to convince us that the policies of his party, as outlined in the platform, are RIGHT and the policies of the other party are WRONG? Isn't that the BIG thing?" TELL me this: - Did you read the platform oi eitner party? ah the way through, I mean. Carefully enough to digest and understand it? I didn't. And I'll bet you didn't. Most of us sensed long ago that poli tical platforms are designed in these days to HANDLE THE DELEGATES at convention time and for nothing much else. Once the convention is over, the plat form is forgotten. In modern politics, at least. it s the MAN that counts.' ' PLUMS Are Here! jjg7puT up ; I v rr'i j WHY is that true? This is the answer. The BIG job of the President of the United States is to pick the men who will head up the departments of a government that has become too big for any one man to handle all by him self. The kind of government we have in the next four years will be determined by the kind of men appointed by the President who will be chosen on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of this year. PERSONALLY, I'm convinced x that General Eisenhower will pick the best men available in our country to do the job IN THE WAY HE THINKS OUGHT TO BE DONE. He knows what he wants, and he has had wide experience in pick ing men to get big jobs done the right way. His big job from now until election day is to convince a ma jority of our people that he Is the kind of man to pick the kind of men that will give us the kind of government that will be best for most of us in the years that lie ahead. That's about the size of it. TIERE's an interesting little story from Washington: Pacific Northwest states and Alaska will receive nearlv two million dollars out of the $65,- 87o,000 apportioned by the agri End Canning Guesswork! with positive SEAL To Celebraie Mass In Historic Church Jacksonville Mass will be celebrated in historic St. Jo seph's Roman Catholic church here Sunday, for the second time in the past 20 years. The worship service will be in conjunction with the Jackson ville Gold Rush Jubilee. It will be at 10 a.m., with the Rev. C. J. Linehan as celebrant. Mass was also held during the Jubilee last year, but before that, the church had been closed for many years. The historic structure was built in 1858, one of the earliest churches on the Pacific coast. The building will be open for inspection and private wor ship from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday during the jubilee. Only BALL Jars come with WAl Lids O aVOTHf KS CO.. MUNCH. INO. tl MONTI, CAk .... i - - w culture department for the opera tion of the school lunch pro gram during the coming school year. Under the law setting up the program, local sources will put up approximately $1.50 for each dollar of federal funds. The ac tual amount put up by the state will be determined by a formula based on the state's per capita income in relation to the national per capita income. rTHAT is to say, of each $2.50 of the cost of the school lunch program the state will put up $1.50 and the federal govern ment will put up $1. We have been taught for the past 20 years to believe that the federal government's con tribution will be manna from heaven. Hard experience is teaching us otherwise. We're finding that WE PAY ALL THE TAXES both federal and state. It all depends on which pocket we take the money out of. In the end, we'll PAY IT ALL, anyway. T THINK General Eisenhower is the kind of man who would say that if we want school lunches we'd better pay for them ALL out of the home pocket in stead of sending part of the money to Washington and then getting it back BADLY SHRUNKEN. WEATHER By United Press North California: Partly cloudy to cloudy through Fri day; scattered thunderstorms in mountains and a few scattered sprinkles in lowland areas; little temperature change; wind off shore mostly west to northwest, 10-20 MPH. Many on Federal Payroll Won't Get Worker Benefits Washngton (U.R) . About 800,000 persons on the federal) payroll are barred from Civil Service retirement benefits, ori ginally intended for practically every federal worker except the president and vice president, a survey showed Wednesday. Most persons hired by the fed eral government since Jan. 1, 1951, are on "indefinite" Civil Service status and are not en titled to participate in the retire merit system unless they were under Civil Service at some previous time. Congress barred putting any more people on permanent civil service status after the Korean war broke out and the federal payroll shot up sharply. The Civil Service Commission said about 800,000 persons now are under the "indefinite" emer gency status. They are like any one else, eligible for social se curity benefits. Almost all of the rest of the 2,500,000 federal workers are under some kind of retirement plan. LONG IN ONE PLACE El Dorado, Kan.
