banners and signs for the fest
ivities. The 1952 pageant, which will
be presented free at 8 o'clock
Saturday evening on the school
grounds, is "ready to go," ac
cording to M. L. (Doc) Tweedy,
pageant chairman. The theme of
the show will be the "Discovery
of Crater Lake," based on Dale
Vincent's feature story- A stage
has been constructed that is a
replica of an old building in the
town in which much of the ac
tion which led to the discovery
of the Crater lake took place.
The route of the grand parade,
according to Paul Matheny, will
be the same as last year's was
with entries forming at the high
school football field. From there
the line of march will be up to
California street, then west on
California to the Old Stage road,
then south along "D" street to
Highway 238 and back to the
school grounds.
Anyone wishing to enter the
burro derby which will be held
both days is invited to contact
Jubilee headquarters for derby
information, according to Chair
man Ed Rooney. The derby is a
featured event of the Jubilee and
the first time such an event has
ever been sponsored.
Further information concern
ing any of the events of the two
day celebration can be obtained
at the headquarters for the af
fair in the U.S. hotel building
on California street in Jacksonville.

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.' '

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.

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.

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

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.
