Newspaper Page Texti MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfenf, Or. Sunday. Dee. 13, 1959 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A PHILADELPHIA LAWYER named Myers Fisher liked to come to Benjamin Frankin for free advice. "Friend Franklin," he began one morning, "thee knows almost everything. Can thee tell me how I am to preserve my small beer in the back yard? My neighbors always are tapping it o' nights." 4iPut a barrel of fine, ; old Madeira by the side' cf it," advised Franklin.' " "Let the neighbors but get a taste of the Madei- ra, and I . will engage . they'll never trouble thy Small beer any more." . Stonewall Jackson, great Confederate general, was - the Idol of the South, and it generally was believed, not without Season, that given a mere handful of loyal troops, he could whip ' and outflank an army of thousands. - After his death, legend had it that St. Peter sent two- angels foriim. They searched everywhere, but couldn't find him. When they reported their failure to St. Peter, he told them, "Why, he ' las flanked you both and has been here six hours!"

CENTRAL POINT Band Concert Presented Br DORIS HUGHES Central Point-A Christmas band and choral concert was presented at the Central Point Junior High school gymnas ium before an audience of 800 Dec. 3.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In New Delhi, the capital of the Republic of India, President Eisenhower makes three speeches. In them he I. Called for expansion of universal recognition of WORLD LAW as a sound basis of peaces - 2. Declared summit confer ences of the big powers have less enduring influence for peace than exchanges of stu dents and people - to - people contacts. . fc Oiled for a worldwide war on hunger. A S TO NO. 1 ."How can you have peace "without law? It can't be done i Before there can be peace, there must -be LAW. And ... If LAW is "to bring PEACE . .' . the law must be ENFORCED. If the law is to be enforced, there must be police. The League of Nations got nowhere. Uni ted Nations isn't getting very far. . ' . Why? The answer is simple. "NO POLICE. If we are to have a world organization to PROVIDE LAW, - we must have a world police force to 'enforce the law. AS TO NO. 2 V Summit conferences of the leaders of big powers are apt to wind up as propaganda battles. For that reason, they :tend to SOW THE SEEDS OF WAR rather than sowing the seeds of peace. ' When people know each other and understand other, peace is possible. 3 each A S TO NO. When people are fedr they are in a contented mood. When they are hungry, they are on the prod. People on the prod are ripe for war. I KNOW these statements sound like pious platitudes. But SOMETHING is loose in the world. What is it? I DON'T KNOW. But I .HOPE it is a new and more intelligent yearning on the part of the people for PEACE. For countless millenniums, the people have tried to solve their problems by WAR. It hasn't worked. War has mere ly brought MORE problems. Maybe people are beginning to realize that CONSIDER MR. K. , An odd and puzzling change came over him a while back. All of a sudden, he be gan to talk less of war and more of peace. Why? MAYBE, although he is a despot, he got AFRAID of the people. Of the PEOPLE of Russia. Of the PEOPLE of the conquered satellites. Of the PEOPLE of all the world. Anyway, let's hope so. When despots begin to fear the people, it's a good sign.

TN CLOSING, one more ! thought: Maybe Ike is taking a new tack. Maybe he has concluded that the big challenge of the future is a FIGHT FOR THE MENDS OF THE PEOPLE. Maybe he is challenging Mr. K to such a battle. If so, he has made a pretty good start in India. lL. -ySIO rlFS.- v JUST ARRIVEDl WILTON : t5CMmm' CAKE decorating BOOK ' 1 A wonderful 9ift! 111 CAKE DECORATING Decorating bi SUPPLIES BUY NOW PAY LATER!
