(UPI Telephoto) GEORGE AVOCADO SOCIETY 'Ultra' Middle-of-the-road Group Suggested! for Extreme Non-Extremists By DICK WEST Washington-IUPD-There is a lot of talk these days about organizations that-advocate a rtfWI fixed point of view S o m e of these - groups are described as "ultra" con servative and some are de scribed as '"ul t r a" liberal. It occurred to me that there might be a lot of people , like myself who don't fall into either category, mainly , because we don't feel ,very strongly about anything. Rather than be left out en tirely, I think what we should do is get together and form an "ultra" middle-of-the-road organization. It would give those. of us who never take sides ,of any issue some place to hang our hats. ; If nobody else wants to volunteer to serve as founder of the group, I am prepared to offer a few suggestions that might get the ball rolling. First a Name , The first thing that any or ganization must do is find an appropriate name for itself. For the group I have in mind, this task is fairly simple. . I propose that it be named In honor of the first man ever killed in an automobile acci dent while driving down the center lane of a highway. . Unfortunately I don't know the identity of that distin guished casualty, so I have 1 had to invent a name to rep resent him. Let our group be known, then, as the "George Avocado Society." Note the extra bit of sym- Tempests To Hold Dance in Ballroom Ashland - The Tempests, a Southern Oregon college 10 piece musical group, will sponsor and play for a dance Saturday, April 29, from 8:30 p.m. to midnight in Britt ball room. ' t The Tempests will feature rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and vocal selections. The group has completed a number of recordings, one of which is currently being fea tured in the Seattle, Wash., area. Instruments used by the group include bongos, guitars, piano, drums, trumpet, and maracas. Townspeople are invited to attend the dance. , POTATO HOME Lima, Peru - The potato plant is believed to have had its original home in Peru or Chile where it grew wild on the plateaus of the Andes mountains. . o o 07 bolism in the word "Avoca do." It fits our group because the avocado i neither bitter nor-sweet, in tact, it is virtu ally tasteless. The membership of the George Avocado Society will be open to all citizens whose upbringing, instinct or inter pretation of the U.S. Consti tution tend to make them ex treme non-extremists. ' Our motto will be: "Fence straddlers of the world, unite! You have nothing to gain but a callus." Drive for Neutralism The aim of G.A.S. will be to force citizens of an opini onated nature to join us in a neutral corner. -There are a number of ways to .accom plish this. Suppose, for example, that Congress is considering new immigration bill, Some people would claim the meas ure would admit too many immigrants; others w o u 1 d claim , it , wouldn't admit enough. . The G.A.S. would then step into the controversy and brand both sides' as "immigra tionists." This term, as far as I know, doesn't mean any thing, which blends in with the society's policy of being deliberately vague If you are interested in pro moting ultra middle-of-the roadism, you can write to me for a membership card.
