Editor's Letter Box: To the Editor: It smacks like our national intelli- | gence has done a bungled job in Korea in an attempt to save face of the U. N. and stop communism. It has cost the U.S.A, a lot of money and a terrible lot of lives lost and brought us complete defeat. Harry should wake up to the fact that: others like the singing critics have received a lot of pokes in the nose and need beaf-steaks under their eyes. I got provoked a few years ago, when VOTE SEEKER MORRIS called Harry the greatest ham actor of all time, but it sure seems that the accusation is very fitting at the present. Laying all jokes aside: we should bring our boys on home as fast as they reach the ports of departure, leaving the old world to settle their own fights, and prepare this country to combat communism when and if they come here to fight. It would be a lot cheaper and quicker for the U.S.A, and spare a lot more lives, even though it may be that we al ready have a fifth column of com munism in this country. Respectfully, DICK TURPIN.

When our Main Street parking problem cropped up again, we an nounced a strict one-hour parking policy, and swore in extra deputies to enforce it. We also sent over to the State Capitol for a traffic expert, to give us pointers. He turned out to be real helpful—spent a whole after noon with us talking about zoning and such. And when he left the building he found a ticket on his car for overtime parking! Could have gotten sore, I guess — or asked us to “fix” the ticket. But instead, he insisted on going over to the Sheriff's Office and paying his fine. From where I sit, it’s good to know people, like that young fel low. who refuse to be treated any different than anyone else. City people and farmers — those of us who prefer cider and those who’d rather have a cool glass of temper ate beer —we're all entitled to the same privileges.
