To the Editor:
It »macks 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.

Advertuement
From where 1 sit... /jy Joe Marsh
Here's An
"Expert" Example!
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. That is, so long as
what we do doesn't conflict with
the law of the land.
