OREGON Guest Editorial July 1», IN] 2—THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE <52 & YCU By INDIA EDWARDS Vice Chairman Democratic National Committee You’ve heard it. The opposition goes about crying, “It’s time for a change.” I heard it the other day in Cleveland. But let me tell you the answer that I also heard. While waiting for the redcap to bring my bags out of the airport, I found myself standing by a group of taxi drivers who had left their cabs because of the terrific heat. What Do Y041 Mean—Time for a Change? One of them sputtered, “I think it's time for a change.” Whereupon, a great big fellow advanced upon him booming, “What do you mean—time for a change? You’re better off than you ever thought you might be in your whole life. You've had a new car every year for the last five years that I know of. You have a huge TV set. Your wife has a washing ma chine. What’s the matter with you anyhow? The heat? You ought to have your head examined.” As I drove away, the other drivers were loudly supporting the big fellow. Twenty Yours of Change— For the Better As a matter of fact, the United States has been changing all the time for the last twenty years—changing for the better. America has achieved miracles under Democratic adminis trations because Democrats are not afraid of change. We believe that the best is never good enough for our country. By constantly working for a better life for all of our people, we have constantly raised the stand ard of living in our country. The very poor have become fewer by two thirds and even they are better off. The well-to-do and the rich have become more numerous. In the 30’s, only one family in about fifty was in the $5,000 a year class, and only one in a 100 in the $10,000 class, To- day one family out of six has $5,000 or more a year and one out of every 20 American families has an annual income of $10,000 or over! Americans will not vote for ‘‘a change” in November. uanaiuwi m ini m uii.ra'iwuinmmiKii’Wi DR.

How Nervy Can a "Tenant" Get? “Harry the Hermit” dropped in to see Judge Cunningham the other day and «tarted complaining about that dilapidated house he lives in over near Greenwood luike. “Who’s my landlord?” Harry wanted to know."Whoever you pay rent to,” says the Judge. "Don’t pay any rent,” says Harry. "Moved into that house twelve years ago and nobody ever came to collect.” “Well.” says the Judge, looking mystified, “what do yoa have to eomplain about?”“Plentjr,”replies Harry.
