Canyon Avenue Parade By DON PETERSON Now that the election is over we hope to be able soon to settle down to our everyday duties. It was excit ing while it lasted and many are dis appointed at the results and many others are very happy over the re sults. We find some solace in the fact that these canyon communities were not duped and did not run like frightened sheep to seek refuge in “any port in a storm”, as so many did when the republican “saint” Mc Carthy cried “communist”, or when the general said “I’ll go to Korea if I’m elected”. A movement has already started by women to send telegrams to the general in order to collect on hie promise to “go to Korea if he wn< elected”. Many are not happy with the postponement of his “promised” trip, even to get a well-deserved rest. Republican newspapers are already alibying that we can’t expect too muck in the way of getting the Korean war settled, however the same “news” pa pers before the election were glowing .n their confidence that the genera.' would bring the boys back with him. We are proud of the fact that we did all we could to keep the public informed in some small way and ap parently were successful in prevent ing the majority of the voters in these precincts from falling into the Re publican booby traps that have bees so artfully set up by their paid prop agandists, aided and abetted by the "one-party” press in this country. * * * Police Commissioner John Muir reports that complaints have been coming to him about the speeding that has been going on on the newly paved streets.
