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

"one-party” press in this country.
