2—The Mill City Enterprise, Thursday, Nov. 3, 1966' RAMBO’S RAMBLINGS By Goldie Itambo Some of my readers have been wondering if I got crowded back into a corner by the good Republicans around camp—a look in the office window should let them know —just aint so! Well, anyhow we got an hour back this weekend so will take a few minutes (be fore election time) to express a view or two. There are good Republicans and good Democrats—and vice-versa. But I can’t get very excited about the Gover nor’s race — the senatorial campaign is something else again. I am a strong Duncan supporter—and am a little sick of the Vietnam theme be ing overplayed. Surely we aren’t sending a senator back to Washington, D. C. on that issue alone—but one would think so to hear all the yak, yak. That and the “rubber stamp” phrase. Well, I imag ine if Governor Hatfield is elected he will rubber stamp bills and opinions if it will expedite his career. If the war was over tomor row and taxes were reduced, politicking would lose a lot of its flavor. Which brings to mind the thought that too much time and money is spent on campaigning as far as I am concerned. The time elapse between primaries and general elections was meant for horse and buggy days. It seems that politics enter into everything nowadays— including the current picket ing of super markets by housewives. Yes, I think it’s just that—I notice in one town 50 Republican women leaders are spearheading the move. Nice timing. I’m sure all of us would like to see lower prices—and see our food dollar stretch— but are we willing to do our bit (besides picketing) to bring them down? We can’t expect to eat our cake and have it too. Look at all the varied selections we have now plus fancy convenience foods, contest games, stamps, etc. I like them and so do you, but it costs money, gals. Speaking of the high cost of living, trying to live within that almost impossible thing k nowadays—a budget, I was reading an interesting article in a current magazine. Spending is supposed to be at an all-time high in Wash ington, D. C. But during the Eisenhower administration the powers that be were pled ged to preserve the fiscal chas tity of the country; but five of its eight budgets were un balanced and one contained the largest peacetime deficits in the nation’s history ($12.4 billion.) In the summer of 1965 the deficit had hit a five-year low —so, I would suggest that our present fiscal policy isn’t all that bad. No matter who is in Wash ington, we are a rapidly grow ing nation; a wonderful na tion and we must continue to pay for the privilege of maintaining it and our free dom. As James Reston wrote in the New York Times, “you can have a budget deficit by accident in this country, or have one by misfortune. But planing one is like planning an illegitimate child. It’s the sort of thing that happens but is never arranged.” Goldie Rambo, Woman's Page Editor, Phone 897-2772 Idanha Church Women Plan Dinner and Sale IDANHA — The Woman’s Mission Society of the Idanha Community Church will spon sor a “Dime a Dip” dinner, and bake sale November 9 and 10 in the social room of the Idanha Fire hall between the hours of 11 a. m. and 2:30 p. m. on both days.
