BILL-BOARD
By BILL JENKINS
Now that Elsenhower has of
- flclally entered the lists for the
November battle the American
public is about to be treated to one
of the peculiar happenings that go
hand In hand with politics.
The headline writers' efforts!
It will be particularly bad in the
case of Ike. Tall gets off light by
being called "Mr. Republican" and
a "strong contender" and such
like. He doesn't have enough color
to really attract the attention of
the newspaper boys.
But Ike Is a different story.
Already you see the handwriting
on the wall and page one. "Ike
Trains Guns On Demos" for ex
ample. In the next few weeks
you'll have to endure the phrases
that will have him doing every
thing from opening up an often
sive to mapping his strategy.
Every military term known to
man will be pinned on him. Let
us fervently hope that he doesn't
come up with a complete snafu.
On the other hand We should be
grateful that Ike doesn't have a
campaign emblem such as Ke
fauver's coonskin cap. It must be
tiring and boresome for the candi
dates to have to submit to being
pictured in these weird getups ten
times a day.
portrayed Paul Bunyau lu the Jay
cee celebration ot a number of
years ago. He carried a huge
wooden axe and led a small
(brown) ox around the streets. Kc
tells me he still has the axe. but
whatever happened to the ox is j
anyone's guess. j
People seem :o be taking to the i
weather very well. No complaints,
but one universal statement.
"After last winter I can stand a !
lot of hot weather." That seems to
be the concensus of opinion. j

Your American dollar is worth
just 87 cents in Canada. It had
feoucrht 1.10 In Canadian dollars or
merchandise for many years. Go
ing back a bit further, it was worth
1.20.
Are the Canadians happy about
this reversal of the exchange rate?
Heck, so. One Canadian told us
that tourist business form "the
states," which is very important
thing, had dropped off 50 per cent,
because of the softening of the U.S.
dollar;. The Canucks are definitely
urhappy.
In addition to the penalty on dol
lar exchange, you pay a sales tax
for "social credit." This, as indi
cated from the name, is a social
ized urogram like our '"social se- i
curity. '
The Canadians are smarter than
ne art though, and put it on sales
rather than payrolls. (We tourists
helped pay it.) There's an election
coming up and there's some mea
