One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 A Great American Passes On With the passing of former President Harry S. Truman last week, a great American goes to his reward. It is difficult to determine how future history will treat Harry Truman. A controversial President during his time in office, much of the work he did is still being assessed and evaluated, but the entire world will remember him as a true fighter, a man who perhaps more than any President in modern times, embodied the spirit of the great American dream. Not outstanding in his career before he was suddenly left at the helm of the United States, President Truman was faced with some of the most difficult and most world-shaking decisions of any man in modern history. He accepted the responsi bility and although many of his decisions were controversial, he showed the strength of will to stand behind his convictions and follow out a course whether it was popular or not. Coming up through the ranks as an “average" American citizen with an interest in leadership, President Truman was Perhaps one of the expressions he an unabashed politician, will be best remembered for referred to the life of a poli- tician, when Truman remarked that if a candidate “can’t stand the heat, he’d best stay out of the kitchen.’’ Although Harry S. Truman’s position in history may be insecure at this point, his place in the hearts of Americans is secure. All the world admires a man of courage, and that was the quality most exemplified by Harry S. Truman’s life. A great American has passed on. SUPEMiTENDENT'S CORNER By W.L. McPartland LETTER TO EDITOR Editor, The Journal: Happy New Year to each of you and your staff! I liked my ad, and enjoyed each of the greeting ads in your Christmas edition.
