ETAOIN SHRDLU by WES4LEY R. RAMSEY Have you been to a ball game lately? The Saints are a good team and have some good oppo- sition. Strictly home town tal- ent is being used by all teams and in many cases high school boys are playing on teams. Let's see now, we have 1) good games 2) a home town team and S3 good opposition. That fills .al the requirements that local peo- ple stated they wanted to see. Still the ball club is not getting the support it deserves. Granted the schedule so far has been sort of slip shod-but that is explained by the fact that a good many of the players are members of the National Guard, which has been on maneuvers. The sche- dule will be fairly consistent for the remainder of the season and each game will be posted on the sign boards up town for your convenience. You wait means of relaxation, so get this relaxation and a good time by coming out and watch- ing the Saints do their stuff. sI-- Brother, brother, it has been hot. We have tried everything to, make it rain. Nearly washed the paint off the car, went .off for a couple of hours and left the windows open, watered the flow- ers and other such sure-fire me- thods of bringing on cool show- ers. Have you noticed anything different about some of the men in town lately? There's a differ- ence. They're eating in the cafe, going to work with a slight stub- ble on their chins, have a hun- gry look on their face, and dish pan hands. The only thing wrong with them is that their wives are. off visiting "Mama". Doc- tor Wesley Grace, the eye doc- tor, is-the latest addition to this lan. We have been a member of this clan for the past few weeks but we will shed the trap- pings of bachelorhood Friday when the tribe will be hack home. We want to offer some sug- gestipns to these wifeless men. Don't .waste time wasing those dishes. -Go ,buy some paper --'glasses, plates- and spoons. UsC- them and throw them away. A . Real time saver and your nerves don't get that frayed edge they sometimes get when the wife gets home and finds all the dish- es dirty. One woman todk us literally last week when we said the bak- ery was in back of our print shop. She came in and asked-us how to get back to the bakery. Guess we should have said that it was in the building in back of the Star building. Concerning our little spiel the other week about the heating plant in the Elementary School building, school board member J. B. Harris said that-they had discussed the matter at their last meeting. He didn't say what they decided but thev discussed it. We didn't mean to sound cri- tical but we feel it should be fixed. The Fourth of July is coming but-it just doesn't seem like the Fourth anymore. When w"v were kids, the Fourth meant firecrackers. Now they are ban- ned as too dangerous over most of the nation. v We can see why they have been banned but we can't help but' pity the kids of today for the fun they're missing by not having fireworks to shoot off If we were one of the legisla- tors that passed this law on fire- works it would have taken a lot of deliberation before sign- ing such a law and even while signing, it would be with a feel- ing .of pity that another old American custom was receiving a kick in the pants. By the time the civic clubs and the City gets through, this town is going to be "broke. out" with play grounds and recrea- tional facilities. We say bully for it. The town will be a much better place to live in for them. Attending Camp Miss Betty Ward, daughte-' of Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Ward; Miss Di.tnnei Lay, daughter of Mrs. D.

One is not to swim too far out and it applies to good swimmers as well as poor ones, nor to swim all alone. Grown-ups who should know better are prone to these accidents.

STILL PAYING FOR INDEPENDENCE This Fourth of July places the United States practically in the same position as it was when the independence of this nation was won. At the outset of the history of this nation as a free nation, a group of farmers and small businessmen armed with ancient muskets, rifles, blunderbusses, kniyes, clubs and any weapon that could cause bodily harm to their enemies against what was then, the greatest, most mo- dern and up-to-date army of that time, armed with the latest weapons and methods of des- truction known to the warfare of that period. The Americans atom bomb of the period was its intense desire for freedom at any cost; The Americans had a tough battle. They- were considered as a nation of backward, igno- rant people by the so-called civilized world of that time, a group. of men unworthy of an all- out military effort on the part of the British, thus our independence was won. Our indepen- dence has been kept because an enemy has never been able to estimate our full capability. Today we have practically a perfect fac- similie of this position. At the end of the war the United States inaugurated its various plans of aid to set ravaged countries back on their feet economically. The enemy thought it couldn't be done (along with some Ameri- cans) without plunging the country into bank- ruptcv. So the enemy set back for a time and waited for the collapse the collapse which never came. So now the enemy is using other tactics to beat this nation to its knees. But the enemy is being met in all quarters by wea- pons possibly crude but very effective just as in the days of the birth of this country. At this term of the birth of our independ- ence, Winston Churchill has said of America, "It is evident by all the peoples of Europe 'that had it not been for the United States, Europe would now be bankrupt'". Thomas Jefferson, one of the greatest of Americans offered the opinion that it would not be advisable for the United States to get in a position of having a number countries indebted to us for their very existence as the situation would soon result in jelousy and eventually into hatred. Jefferson offered this advise during the nation's infancy, when it was on the verge of bankruptcy itself. Jefferson had an immense faith in the future of the nation because of the principles that it was founded on. Today we must echo Jefferson's faith. DID WE BUY OR SELL It may be a long time before we know who promised what to whom in the cozy week end White House chats of President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Churchill, Secretary of State Dulles, Foreign Minister Eden and a handful of other dignitaries. Probably not since the war of 1812 have the views of London and Washington been more divergent, and it would be a grim outlook indeed if thetalks failed to bring the two nations closer together. However, judging by Teheran Yalta and Potsdam, the concessions at such talks have been largely furnished by us in the past. Thus, it may be just as well that Mr. Eden revealed to the House of Commons, just before leaving for Washington, his plan for a South East Asian non-aggression agreement between the West and Red China. Forewarned, those who speak for us may have stood firm against seeking worthless Red promises and at the price of Red recognition. But we'd feel easier if that Bricker Amend- ment had been passed. dA t a FS YR 8If SO IV ******** ++***+++++++++++++< LIFETIME PORCELAIN FINISH On Cabinet, Top and Tubi -'-- ~-.. ,. 95 J Automatic Washer k Porcelain Finish Protects against washday heat, moisture and stains k Live-Water Action Only Frigidaire has it! k Select-O-Dial Completely automatic, or fully flexible for any kind of washing * Float-Over Rinsing Gets clothes cleaner * Rapidry Spin Gets clothes drier than any other washer * Sealed Unimatic Mechanism Direct'drive, completely sealed, oiled for life Built and -Backed by General Motors APPLIANCE STORE Washington SEE SAW by WIN PENDLETON CATFISH VS.
