Eisenhower has suffered a heavy blow with the revelation that his running-mate had ac- cepted some $18,000 from private sources to further his political activities, Without going into the merits of that situation, which has been dealt with thoroughly many times, it has been interesting to observe how General Eisenhower reacted to this situation. In the first place, the General did not immediately charge those who had broken the news with partisan politics. Of course, he knew that Democrats were eager to take advantage of any situation, but he called for all the facts and withheld comment. It seems that he earnest- ly studied reports and information for several days and that he was attempting to do what he thought was right under the circumstances, The fact that he did not immediately back up _ his running-mate showed his determination and some political courage for, no doubt, Hisenhower knew the situation would not be helped by inaction. No one has been able to hide the fact that General Eisenhower considered serious- ly asking Senator Richard Nixon to step down from the very ‘first. Regardless of one’s opinion on the conduct of Sen- ‘ator Niybn, hé probably feels that the General is suffer- | | ing under a county chairman and a ing for actions over which he had no control. If the elec- tion is very cluse in November and if the Nixon episode proves the decisive influence on the country’s voters — which we do not foresee at this time — it would be a hard blow for Eisenhow a man who refrained from ac- tive politics as long as he was in service and who gave up his salary immediately upon entering into the political sphere. The best friends are those who seek nothing. The best thing about most stage productions is the ending. —————$—_______, The day of the nickel ice cream cone and hot dog lingers on in some communities, thankfully, but the tom has the blind staggers in most areas.

Intemperance A friend and I were discussing gambling and his one contention was that the intemperant man is too prone to throw away money that is badly needed within his own home when betting is legalized. The ministers have used the same argument and J can't see where it will hold water. We all know that there is a pre- centage of men who will gamble money that is needed badly at home. By the same token, there is a like precentage of men and wo- men who use bad judgement in spending their money in other ways The housewife who ignorantly goes out and buys T-bone steaks at every meal, thereby depriving her family of other necessary foods is similar to the inveterate gambler because she is being intemperant. The man who spends too much on a flashy automobile, luxurious clothing, etc., may be injuring his family just as much as if he threw the money away at a dog-track or in a poker game. Intemperance can only be judg- ed by degree-- not by kind-- in my estimation. The human being who kills himself by eating too much candy has accomplished the same thing as the drunkard who dies in an alcoholic stupor. I think if I were asked to classify the various sins against man and God Intem- perance would rank right along side STRONG ARM BRAND COFFEB Triumph Coffee Mill at ALL GROCERS SLOPPY JOE’S BAR * Burlesque * Continuous Fleor Shows & Dancing Starring The Fabulous MARCELLA LYNN and JEANIE CRISTIAN, DUSTY DeLOUR, DOTTIE KING, SANDRA LANE and MANY OTHERS: | See KATHY CARROL The Sensational “MARIJUANA” DANCER MUSIC BY Mark Stanley's Trio Never An Admission ,or Minimum Charge ? bh tl bl bn ble btn belt bntn tind OF OURS GiBB | 8§$£444444444444444444 444844 4AADAAAEEE of murder, adultery, hatred, an@ | revenge. | Nice Work The pruning of the coconut trees j at the corner of Bertha and Flagl- er have increased the visibility of | the traffic light one hundred per- {cent.
