Consolidation of County and City Governments. Community Auditorium, THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION President Harry Truman and Governor Adlai Steven- son recently spoke out against a Democratic role of opposi- tion for opposition’s sake, under the new Administration. The outgoing Democratic President. and the defeated Democratic: nominee agreed that the Republican Party, coming back into power after a twenty-year lapse, should have a chance to show what it can do. Despite one’s opinion of the Truman Administration record, or of Governor Stevenson, it must be admitted that this is a position taken with the best interest of the coun- try at heart. Nor would the American people approve a plan of obstruction for obstruction’s sake only by the Democratic minorities in the House and Senate. It seems quite apparent that the average American voter is ready to give the. Republican Administration a chance to correct deficiencies in both domestic and inter- national policies—if the new administration can accomp- lish such aims. The Democrats, after having been in power 8o long,-would-only alienate many loyal Democrats by a policy. se opposition to everything Republican. In fact, st might insure the election of another Republican i hinistration {n four years, whether or not the Hisenhower Administration had been able. to accomp. lish many of its dims in the years 1953-1956. When a’ reporter asked Governor Stevenson how long it would be before he spoke out on the conduct of the new Administration, Mr. Stevenson replied: that there was no point in talking until there was something to talk about. Neither he nor any other Democrat knows how long it will be and how much there will be to talk about during the reign of the Republican Administration, General Eisenhower has won a Presidential election by a genuine landslide and the American people have in- dicated they want him to try his hand at improving the functioning of the American government. It is gratifying to see that the leaders of the Democratic Party appear to be willing to:give him a fair trial, at the beginning of his Ad- ministration. A word to the wise might be enough but judging from the endless discussion and debate there are few that are wise, Most parents take credit for the good points of their children and wonder where the perverse symptoms orig- inate. —. “SHE WANTS SANTA CLAUS TO Fill IT WITH A SECOND UIEUTENANT f° Cenaiiens Hit Number One Spot In Poll By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD @ — Dean and Jerry made it. After six years together and three years in the movies, the mad team of Martin and Lewis has hit the top of the entertain- ment ladder. They were chosen the No. 1 box office winners in the annual poll of theater men by the Motion Picture Herald. The young zanies replaced John Wayne, winner last year but.No. 3 in 1952. Another veteran of West- erns, Gary Cooper, moved into the second spot. Following them, in this order: Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, James Stewart, Doris Day, Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, heey eg Scott.

Hollywood ‘gained’a healthy new respect for M and L. When the team was hitting the bigtime, I asked them for their explanation of their success. “I think it boils down to one thing—people want to laugh,” said jerry, the skinny, crew-cut mem- ber of the team. He added that “Dean is more than a straight man; he also has a great sense “People want to laugh, And I’m working with the funniest man in the world—Jerry Lewis.” Their dizzy ascent to fame hasn’t changed their friendship, Neither will brook any criticism of the other by an outside party. Their fellow workers have never seen any real friction between them. “We'll never break up because we never argue, ” Jerry explains. “That sounds impossible, but it’s not saying that one of us has never gotten put out at the other one. “But we have a system.

Throughout the many lands, the people of many countries have par- taken of the spirit and the cele- bration of Christmas. One cannot help but be warmed in the heart by the realization that on the birth- day of the Christ child, the peace loving and God-fearing peoples of the world are for the most part united in a common cause. One of the warmest Christmas messages is contained in a book, “The Spirit of Christmas,” by Henry Van Dyke, who wrote, “It is a good thing to observe Christ- mas Day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom. “Tt helps one to feel the supre- macy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds a man to. set his own little watch, now and then, by the great clock of humanity which runs on sun time. But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas Day, and that is, keeping Christmas. “Are you willing to forget what you have done for: other people, and to remember what other peo- ple have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give life; to close your book of complaints against the manage- ment of the universe, and look | around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness. Are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas, ...... 2 tbe.
