One Of the most remarknblc and
clear.cut achievements Of reputable
makers OF tires In the past decade
has been the development Of the
cord tire. IL IL beyond question
that a weIl-constructed cord tire Is

Political Rally!
Our Wanda Was in 1t!

Matt ktsrwich hasn't had ono
laiI bresi." yelled the speaker.
Something which hasn't hap
pened for five sherifis baeis. and.
what's more" he proceeded to
yell. he's decreased the shcriu's
budget $1,000"
With that we Just about brought
down the roof. and wiiiiam.D. Dow.
ncy. making for the hat rack, seized
his belongings and escaped out the
front door.
Wen. the party had been 50 sue.
cessful and we'd sIi had such a good
time that we didn't want IL TO end.
We decided 10 get on the phone
and invite up a few more candidates.
"Blg political rally going ON up
tho street" said we 20 them over
the wire. "and you're wanted"
well" said most Of them.
WE'VE rot several meetings but wei
be there"
And up they came William A.
Gaines. for county treasurer. re
election; Lillian Meehan Jcvi repuh
iican candidate for representative
Alice NJ. Lord. republican candidate
for senator. and william A. Gilmore
also n republican candidate for state
senator
We decided we were for all OF
them
william a. Gilmore was the
only one who bothered us In the
least. II wasn't that we op-
posed In any way his fervent de
sire TO smash the Hart political
machine nj Olympia; IL was just
something that he said 10 us
personally.
Said he. Now I'll tell you wha,
I'll do. explain all this 10 you
girls very simply-so that even you
Will be able 10 understand"
We had our faces all set TO yell
again. when II suddenly dawned
upon us. We're still thinking about
that remark. but we're trying not
to let II interfere with our good
Judgment.
The candidates escaped in body.
explaining they had numerous other
appointments 10 keep. We girls re.
manned and drank lemonade and ate
waters, not being quite certain
whether or not regular political
rallies usually ended that way or not
Anyway, II was lot OF fun, and
we're just wondering II we couldn't
possibly hold another meeting be-
fore The election. We're just CRAZY
about politics.
