II is a curiosity that Willkie was
ambiguous while a candidate and
clarified his position as soon as
he ceased TO be a candidate.
II the Republican party comes
out OF Chicago without a message
to the American people-a clear.
positive, affirmative message-its
position will grow increasingly
weaker as the American people
ask themselves not whether this
OF that candidate is competent or
able but what does he stand for
and what does his party stand for
and will his party in Congress
pursue the same course that he
will as President. And the sub.
jects uppermost in their minds are
the war and the peace to follow.
In this extraordinary election in
which American parents will be
voting concerning the lives OF their
children they will prefer a party
that has the courage to say, I'VE
hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent" and then states the truth
as their wisdom, experience and
consciences give them to see and
know the truth. Neither astute-
ness nor ambiguity will win for
the Republican party. The people
expect OF 1t courage and integ-
rity in its affirmations.

CITY TAKE s

CITY TAXES
Is Mr.. Citizen allowed TO attend
City Council meetings The answer
is YES" but why dc not more peo-
pie attend? Is it because everyone
is completely satisfied with their
revised tax assessment? Is It be-
cause our present tax rate Is so low
that further reductions are impos.
sible? Is II because our city charter
is in perfect up-to.date order?
From the number OF protests over
the new tax assessments that were
made at the city hall last week, we
believed the council rooms would be
crowded to capacity when the coun.
ell met last Monday. But what did
we find? In addition to the Civic
Affairs Committee OF the Junior
Chamber OF Commerce, there were
just two (2) other Ypsllanu citi-
zens interested enough In city gov
eminent TO attend.
Mr.. Taxpayer, aren't you inter.
ested in what your new rate OF taxa
ton is going to be or how your Tax
Dollars are going TO be spent? Our
tax rate is not so low that reduc-
tions cannot be made. In fact, COM
pairing our rate with other cities in
the State Of Michigan we find Ypsi
lanti Is among the highest. Here is

The 6ha-pound oil bombs can be
dropped In aimable clusters which
explode over the target into indi-

the bombs have cloth tails which
steady their flight and reduce the
velocity to prevent them from
penetrating light buildings and
