They say doctors die young.
We heard about a case this
week that comes in the same
category. It's about the auto
mechanic that took a trip to
South Dakota recently. We can't
even remember all the things
that happened to his car, but
among them were a burned out
bearing, a burned out water
pump and a lost rod, to say
nothing of two flat tires.
We always heard charity be-
gins at home-but it seems it
is not so in this case. Come to
thing about it, we always have
a heck of a time getting around
to printing statements, letter
heads and the other forms we
use in the office. We frequently
run out completely of something
or other-and right in the mid
die of the week, when nobody
can stop working on getting out
the paper to do what the front
office starts screaming for.
Our shop forman has deVolV-
ed a plan however. Now, when
ever he does a shop job, he
StaSheS away a few extra sheets,
books, or whatever it is, and
when we start weeping about
being out of something, he pro-
duces enough to get US by UNI
til the back room can get
around to printing some more.
Having a club house on the
golf course is going to be Won
derful. As a matter of fact,
we're right proud of it. 1t turn
ed out to be much better look
ing then we had anticipated.
The non-golfing gals now
have something to do and some
where to sit when their hus-
bands, all infected with the vir-
ulent golf bug go out and chase
that little white ball over 30
plus acres.
1t really should make for
some nleasant afternoons for a
great many people, and from
the looks of the crowd which
helped initiate the club house
on Sunday, it is going to in
crease the interest of Hardin
ties in a sport that is suitable
for young and old alike.
The club house will need a
lot of additions and improve
mentS. As yet, it is just a build
ing-and that's about all. But
if the enthusiasm Sunday was
any criterion, these improve
ments are going to be forth
coming-but fast.
We're having a heck of a
time getting any work done this
week. We can't tear ourselves
away from the radio when the
Republican National convention
is being broadcast. And even in
spit9 of our well-knoWn polit-
zeal leanings, Wen probably
have almost as tough a time
when the democrats get under
way.
The political sound and fury
is a lot of fun, and we'd give
quite a bit to have a seat in
convention hall, especially dur
ing the nominating and voting
on the candidates. The demon
STATIONS on the floor must be
a sight to behold.
Some of the speakers nave
been full of the usual polltlcal
platitudes Gust a bunch OF hot
air-if you want to put it that
way). Others have been sharp
with cutting wit and either rib

side of the fence you're on. The
address of Claire Booth Luce
Tuesday evening falls in this
group. The outstanding woman
in politics today, Mrs. Luce
Ioosened a blast of ridicule on
the democrats which showed
that she has lost none OF her
ability since her retirement
from public life.

Tn our humble opinion, how

a moderate, clear and statesman

any political party can reach

that Mr.. Hoover had probably
been more unjustly maligned
than any prominent political
figure since the 1920's. We now
realize that the So-called Hoo

worldwide economic factors
rather than our own domestic
policies. Very recently, the ex-

head of the opposing political
