WHATAMAN TRUMAN

What happened? That the question asked by mil
lions of Americans Wednesday morning, November g.
How had Harry S. Truman succeeded in confomdng all
the posers and experts by getting himself elected President
Of the United States How had he handed without
benefit of aid from his party accomplished the seeming
y impossible in securing for himself fouryear extension
Of his lease of the White House?
As case in point Saturday Night published at Toron
to- Ontario carried editorial entitled Election Apathy
in u 81 in it's October 80 issue Please note that this
several days prior the election The Canadian
in part:
tWe have suggested that the Republican candidate
doesn't represent any definite attitude of opposition
the New Deal and believe this to be true The traditional
Republicans of course violently opposed to the New Deal
and the whole philosophy which represents but when it
to presidential campaign they have enough
to tone down the opposition because it is not voewnner
he element of uncertainty in the contest lies in the
fact that they have concealed that opposition su
GENTLY we'll The Common Man has been told ever since
the Hoover regime that this is his Era with capital E. and
that the New Deal what made his Era and if he gets
the idea that Mr. Dewey represents the kind of people
will take his Era away from him, he will vote for Mr.
Truman who is at least the ostensble heir people who
gave him his Era"
The foregoing may not be the complete answer it may
be part of the answer but sounds reasonable
At any rate the severest critic of President-eect
must recognize and tribute to his courage Against
whemng Odds he sugged out with his political opponents
and when the votes counted twas his hand the referee
raised the Winnah of the presidential bout Yea verify
he rghtfully be described as "Whatman Truman!"

THE POETS CORNER =.
THANKSGIVING Day"

1t was lots of fun together
On the farm Thanksgiving Day
When the family got together
In the good old fashioned way.
How the house would ring with laughter
With the stories they would tell
Of the pranks they played in childhood
Carefree days, they loved so well.
In the kitchen oft the children
Gathered round with happy sighs
Just to see the turkey cooking
And to smell the pumpkin pies.
AS we gathered round the table
Thankful hearts were filled with prayer
Hoping that by next Thanksgiving
There would be no vacant chair.
But each year must bring its changes
And as Thanksgiving draws near
Many are the vacant places
Left by those we loved SO dear.
For though now we cannot see them
And we miss them day by day
Let's just thank God for this mercy
For His guidance all the way.
For we know we'll meet together
Clasp each loved one to our heart
When we reach that last Thanksgiving
Safe at last no more to part.

Dear Editor:
Mrs. Hayes and I recently flew
to Los Angeles, Cal, to spend
my vacation with her mother,
Mrs. William Moseley. Needless to
say, we enjoyed the trip very
much. This was my first glimpse
of California. I am now a Cali
fornia booster, agreeing with
Mrs. John Moseley, who says
there is not another place on
earth like California.
While there, we saw many
people who lived in the Dexter
City ,Macksburg and South Olive
communities. All of them are
well and-prosperous. Mrs. John
Moseley observed her 81st birth
day and was busy for two days
attending dinners.

Her husband, Gordon Pivonka,

older brother, is a Navy chap
lain. He recently returned from
China and is now stationed at
San Diego.

his head about the California
climate. The sunshine is nice, he
said, but there's never any
