Lefty Pete King started as an

out to be the best pitcher on the

In fact, Pete has scored two wins
In the last two days. He was the
starter and winner against George

Grifith Stadium. Pete tossed the
last three innings, getting nlckeo
for only one hit. as G. w. came
from behind for an 8-6 win. He
also scored what proved to be the
winning run in the eighth. He
walked and went to second when

HAWK SPRINGS, Wyo.. May
12.-Kids these days are lacking
in resourcefulness? Say not so!
Kel Scott, II, of Hawk Springs,
accompanied by several young
friends, went for hike along
Horse Greek, near the Nebraska

Kel saw a large trout in the
creek-but as none Of the young
sters was equipped with hooks or
lines. he waded in and went after
the fish.
After a few minutes he had
literally "herded" the trout into
a narrow indent in the bank and
caught it with his bare hands.
It measured II inches in length
and gave up only after a consid-
erable struggle.

OPPORTUNITIES ARE LESS
aThe freedom and opportunities which we
boys had fifty years ago no longer exist. Not
only is it difficult now to get good job with
out belonging to a labor union, but almost
every trade is governed by laws and regu-
lations. Everyone with whom you deal, from
the nurse who takes care of your baby to the
undertaken who burys you must register and
have a license. This applies also to druggists,
plumbers painters, electricians, builders, ma
sons and even BARRIERS. Ostensibly, these Eek
aminations' are demanded to protect the pub
lic but they are fast developing into a racket
Not only are young people handicapped to-
day in getting jobs and learning trades, but
the wage and hour laws discourage employers
from building new plants and expanding. The
"drive" and willingness to take a risk, so evi
dent in my boyhood days is very rare today
Almost all are depending upon something
apart from their own brain, thrift and energy
/ to support them. 1t may be state law,

sOnal responsibility for ones troubles will
some day cause a smash.
EDUCATION is WORSE
The most dangerous. change is the source
of education. In my bOyhOod our education
came from the home the school and the
church. Today these great institutions have
lost their grip on the youth. The young peo-
pie of Gloucester and most every other city
are today being educated" by movies radios
and comics. None of these existed when was
a boy. They must be controlled or God help
America" The curse of liquor is bad enough
but the liquor problem is no worse now
than during my bOyhOOd. Our school COM
mittees are asleep.
Perhaps this food of sO-called comics 0

strips) are perhaps the greatest new danger
which 1 notice. Fifty years ago one could
get the Police Gazette in most barber shops
and saloons, but these new comic" maga-
zines are everywhere and are very much
worse. 1 wish every reader of this column
would buy and read a half dozen of these
terrible publications; but then, please burn
them! You will soon realize that these cursed
comic magazines are responsible for most of
today's Juvenile delinquency.

WASHINGTON d. c. - Cover
nOrs Tom Dewey and Earl Warren,
who form the Republican ticket
of president" Will find their cam
paign dOve-tailing perfectly with
the Congressional campaign this
year because of the foresight of
Herbert BroWnell, Jr., former ma
tional Republican Chairman and
Gov. Dewey's political manager.
On December 8, 1945, in speech
before the Republican National
Committee in Chicago, then Chair
man Brownell outlined a Repubii-
can program which was carried to
victory in the 1916 Congressional
elections.
Under the title of "The People
Must Choose" MIR. Browneel laid
down "a Republican creed"
He said:
I'VE believe in an honest and
workable relationship between in
dustry and labor"
The Republican Congress elected
in 1916 enacted the Hartley
Law which has been accepted as
means of creating a workable re-
latiOnship between industry and
labor"
Mr.. BrOwnel's Republican
Greed continued:
I'VE advocate more money in the
take-hOme envelope, based on pro-
ductive work and more profitable
business"
The Republican Congress follow
ed that creed by enacting over
Presidential veto, a reduction in
income taxes to provide mOIG take
home pay and to inspire greater
production and profit.
In that speech Mr.. Browneel also
offered a Republican alternative TO
the planned fascism" of opponents
to the Republican way. He said:
1--WE shall insist that our inter
national relations shall be con-
Quoted in conformity with the
American Constitutional system
that there shall be no secret
commitments which may cost, mil
lions of lives and billions of dol
lars -. We will carry out our pres
ent commitments to give whatever
measure of relief we can to prevent
suffering and starvation in the ma
tions devastated during World War
II, but let us insist that American
money and American food and
American clothing shall not be
utilized by other nations to promote
their own selfish power-pOliitcs.
: I'VE believe that American Sc
, curity demands the maintenance Ol
armed forces in all ~categories suf-
ficient to defend this nation against
any aggression"
The record of the 80th Congress;
shows each of these Legislative
steps has been taken.

were passed.
