The
Southernmost
Corner
By CHARLES DUERKEs


The demagoguery so evident in
the recent Chicago conventions
sounded a tocsin. It presaged the
demagogism to come during the
big campaign. And the almost chill
dish distortion of facts, the deft
sideStepping of truths, involved in
the welter of political flapdoodelry,
served as a well aimed backhand-
ed slap at the intelligence of the
average voter.
One wonders whether or not the
laundering disregard for reflec-
ton and judicial elaboration so
blatantly displayed in Chicago is
not a carry-over of performance in
the administration of certain bran
ches of government during the
past few years.
For example, three years ago the
Navy claimed that the big B-36
bombers could not fly high enough
or fast enough to cope with mod
ern fighter defenses but the crit.
cism was pigeonholed and several
hundred of the ten motored planes
were built at a cost of three mil
lion dollars apiece. Now, it is re-
vealed, the last of the big birds on
order will be delivered in 1854.
has been shown that the B-29 Sup
efforts, kid brothers of the B-36,
have suffered badly in Korea skies.
1t takes jets to do the job.
What took who so long to find
out what and why?
Then there's the fifty million dol
lar Casablanca air base scandal,
now being investigated, and the in
vestigation into the manner in
which the Mutual Security Admin
istration has been spending those
foreign aid billions.
Since 1945 foreign aid spending
by the MSA and the ECA totalled
sixty three billion; since 1910 one
hundred twelve billion.
Among charges in the Senate
that MSA has been tossing the tax
payers dollars about with gay a
bandon is the accusation that
funds were misspent to furnish
cars, chauffeurs and some sixteen
thousand housemaids for MSA per
sonnet. There are other charges,
equally as fantastic and just as de-
pressing to the average voter. But
why has it taken so long to check
| up?
1t is too much like locking the
barn after the horse has been
swiped.
Of course, most of these capers,
and scores of others, have been
Smothered by "a smokescreen oil
demagoguery.
In the coming campaign you'd
better be prepared to sift the facts
and the truths from the trash.

venson will not indulge in person
alities. They are both gentlemen
and will not step down into the
gutter and toss mud at one anoth.

oppurtunity came. Pedro was ask

painting a rose window. The
Padre had spoken for the glory
of the Virgin, but Pedro had
thought only of his Rosa. Before
he realized it, his chisel was hew-

Of Rosa for ships seldom came
and went. Daily did Pedro think
of his Rosa, wondering il she
was as true to him as when he
said farewell. But with every
click of his chisel, his hopes
would return stronger. The vim
dow done, he would see her
again.
He began t. dream that she
would come to crown the last
touch of his masterpiece. Pedro
now told the Padre about his
Rosa, and with his help Pedro
wrote and asked Rosa to come
to the new world. Pedro worked
faster and faster to complete his
work, and more lovingly he chisl-

He was now on his last petal

GROVE CITY MAN
SEEKS EVIDENCE
OF CELTIC LIFE

George Yates, 1891 N. Broad
way, Grove City student of Indian
and Mound Builder lore, reports
that archaeologists at Ohio State
University have identified his col
lection of artifacts from the Dar-
bydale area as belonging to the
Fort Ancient culture.
Mr.. Yates has made frequent
explorations in the fields about
Darbydale and has found enough
evidence in the form of deer
bones, flintS, elk teeth and camp
fire ashes to convince him that a
considerable settlement existed
there many years before the COM
ing Of white man.
Down in Ross County a short
while ago, he interviewed one
farmer who told him of finding
in one of the fields "a stone axe
so large 1 can't carry it to the
house"
Mr.. Yates also paid a visit te
the hearthpit furnace on Spruce
Hill near Bonneville in the same
county. This excavation, it will be
recalled, was made by Capt. Ar.
lington Fl. Mallory, the researcher
who claims that Celtic people
lived in what is now Ohio before
the time of Christ.
While he does rot claim to bt
an authority who can dispute the
contentious of Capt. Mallory, Mr.
Yates said he would like further
evidence before accepting fully
the idea that the Ohio country
was Celtic before it belonged t
the Mound Builders or the In
dians.

BY FATHER RAYMOND

Pedro Huizar of Old Granada
was born in poverty. He was edu-
Gated by the Spanish monks and
became a master Of chisel and
stone. While yet young man, he
met the idol of his boyhood
dream, and her name was Rosa.
Because of his poverty and true
to the standards of a Spanish
gentleman he did not ask Rosa to
share it. True love however,
always finds way He went to
his old teacher and begged to be
sent to the new world where the
monks were building mission
churches in Mexico. His ambition
was to execute in these churches
the art taught him by the frairs.
The teacher spoke of the many
hardships he would be called
upon to face and of the long
weary voyage. Confidently and
filled with enthusiasm Pedro
rushed to tell Rosa of his plans.
Rosa wept but promised to await
his return. After weeks on the
wind-torn Atlantic, Pedro reached
Mexico. The first few years
