Dear Readers,
1t is our duty to form the hab-
it of straight thinking-in n,ak-
ing small every day decisions-to
prepare us to solve the social, eco
nomic and political problems that
confront every American citizen.
A person who thinks calmly and
logically can quickly detect crock
ed thinking and EMOTIONAL AP-
PEALS and will refuse to he tax
en- in by political trickery.
We have a great number of
straight thinking citizens. Aprar-
emily some politicians fail to un-
derstand this.
1t is personal insult that we
are expected to fall for the soap
opera type public appeal that was
recently given by Senator Nixon
We wonder that one of his film
dom hackers doesn't offer Sena-
tor Nixon Hollywood contract;
it would be much more appropri-
ate than the Vice-Presidency.
In our opinion he displayed a
lack of confidence in the intclli-
gence of the American people. We
have more respect for the candi-
date who shows his confidence in
us by simply reporting the cold
hard facts and trusting the Amer
lean people to make the right de-
cisions without any dramatics in
| volved.
In this great nation where pub
lie opinion Yields great force the
welfare of the country depends
on the ability of the majority of
us to think straight and TO make
our opinions felt.

It's good to see the familiar
face of lawrence Lucas at Stan
dard. He is back to work after g
severe illness. Glad to have you
back, Larry.
How To Balance Our Budget
Especially how to balance oul
food budget is one of the rlail
problems plaguing us these days
Another is high taxes.
Before we begin to feel toe
sorry for ourselves, we ought tc
| look back a few years.
| The year 1882 was nightmare
to most Americans. There were
16 million men out of work-anc
millions of women and childrer
were suffering because Their
breadwinners were not able tt
earn a living.
Even those of us who had jobs
didn't have any feeling CT Secur
ity. We all had friends who hat
seemingly steady jobs shot GU
from under them. We all had th'
unhappy feeling, Maybe In
next"
Making allowances for all in
crease in the cost of living, VI
have better standard of livin,
than we did in 1929-the peal
year of Republican prosperity
Every major working group ha
multiplied its income severa
times since 1929 Wages have gon'
up. The income of farmers ha
quadrupled. Independent bushes
and professional people have trir
led their incomes since 1929.
We have done all this through
democratic means and withou
taking all the costs out Of tn
hides of workers and their fam
lies. We would have better pric
controls if the Republicans an
Dixiecrats hadn't sabotaged ther
in Congress. One way to mai.
sure they don't gouge us any NOR
is to keep the DiXiecrats and Re
publicans out of control in tn,
next Congress.
