Amvet Head Asks
7 Point Program
For Red China

A 7 step Program for Red
China's entry into the United
Nations was proposed by State
AMVET Commander Vern E.
Dexter of Dayton.
Commander Dexter asked all
Ohio AMVETS - Veterans of
World War II and Korea, to con-
slider whether or not they could
urge the United States to support
Red China's membership in the
United Nations after Red China
had qualified through convincing
words and deeds. He sent let
ter to each AMVET Post Com
mander in Ohio outlining the ac-
ton. that Red China must take
to qualify itself for United Ma
tions membership.
l. Red China must demonstrate
that she is not an agent for Rus
sian World domination by active
ly working for the unification of
Korea upon a free and secret
ballot election directed and super
vised by the organization she de-
Sires to join - The United Ma
tons.
2. Red China must actively
work for the unification of Indo-
China based upon the same type
of election as proposed for Ko-
rea.
3. Red China must make reSti-
tuition for some 80 acts of piracy
committed against present United
Nations members.
4. Red China must establish
repre- sent tive government
throughout China. This means a
government in which the people
have a choice of electing about
two or more candidates their pub
lie officials as is the case with
the majority of the present Uni
ted Nations members.
5. Red China must release all
present prisoners for repatriation
6. Red China must openly de-
clare she is against any further
territorial expansion by recogniZ-
ing the present government OF
Nationalist China and reducing
the Red Chinese military eStab.
lishment to a defensive organi.
zation only as agreed to by q
majority of the members OF the
United Nations Security Council
This means Nationalist China
would continue to be a United
Nations member.
7. Red China must satisfy the
Director General of the United Ma
tions that she can and will pay
her proportionate share of United
!, Nations expenses on a ratio oi
: population of Red China to thai
of other United Nations mem
berS
.a4t Commander Dexter said tha'
AMVETS - in the interest o.
firmly established world peace -
Might support the entry OF hec
China into the United Nations d
she would meet these prerequisite
qualifications.

Our opinions regarding the
sanity of some of our relatives
are usually reServed-at least
until the will has been. read.
EXPLANATION
The term, "A skeleton in the
closet" may sometimes be as
cribed to the remains of a
Thanksgiving turkey at IL o
clock in the evening.
oucHl
Suppose you've heard the
one about the awo weeVils? ?
No? Well, once upon a time
there were two weevils - a
big one and a little one. The
little one had an inferiority
complex because he was the
lesser of two weevils!
LIVING
Lot o. women nowadays
wonder where their husbands
spend their evenings. If they'd
come home early sometimes
they'd probably find him sit
ting in his easy chair.
SUCCESS
The reason that there is so
much room at the top Of the
ladder is because a great
many slip and fall off.

ond, land wish I knew as

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Many a man will drink cam
ned orange juice but who
still wants to squeeze his own
tomatoes.
HUMNN!
According to some, capi-
talist is a guy who hasn't
spent all of his money.
FACT
True, gossip shouldn't be re-
peated. But what else in the
world can you do with it?
coPPERHEADs
From the Oct. 18 issue of
the MADISON COUNTY
UNION published in 1866
comes the following: 'The
Copperheads expect to carry
Franklin county by major
ity of from $500 to 5000. To
this end TOM MILLER'S
money, whiskey and imported
votes flow freely. But, alas,
such had been the wear and
tear upon the party since last
fall that notwithstanding
these patent influences in
making Copperhead votes, and
the large addition of Joe Gel
ger and Saul Henkle to their
ranks when the votes were
counted TOM MILLER had
only 1887 more votes than the
Hon. SAM'L SHELLABAR-
GER"
Such was editorial opinion
in 1866!
SUGGESTION
Any argument to the con-
trary, we'll bet that the first
thing a missionary teaches a
cannibal is not the good words
of the bible but rather that
he becomes a vegetarian.
MYSTERY
From the content of some
of the mystery" books we've
been reading lately, it isn't so
much who killed the butler
but who in the world printed
the book in the first place.
PARENTS
A mother is perhaps the
only person in the world who
upon hearing that her son has
been kicked out of college In
early December, will announ-
ce proudly that her son will
be home for Christmas.

now"
