the minute he no longer felt capa-
bic of carrying on he would AT once
say so and at once become unavail-
able, Everybody who read or heard
him say that knew he meant it. Ex-
cept for Mr.. Butler and his Demo-
cratic Digest, the argument that
Mr.. Eisenhower really was anxious
to retire but that he was being
forced to run again by what they
called the Palace Guard has been
abandoned. Now, it is clear that
Mr. Eisenhowea' likes his job, really
wants to run again and has made
his own decision about doing So
AS to Mr. Nixon the effort to
make villain out of him has com
pletely collapsed. For one thing,
the Democrats were utterly unable
to sustain any of the charges they
made against him in the last cam
paign or since For another, he has
cOncededly made a competent, first
class Vice President both at home
and abroad. For a third, he is in
complete accord with the Presi-
dents policies and program. For a
fourth, his denomination was logi-
cal and inevitable. Finally, unless
all the experts are wrong he has
grown in public esteem in the last
four years. Add to all this that the
Democrats privately concede their
hold on the two great voting groups
upon which they have depended,
since 1932-to-wit, the Negroes and
organized labor-has lOoSened, and
it can be easily understood why so
many Democratic leaders are with
out confidence about November. If
they had a candidate with tremen-
dous popular appeal it would
brighten their outlook a lot. But
they just do not seem to have him
and, while it is true anything can
happen in politics, the Eisenhower
Nixon odds are little heavier than
in 1852. 1t is a state of affairs that
makes name calling by the opposi-
ton almost unavoidable.

A review of the accomplishments
of the Saith Congress must include
the observation that truly efficient
government is handicapped if one
political party controls the legisla-
tive branch and another party, the
executive. News commentators have
cOmplimented the saith Congress
for smooth and efficient perform
ance and for an outward appear
ance of amity l agree that, in the
main, the record of service to the
people has been good, but l am
sure it would have been better had
the responsibility not been divided.
The record of the Congress in
cludes legislation of both direct
and indirect benefit to citizens of

younger tourists. They were
Elaine Isaacs, Joyce Maloney,
Cretta Friedman, Marsha Pret-

Jack Friedman, Billy Delling-
er, and jerry Mcpherson. They
went to Wilmington by cars
and took the train, coming
home the same way after a
terrific time. School will
again cl2im them next week.
Maybe this might be a good
place to notify those members
of the Women's Auxiliary
whose names begin with A TO
M. that they are asked to make
candy for sale at the Lions
Club Minstrel on the 18th and
18th. The Hospital Auxiliary
roll call is long one these
days so the list is being divid-
ed for different activities. Can
dy may be brought to the
Nurses Home on Wednesday
at one o'clock of the 18th,
where it will be bagged for the
performance of that evening.
This is not a big task for any
one but it does bring a tidy
sum for the hospital needs.
The warm temperature of
today makes one want to get
out and enjoy the things that
are putting forth what will
soon be leaves and flowers.
And since there is no news
that / can communicate to you,
l shall be one of those who
will be taking my pleasure out
OF doors for a while.
Always.

boys quit Scouting after few
years because there is no program
new to them in Scouting. Just hard
work and no pay.
While others are enjoying a Sat

advantages of Scouting. | think it
only fair, these devoted few be re-
