Tom Mcknight, who edits the
Mooresville Tribune gets out one
of the best got up and most in
teresting papers we see. Toms
contributions are clever, witty and
meaty. Because on this day we
feel lazy, we are passing on to
you some of his sayings, which are
better done than we can do. Here
goes:
/ see where Eisenhower wants
to amend the immigration laws
so we can take more foreigners
in this country. That's smart
thinking. He figgers it will be
cheaper to take care of them if
we've got 'em over here with US.
Well, politics is picking up. ]
went over to Statesville the other
afternoon, stuck out my hand to
make left turn and two candi-
dates shook it before / could com
plete the turn.
l think the confusion in this
country reaches its peak every
time we have an election year.
When the other side puts it out it's
propaganda, and when your side
puts it out it's education. Even
after discounting so per cent of
all l hear, I'm still confused. Ed
Doolittle says its universal, said
he was in town the other day and
saw some turtles in a department
store looking for people-necekd
sweaters. That's the way it goes
in a election year. The average
candidate knows so little and ex-
presses it so elegantly. Of course,
things could be worse. Just look at
politics in France. / try to see the
bright side in these matters.
think one of the great evils of our
time is that folks don't count their
blessings as carefully as they
count their money.
Grace Kelly is marrying beneath
her. It's a shame to see this we'll
bred, wholesome girl marry the
silent partner in an over-stuffed
gambling joint. That is the Prince
of Nonaco's sole claim to fame.
During the week l spent there in
1924, Monaco contained more well
dressed riff-raff than could be
found anywhere else under the sun.
