A MINUTE
WITH Nj

IL Is quite apparent that from
the start Of what was promised
to be high.lcvcl presidential
campaign, it is going to be jus,
the opposite.
Without taking sides in the
issue. and to repeat an old story
the Democrats appear to have
loaded their guns again with
criticism. and as yet have no,
offered any substantial or con
structive change of policy.
According to Stevenson every
thing the Republicans have done
has been wrong. but still they
make no account for the record
all.timc high employment and
national income. They have no,
been able to account for the tax
reductions and the fact that the
government has been able to
operate within their budget for
the first time in many years.
In plain talk. and as is SO
often done during campaigns
the truth is twisted. warped and
distorted to where the publicity
writer's often fail to recognize
their own stories when they see
them in print This. of course
applies to both sides.
II We were to believe all VIC
read that is produced in tho
propaganda mills. VIC could soon
go crazy trying to figure on,
how We managed to survive from
one administration to the other
buying new cars, TVS and the
many other luxuries we enjoy.
Right now | feel like a paupel
-. and we'll should. No one
has been able TO show inc how
much profit have made. bu,
my creditors arc always on hand
to show me how much | owe.
Oh we'll. come income tax time
there is one party who will show
me haven't operated at a loss
then he will take what Is lief,
and l can start all over again.
A sure winner would be the
party whose platform would call
for the adjustment of all taxes
and the execution of tax col
lcctOrs.
Politics and weather. so ii has
been said, can always make con
scrvation - and it may be true
/. depending of course. on the
weather. and which side of the
political differences one chooses
TO support.
Somehow the weather has al
ways Interested me more than
politics. ] have never heard OF
anyone starving as the rcsul, OF
which political party was in
power. but | do know that the
weather has broke many a man
and II also has lot to do
with how many fish | can bring
home.
II 4 person is foolish enough
to put all Of his eggs in one
political basket. SO to speak. and
invests his whole future in q
grand.slam stock market boom
or some other venture of chance,
then he is entitled to a political
funeral. II he goes broke be-
cause of drouih or flood. he Is
sure to have n lot of company of
all political affiliations. and is
entitled to 4 chance to start over
again.
It's n mighty good thing tina,
the weather. unlike the stock
market. isn't controlled by the
mcandcrings of politics.
And speaking of the weather
last week was the first time
have seen II snow before the
harvest was in. However. old
timers tell me II Is not too un
common around these parts and
II Is no sign that one should
put his ear on blocks or change
to the rcd woOlcnS.
The weather this week ha.
lent proof TO that statement witt
the coming Of what many Of u,
call Indian Summer. and ii
fact. has produced some prctt!
warm days.
Nothing like the cool fall day.
and a trip to q stream with moth
ing more to worry about thar
how big the biggest one will BE-
