What of the
 E ection?

Election day Tuesday, Novem- Der 4, looms and the two parties have come to life for last min ute campaign rally.
 With "self-confidence close to smugness" the Democrats have been dragging their feet the past few months. The attitude of defeat and despair of the COP party has been obvious. This is all changed on the home stretch.
 Vice-president Nixon has put new life in the Republican party, with his vigorous campaigning, and even President Eisenhower has stumped in some of the doubt full baliwicks. The new Congress is almost certain to be dominated by the Democrats, according to Newsweek (issue Nov.3). It esti- mates 6O-64 Democrats in the Sen ate, and 250-288 Democrats in the House.
 Newsweek also predicts gain for the Democrats in governors elected. They now have 29 and are expected to come out with 32-36. The 19 Republican gover- nors are expected to be lessened to from IS to 17.
 The eyes of the nation are on the governors race in New York state between Democrat Averill Hartman and his Republican op- ponent Nelson Rockefeller. This battle of the millionnaires has stirred up an interest as it may have far-reaching effect - either might be in the race for the presi- dency of the United States at a future date.
 It doesn't look too good for Knowland, or the right 10 work laws.

" odern Pied Piper

You no doubt had been fascin- ated and impressed at one time with the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, who piped tune that took all the rats into the sea, thereby drowning them and doing a great service to the town of Ham lin.
 The modern Pied Piper doesn't work that way. He goes about in much more scientific and prac- tical way these days. The heavy rat population at the city dump was thinned out, perhaps not as simply, but just as effectively as in the days of the Pied Piper. Surely the piper din't have more than 5000 rats at his heels, for how could those in the back rows hear him pipe?
 Piper J. Richard Pace, other wise known as city sanitation en- gineer, was confronted with a prob lem no less formidable to that of the piper of old. Instead of arm ing himself with a piccolo, har- monica or a flute, his paraphana- lia consisted of warferin, boxes, and such. He employed a waiting period of a few days following closure of the dump, set up his delicous repasts. and then waited some more.
 Outcome: The destruction of an estimated 5000 rats.
 Bravo to the modern pied piper. His name will not go down in his tory, nor will school children read about. him in thir textbooks-but it is the living who VII be grate- full to him, and to the city au- thorities who have embarked on this very worthwhile program.

New Equipment at Orpheurr1 Theatre

The Orpheum theatre has re gently installed two new high fidelity Lansing speakers. To fur ther improve the quality of the sound, John Fletcher, manager of the theatre has put acoustical tile on each side of the stage, along the side walls, and he has covered the back wall completely. The tile is decorative as well as functional and it really cuts down the echo When the job is finished the echo should be gone entirely, and the sound greatly improved.
 On the screen you will notice picture that is wider. This is due to set of new lenses, recently acquired
 MT. Fletcher has been moving the seats around because he has flat platforms in the back and slanting floor in the front. When the seats were installed the flat floor seats were put on the slant ing floor and vice versa. Hence the seat moving. The rocking chair louges were raised about four inches for better visibility.

2 Sea GuIIs " a Means 10 an End

'~r the sea gulls and the rats, too.
 Kodiak. in adopting the sanitary land fill method, has followed in ire 4 atans of countless cities TO mention only a few California ci- ties, there is Bakersfield, Berke- ley, Burbank. Fresno, Los An geles, Palo Alto and San Fran cisco. We could go on ard on. Closer to. home, Seattle has re- claimed large tract of land in the downtown area. by this meth cd. Cities in Minnesota, Texas and on the east coast are using this method, partly to meet the di- sposal problem, but also to re- claim land.
 Looking beyond the present un- sightlineSs, the future possibili- ties should be envisoned. The area lends itself to the construc- ton of an excellent playground a much needed project for this end of town. Any land could be filled in by this method, but the dual benefit of licking the di- sposal problem and preparng a site for worthwhile community project-and at low cost-is both worthwhile and economically just flied and commendable.
 One point that is overwhelm- ing in study of the use of this method is the enthusiastic en- dorsement of health authorities. The Kodiak project was highly endorsed by two health officers who were here recently Calvin Winery, Jr., regional sanitary en- gineer, and Edwin o. Wick, MD, regional district health officer. The latter was high in his praise Of the project.
 We think the job should be has tened along as quickly as possible. Competed refuse, including old engine blocks, steel wire car parts, and such, should be dump ed. Fill it up and hasten to anoth- CT site.
 In the future gone will be the sea gulls, the unsightly dump, and in their place playground.
