Everyone enjoyed the program.

In other words, the Park Lanes
are tops!

This Is Fit and Spasm Time"
as grandpa used TO say. That Is

into action all over the nation.
throwing fits at what the opposi-
ton is doing or has done, and
going into spasms of promises
about what they are going to
do for the good of the public, the
taxpayer. and the rest Of the
human race.
We find the Democrats using
the phrase. present administra-
ton" in pointing out the faults
and booboos for which someone
must be blamed. In our humble
estimation this Is about the worst
phrase they could use. consid-
ering the fact that this is, and
has been for the past 20 years,
a Democratic administration. The
fact that the nation has a Repub-
lican President, or that the state
has a Republican Governor. does
not change the fact that both
legislative houses have been
Democrat controlled. so it's sort
of like talking to ones self while
looking in a mirror L. After all,
IL Is congress and the state legis-
lature that passes the bills and
tags the appropriations bills and
requests So that brings us
10 the conclusion that If a Demo
goes around spouting off what a
hell of a mess the administration
has gotten the country into. and
that we shouldn't vote for them
again well. we have no al
Tentative but TO vote for the
other party
But we aren't choosing sides,
not until we 60 TO the polls at
least. We always try TO look at
both sides of the picture. and
we can usually find some OF the
Republicans running around max
ing equally as senseless state
ments. Yes, we find a great many
higher-up COPS who can't even
tell you where the 1859 Presiden-
tiaI convention was held!
It's interesting; you ought to
try IL sometime. Just ask some
wheel from either party where
the 1859 presidential convention
was held. and well give you odds
that IL ne hasn't already read this
he will scratch the hollow spot
on his head and answer that, BY
goIly, / Just don't remember whe-
Their il was Chicago or Philly."
Matter of fact. we never did
find out where either convention
was held that year,
Well. between Castro. Nikita,
Lamumba, Kasongao. the Repub-
Iicans, the Democrats and the
approaching Miss America con-
test, the news Is becoming real
interesting. OF course, We should
explain that we don't put them
all in the same class, but, one
can find all of them mentioned
on the front page of any daily
they may pick up.
Actually, it's harder TO find out
what goes on in your neighbor's
back yard. at the city or tribal
council meetings than IL is in
the deep dark interior of Africa q.
Maybe that's as IL should be.
IL we knew what our neighbor
was doing we might come up
with a black eye or broken nose.
IL we knew what the leading
fathers" were doing. we might
start q small-scale revolution q.
And again we quote grandpa:
IF spent all day watching
what grandma does when we 60

turn out TO be a bachelor"
