here IL is.
After a couple of weeks alb

er Anyway. this past two or three
weeks has caused me TO realize
what a one man band" feels like
after a strenuous engagement
what with the increased activity
of my ulcer, nerves. temper. and
the political pressure.
Well, this one Is over and We
are all thankful The let-down
may be too much and we will be
fighting the urge TO get bottle
of gallo and join the boys mex:

whOOp-up
After looking at the election
returns, though. we can consider
ourselves lucky We still have
the same old job, and the same
old problems. That's one advan
tage when you buy a small week
ly shop. you just can't get a
promotion, so you don't feel that
you're ''bucking" when you sweep
the floor or clean out the back
room occasionally.
So you see, we may still be q
lot better off than a lot of poll
ticians we still have a job
regardless of the outcome of the
elections.
We didn't get hurt in the elee
ton. other than being disappoint
ed in the outcome of the presi-
Dental contest Could have los,
a bet on the presidential election
if we had been able TO find a
taker. but as il turned out we
bought a cup of coffee for the
guy who refused to take our bet.
This is an election that will be
talked about for years to come
and a lot Of comparisons will be
made with this one. II was so
close that they will be revamp-
ing the final figures for a week
TO come on the national tally.
On the state side we are very
satisfied, particularly in having
a team in the offices OF governor
and Ii Governor whom we feel
sure will work together and get
things done. At least while Mr..
Nutter is locking up the chick
ems he can feel sure that Tim
won't be turning the geese loose.

We simply couldn't pass up this
opportunity TO wish our very
good friend. Chief Theodore Last
Star. Happy Hunting" Theodore

come us when we purchased The
Glacier Reporter, and he has
since given US the same warm
greeting whenever we met He
occasionally asked our advice on
things he was not just sure of or
that were new to him. We learn
ed a great deal from him In
our book il is recorded, Chief
Theodore Last Star. good and
honorable friend" Most cOlorful
and distinguished personality, 3
great credit to his tribe. Respec

man" May your trip over Going
to-the Sun Trail be pleasant and
many buffalo at the end.
We had intended last week to
give Tiff Mckay a little sendoff
at the time his new column was
initiated. but didn't get to that
either. We hope our readers rea
lie by now that Tiff Is a good
thinker and equally as good with
the typewriter. We consider his
column a breath of fresh air
in The Glacier Reporter report
ings-
We have given Tiff a free hand
TO express his opinions as he
desires, and while those opinions
may not be a reflection of our
own. we certainly welcome his
contributions for the diversified
ton they present He invites com
ments and we sincerely hone our
readers will make mention OF
their appreciation occasionally.
as
suppose some people would
say that things are already pick
ing UP. generally speaking. since
the presidential election. We just
might be inclined to 60 along
with that considering that a gent
