er and hole up within the con
fines of nv own back yard.
We thought il would be nice to
take a zip-trip back 10 North Da
kOta this year, meet old friends
and partake of their turkey. All
me, what a mistake . II wasn't
the turkey or anything else we
could rightly put our finger on
but three Of US went under the
weather. so TO speak, for a couple
of days, and the trip home was a
nightmare full of 20 below wea,

tatiOns What a relief to get
back on the job -4

sideratiOn, we should be thank.
full at that thankful that we
all got home in no worse shape
than we were. and that nothing
else went wrong even though

been.

We rather like the way Cover
nor-elect Don Nutter is going
at things, preparatory to his tax
ing over the head of state He
apparently means business and
knows how TO 60 about putting
the machinery into action.
We like the way he is going
about his new job. and we like
the schedule he has planned, par
ticuiarly that part which calls for
an attempt 10 cut unnecessary
spending. shifting the additional
tax load onto expanding and
growing enterprises, revamping
the state withholding setup, and,
eliminating several useless and
unnecessary bureaus and blood
sucking departments. Il wasn't
just making campaign speeches"
Nutter announced recently. Il
meant every word I said"
Yes, we believe Nutter is a
man who will really get things
done if the capitol city and
legislative leaders will forget
party differences and work with
him for the betterment of the
state as a whole.

On the national level we find
PreSident-elect Jack Kennedy lay
ing his plans just as industrious
ly and with equally as much
promise. We particularly like the
cut cost. get out bureaucrats and
teaches. and pentagon reOrgsni-
zation phase of his program Il
will not be a mentioning Presi-
dent" Jack says . and we hope
he means il.
OF course we aren't too young,
or too old, TO remember promises
made by several predecessors to
the golden throne. We recall the
24hour poker parties on the pres
idential yacht that used to cruise
the Potomas for weeks: the week
end Caribbean cruises on the
famous battleship Missouri, and
many others, so actually golf was
a relatively tame and less ex-
pensive hobby now what,
Jack?
/ got quite a chuckle the other
day when one coffeecup political
expert made the statement that
the Eisenhower administration
would 60 down in history as the
most corrupt ever I'll bet
FD-R. got a couple of chuckles
too
Well. like in all other cases
We will wait and see.
A look around the stores bright
ems the eyes of the youngsters
and causes parents to shudder
lust a little. Yes, Christmas Is
near .. and the price will be
dear.
It's getting so We olders don't
dare TO monkey around or ex-
anime the new brand OF toys now
being displayed, unless Of course,
we have been keeping up with
Junior and his ten cent scientific
classics
/ Just happened 10 be hanging
around one of the toy displays,
waiting to beg the manager for
an ad. when a father walked up
and twisted a couple of buttons
on a space rocket Bang, the
thing let loose with a couple OF
explosions and a couple Of small
er parts tore loose and hit the
ceiling. His young son let out
a whoop Of delight, then began
70 wall as the old man grabbed
him BY the arm and made a quick
exit out of the side door, mum
bling about the place being BOBBY
trapped and Santa now a commu-
mist agent for the Russians.
Advice to parents: Let Junior
explain the operation before you
attempt to show him how 1t
works.
