News last week was an interest
ing and amusing story about
barmaid who turned out TO bt
a bartender. He name, Herbert
c. Upton; She name. Gayle Starr
Miss Starr Is most attractiv:
in her female attire, but not 81
attractive with whiskers. and be
draggled hairdO. As Miss Starr
most any man would feel happy
10 have her latched onto his arm
but as Mr.. Upton, well one
would wonder!
The story is that there Is con
siderable kidding and embarrass
ment. among the younger blood
in and around Essex, now that
the true identity Of the so-called
barmaid has been revealed.
The advertisements say about
their products. mo one can tel
the difference" Must be so
Now that President Kennedy
has taken office the Communists
are giving praise and singing
overtures of peace from every
corner of the globe.
Let US not be taken in by any
new offers of peace. We are GER
tain that the new president won't
be. and that he realizes the Com
munists are only tossing old bait
at a new potential Ever since
the end of the war, the Commu,
nis;s have had every opportunity
TO become a partner in world
peace, but have walked out on
every proposal, including some
of their own after the western
block decided TO give il a try on
their own terms.
The bearded bud of Commu.
nism in Cuba is all smiles and
running forward with extended
arms and a proposal that Ameri'
ca and Cuba strike up a new
romance Let us forget all
that has happened in the past
and make a new start" says
Castro.
This is a compromising gesture
now that he may have come TO
the realization that there is Lit,
tie left in his country that he
can nationalize tsteal. is the prop
er world excepting our huge
naval base, which. despite all OF
his Dragging. he hasn't the forti-
tude 10 attack. In other words,
his rebel government has stolen
hundreds of millions of dollars
worth Of American industry. and
now he extends his bloody hand
in a false gesture of peace. and
asks us to forget.
There are also a couple OF
other reasons why The Beard
would like to have US forget .
Our economic blockade is work
ing and IL has thrown many
thousands Of his people out of
employment and is causing their
stomachs to rebel equally as VIC
lently as the mention of CaStro's
name has because Of lack of food.
Then too, the plush sea shore
hotels that once enjoyed a lucra-
tive American tourist trade are
now empty and closing their
doors.
Mr.. Castro has many things 10
account for TO our government,
and TO his own people. before
diplomatic relations should again
be established the main
clause. abdication by Castro and
his gang. and the return of ma
tionalized American interests To
their rightful owners.
Russia's Mr.. K. is also making
top publicity Of a new try for
peace with the western world
A resumption OF summit meet
ings. disarmament and an ex'
change of scientific information,
all being sung in high c, are his
proposals.
We have always left the door
open TO friendly relations with
every country. Mr.. Kennedy has
stated, and rightly so. but from
all indications the new presi
dent will not be taken in by this
false melody. and it will take
more than a song and Krushchey
10 change his mind. We have
listened 10 the Communists song
of peace for years, while on the
other side of the page they are
writing our obituary as a free
nation Are we supposed 70
LET our guard down under these
