a MINUTE
WITH MI

We have said IL before in this
column. ard We say il again. all
Of this cease fire talk and al
tempis in Lsos is just about as
foolish and useless as asking .
witch doctor 10 turn off the
northern lights.
II Is certainly difficult 70 un-
derstand why truce commissions
are taken in time and again on
this old communist trick. While
the so-caIled truce talks are going
on. 50 are the communiss. an|
they are getting closer to their
objective by the hour.
What thinking. in common
sense. would bring the interna-
tiOnal peace experts TO the con-
clusi0n that the communists a.
going 10 give up one inch Of the
ground they have already cap
turzd. and retreat qui.sly back
across the border TO their own
Co1fires. or effect a cease fire
until they have gotten what they
are after?
The cease fire talks have bee~
going on now for over two weeks
When they reach a point % where
the commission thinks they are
in agreement, the commies come
up with an excuse that they have
not been delegated the power
TO 60 any further in the talks 8.
This, of course, will 60 on day
after day. week after week, until
the communists have completely
taken over the country and we
can sit back scratching our heads
in bewilderment, wondering why
and how il all happened.
II wouldn't surprise me at all
If the communist peace delega-
ton was able TO brainwash the
free world representatives dur
ing the talks and line them up
on their sidei
And while were speaking of
what goes on around the world,
have you noticed Castro's latest
communist-flavored caper7
With full knowledge that the
United States and Canada have
only the strongest and most com
patable relations, but that there
is a difference in opinion as TO
the two countries selling to com
munist countries, Castro has
made the point exceptionally
clear that he is personally super
vising the safety and welfare of
Canadian missionaries and
priests stationed in Cuba be
cause Canada is sympathetic 10
his cause and has spoken out
against the U. S. policy towards
Cuba.
This is further evidence that
the communists aim is 10 cause
unrest and differences of opin-
ion in international affairs, and
that Castro is working nights in
an effort TO cause a rift in our
traditionally friendly relations
with Canada.
The annual high school prom
is coming up Saturday night and
most Of US in the community look
forward TO IL as a highlight in
social activities.
There is a word Of warning that
should be sounded, and observed.
II has nothing 10 do with the
sponsors Of the prom or the
school. but there are always
few teen-agers who choose this
occasion to cap adultship. so &c
speak, by flashing a bottle and
cutting loose with the family car.
They Just can't wait TO grow
up and prove their abilities !.
which on occasions has landed
them in the city Jail.
Both the tribal and city police
have orders TO pick up any and
all Of these actors and lodge them
in the jail where they will have
TO be redeemed by their parents
This order goes for reckless driv-
ing. speeding. or having beer or
alcoholic beverages in the car or
on their person.
II might be q worthwhile sug
gestion If parents would remind
their youngsters that IL is pretty
embarrassing 10 have 10 appear
before the court and explain
their offspring's actions. and
point out 20 them the fallacy
and danger Of growing up too
fast. II might even save their
life
Those responsible for the i'm
provement of the city park are
deserving OF a big vote OF thanks.
The Ieveling CT the ground, grub
birg cut Of old trees and plant
ing % new ones has turned an
eyascre into what can be an At
tractive part OF the town.
