are now turning on him. To Nixon
and some Of Kennedys rivals In
the Democratic primaries these,
too, may be moments Of amuse-
ment.
There is no doubt the Kennedy
boys played rough-too rough
and now their enemies feel they
are getting 1t back in spades.
But, 1t seems to me, these times
are too grave for that kind Of pet
ty satisfaction. The rest Of us had
no part in the politicians squab-
bles or conflict Of ambitions. We
cannot afford the luxury Of small
time politics.
The President, 1t must be ack-
nowledged, has not yet summoned
the public in q way that would
bring out the best in this country.
But that does not absolve the rest
of US.
James Reston once called to task
those editorialists who persisted in
picturing Dwight d. Eisenhower as
something just one cut above a
grinning idiot. Like him or not,
fellows, Reston said in effect, he
Is our President for the next four
years.
Those remarks by Reston were
addressed to the Democrats. The
same comments might be address
sed to those who now gloat that

the times.
For those who do not like the
gamble the President took In visit
Ing Byrd, or sanctioning the at
tack on Castro, or whatever else
he Is doing the best advice Is:
Come up with your own proposals. |
That's what Sen. Joe Clark Of
Pennsylvania and Rep. Emanuel
Celler Of New York are doing on

been more puzzling. Why did the

School, Belhaven, will be held on

tered their children. Those who
have not filled out pre-registra-
ton blank should secure one from
the school, fill it out and return it.
Plans for the clinic are different
this year and each person will be

led by parent, not any other rel
ative. If the parent is not present
the child will not be processed and
his registration will be delayed. No
child will be allowed to ride the
school bus to the clinic.
If a child planning to enter the
first grade has not had the small
pox vaccination and completed all
dirhtheria shots, including boosters,
and polio shots, the parent is re-
quested to take him to the county
health department or to the family
physician for this service.
