teal social functions or so much club
rot?
The point is the individualism often
brings us great gains and the individ-
unlists of our country have pioneered
more success and progress than the
conformists. For the conformist, bas-
ically, is either afraid to go his own
way or lacks the imaginatio or in
tellgence which allows him to dare to
be different
Next time, therefore, you feel the
urge to make sarcastic remark about
someone who dares to be different, or
who refuses to conform to your notions
about life and how to live it, think twice
about it. And next time you hear a
novel opinion, or an unusual one, pre-
sented sincerely, think twice before
you brush it Off For the individual who
dares to be different, who refuses to
conform to much of the pattern fast
being established in American life, and
who thinks for himself is an asset in our
society and he is following the great
American tradition.

West recognize the present
boundries between Germany and
Poland as final.
Secretary of State Rusk has
suggested that we would negoti-
ate with the Russians on the
Berlin dispute. But we will ne
gotiate on the question and de-
tails of handling our access
rights, it Is said, and not on the
right of our troops to be in West
Berlin. That is not a matter for
negotiation in Washington's eyes.
The final solution may be
some kind of working arrange
ment with East Germany-aS
distasteful as that will be for
Americans. If Khrushchev gets
some kind of unofficial recogni-
ton of East Germany he will
have gained something in the
long-term Russian effort to have
East German and Polish bound
aries, and these governments,
acknowledged by the West.

Politicians Use Party Platforms

airy of American Politics.:
"A statement of principles and
of policies to be followed concern
ing a great number of public
questions, adopted by a party
convention as a basis for the
party's appeal for public support.
Platforms nearly always result
from compromises among con
flicting sectional and economic
interests, and contain many
weasel words which suck the
lifeblood from apparently binding
pledges. They are regarded as of
less importance than candidate S
campaign statements.
That last statement of def
milton can be questioned this
year. in the light of the attention
given and commitments made to
platforms at both national con-
ventions. But, even so. the fact
remains that the platform does
stand as "a statement of princi-
pies and policies" for a given
party. And platforms take on in
creased meaning when policies
outweigh personalities. as they
do this year.
Like other propaganda docu-
ments. a platform stresses words,
phrases, and slogans of proven
political effectiveness. All the
old, familiar propaganda devices
are woven into the semantic pat
tern. Promises are phrased in
glittering genera]itles. Guilt by
association is employed in a
double-barrelled role - linking
the opposition with unpopular
causes, events, or personalities,
while seeking to build prestige
for the preferred party through
Identification with popular fig
ures.
Motives Of the opposition are

Be Yourself

ONE of the most disturbing develop
" ments in American life is the ever-in-
creasing trend toward conformity Too
often these days person is held sus-
pect if he dares to do things differently.
Whether it be that he refuses to con-
form to generally accepted society
patterns, or holds unusual views on
religion, or has individualistic Opin-
ions in politics, or any of number of
other things, the person among us who
dares to be different is risking the rid
icule, and even scorn of too many.
Of course, there are certain limits of
good taste and behavior and judg-
ment which must be observed But be-
yond that individualism is good thing
In fact, it is what made the United
States the most productive and fastest
growing country in the world, economi-
cally.
The trend toward conformity is wor-
rying some of the wisest of our coun-
try's citizens. There never has been any
merit in absolute conformity, and yet,
with television and other mediums now
tending to "standardize" all Of us, to an
extent, the person who refuses to fit
himself into the mold is sometimes
abused.
Why should the intelligent person,
for instance, be considered odd if he
can't stomach the hours on end of the
stupid westerns on television, or the
moronic commercials? Why should he
dress exactly like John Doe? Why
should he be considered odd if he dosnt

plishment is denied the adver-
sary. Historical facts are dis
torted, arranged, or omitted, in
order to put the party In a good
light and the rival in a bad light.
In short, the platform pulls to-

News Report
From
Washington

WASHINGTON. c. c. ~ The
Juror raised by the declaration
in Iraq that the little oil-rich
country of Kuwait would be an
nexed was justifiable through aft
err the landing of British troops
in Kuwait the action Of the U.
NJ. and others, was largely a
show.
The United Nations, true to
its form. postponed a meeting
on the weekend Of the crisis to
meet on the following Monday,
rejecting the cognizance of U.
N. leaders that what was to be
done in Kuwait would be done
despite the o. N.
The British. who are trying to
give Kuwait freedom, did not
take to the suggestion in Iraq
government circles that Iraq
could take over the oil-rich
country which the British have
so long protected and advised.
Thus the quick arrival of Brit
ish troops-and the tough Brit
ish stand. that they would pro-
tect Kuwait, as requested by the
government of Kuwait. The sur
prise is that IraQ's action was
not taken after some attempt to
overthrow the government of Ku-
wait-to make it appear as
though the new government had
requested Iraqi help. The clum-
siness of the Iraqi bid, then,
makes it likely that the COM
munist are not behind the move,
or in control of the government
of Iraq.
Berlin
The Berlin crisis is really a
crisis over the final borders on
Germany and the finality of any
settlement Of the German Ques-
ton. The Russians are still high
ly sensitive on the possibility
that a reunited Germany will

toration Of the old German bor-
der.
The Russians grabbed much
German territory after World
War II. and gave it to Poland in
return for much Polish terri
tory stolen by the Russians. The
Germans never will accept this
solution. obviously. The question
is only whether the Germans
will ever fight over it.
If Germany is reunited, the
chances of the issue arising are
probably greater than they are
as long as Germany is divided
That is why the cardinal point
Of Russian foreign policy in re-
cent years has been to continue
the division of Germany.
Now Nikita Khrushchev wants
to force the West to recognize

A "Check- Up Not A "Post Mortem"

Byrd issued a public statement in sup
port of Prince Edward County officials.
This may have cost the Senator some
thing in political support from some
areas, but he grasped the principles in
volved and has been source Of
tremendous support for the people OF
Prince Edward.
AS Lt-Governor for the past three
terms, as a "Byrd-Man'', Stephens d.
vorced himself from the Byrd organiza-

his former associates in manner that
only professional politicians can do.
Stephens made the Byrd organization
and Prince Edward County vital issues
in his campaign.
Those who wish to see this area pro-
gress, may thank their guiding stars
that Stephens was defeated, and rather
soundly at that.
Since winning the Democratic primary
is almost tantamount to winning the

to stable, friendly regime in the Gov

A post norton is a detailed eXamlna-
IA ton of something dead, to deter
mine the cause Of death. Fortunately
this is not a post norton, but regular
check-up. The difference in Technology
is obvious The Byrd reorganization" is
not dead, but just had a thorough
"check-up" on Tuesday.
1t is somewhat ironical that A. E. S.
Stephens, the defeated candidate in the
Democratic primary, should have pub
lized the idea of a not-sO dead Byrd
organization. While staunch support
er of the Byrd principles, Stephens re-
torted holly to Ralph McGill in 1859:
eff as you state the Byrd organization
in Virginia is dead, you probably would
be surprised to know that it is the live
Hest and most influential cadaver known
to man ;" Undoubtedly Stephens
would add a chagrined amen" to
that statement today.
The reason for Senator Byrd's success
eludes many people. 1t is not his dyna-
mic personality, nor any ability to
make powerful speeches (like Governor
Almond) Certainly it is neither of
these attributes, because Senator Byrd
does not posses or use these weapons.
His entire strength lies in his 'princi-
Pies. Simply expressed, he believes in
conservative government. This simple
philosophy has been the guiding star
for Virginia for the past 80 odd years.
The majority of Virginia voters agree
with these unchanging principles and
therein lies the success of the "lively
cadaver".
Mr. Byrd himself did not take to the
stump to support candidate in this
election. However early in the cam
paign, he chose to "give his blessing" to
Albertis S. Harrison. Once the vener-
able senator made up his mind, he did
not swerve in his allegiance. That is an
other trait of the senior Virginia sena-
tor. He may wait long time to make
up his mind, but once he is satisfied that
the principles involved are clearly de-
fined, he makes his choice and speaks
with unequivocal clarity
The people of Prince Edward County
know first hand that this is true The
people of Prince Edward made their
position known on the school question
in 1854. Senator Byrd did not rally to
either side on the spur of the moment.

ton for longer than a year, Senator

Horns in the trophy class were brought back by Bob Schmidt, who lives off kalifonsky Beach Road near Soldatna, following a hunt in which he and his com panions all got their Dahl sheep on opening day in the Tustemena Lake area.
 The full curl and quarter horns measured approximately ITO points by Boone and Crockett standards. The ram was 3 big one and judging from rings OH his hons was nine years old.
 Other local hunters have been equally successful in securing sheep, goat and moose. The sea sons overlapping as they do this year have put hunters in the fieia en masse.
