broadening the knowledge of
German music in this coun-
try, the Ambassador said
music in our troubled times
is a very important means of
promoting understanding be-
tween nations.
Than he quoted from
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night;
If music be the food of love
play on" But he said, he
would like to change one
word to make it read: IF
music be the food for un-
derstanding-play on"
In reply DR.. Mitchell with
the red and white ribbon
and red and white enamel
cross around his neck, noted
what a distinction it was to
be recognized by Germany, a
country that has given as
much to music as any ma
ton and perhaps as much as
all nations combined"

counted upon to launch the

The party this year will be
for some young houseguests
Of the Yturraldes and for the
young members of the En-

visitors will be Isabel Ytur-

HERALD GROWS AS
COUNTY ADVANCES
Can EDITORIAL

The Herald is planning to go big time in the near tut
ure. Our program of expansion, begun some SIX months
ago, will enable us to produce the biggest and best weekly
newspaper the citizens of Holmes County have ever had
AT times. during the past few months it has taken a round
the-clock' schedule and sacrifices by many to publish the
peoples newspaper each week, but now our goal is IN
sight.
In order to provide a first class newspaper 1t "S nc
essarx, to install almost all completely new equipment Id
our plant. MANY newspapers would have completely
stopped all operations during these trying times, but 1t was
our thinking that the Herald could best serve the puOhc oy
continuing to publish each week.
We have stated editorially that HoImeS County was po-
tentialIv a great trade center. The Herald always has and
always will advocate an aggressive, positive policy In helping
to build a better Holmes County.
We think, for instance, that a countrywide Chamber OF
Commerce organization would be invaluable in helping pro-
mote potential economic growth. We believe that such a
united approach to the matter would be the most beneficial.
The Herald feels fortunate to have a stake in the fut-
IRE of Holmes County. We hope that our expansion and
future growth can match the other advancementS in our
area.
We think it is safe to say that the citizens of our county
are as fine as any that reside anywhere. In addition, our
nOmic progress, are of the best sort. Because of this. Holmes
County has enjoyed progress and growth. But, we have an
obligation 20 attempt to achieve more and greater accom-
pIshments. The future looks bright. Let's make the most of
it.

Sept. 28-East European dele

away from its demand that the
late Secretary General Dag

a collective leadership giving
Moscow a veto.
The Soviet Union was re-

to replace the secretary gen.
eral.
Under the newly reported
formula, Latin American

be taken by agreement" but
there would be no veto. Just
how this would work was still
undetermined.
According to one report,

the idea with Soviet Deputy

Some Soviet sources here

To most Syrians, the unity"

a steady advance of Egyptian

The key geographical fact
about Egypt and Syria is that,
despite their political ties, they
are separate nations and had
