only hot spot on the globe
now.
What has been cold poll
teal battle for Congress is
warming up and threatens to
be quite a conflagration be-
fore the June 5th' Democra-
tic Primary when Congress
men Frank Smith and Jamie
Written collide.
AS all of our readers know,
the editor of this newspaper
yer seeks. to influence their
vote for. any political office
whether local, county, state,
or national. This has always
been our policy and we do
not plan to change it - ever.
So we were a little surprised
land quite flattered) that
Congressman Jamie Written
saw fit to give us some atten-
ton within the past w e e k
saying this editor approves"
Frank Smiths policies and
does not approve" his whit
ten's) policies. eve didn't
even know Written had poll
cies.)
If jamie Written can't
figure out a better way than
that to get votes he might as
well withdraw right now =
because all of our friends and
foes know we never try to in
fluence their vote.
But does Jamie really
think that some people would
vote FOR HIM because
HAZEL SMITH is AGAINST
HIM = that is, if we were
against him?
If so, he must have a pretty
low opinion of the intelli-
gence of Holmes County peo-
pie - for only an idiot would
vote for a person just be
cause someone else was a.
gainst him = and idiots are
not allowed to vote in Mis-

"If the boys and girls of
your county have the. ability

it that they get a two-year

told the officials.
HJC has only Scratched
the surface" in the service it

"By expanding and having
the necessary funds to carry

take care of anything needed

asserted.

BY Hazel Brannon Smith

A s.rong United States pre-
pared and willing to defend
itself and human freedom
everywhere is the principal
hope for a peaceful world.
Personally, we feel it is the
lnly hope of the world.
We must not be reckless
Or foolish. We must proceed
with caution as indeed we
nave. But we must be willing
to fight, if necessary. And we
must convince the commu-
nists that we can and are
willing to fight.
Strength or force is tn
only thing the communists
respect = and we must COM
mand their respect. Other
wise they will walk all over
us and the entire fr e e
world.
President Kennedy h as
shown commenable caution
in his dealings with the COM
munists and been roundly
criticized for it. But h is
we'll aware what another war
would mean to America and
the world and he will do
everything possible in an
honorable way to try to pre-
vent it. This is not appease-
ment as claimed by his ire
sponsible critics, only COM
mon sense.
Let us hope the trouble in
Laos can be settled around
the conference table and at
once = for little wars grow
into big ones.
But the invited buildup of
