new business establishments last
week were highly successful. so
We have been told. We. too. join
with the community in expressing
our congratulations to these bust
ness place who have enough
faith in the future TO warrant ex.
pansion and new buildings.
Right along with the improve
mcnts and remod.Iing that has
been going on this past year. VIC
note several old and unsig,lily
shacks moved onto vacant lets.
This, Of course, is not in keepi7g
with the improvements we are 50
proud OF.
II is our opinion that the tow
Of Browning should adopt, and
enforce, a strict building ard
housing code. Nearly every tow
the size of Browning. and much
smaller. have such a code. ard
by enforcing IL. are able TO keep
their towns respectable looking
II Just doesn't make good sense
10 build up a town in one respect.
then permit IL 10 become ugly in
others. We certainly are in sym
psthy with our fellow citizens who
do not have the means 10 provide
themselves with a home Of aver
age convenience and appearance.
but we certainly will never be
able 10 attract industry and other
interests 10 our community I'M
less we do our very best 10 make
IL attractive.
We would certainly favor a
building code. and will lend every
possible assistance TO initiate one.
II would appear that the Com
munists are as busy promoting
shams all over the globe in an
effort TO distract our vigilance
while they effect their desired
build-ups. where and as planned.
We have often mentioned that
il was our opinion that the Berlin
situation was a cover-up for the
Cuban and far eastern build-ups.
and from all appearances we
were correct
We do not mean 10 belittle the
Berlin fissco. remembering that
all too often a sham battle has
turned into the real thing or got
ten out Of hand 10 a point where
the whole world became involved.
However, we do attach great i'm
portance 10 influx of Soviet tech
nicians and recent shipments Of
military equipment TO Castro
Il has been said many times.
ard We would like 10 saw IL again:
IL we stand by and permit this
sort Of thing TO 60 on. we may as
well scrap the Monroe Doctrine
and invite the Communists To-
settle on our own shores.
We are always told by those
supposed 20 be in the know that
We shouldn't worry because our
government k ows every move
the other side Is making :.
Somehow. we still remember

It's about time our government
nd intelligence departments
stopped playing patsy and got
down 10 real business. II they
are 10 protect us, then let them
do IL. As il now stands the once
western. western hemisphere is
becoming more eastern every
day.
We were handed an editorial
the other day which We should
have liked 10 have reprinted this
week. but lack Of time does not
permit. Anyway the gist Of IL
pertains 10 the clamOring by GER
tain individuals about the cost
OF Governor Bsbcock's new plane.
Go tell IL 70 Kennedy" the edi-
tOrial remarks.
The United States Air
Force is providing the President
with a new jet sirliner at a cost
Of 50 millions.
The ordinary commercial
let OF this type cost about SIS
million less than the Kennedy
plane. but that would not be
good enough for the President
He gets not only the best.
but much better than the best
Extra fancy fittings and
luxurious Injuries make up the
balance Of the cost practical

other than 10 satisfy the Presi-

So, Tim. don't feel too badly.
