we will not publish unsigned let
tiers TO the editor. We again EN-
phasize this policy and advisH
anyone writing and sending I'M
signed letters 10 this office that
they are only wasting their time.
Any letter we publish mus.
be signed and delivered TO us
personally. We will accept let
tiers from readers and subscrib-
ers who live a distance from
Browning whom we know 20 be
responsible.
One OF the few talents we have
managed TO master is recog IL
ton of personal writings or con-
versstion. We do not necessarily
have 10 talk with or see the per-
son to recognize them through
their conversation or correspon-
dence. once we have had SINH

is not ONLY unethicsl. but in poor
taste.
We firnllv believe that is any
one has the courage or need to
sDe7k out on any subject. thay
should have the accompanying
courage 70 sign their own name.
We will print letters with the
letters name withheld. IL they 81
request. but we maintain thr
privilege 10 reveal the name IL we
are asked 10 do by our readers.
This. of course, does not guar
sntee that all signed letters will
be printed. We will not print
personal, argumentive letters,
the purpose Of which we consid-
er could better be accomplished
between the individuals or
groups involved.
We always like to see several
candidates for every office. Not

but we hold to the opinion that
the more candidates for office.
the better chance the voter has
20 choose the better qualified
man. We often find that the best
qualified person will not file,
so the situation leaves a relative
ly poor and unqualified field
from which 70 choose.
In this day and age we find
practically every member Of the
presidents cabinet qualifying
themselves as good will diplo-

We are clad 10 learn that Fidel
Cassro's government has been

is as Il should be.
Apparently the GAS Is a bust
ness organization. and strong po-
litical play has not yet entered
the picture .. Quite a different
picture from that of the United
Nations.
In the action taken last week
i4 nations voted 90 drop Cuba's
membership because Castro was
not compatible with the aims Of
the GAS. Next step. and one al
