Editors Note: The following
editorial was run in the Gal =
lup Daily Independent on Mon
day. 1t is reprinted here with
our congratulated to the
writer as we have regretted
the unfair and i'll considered
condemnation of the majority
of the people of Dallas. Texas,
for faults of the few.
Column st Drew Pear sons
statement that the City of Dallas
is now the Hate Capital of the
u. S. A. because President Ken
nedy was assassinated there will
not stand close inspection.
This is trite express sion and,
as most trite phrases go, it does
not present true picture.
Pearson seems to be, in some
vague way, trying to lay the blame
for the aSSaSSinati on the So
called fright wing" political ele-
mem despite the fact that the &C
cuSed assassin came from the
opposite end of the political spec
truH.
1t is true that Dallas has plen-
~ of so-called right wingers'
and some of them are probably
members of the right wing" John
Birch Society.
The Colummst's designation
was the result probably, not only
of the President S assassination,
but OF two other Incidents which
happened earlier.
The first came during the pres
idential campaign of 1860 when
Lyndon Johnson and Ladybird were
Spat upon out side doWnt own hotel.
The second came just a few
weeks ago when Anbas sador Ad-
lai Stevenson was spat upon and
assaulted with q chair outside the
downtown Memorial Auditorium,
where he had made a speech.
These were diSgracGful spec
tacles which led up TO the great
tragedy--the assassinati OF the
President Of the United States.
But they were the work of a
minority individual extremists,
and these incidents were con-
demned by the vast majority of
the people of Dallas.
They could have happened any
where, as President Kennedy's
as5as sinati on could have happened
in any other American city. 1t is
unfortunate for the City of Dallas,
and the State of Texas, that they
happened where they did.
But it seems that Pearson and
some other writer's and commen-
rators, some who profess to be
the most tolerant and liberal
minded, are doing a disservice to
the country by ca astigating an entire
city and an entire state for the

ant, or hotel and my wife wanted
to get a souvenir demi-tasse spoon
from there. She informed me that
some portion of the building was
closed, evidently the gift counter.
She obtained Navajo spoon in
Shiprock, but Thought perhaps
there was one for sale at Window
Rock depicting Window Rock on
the handle Of the spoon. Is there
one such as that available? One
that states "Wn1doW Rock" or

HI again golfers! I went to the
Swami and he informed me that
scores are getting much better,
and from all indications we might
keep at this game for another sea-
son!! For a few weeks there 1t
looked like some Of us were going
back to bowling or some easier
hobby.
This past Sunday was the scene
Of many booming woods and crisp
irons as the six golf teams of
T.C.G.A. met in the first Of a SER
les Of matches. The day was per-
feet. Bright with just a little tang
in the air and there was that COM
petitive spirit in everyone as they
teed off. I even know Of one cap
tain who was driven to the course
in a long gray sedan and hobbled
out on crutches to see his team
off. I call that real spirit. I'm sure
Captain Manderville would have
played If the cast hadn't been so
heavy. His team made a very cred
liable showing however, and gave
my team quite a battle. We won't
really know the outcome until
next week when the scores are fig
ured according to each players
handicap!
was pleasantly surprised by
the steady play Of Beasley and
down the middle" Crowder who
played well considering he was
called at the last minute to take
Manderville's place. We certainly
hope his broken toe heals in a few
weeks. OF course, the old pro"
Clyde Johnson was acting Captain
and shot his usual good short game
to keep in contention.
"St. Paul. Carter and I, had a
little hook trouble but during our
straying, Sweet Shot" Ewing and
1.-Two wood" Reese took care of
pars and birdie or two. T.C.G.A.
played a four man team Of Cook,
McKinnis, Turner and Carter in
the Classic City League and
understand big Shot" McKinnis
was close on Gene Hansen for their
match. Hansen Is Minnesota's
State and Public Champion and a
great sportsman, among other golf
ing attributes. The next Classic
match is at Eden Prarie next Sat
urday and here's wishing you luck
Golfers.
We had well attended meeting
last night Sunday and club
jackets were given to every men,
Der. Caps are forthcoming. Real
classy, and one thing Is certain,
some Of US don't always play the
best game of golf, but We'll be
the sharpest models" in town
pops.
AS Of now, the list Is not COM
plete but next week and there
after, I will keep you posted on
brides and eagles plus anyone who
gets the highest bogey on a hole.
So, until next week, keep that
left arm extended, hug that right
side, sit back on those heels, rotate
those hips, keep your head down
and II you remember all OF
these things, head for the nearest
dance hall and grab a partner.
