No uIt can uElN lIldl lulS
years Indian Days parade wasn't
the largest and best since it's in
CeptiOn- There were more floats,
more riders. and certainly more
outstanding bands and marching
units
We. personally. heard many
fine compliments from visitors.
and ! had one tourist ask me
how a town the size Of Brown
ing could muster such an out
standing parade ! simply told
him that this town was a nat
tural" and that the committees
had worked tirelesSly
| don't believe that there were
as many lodges on the camp
ground as last year. although
there were more tents Last
year We counted an even IS lOd-
ges. whereas this year there
were So.
Some of the Oldtimers. inClud-
ing myself. were disappointed to
see the carnival atmosphere that
was prevalent this year In per
mI;tIng this situation TO expand,
Il seems 10 me that We are losing
the real spirit and traditional
value of the encampment in go
ing modern. However. this is a
problem for the encampment
committee.
Il would appear that the Rus,
slams ard the Chinese aren't as
closely related in sole and pUr-
pose as they Cnce thought We
have often mentioned that Rus
sla may have spawned a real
problem child. and ii now ap-
pears that this is just what has
happened
We will predict that MIR X
will be more smiling and more
cordial than previously when he
Is dealing with US in the near
future. and all for good reason
Now that he has come TO realize
he can TO longer depend on his
power punched TayO. he will
warm uD and pCssijIv be a little
more cooperative with us.
Just 10 assure himself that he IS
net left alone 10 be struck from
both sides
However. we must not put any
more faith In Mr. K and his
promises than we have ever
done. possibly less He Is not 10
be trusted. as he has many times
proven. and at the first OppOr-
tunity he will give US the punch
he has been waiting for He and
all the rest OF the COmmies. are
as false as the domestic look
N a lions eye
Anyway. I don't think We need
the help. guidance. or friendship
of Mr.. K 10 assist US along the
path OF Communism We are
doing a pretty good job o. find,
ing the trail all bv ourselves
And. OF course. We are still
plagued with the integration
situation. and will be for many
years 10 come Il is getting 10 the
point where those who were sym
pathetic with the cause are be
coming 50 disguised with the way
Il is being handled on both sides
that their sympathy is on the
Wane.
These sii-in demonstrations
and use of government troops
have Just about capped the
cause. The negro. by the very
action Of force and defiance, is
fast losing all recognition and
dignity he has managed 10 mus
ter And. on the other hand, the
administration is fast losing the
old support they had. and are
provoking many 10 the point Of
talking in tones of civil con
flici.
The arrogance with which the
integratiOn leaders have eHdOw-
ed themselves Is the worst that
could have happened to their
cause. One Il ader. n 4 teleyised

Well. OF course. Such h state
ments can be attributed 10 un-
reliable leadership. but never
the-less. il was a national leader
who made the stateme II .
This is a situation that just can't
be pushed, and income had

We have always been told that
lightning never strikes twice IN
the same place but don't you
believe il! This week, again, We
