What Was That Again?

November 3rd isn't very far Off and tire politicians are out beating the bushes in quest of votes. The campaign trail is a hard path to follow lor the many persons running for public »f---fiee. Often in these campaigns the talk gets a little harsh about an opponent or Ins previous record. The questions a.-k. ed can involve any subject that is even near concerning the candidates. and many that don t. One very interesting thing in our set up of t xiay. is the press conference. Even the ones of Die elected officials are aimed to catch them in any way possible. The late John F. Kennedy was a master at a press « mH iei.ee. Even the ones of the elected officials are aimed to catch them in any way possible. The late John F. Kennedy was a maze! at a press c’nfetvme He even made his public by putting them on TV and radio This opened the eyes and minds of many people and proved to ba en'«rtaining to all. Trying to trap a candidate by a question and answer sc ssi >n is like wrestling a l>ear. These n. n have all the answers. Tne only question is. what has been said after it is all over. In the coming weeks, many a press conference or interview session may sound something like this. Quote: Q. In case you are elected. Sir. what are your plans’’ A. I intend to take a progressive pasture, in line with my party s plat form Q. What will be your first move? A. Forward 1 intend to move forward. * Q- 'VW-l "dll you do first ?

Can you give us any clues about them? A They u 11 b< forward looking, too. Q As you see the world situation. what do you think we should do? A I plan to make a continuing study of tilings and I ah eadv have some men in mind for it.

refer you to our platform. How. ever. 1 can assure you that everything that can be done, will be done. Q. Are you advocating firm acti m against Castro? A. Yes. indeed but of course within the limits of world opinion We canr> 4 attront world opinion, so we must secure unanimous support of all nations for whatever action we may take. Q. What about disarmament? A. I believe it is up to Us to show the world we are not inflexible. Q How do you plan to do it? A. I feel we have a responsibility to implement our peaceful intentions and initiate further movt s to show everyone that we bear no one ill will. Q Do you mean Communists? A 1 mean no one in particular. Furth-r. I feel that no g >od purpose is served if we indicate in any way that we look upon any nation as an enemy or a potential enemy. Q Sir. dees that include the Soviets? A. Next question! Q What do you p’an to do about South Vietnam? A. Well, we have both a military and a political problem there, but as 1 see it. our greatest problem comes from myths we have built up. Q Myths? A Yes because much of our difficulty there in Cuba and elsewhere, is based on the myth that we are right. We have been too inflexible in D is area and this attitude has created ill will on the part of others. Obviously, when you have ill will it generates bad feeling and this causes all those unfortunate things like our boys being killed Therefore we must stop being inflexible and show these people that we understand their side of it. and when that is done, we shouldn’t have any more t rouble. Q What about taxes” A If elected, f solemnly promise that thev will he drastically lowered. This in turn will permit us to increase our spending for such essentials as foreign aid aid government personnel Mv economic advisors assure me that this will get our economy moving again so that we can reduce our crushing national debt by billions a vear. Q Ono final word. Sir What do you seo as the most important prob’em in- the world today” A Winning this election. End ouote. Enough said.

Main Street Gossip Well, its pretty nice to be back in the old sanctum sanctorium again after being away from it all for seven years You see. Boss Bob decided he needed a vacation, and not knowing of a good excuse to get one, up and got himself married. Yes sir, the old bachelor decided at long last to take the "1 Do . . . for better or for worse' obligation. It's a sneaky way of getting a vacation but guess its worth it. It took two sky-pilots to d > the trick for Bob You see. h a fellow waits as long as Bob did. it requires some extra doing t get the contract all signed and seal'd So Bev. David Owen of the Presbyterian persuasion had to have help to get the job done right He called in his neighbor Methodist parson Rev. Harold Williams, and the two of them worked together nicely I tell you, that Bob Urbin is hitched good and tight. And it was a beautiful ceremony in a delghtful setting, attended by some two hundred friends and a few skeptical individuals who just had to see the ceremony to believe it actually happened. Its terrible to have such a reputation for single blessedness, and it wasn’t easy to acquire . . in fact, it took years of hard effort on Bob's part! Another precaution taker? to insure ft 4 domesticity for Robert was in the selection of his wedding cast of characters Th u was his first understudy at the printshop. “Hook Powers for moral support.

This ole Mans' rc—ter had the feeling he was giving his boy away and getting n return a dear, sweet girl than whom Dx re isn't anything m< er! Voice of the People It is jyasllcss to say that we did appreciate the < nthusmstic welcome that the Walkerton Cemetery B< ard itce.-ed iiy thru numbers (which number ab< ut 1500) at our adverti.-ad meeting Monday night at the Town Club for the purpose of electing two new members to replace two officers who have served six and one half years. Your Cemetery Board holds regular monthly meetings through out the year with our regular October meeting set aside for the purpose of electing two new members to the b«*ard and giving our membership an opportunity to attenhtdl sm eeting tend this meeting to ask questions and express their views concerning the Cemetery. Besides the official board there was one person wh > was interested enough about the cemetery to attcnd Dus meeting We have worked hard and without pay to make the cctptery what it is to lav. and it is not a good feeling to know that < nly one person is interest d onomOi to attend one hour meeting a year to expr-s s his views concerning the cemetery.
