Many Pulled The Party Lever

From the comf nt of our chairs, we watched tlm vote totals roll m Tuesday night until well after midnight, waiting as may did, for the western vote and the speeches by the victorious and defeated candidates. In doing a little channel flipping to pick up commentary on the different networks, several conclusions came into our minds as well as many others. What is the future of the Republican Party” On the basis of ' the election, it must be decided that* the Conservative wing is dead. This was proved conclusively in the landslide and pointed out strongly in a couple of instances In many areas it was strictly the straight ticket voting as Johnson’s large margin of victory carried many others into office with it. And yet. to mind come two races where contrary results resulted. In Michigan governor George Romney was swept to victory ’ despite the fact that Michigan was 2 to 1 for Johnson. The voters of Michigan wanted this man in office and got him there again by supporting him It took ballot splitting to do it, a privilege everyone has but not many use. This makes Romney a big man in the Republican Party at present. From the success he has had. anyone would be glad to split a ticket for him. and many did. In New York an interesting race was held for the Senate. Robert Kennedy had thrown his hat into the ring against the incumbant Senator Keating. However. Keating would not

Actions Are Appreciated At Halloween

Halloween has come and gone, and this year it is pleasant to report that in this area vandalism was at a minimum. Over the years, cooperation has been asked of the younger set and various activities planned to make Halloween an enjoyable time for them as it should be. Parties for the young and teenagers must be paying off in entertainment suitable to overcome the desire to destroy property. The picture in the South Bend Tribune last week of damage done in a cemetery where approximately 100 tombstones were overturned, some broken.

support the conservative presidential candidate Goldwater. Kennedy s winning margin was much less than Johnson’s, but enough to give him a lead over the combined vote of Keating and Goldwater supporting candidate who got in the act on the name of Goldwater. In California Johnson also carried the state, but the controversial Mtuphy-Sahnger senate race ended in victory for Murphy, eliminating the former JFK press secretary. His running in California was as debated as Bob Kennedy’s in New York on the question of residency as both had been in and around Washington, D. C., for several years. All in all. the sentiment of the people was clearly expressed. Only the South departure from th* - Democrats on the Civil Rights issue, and Goldwater's home state, were his support The win was not regional by any means and not one that could be disputed on airy count. We are glad it is over as this campaign has been one which people in our area had about all they could take on TV. radio and the new capers. More criticizing and less platform talk was in this campaign than any for quite a few years This type of campaign and the length of the entire thing had many people very disgusted and almost to the point of losing interest in it all This could have been responsible for the many straight tickets that occured all over the country.

was one of extreme sadness. What would your feelings be if you were in a family where the grave of a loved one had the marker knocked over and broken'.’ This type of an act should be ,punished to tlx? fullest extent of the law as n>t only is this an expensive act, but also one of disrespect. The kids, in having their fun. can soap windows and things of this nature which is expected, but the other acts that they sometimes find to do. can lie very destructive Their behavior this year is well worth mentioning and probably their Halhnveen was as enjoyable as they would desire.

NFO News The regular monthly meeting of the St. Joseph County NFO was held at tire North Liberty Community Building with president Carlyle Buss, presiding Buss commented on the recess of the present holding action, stating that it was called to give NFO farmers a chance to combine soybeans and harvest then com. Also to dispose of the heavy livestock. He complimented the workers for their unparalleled effoits and suppoi t during the holding action. Also, expressed sincere thanks to H e non-mem- . hers who participated m the “hold". Buss also read an article that appeared in Prairie Farmer on statements made by J Russell Ines, director of marketing for the American Meat Institute, packers' organization in Chicago. These statements are false The NFO made tremendous progress during the holding action They increased their membership (locally as well as nationally) and did sign plenty of contracts. We must control 60 per cent of the commodity in order to activate a master contract. The reason we don’t name packers signing contracts. our opposition would put them out of business When 8 or 9 major chain stores can control the whole price structure, of agriculture. it isn't haid to understand why we don't name packers signing contracts These stat merits made by Mr. Ives, you can plainly see who is interested in the farmer getting a fair price Have you. as a farmer really noticed who is fighting the efforts of the NFO” If you will search for the answer to this question, you will find that in almost all cases. tb i ones who doubt about the NFO program working are not making their living off the farm, but off the farmer. Isn't it about time that farmers start running their own business bv joining the NFO and pricing their products instead of following tb ‘ advice of those who want to continue t • draw salaries and make profits off of unorganized farmers Th* *un ’ > n b'TI 1 ' -' 'be State NFO B -o I by I’nshr-rs Marketing A.

holding action, “it is neither the beginning nor the end of agriculture." My reply to this is: It will be the end of the. family size farm and the beginning of corporation farming if something isn't done and done soon. Those farmers who have not joined the NFO should ask themselves if they have really investigated the NFO or if they have listened to false rumors. False rumors ami false statements about the NFO. seem to always come from those who irrofit the most from the present marketing structure. Edith Snyder, reporter Watch out for school children!
