One day. three baby-faced ouths appeared at his shop with cops and "art" for so-cal-led "underground press" campus paper. The printer, by no leans unaware that life has its seamy side, took one look at the material and didn't know whether to blush or turn pale, so vile It was Rather than get । to an argument over the matter, he decided to use an easy •nd quick way out; he would quote such an outrageous price

that the students would go elsewhere After calculating, on pad and paper, his cost and normal profit margin, he then du aided the price, and announced it to the “editors." "That's 0.k.," said the youths. "Cash," added the printer. “That's all right, too.” “In advance." Whereupon, the printer reported. the youths reached into their pockets and pulled out a roll of bills “large enough to choke a horse." With his back htterally to the wall, the printer finally said "Nothing doing. I would not touch that stuff with a pair of tongs." Some might ask. "Why not? It was a chance to make some easy money.” Fortunately, the printer displayed more courage than some college boards and university presidents who apparently don't have tire moral stamina to stand up to rebellious students and say "No." We are glad to learn that there are other printers like him. Seems to us we've heard of another craftsman who showed us. by example, how we should live. Wasn't He a carpenter?

Thursday eight to ten inches of white blanketed the ground and then on Friday he really settled down to business and by nightfall fully a dozen more Inches fell to add to the already bad state of confusion. Older residents say they had not seen as much snow here in many years. Heart Fund Drive The Heart Fund Drive will continue through the month of March, so don't forget to mail in your contribution.

Main Street Gossip History has away of r ; iting itself and so does fashion. It you're past 40, you’ve learned not to throw anything away, because with tune, most things come back into fashion. fwenty years ago when hemlines plunged alter the skimp and skim of war-time fashions, designers called it "The New Look." Now with Paris, Romo and New York taking a midcalf stance for the '7os they're calling it "The New Look." A good many women will refuse to bury their mini skirts. They’ll rave and rant--and in the end. go out and buy a longer Skirt. They did it in 1948 and they will probably do it in 1970. So if you have not hemmed up all of your older clothes, don’t. There are some 90 million people who are in the 19 year old age bracket that will set the trend The next largest group are those in the 20 to 34 age bracket. However, the 45-54 group will have a drop in their age group but the 55 on up age group is going to Increase by about 18 percent to make them 45 million strong. Now as you see, all of this puts the accent on youth in the coming decade. It certainly will be interesting and highly complex to see which fashion will survive. Time will tell what the fashion scene Is whether it be mini or mid-calf, the person who buys the merchandise will be the judge. —MS G — Vandalism is on a decrease thanks to General Electric.

We are most fortunate in him receiving clearance from the U.S. Government to come to our area to speak. I must respond to your editorial of February 26, 1970. You have the privilege to view your opinion in print on any subject. O hope you will give same. me the opportunity to do the Your article expressed your personal opinion and seemed to me to have very little basis in fact. I do hope in your future editorials you will do more research on subjects of such controversial nature. You praised Judge Julius Hoffman ami were obviously impressed with the way he conducted the "conspiracy, trial." Following are quotes from some people who share my feelings on the subject. “11l over 40 years of active practice I have never known the bar to find it necessary to defend itself from an unwarranted attack by the judiciary nor have I ever known any judge to Issue such reckless and intemperate statements concerning the bar in general. To permit statements of this type to pass unchallenged would lead the public tu believe
that the bar had capitulated and was impotent." Gilbert a. Rsenthal, President of the National Associtation of Defense Lawyers in criminal cases, New York .New York. "I believe it is impossible to determine the actions of defendants would have been if there had been a fair trial. In many ways the trial presented the same problems as did the convention disorders, for while the Conspiracy 7 were being tried, for we still do not know whether or not there would have been disorder had the city issued reasonable permits and had not expressed such hostility toward the demonstrations." Jay A. Miller, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union, Illinois Division. "How can you expect youth to have faith in the American judicial syste mwhen such outraeous sentences are imposed " Dr. Curtis MacDougall, Professot of Journalism Northwestern University and candidate for the Democratic nomination. 13th Congressional District of Illinois. Os course there are those who disagree with these gentlemen. One is the Vice President of our country. He recently stated at the Nation's governors conference In reference to the trial, “the threat of violent revolution is a clear and present danger. Will the government remain in the hands of its elected officials or will It descend to the streets?" I assume you agree with Mr Agnew. I wonder if you also agree with the following statement made by another one of our great "leaders" of not so long. ago. "The streets of our country arc in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting, communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might. And the republic is in danger.yes. danger from within and without. We need law and order! Yes. without law and order our nation cannot survive. We shall restore law and order ” Adolf Hitler.
