Election Gives GOP Cause For Reflection

The Democratic tide which swept across the nation last Tuesday sent shudders through Republican party officials on the national le\d and < i . : are felt all the way down to normally Republican strongholds such as Kosciusko county. However, nothing appeared on the surface during the past week to give this appearance. On the contrary, Kosciusko county’s Republican apparatus was busy congratulating itself that it held all but one county office in its grasp, and returned a solid vote for its favorite son, Charles A. Halleck, the minority leader in the House of Representatives. One of 12 Ko ciusko county, in fact, was one of 12 counties of Indiana's 92 counties that found itself >olidly in the Republican column following last Tuesday’s election count. The congressional count went from Republican to Democratic, and highly-favor- • ed I.t Qov. Hn hard Ri-ttne failed to win the eitliernatorial race.

Kunkle’s View ■ While Republican county chairman Giles Hoffer prides himself in returning a Republican plurality in all but one case in Kosciusko county, and compliments his workers on their work. Democratic chairman Paul Konkle of Warsaw takes comfort in the school elections that for the most part went Democratic. ’Tliis shows the trend of the young voters”, he • Said. "Most of i them are not voting as their fathers vote, but they.are watching tele-I vision and reading campaign litera-1 ture: and making un their own | mind<”. he commented. ' j

NEW HEATING OH DISCOVERY FROM PURE OH I■■''• i' ' 1 ’ Now even at 20° below zero you got more heatperdollar! I Did you know that when temperatures drop, heating oil can become thick, and clog supply lines? To counteract this, some companies used to add lighter-weight oils with less heat value to make it flow better in cold weather. This meant less heat .per dollar. So Pure Oil research laboratories went to work and found new additives that keep heating oil flowing in the coldest weather! And they’re blended into Crystal-Clear PURE Heating Oil. In tests under bitter cold, this new kind of oil kept flowing. Untreated fuels-even diluted ones —clogged the lines. Now you can be sure of a steady flow of heating oil to your burner, when you most depend on it. With more heat power per gallon. At no extra cost.
