BAND PLANS VARIETY SHOW—Johnny Milnor has. started
, work this week In building up program for a variety show that will-
La be sponsored by the Ooldthwaite Eagle Band on Thursday,
February 2.
If I were to venture a guess, I would say we can look
forward to a jam up show and something that will be
worth many times the price it will cost to see.
Besides a good evening of entertainment it will also
be a benefit for the band fund which certainly needs every
encouragement at this time.
The band director and members suffered a pretty hard blow
when fire gutted the band rehearsal hall a few days ago. It is a
blow That ^'m require quite a bit of doing to over can**. But they;
wM overcome it and will go forward.
A friend of mine who had seen many more moons
than I had once told me: “There is a good baby born out
of every storm."
j There will bejj good b»bv born out of this storm, the
CHS band director and all band members will make every
effort to that end. With a little boost and extra support
during the weeks ahead from you and me their job will be
made easier.
You’ll be hearing more about this big show as it takes shape
during the next two weeks, so look for It and plan now to buy a
few extra tickets when the advance ticket sale gets underway.
A HOWLING SUCCESS— These shirts." bragged the sales-
man. “are tht best on the market. They’re so strong that it’s al-
most impossible to tear them. They simply laugh at the laundry.”
“I know that,’’ snorted the irate customer. “Last, time I sent -16 YEARS AGO
some to the laundry they came back with their sides split.”
WHAT’ NO FEDERAL ROADS?—No subsidies? No guaranteed!

No.' All those American pioneers had to go on was
character; all they traveled 2.000 hard miles for was the
opportunity for hard work. And that is what conquered
deserts and mountains, that ts what made America.
Those real Americans would have been ashamed to ask for
.something for nothing: they would have scorned those who de-
manded pay for no wstfcr,..
If all this country wants is more arid more Tor less anti less
work, we’re setting ourselves up as easy victims for more work at
less pay — and pay in rubles.

Ribicoff or Michigan Gov. G. Mcnnun Wiling
On the other hand, the president-elect I
knows some others who are beiiWtromin
mentioned for top positions. The pmicesi 1
usual it1 involves a Kennedy confidante throwing outsome 1
and qualifications at appointment discussions. _ .
Thorough staff work is then undertaken to learn as
about these individuals as possible, not only from the standp
of their official careers, but their political and personal
grounds, as well. *■
Kennedy's appointments are coming through much glower t
expected. There is a growing suspicion in some Washing
circles that he is encountering heavy resistance from somej
standing public personalities who are reluctant to leave “
present positions for the exceedingly rough life of a
appointee.
• GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT—Perhaps the greatest]
polntment experienced by President-elect John F. Kenne
forming his official family was the refusal to serve of Ro’
Lovett. Lovett, a Republican, had-served under Harry S. f
Kennedy offered him the post of Secretary of Defense, 1
by some as the "tougheet" Job in Washington outside
presidency. The Incoming president took the un-
usual step of announcing Lovett's refusal as the lavstt |
two stood at the front door of his Georgetown
home.
The 70-year-old Lovett was a visibly weaken-
ing man as he stood beside the 43-year-old Ken-
nedy. It was obviously true that Lovett's advancing ye

men to the post.
In this instance, It was apparent that Kennedy’s
announcing Lovett’s refusal did not want an impression]
