APPRECIATION
DAY MAY BE
STARTED HERE
A representative group of
merchants met at the City Hall
Tuesday morning in the interest
of getting an “Appreciation
Day” started in Paducah.
Joe H. Brown, of the Na-
tional Trades Day Association,
Weatherford, Texas, met with
the group and explained the
program which would definite-
ly be a “trump card” in bring-
ing more people to Paducah.
Should enough merchants be
interested and the program is
begun, the Appreciation Day
cduld be set for any day in the
week, that being up to the
merchants participating.
Mdtd' than 46 states, with
32.000 towns representing some
130.000 merchants, are now co-
operating in Appreciation Day,
Brown told the group.
Some of the merchants sign-
fcvT on th
Tuesday morning session, fa-
voring the Trades Day, and
Brown is now contacting other
merchants in regard to the pro-
gram. If enough merchants are
in favor of Appreciation Day,
under the sponsorship of the
Lions Club, it will be started
here in the near future.
Cost per merchant per week,
rules, etc. will be explained by
Brown as he makes his call on
merchants.
In addition to offering peo-
ple of this trade area quality
and staple merchandise at re-
duced prices on the “special
day,” tradespeople would get a
chance at some nice, fat, juicy
prizes.

W? are finally finding out
old alibi Ike” promises a lot,
but does not follow through
Prattler is heartily in accord
with Senator Olin D. Johnston
when he assailed President Ei-
senhower as a “resourceful alibi
Ike” who has broken campaign
promises to the people.
In a speech prepared for a
Democratic political rally at
Hagerstown, Md. recently the
senator said:
“Eisenhower has dilly-dallied
so long about taking the presi-
dency seriously that the reac-
tionaries within the Republican
party have gained control.”
The Democrats, Johnston said,
must win the 1954 congressional
elections “before the give-away,
sell-away, throw-away policies
of this Republican administra-
tion wreck every major problem
the Democrats have built up
over the last 20 years.”
Democrats at their meeing re-
cently in Chicago strengthened
themselves and showed they can
win the 1954 congressional and
the 1956 presidential elections.
——o—*
Former President Truman and
Adlai E. Stevenson, the party's
1952 presidential nominee, join-
ed other Democratic leaders in
assailing the Republican ad-
ministration during the Chicago
meeting. But they avoided any
criticism of Eisenhower person-
ally.
—o—
Johnston, in a vigorous blast
at Eisenhower, his cabinet and
the Republican majority in Con-
gress, said:
“I don’t want to leave the
impression that Eisenhower is
not pleased with his own ad-
ministration. For when we talk-
ed about foreign policies he
was already committed—when
we asked him to redeem farm
promises, he said he inherited a
bad situation.”
-—o—
When “Ike” was asked about
a balanced budget, he complain-
ed that he’s got to pay some
old Democratic bills.
When “Ike” is pushed on
tax relief, he replies somewhat
impatiently, that he didn’t
mean THIS YEAR.
When Taft-Hartley labor leg-
islation is pointed up, “Ike” says
that Charlie Wilson (secretary of
defense) won’t like it.
And when “Ike” was asked to
stay at his desk for a little
while and forego .extended golf-
ing and fishing trips, he mut-
tered, “doctor’s orders.”
—o—
Johnston said that, whatever
may be Eisenhower’s knowledge
in his own field, he knows no-
more about farm needs and
promises than Little Bo-Peep.”
-—o—
With apologies to “Little Boy
Blue” Prattler composed the fol-
lowing little poem:
Little Boy Blue come blow
Your horn.
“Ike’s” gone golfing from
Night ’til morn.
Go wake him, go wake him,
No, no, not I
For if I wake him it will
Be more alibi.
