The weather—well It used to
be "blue Monday” when the
housewives broke their backs
over the washtub—now, its Just
Monday, and maybe it will rain—
who knows.
The government is worried
over the unemployment of youth,
not seeming to realize the laws
and regulations, and taxes for
benefits, make it almost Im-
possible to hire youth.—Aztec,
N.M. Independent Review.
There is also other obstacles
in the way of hiring youth—the
draft.
Since grasshoppers are con-
sidered the best bait for fish-
ing here is an idea of catching
them. Get a piece of cheese-
cloth about six feet wide, let
two men hold the cloth-one at
each end make a pass through
the tall grass. Jumping hoppers
will hit the cloth and get stuck
there. Cage the hoppers and
then the night before you go
fishing, put them 'n your re-
frigerator—it makes them a
little groggy and easier to han-
dle—a few minutes In the sun-
shine and they are as spry as
ever.
And, while we’re talking about
fish, let us take a look at the
smaller killer whale—they are
among the most vicious of sea
animals and will kill just for
the sake of killing. These small
black and white whales have
been known to pass through
a colony of sea lions and killing
everyone they could catch, and
eating none of them. They have
even leaped out on the water
onto an ice flow after a man.
We’re told if you want to
have some swell dreams and
nightmare* just drink s quan-
tity of sea water before retir-
ing—you’re likely to see any-
thing from a forked-tailed frog
to a six headed elephant, along
with a few snakes thrown in for
good measure.
But, who wants to drink sea
water when they can get the
same and better effect by con-
sum ng a pint of Hill A Hill.
So, we shuffle along-and there
^s nothing wrong in shuffling, for
it- is said Winston Churchill
shuffled when he walked.
The formation and announce-
ment of the Free Society Asso-
ciation should give the nation
vital and significant piece of
information. If all who believe
in the Free Society will stand
up and be counted by support-
ing the new effort, it should
show that the colossus of coll-
ectivism has not completely
crushed out individualism in
the country, as the pollsters
and pundits have lately been
saying—From the Free Society.
The truth of the matter is,
it has been so long since we
had s free society, theres s lot
of people who wouldn’t recog-
nize It If they saw it, or lived
in it. We often think of that old
song, "The land of the free
and the home of the brave.’’
The land of the free has be-
come s joke—and unless there
is something done it will get
worse. The chances are that
five years from now if I wrote
such a paragraph as this I
would be fined and tossed into
jail.
Of course, all this
stopped if the people rose ig> in
wrath and made their opinions
known at the ballot box-no one
enjoys having their freedom
curtailed-end it is being cur-
tailed by the minute.
There was a traffic jam and
the (heritable horn footer was
blasting sway. Then a young wo-
man in the car next to his,
leaned out and inquired sweetly.
"What else did you get for
Christmas?”
So we stagger off the page.

COMPOUNDED HER MISTAKE
WOOD RIVER, IU. (AP) -
Linda Turner was sitting alone
in James Walters’ car when she
thought it would be a good idea
to turn on the radio. But she
turned the ignition switch the
wrong way.
The vehicle was in gear. It
leaped as the engine started and
mowed down shrubbery In two
front yards and crashed into a
front porch.
Miss Turner, 14. told police
she tried to stop the vehicle by
pushing on the brake. The brake
turned out to be the accelerator.

Glimpses of
USA Scene
This Week
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP)
— The name of Beatty will con-
tinue to thrill fans of the circus
world who creep to the edge of
their seals when a human en-
ters a cage foil of wild animals.
A step-daughter of the late
Clyde Beatty, the famed wild
animal trainer who died of can-
cer July 19 after 40 years in the
business, plans to expand her
animal act with the hope of
eventually putting on a show
similar to her father’s.
"The name of Beatty is syno-
nomous with the best in wild cat
trainers,” said Harriet Beatty
Say in an interview. “I hope to
follow in his footsteps and keep
that name alive.”
VAN WERT, Ohio (AP) —
Skippy Is a red squirrel who
seems to like boys and campus
life better than the woods.
Skippy has managed to get
herself adopted by a dozen
boys of M isan Cottage who are
students at Starr Common-
wealth, a school for boys with
emotional and behavior prob-
lems.
Although Skippy is taken to
the woods to play, she always
returns to feast on peanuts,
cookies and com bread. She
lives in a screened-in porch off
the cottage’s living room.
"Either she thinks she’s a boy
or that we’re squirrels,” one
student said.

Russia Has Alcoholism
The following is an opinion!
Simply that, and does not necessarily express the views,
of this newspaper or its publisher. The purpose of this
and the following articles is to provoke thought for the
betterment of the entire community. If you disagree with
the thoughts herein please write us a signed letter
we will be glad to print your OPINION.
Russia is having its trouble with alcoholism, this in the face
of the fact that one of their statements was, "Heavy drinking
la a disease of capitalism.”
Today, so many people are hitting the vodca bottle so heavy
the authorities are waging a tough battle on it. They are not
releasing any statistics but they do admit there has been a large *
Increase since 1940—as a matter of fact, Russia Is becoming
s nation of drunkards—and who can blame them .If they get
enough booze in them they can Imagine they are capitalists.
It is said, “drunken pedestrians and drunken wife beaters are
not ranging so much concern as the intoxicants being consumed
by the young.” As a matter of fact, to curb minors from drink-
ing, laws carrying heavy penalties have been passed for giving
a minor a drink. Also, the “flickers”—moving pictures—are
being condemned for their drinking scenes.
Russia has been trying to set an example for the world to live
by, but when the truth leaks out, there is as much evil in Rus-
sia as there are in other nations. In fact, there may be more.
It is an admitted fact, moral standards are tower—working
conditions are far from ideal; living waiters are skimpy and
if one has a three room flat, you have a mansion.
If you think of communism, go into it. Get just a few of the
facts, and you’ll soon learn it is based on lies and misrepre-
sentations.
When looking for greener pastures, don’t covet what Russia
has, for, in the main, it is degrading. They are a nation of
infidels, and their religion is that the State is their God. There
is something we’ve never been able to imderstand and that is
college professors who stand before their classes and praise
Russia—1 wonder if they are getting checks from Moscow; or
are they devoid of common sense. And, while it is changing
foe subject just a little, we could never understand how a teach-
er could go before a class of young people and sneer and deny
God—yet, it is safe to say there are but few colleges that do
hare at least one such instructor.
Johnson Surprises
With Appointments
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) — After
an undr small c start in picking
men for big jobs President
Johnson apparently discovered
his announcements would get
twice foe mileage if he added
surprise and his thn'ng was
good.
His timing has been excellent.
And be has thrown tradition out
foe window in his selections
which have also been excellent,
and obvious, If you think of it,
but so unexpected that you ask
yourself: “Why didn’t I think of
it.”
Sunday was a good example.
He called a news conference
an foe lawn of his Texaa home
when Americans were watchii«
television and listening to
radios to learn about foe
Gemini 5 space twins who had
plopped down earlier Sunday in
foe Atlantic.
He used iq> 20 of the 30 allot-
ted television minutes with an-
oun cements and pronounce-
ments, some of which didn’t
have much news, and then sud-
denly hit the attentive nation
with a double surprise:
He was sending Postmaster
General John A. Gronouski, a
man of Polish descent who had
booed up an Polish while he was
hare, to Poland as U.S. ambas-
sador and replacing him with
Lawrence F. O’Brien, one of
Johnson's top sides.
Left unsaid Sunday was the
fact that now only five of the 10
Cabinet members Johnson In-
herited from President John F.
Kennedy are still In the Cabinet.
But he has made changes rather
slowly.
Johnson has been in office 21
months. President Harry S.
Truman, within six months aft-
er taking over from President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, had re-
placed seven of foe 10 members
in foe Cabinet he inherited.
Hie first dropout from Kenne-
dy’s Cabinet was his brother,
Robert F. Kennedy, who quit as
attorney general to run for foa
Senate from New York after
Johnson made it clear he did
not want him as a vice presi-
dential running mate in the 1904
elections.
Johnson waited almost five
months to replace Kennedy with
Nicholas Kaizen bach, the acting
attorney general all that time.
When the announcement came,
it was no surprise.
Nor was there anything star-
tling when Johnson replaced
some other dropouts: Luther H.
Hodges, secretary of com-
merce, with John T. Connor, a
drug manufacturer highly es-
teemed by business: Douglas
K Ilian, secretary of the Trea-
sury, with Henry H. Fowler, ft
lawyer who had been Dillon’s
undersecretary; and Anthony
J. Celebrezze, secretary of
health, education and welters,
with John W. Gardner, a lead-
foe Supreme Court. Marshall
had long experience with that
trlbunaL He had been chief at-
torney for the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of
Colored People in its most his-
toric Supreme Court victories
on desegregation.
Marshall had pleaded 32 cases
before the court and had won 29.
The most sensational appoint-^.,
meat came when Johnson perAi
suaded Arthur J. Goldberg to^'
give up his lifetime job as a jus-
tice on the Supreme Court to be
U.S. ambassador to foe United
Nations.
Johnson followed this up with
another surprise when he
named his long-time friend, Abe
Fortes, a Washingta lawyer, to
Goldberg’s seat on foe court.
Gronousld seems an toe
choice for the oh John*
wants Mm to do: g to the lan
of his ancestors uA build Pi
llsh goodwill for fids countr. .
Johnson could have picked any
number of trained diplomats.
O'Brian looks Ilka a natural
for postmaster general. Ha had
been for Johnson, as he was far
Kennedy, the administration’s
chief contact man and lobbyist
In trying to get foe President's
programs approved. He was
successful and to his new role
may do even better, and for a
special reason.
It’s a long tradition to give foa
postmaster's job to a politician,
and O’Brien is one, for foa Job
carries with tt a tot of political
patronage.
it-was truly unusual when
Johnson appointed a Negro,
Hnrcood Marshall, a judge on
foa UJS. Court of Appeals, to be
solicitor general and No. 3 nun
in the Justice Department. No
ether Negro had aver had that
Job.

IN LAW-ABIDING TOWN
MILTENBERQ-ON -MAIN. West
Oermsny (AP) - YThe loc^l
photography club, hard put to
find suitable accommodations
for the club darkroom, learned
that the local prison is rarely if
ever full of prisoners.
So the club dickered with city
authorities and leased two of the
prison cells for darkroom use.
