This strikes me as ignorant.
If only the people who know
what the facts are in the Mid-
dle East talked about the place,
there wouldn’t be anything said.
Couldn’t even get in most news-
papers.
I don’t think the people in
Washington, London, Paris,
Moscow oi’ the Middle East it-
self are any better than the rest
of us, and I’ll talk about the
place whenever I get ready. If
people waited till they had the
facts to talk, 95 per cent of the
conversation in this world
would be eliminated.
However, talking about the
Middle East is no sign you have
The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner has found out
about the Middle East situation,
without finding out the solu-
tion, which puts him abreast of
most of us.

that when it
comes to crops

the solution for it, as me and
Washington are well aware,
and I would like to say quick-
ly that I don’t want the world
looking to me for an ‘ answer.
A man who can’t solve the pro- ,
blems on his farm is in no shape
to solve any problems in the
Middle East, the Far East, the |
Near East, or any other point
on the compass. As a matter of
fact, I can’t even read a com-
pass.
I was talking to a man in
town the other day and he said
the way to handle the Middle
East is to let Russia take on
the whole area if it’s willing
and all the other areas willing
to be taken on, then let Russia
go into the foreign aid busi-
ness, and while this won’t real-
ly solve the problems, it’ll
leave Russia busted. On the
other hand, you’ve got to re-
member there are a lot of peo-
ple who have joined up with
Russia about like the chickens
joined up with the scrooch
owls. The scrooch owls kept
scrooching up to the chickens
on the roost and pretty soon
there weren’t any chickens left.
Some countries have joined up
with Russia about like my
neighbors’ pastures have joined
up with my cows. Let a gap in
the fence show up and the cows
move in.
If you’re looking for a solu-
tion for the Middle East situa-
tion, don’t look at me, might as
well be looking at the states-
men of the world. I’m like most
people. Let’s conquer space. It’s
easier to conquer than our-
selves.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

and greenery in altar vases re-
flected in the glow of blessed
candles in candelabra decorated
the altar.
Miss Marjorie Seitz was or-
ganist with the Sweet Home

singing the Mass. Their hymns
included: “Remember Holy
Mary We Thee Adore,” “O
Sanctisimus” and “Panis Ange-

The bride’s gown was of Chan-
tilly lace and pleated nylon tul-
le over taffeta. The fitted lace
bodice was designed with long
sleeves tapering to petal points
at the wrist and high standing
collar, embellished with sequins.
The bouffant floor-length skirt
of lace and pleated tulle was
fashioned with a front and back
panel of lace, with the sides of
tier upon tier of ruffled lace
and pleated nylon tulle. The
back panel featured a sequined
design and terminated in a
cathedral length train.
Her finger-tip veil of illusion
cascaded from a crown of seed
pearls and sequins.
She carried a bridal bouquet
of white carnations and white
satin ribbon falls.
Louis Wagner escorted his
daughter down the aisle.
The feminine attendants wore
identically styled floor-length
gowns of, chiffon over taffeta,
