The First Sergeant and I got
back into town just in time to
help Editor B gat this week's pa-
per out. We took off Wednesday
night and managed to stay gone
until Monday evening. We visited
Durango and Mancos, Colo., Four
Corners, Monument Valley. Farrn-
ington and Albuquerque.
Saw a lot of beautiful and des-
olate country and visited a lot of
interesting people along the way.
Enjoyed sightseeing, and hearing
interesting and intelligent con-
versation with a lot of wonderful
people and learned a lot more a-
toout politics, religion and life in
general.
It's good to be home.

picked Claude: . ,
"You are probably wonderirifc
how I managed to find Claude.
You see I bought this book, a
little while ago, called 'Recent
Western. TV and Film Annual.'
And I was looking through it
and I found the piece about a
film called 'Hud' and I liked the
description of the town and how
it was renamed Vernal for the
film and I deoided to write there
for a pen-friend."
Things warming up
National politics locally now are
only luke warm. However, as the
real season approaches I expect
political pots will start to boil.
The past week or so I have been
doing a little reflective writing
on both Gold water and Johnson
and I notice an occasional barb
from one or the other supporters,
depending on which candidate
I picked to gravel out some good
or bad point.
The Goldwater people would
like for me to say nothing good
about Johnson and everything
good about Goldwater, and visa
versa with the Johnson people.
Newpaper men can't play that
way and have much of an insight
into things as they really are.
However, as the pot begins to
"beril" I plan to change my ways.
When a Goldwater man walks in-
to the office I plan to be strictly
for Goldwater. And when a John-
son man comes in I'm all for
Johnson. You can't straddle a
fence much firmer than that!
Knowing politics and my influ-
ence on them as I do, I do not
plan to carry the battle into the
streets. Besides, I'd rather switch
than fight.
Come again
We have been told that it is a
God-given right for a people to
take to the streets in violence or
otherwise, and practice sit-ins,
lean-ins, swim-ins regardless of
the law, if they feel their rights
are being hampered.
Now, that the civil rights bill
has become law, those strongly
opposed to it are given to under-
stand it is unlawful to take to the
streets in opposition or in any
other way hamper its edicts.
I don't quite understand this
type reasoning, do you? But I do
draw the line at sharing a tooth
brush!
Told you so
Well, New York's Sullivan law
has finally reached the ultimate
and lofty heights of asininery. It
is against the law in New York to
carry a weapon for self-defense.
Only those criminally perveted can
do this.
Last week a 27 year-old secre-
tary thwarted an attempted rape
by stabbing her attacker but she
then was arrested for earring a
swich blade knife.
Arlene Del Fava told police
she brought the knife with a
three-inch blade for protection
after the slaying of Kitty Genovese
in a nearby section of Queens
last March 13 while 38 onlookers
made no move to help her.
Police charged Miss Del Fava
with violatioin of the Sullivan
weapons law, and she was paroled
for a hearing July 14.
"That's better than being kill-
ed," she told police.
Palo Duro
Every wondered how the Palo
Duro Canyon got its name? The
version I heard was connected
with Coronado when he and his
conquestadors were searching for
Cibola, the fabulous, legendary
seven cities of gold.
The searching party finally
reached the Palo Duro and Coro-
nado was bitter and extremely
angry at the Indian who promis-
ed to lead them to Cibola. While
camping' in the Palo Duro, Coro-
nado, the legend goes, had the
Indian beaten with a piece of
wood found on the canyon floor.
The Indian kept screaming, "Palo
Duro, Palo Duro," which means
"wood hard."
However, the Texas Outlook
may have the best answer, though
neither are completely certain.
This month's magazine cover car-
ried a beautiful picture of Palo
Duro and makes the following
comment about its name:
"Palo Duro Canyon looks as
though it came into being fast
through violence — nature on a
rampage. But, in reality, it took
90 million years of water and
wind erosion to create this tribute
to nature in technicolor.
"Crossing four Panhandle coun-
ties — Armstrong, Brisco, Randall
and Swisher, Palo Duro Canyon
unexpectedly drops off perpen-
dicularly as deep as 700 feet from
a vast, level plain.
"Named by the Indians who
sought refuge in the canyon, Palo
Duro means hard wood and re-
fers to the juniper brush the In-
dians used for their arrows.
"In Palo Duro Canyon State
Park, saddle horses are available
for trips to more inaccessible areas
of the 120-mile long canyon. On
our cover, three visitors on horse-
back explore the floor of the Palo
Duro."
The voter
Read somewhere, sometime, that
only about 10% of the people
gave a hang about freedom, their
rights, or anything else, other
than a place to sleep, eat and
play.
Now comes a survey pointing
out the hard facts about voters
and the so-called independent
thinker. It says:
Twenty per cent are strong
Democrats.
Twenty-five per cent are weak
Democrats.
Twenty-five per cent are non-
partisan, popularly called the io>~
dependents.
Fifteen per cent are weak Re-
publicans.
Fifteen per cent are strong Re-
publicans.
in the off-year elections, when
the races are largely local or con-
gressional, interest is lowest. The
strong party affiliates go to the
polls in strength. But a great
percentage of independents, and
a lesser percentage of weak party
supporters stay home.
Who then are the independents?
The old textbook notion is that
they are the true weighers of the
issues, the judges, the arbiters of
hn,Hpnfii conscience. But modern
researchers have found that in
practice they are mostly the di-
interested, the uninformed, the
"I don't care — no opinion" po-
litical creatures who do not al-
ways vote.
This is as bad as the old boy
who would vote for the devil him-
self if he happen to be running
on a Democratic or Republican
