NOTES AND COMMENTS
It is a funny thing, but people who have
work to do will very often stop to play.
People who live in a nice town, like ( UM
MINU, ought to appreciate the opportunity.
Thirty-five years ago the issues were 1. eco
nomy in government. 2. the power of labor and
3. look out for the Bolsheviks.
The problem for American farmers is how
to consolidate the recent gains made in their
income.
Most of us can always find an excellent rea
son for doing what we wanto to do when we
want to do it.
The high cost of livig so-called is not as im
portant as the high cost of bankrupting the
Government.
Correct this sentence: “For some reason,
which I cannot understand, I am behind with
my work this week.’
Advertising is the primer of the pump of
business - if you use your head you will know
how the pump works.
The business man who tries something and
fails and then gets busy for another trial will
some day make the grade.
It. wil do you little good for the doctor to
tell you, after your health is ruined, how you
could have avoided a collapse.
Advice: Anyone who is lavish with the com
pliments will get along in this life. People ab
sorb flattery like kittens lap up cream.
OUR DRIVING RECORD
The American Automobile Association says
that the average motorist has a rather spotty
record according to statistic it has assembled.
'. That is, the A.A.A. says that the average
driver among us commits his share of traffic
violations throughout his driving lifetime. Av
eraged out, the violatons occur in this frequency:
An accident for the average driver every ten
years; a speeding ticket for the average driver
each fifteen years; a parking violation ticket
for the average driver every 2.8 years; and a
moving traffic violation every 3.7 years.
This means, in effect, that if one drives thirty
years, he will have experienced three accidents,
have received two speeding tickets, eleven or
twelve parking violation tickets, and about
eight moving-traffic violations.
This is somewhat surprising, when viewed in
the theoretical perspective of thirty years of
driving. And it should be remembered that
this applies to the average motorist. It does
not apply to the above-average, who might go
through a lifetime of driving without commut
ing any major violations or being involved in
any accidents.

FLORIDA FORGIVES
A 56-year-old father of six children, who is
an outstanding citizen of Chicago Heights, 111.,
has been forgiven by the State of Florida.
Jim Morton escaped in 1933 from a Florida
county road camp. When he escaped, he had
eleven months remaining on a 5-year sentence
j for rnobbery.
Sice that time, in 1933, Morton has lived a
model life and is considered an outstanding
citizen of C hicago Heights. In fact, he has
been considered an outstanding citizen in that
community for more than twenty years.
Recently Morton’s record was discovered
while working for a construction company un
der the name of Frank Brown. Governor Wil
liam G. Stratton, of Illinois, had hesitated to
approve extradition of Moton to Florida.
Stratton’s dilemma was solved by Governor
Leroy Collins, of Florida, when the Florida
Governor announced that although it was “a
little out of order,” Florida would make an ex
ception in this case, ncl aforget the whole thing.
All of which goes to prove that the good life
does pay, and that the principle of forgiveness
does prevail. It is well to remember both facts.
EISENHOWER AND KHRUSHCHEV
President Eisenhower, in a rare departure
from his usual style, recently branded a remark
attributed to Soviet Premier Khrushchev as
“crazy’.
Mr. Eisenhower, who usually displays rare
restraint in speaking of the leaders of foreign
countries, obviously resented the Khrushchev
remark. The Soviet Premier is reported to have
| said that the fact that Russia shot a rocket to
the moon proved the superiority of the com
munist system over the free enterprise sytem.
Asked about this remark, President Eisen
jhower branded it as crazy. »
This is still another indication that President
Eisenhower is becoming extremely sensitive to
the competition between the United States and
Russia in the missiles field.
President Eisenhower seldom uses a word
loosely, at least in press conferences, and it is
highly unlikely that he lambasted the Khrush
chev remrk unihinkingly. In addition, it is quite
probable that Khrushchev will understand the
tone of the remark and that a good retort,
such as this, will not bother him. In fact, we
suspect Khrushchev respects blunt talk and con
fidence - in the leaders of other countries -
more than sweet words, smiles, and diplomatic
chatter.
LABOR AND THE CANDIDATES
President George Meany, of the AFL-CIO,
has announced that the big labor union organi
zation will support a candidate, after the two
coventions select their nominees.
Meany, who succeeded in winning the presi
dency of the join union over the challenge of
Walter Reuther, when the American Feder
ation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations were merged, has been less vocal
in political affairs, generally speaking, than
Reuther, ow a vice president of the AFL-CIO.
While Meany did not bar the possibility that
j his labor union would support Vice President
| Nixon, who is expected to be the Republican
nominee, observers say there is only the slim
mest of chances that the big union organization
would support a Republican. Meany, moreover,
did not exclude any of the five principal Demo
cratic contenders for the nomination - as a
candidate he would not support.
We think it is highly desirable for the AFL
CIO to leave the way open to support either
candidate. When the nominees have been select
ed and the party platforms written, labor will
make its decision.
Vice President Nixon has already made one
move which indicates he is in the competition -
taking the initiative in the settlement of the
steel strike. Nixon’s intervention undoubtedly
I brought greater benefits to striking steelwork
ers than they would ha T :e received otherwise.
