Now that the shouting and
hulabub is over President Dwight
D. Eisenhower remains our Pres
ident . . . While we did not vote
for him, he is the winner and
we, being a good loser, acknowl
edge he must be the better man
. . . for ... he is the winner . . . |
anytime any man can accumulate I
as many votes as President Eisen-I
hower, there is no doubt left in
the mind of anyone whom the
people desired to rule them . . .
«o Mr. Eisenhower is THE PRES
IDENT . . . mine and yours . . .
wonder how the Office Boy is
taking this way out in California
. . . out in the wild, wild West
where men are men and women
are glad of it . . . felt kinda lone
some for her last night as we
were privileged to attend the
Newton-Rockdale banquet at Por
terdale . . . she always likes these
affairs for, like the Boss, she be
lieves in Scouting 100 percent ... I
It did our heart good to see so
many fine adults attend this meet
ing and the enthusiasm shown'
was something to make you glad j
you lived in such a fine commun-;
ity where the adults took an in
terest in the lives of their boys
and girls . . . too many commun
ities are content to let their young
people shift for themselves and |
that is the reason there is so much
so-called Juvenile Delinquency
. . . As for us, we call it Parent
Delinquency . . . for there rests
the fault, no matter how you
look at it or try to excuse the j
parents . . . "train up a child in
the way it should go and it will;
not depart therefrom" . . . you
read it and weep if you are one
of those who are not training your
children properly ... As usual
the meal was excellent . . . yum
. . . yum . . , and we sat up the
rest of the night eating magnesia
tablets for being such a pig . . .
and occasionally looking at the
election returns ... it wasn't the
food, it was the quantity . . . don't
you just hate yourself when you
do a stunt like that . . . we do . . .
seems like we, whom God has
given plenty to eat . , . just stuff
when we get a chance . . . more,

The cast of "The Old Lady

play which opens the Newton

the acting debut of the remark
able Katherine Paty. Having
worked with an efficency which
approached magic in every other
capacity, she has now been per
suaded to come forth in the role
of the OLD LADY.
Supporting her will be Harold
Mann, well known for his gifted
direction of the Emory Glee Club.

chuckling in "Goodby, My Fan
cy”, and Nat Turner, whose in
imitable portrayal of the Devil in
'The Devil And Miss Appleby”
will not soon be forgotten, is

Democrats Retain Control ,
Os House and Senate
President Eisenhower won a tremendous second-tern
victory over Ad la E. Stevenson in Tuesday’s election but
in the battle for control of Congress Democrats held a
narrow edge. Eisenhower submerged Stevenson under a
flood of votes which swept over every section of the nation.
He appeared certain to win 41
states, as against the 39 he cap
tured in defeating Stevenson four
years ago.
That would mean 475 electoral
votes to 74 for Stevenson. Four
years ago it was 442-89.
A record number of Georgians
apparently turned out to give
Democratic nominee Adlai Ste
venson one of his best state wins
in a poor nationwide showing.
With some 1,000 precints to be
reported, the results of heavy
balloting stood: Stevenson 285.-
000 votes to 161,690 for Eisen- |
hower.
Th* tabulation* in Newton
County had not been completed
at press time. Approximately
2.800 votes were cast with
Eisenhower receiving approxi
mately 500 of these. balance to
Stephenson.
ton County had not been com
pleted at press time. Aproximate
ly 2.800 votes were cast with
Eisenhower receiving approxi
mately 500 of these, balance to
Stephenson.
Stevenson seemed sure of only
six states in the Deep South, and
. -muses.
Eisenhower was getting 58 per
cent of the two-party vote, com
pared with 55 per cent four years
ago.
In Washington his running
mate. Sen. Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee, issued a statement
pledging Eisenhower and Nixon
his support "in all that is good
for America."
The trend at the halfway mark
in tabulation indicated the total
presidential vote might top the
61.551.918 record of 1952. despite
what was generally regarded as
a less-heated campaign.
The Eisenhower tide rolled into
the normally Democratic South
with greater force than in 1952.
As he did in that year. Eisenhow
er carried Texas. Florida, Vir
ginia and Tennessee. He also won
Louisiana and Kentucky. He
won Oklahoma, as he had in
1952.
Eisenhower's victories in the
South were attributed in part to
the moderate stand he took on
the Supreme Court's school an
tisegregation ruling. Eisenhower
said at one point it made no dif
ference whether he endorsed the
opinion or not, it was the law
of the land.
Eisenhower’s personal populari
ty was credited with having
played a major part in the lop
sided verdict
