Oade County’s Only News VOLUME LII BIT By BROWNY Mr Dwight Eisenhower made his opening campaign address at Abilene Kansas, Wednesday, June 5. In case that name doesn t rin ; a bell in your mind, he’s the" fellow called much. “Ike”, the one they “Like” so Harry Truman, who happened be visiting Washington from his home in Key West, was re¬ ported to have watched Ike on television. This broke a White House precedent of not allowing the television sets to be on un¬ less Margaret is singing on a show. The thunder and rain that drenched those who came to see the son returned home was thought to have been promot¬ ed by Taft supporters. * Looks like it’s going to be an interesting summer. Ike even used words like “thrift” and “economy”, which were re¬ moved from the New Deal and Pair Deal dictionaries years ago No doubt they’ll be calling him a reactionary now, for using such old fashioned words and long-forgotten ideas con¬ cerning less government and more freedom. A Democratic leader in Dade County said after the address that it was all a shame. He said Ike was the best Democrat in the country and they were going ^to make a Republican out of him. The presidential race may be interesting but it can’t beat our own primary race in April. Tommy Sims and Pete Brad¬ ford ran as an exciting polti- cal race as was ever seen for the office of Coroner. They pulled lots of stunts that later appeared in the Snuffy Smith comic strip in the race between Sut Tatter- sal and Riddles Barlow. Tommy nosed Pete out by a small margin but not before he had skinned his knees trying to cut a quick trail un into the Gulch in case of a Bradford landslide. Getting back to Elsenhower, he told reporters he was against compulsory FEPC, say¬ ing it should be left to the states, and adding that legis¬ lation is no solution to such problems. That makes Ike and Sen. Russell the only two candi¬ dates with enough guts to speak their minds on this issue. No intelligent, self-respecting American would possibly sup¬ port legislation which would Make the federal government a dictator over every business in the country as the FEPC would do. But many of the candidates, like Kefauver, are afraid to come out against it for fear of turning the radical eft-wing northern groups against them, the groups that Might hold the balance in the key northern states. Kefauver Is like some of the C0 Lege basketball players who d!G anything for a dollar. With Estes, it’s anything for a vote, regardless of how bad “ mi Sht be for the country, -ems we already have a pre- sident of that character. 0* course, Kefauver has been :-°- f in g lot a of people so far. a -king out of one side of his 1 Continued on back page) wants to sing this therVn Day him Honor ' Sun ^ ay ^ Dad Fa ‘ lills Sunday. „ ' your ale €mtntn Devoted to the Best Interests ot Dade County and Georgia.

(Experts from a release by State Department of Public Health.) * “There is evidence that infec¬ tions for the prevention of diphtheria, whooping cough and possibly tetanus, WHEN GIVEN DURING AN EPIDE- MIC OF POLIO, may on rare occasions localize the paralysis in the inoculated arm. But this occurs only if the indivi- dual is infected with the polio virus at the time of the immu- mzaton.’ The following .statements are made concerning the immuni- zation of children during the summer months: “There ap¬ pears to be no good reason for withholding these immuniza¬ tions during the summer months in communities that are not having an epidemic of polio. Furthermore, polio is at all times so rare in infants un¬ der six months of age and as the danger from other infec¬ tions, particular whooping cough, is so great that it is ad¬ visable to continue the immu¬ nizations of this age group even during a polio epidemic. “In short, the immunization of infants under six months 'heuld be continued through- out the summer without regard : to the prevelance of polio and ; that the immunization of older children should not be inter- rupted except DURING AN EPIDEMIC.” Superior Court ]yj eets j une jg 1 Superior Court will for a one-day session June 16.
