Advertising rates will be furnished on application As Halloween approaches, we all tend to become kids again and look forward to putting on a mask. And what a thrill it is to fool our friends! And a man named Khrushchev is no exception. He too must get a great kick out of kidding! On his recent visit to the U. S., ]he wore his “sweet” mask and although it may be hard to be¬ lieve, he fooled some of us. How he must be chuckling up his sleeve. This man of many faces vis¬ ited us, wearing his special mask—a reasonable man dili¬ gently striving for peace and tranquility. He sought to hook- wink us into believing that he too was human. But now and then his mask slipped a little and underneath could be seen the iron, the distrust, the blood. We hear people saying that perhaps Khrushchev isn’t so bad —“He certainly didn’t appear eo bad on television”. And we cringe. We put little stock in face values—especially in this season Our Tourist Distraction As a businessman attempts give such value and service customers return, so do many Areas endeavor to make tourist attraction so pleasant that tour¬ ists return. And Dade County has much to offer a tourist. It’s no particular problem to get a tourist to come to Dade and see our beautiful valley, or admire our wonderful State Park. But who, with any humane traits at all, can at¬ tempt to lure a tourist to re¬ turn to Dade—via U. S. 11? The state officials, chamber of commerce, and other organi¬ sations have said that Dade’s best economic potential in the immediate future is tourist busness. And how we’re expect¬ ed to get them here is a pleas¬ ant frame of mind is beyond us. Take a look at the broken- down cars along the alleged roadway to Chattanooga. You’ll find up to half-a-dozen with broken axles, bursted tires, or cracked oil pans. Those with ruined shock absorbers and H. F.

Before we accept him as the “good” man he tried to con¬ vince us he is, let us recall the anogized expressions on the ifaces of those Hungarians a few months back, let us recall his statements to the Supreme Sov¬ iet. We can hardly hear what he’s saying now—the roar of tanks in Budapest still is in our ears. And as for the attention he attracted on his tour here, we see it as no endorsement. We believe there would have been just as much interest—possibly more—in a parade, featuring Gargantua, the giant ape, if it ihad the same police escort If he wants reason to prevail, let him deal reasonably and honestly. While here he made frequent reference to God. We believe Bishop Fulton Sheen summed it up well: “It was just a tactic to make a good impression ion a God-fearing people.” other lesser maladies probably run into the hundreds. That stretch of highway is the worst in the state, the greatest distraction to tourists possible and a constant expense and headache to Dade-Chattan- ooga commuters. We’re given various lame ex¬ cuses why nothing is done about It. But we believe that if enough of us begin writing complaints to the State Highway Dept, action would be forthcoming. We’re told that the expense of temporary repair is too great, isince the road bed is to be re¬ worked in the spring. But we think the expense of auto re¬ pairs, time and inconvenience are also quite great. Dade boosters promote the county as a gardenspot of Georgia and it attracts tourists. But only for one trip. And think of the comments these make to others, who then dare not come. 1 “Come to Dade—home of the world’s most treacherous road. “P. S.-Be sure your road hazard insurance is paid first.” MILLION?
