TAKES SOME DOING Not the least of the problems involved in staging a Presidential Inauguration Is construction of reviewing stands to seat all the dignitaries who clamor to be present. The job would be much simpler, and certainly less costly, if only honest to goodness statesmen were so honored. Having seen the stands in recent weeks, we can’t believe there are that many true notables in the world. Maybe we’re being somewhat cynical for strictly personal reasons. For a number of years, on the night before Christmas, we’ve found pleasure in passing the Y^ite House to get a glimpse of two Ught^ trees outside the front door. This time the already erected stands blocked our view. Of course, bdiind the White House, outside the ^unds, the towering National Christmas TYee was in clear view. It was trimmed in blue li^ts, the same Uue bulbs probably that were used the year before on smaller State trees, when the National tree, grown in North Carolina, had red lights. We figured this out, because the red lights, for the 1972 Yuletide season, had been obviously switched to the individual State trees. Mr. Nixon, with great magnamity, even saw to it that Massachusetts had a State tree. Perhaps symbolic of the way things get fouled up in Washington, the lights on one side of the big National tree had burned out, or maybe a fuse had biown. If this can happen to the National tree, no wonder your parlor tree acts up. But getting back to those reviewing stands, lining Pennsylvania Avenue, we can’t blame Mr. Nixon for their expansiveness. They would have been just as big if Senator George McGovern had been elected President last November. And, considering the kind of folks who swarmed around the Senator at the Democratic Convention in Miami, it is painful to imagine what some of the notables in the stands would have looked like. Americans profess to take a dim view of pomp and ceremony, but since the very first Inauguration the crowds attracted have been tremendous. Like Times Square on New Year’s eve, it’s a place where thousands are, and millions would like to be. For the dignitaries, it is not only a wonderful chance to see, but to be seen. Deeply entrenched in almost every human breast is the firm belief that rubbing shoulders with somebody important in creases one’s own importance to at least a slight degree. The wife of many an official, be he Democratic or Republican, friend or foe of the President, would feel utterly disgraced, if an invitation to the Inaugural Ball didn’t show up in the mailbox. ActuaUy, such affairs are much too noisy and much too crowded, but the world is full of people who are willing to have their feet stomped on, and their ears deafened, if it affords them an opportunity to exer cise snobbishness. One person, for sure, won’t lose her perspective. Pat Nixon, the most gracious, down to earth human we’ve ever met, will keep her cool, and her genuiness will be all the more apparent in the midst of so many who lack this rare quality. it Pays to Advertise JOHNSON CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH, Inc. 12)9 Polledc New Bern • UNIFORMED SECURITY GUARDS - INDUSTRIAl OR RESIDENTIAL • GENERAL INVESTIGATION EASTERN DETECTIVE AGENCY 2608 Neuse Blvd. NEW BERN, N.
