Folks, you may consider this
to be a public service? sort of
a lost and found Item.
I hear that a certain very well
known law officer lost his
underwear and despite all ef
forts, haarfU been able to locate
the missing pair of drawers.
Now It Is my understanding
that he is too embarrassed to go
around asking folks If they have
found a missing pair of men's
drawers and, of course, I
couldn't possibly mention, his
name, but If any of you good
Franklin County folks happen to
find the missing garment you
can return same to its grateful
owner by contacting me or turn
ing It In to any police officer. I
Someone told me thitf a group
spent some time Wednesday af
ternoon looking for the missing
pair of shorts In a certain
grocery store, but how anyone }
could possibly lose their shorts
In a grocery store, Is almost be
yond my comprehension.
In case any of you have any
doubts about this matter let me
quiet your suspicions and say j
that the whole thing Is quite In
nocent.
So If you happen to reach Into
your grocery bag and come up
with a pair of men's shorts,
wei:, there Is a perfectly logical
explanation for It. They werp
Just misplaced by a certain
well-known lawman.

You may remember that some
time back I wrote about a cer
tain girl who was all the time
forgetting things. Going to the
beach and forgetting to take the
suitcase containing hers and her
daughter's clothes or going to
the lake for aplcnlc, leavlngthe
lunch, basket sitting at home In
the yard.
I'll have to admit that this
girl Is showing Improvement.
She 'recently showetf up some
place carrying two pocketbooks.
So you see, she not only remem
bers to carry things with her
now, but evidently remembers
twice.

Then there was a certain lady
who recently decided she would
go out to the pear tree and

ter hearing her son talk ab</it
how full the tree was of nice,
ripe, juicy pears.
A short time later slit -ame
back In the house and told her
son that he must be seeing
things, there wasn't a pear on
the tree.
Both went back outside where
!t took but a tew minutes to as
certain that the mother was
quite ? correct. There wasn't
a pear on the tree, but there
was also a perfectly reasonable
explanation for that fact.
Seems that she had been look
ing at an apple tree which had
been devoid of fruit fpr some
time.
Why shucks, I've even noticed
that you hardly ever get pears
i ff of apple trees.

franklin County folks are al
ways eager to take advantage of
a bargain, so I have a sugges
tion. Buy a season ticket to the
Loulsburg College Players
1963-64 productions. They are
only $2.50 for adults and for
this amount you will get to see
four good stage plays.
Take my advice and don't
miss any of their productions
this year. You will certainly
get your money's worth.
That glory only Is Imperish
able which Is fixed In one's
moral make-up.

News Report From Washington
Kennedy Popularity Down
Next Twelve Months Crucial
Eisenhower's Role ?
Would Back Goldwater?
Washington, D. C.?The po
litical pot Is already boiling
furiously In Washington and
elsewhere over the i9&4 presi
dential election. The latest,
polls show that President John
Kennedy's popularity has drop
ped appreciably.
The latest Gallup Poll triol
eates that the drop has slowed,
now standing at 61 per cent ap
proval of the Kennedy Admini
stration. This Is still high and
should public approval remain
at that level, Mr. Kennedy will
be reelected.
On the other hand, It Is too
early to say his election Is
assured, since It Is more than
a year before the election and
since the President's popularity
has declined from over seventy
per cent to 61 per cent In a
few months.
The President has gained
some support in the East In re
cent months but has lost sup
port In the South, Midwest
and West. Of course, he was
strong In the East in 1960 and
weak In the West. The great
est change Is In the South,
which the president carried but
which looks bleak today. .
Because the baromkerforthe
President seems to be falling,
Increased excitement and hope
has been generated In Republi
can ranks. And the key man at
the 1964 convention might well
be former President Dwlght D.
Eisenhower.
In the last month It has be
come clear the former Presi
dent will play an active part In
the Republican convention. He
has listed twelve suitable Re
publican candidates, In an effort
to broaden the Republican field
somewhat, and this was taken an
an indication Mr. Elsenhower
was not entirely enthusiastic
about either Senator Barry
Goldwater or Governor Nel
son Rockefeller.
However, , supporters- 'O'f the
two leading Republican candi
V"
dates can find solace ... the I
fact that Mr. Elsenhower said
he could support eltherofthem.
The former Supreme Com
mander and president feels that
either would be preferable to ,
another four years of the Ken
nedy Administration.
Elsenhower confidants believe
the President prefers a moder
ate Republican , however, If he
has a choice. Mr. Elsenhower
was considered by easterji Re
publicans to be closer to the j
eastern wing of the party than
to the conservative wing, which
so solidly supported the late
Senator Robert Taft over the
years. ,
The question Is how much j
Influence Elsenhower will have.
He has begun to Interest him
self and play an active role at
an early date and there seems
every reason to believe that
he and perhaps former Vice
President Richard Nixon, will
both wield Influence at the next
GOP convention.
In fact, some Goldwater sup
porters see In an Elsenhower
Nlxon coalition against their
man the one combination that
might block him from the party
nomination, and while they do
not openly admit any lack of
confidence, they are working to
prevent an Elsenhower-Nixon
coalition forming against Gold
water.
They will be satisfied If the
former, President sticks to the
statement he will support the
nominee whoever he may be, for
they fe?l nothing can now stop
the Goldwater bandwagon. But
this assurance Is all-Important
and If Elsenhower should turn
thumbs down on Goldwater It
would be a heavy blow.
Eastern Republicans are not
unaware of this and are appeal
ing to the former president to
speak out against the radical
right, what they term the old
conservative -Isolationism ap
proach of the Arlzonan:
The President lsunwllling tj
publicly oppose Goldwater;
whether he sticks to this po
sition over the next ten months'
may be a decisive factor prior

Lucky Soldier
A sweet young thing was
watching some soldiers drill. A
rifle volley rang out. With a
scream the lovely young lady
shrank back Into the arms of a
young soldier. / i
"Oh!" she exclaimed, blush

the rifles. Won't you please
forgive me?"
"It's all right," the soldier
assured her. "Let's go over
and watch the artillery."

The 64s from Ford are here:
The Year of the Test Drive starts today!
Ford cars have changed. Only a test drive can tell you how much.
Races and rallies, economy runs, braking and acceleration tests have
bred into our 1964 models the kind of total i)erformance you just can't
create on the test track alone. They are hard-muscled, fast-moving,
sure-footed. Open competition helped make them that way.
They offer you substantially more car than anything at
their price. You don't have to take our word for it.
We're willing to rest our case on our cars.
