President asks over five billion dollars to aid Europe in fight against Russia . . . The municipal elections are over. The people have expressed their wish es. All candidates, winners and losers, are to be praised for tak ing part in this important civic event. There is no reflection on the losers. Sometimes the best man and the best friend is supporting a platform that does not meet the approval of the voters. In later elections the same candidate chang es his platform and sometimes is elected. Often the voters are edu cated to see the light of the defeat ed candidate and change their minds. This shuffling back and forth to find the most acceptable program of government suitable to the best interests of the ma jority, makes our country progres sive and strong against commun ism, gangersterism and political bosses. Now let’s get together and see how much we can get the new governments in our communities to do within their power. They need the cooperation of all of us.
