Two
Library Finances No Problem
For years and years we have heard the need of a li
brary for this community discussed by one or another or
ganization, and we have waited hopefully but vainly tor
plans for a library to get beyond the discussion stage. It
is like so many other good ideas; everybody agrees that
the idea is wonderful, but nobody has the aggressiveness
and know-how to formulate plans and get action.
Finances for a community library will prove a small
problem once a workable plan is made and a campaign is
begun. This community has contributed liberally for worth
while causes, and its generosity can be shown again.
The lighting system for the Wakelon athletic field
was purchased and paid for, though the majority of those
living in this community said it could never be done.
Bleachers suitable for sofeball, football, or indoor
basketball were obtained when folks said that contribu
tions toward paying for the lights had milked our people
dry.
Funds were found to pay the salary of a full-time direc
tor for our summer recreation program, and w ; e believe it
is only a matter of time before such a director will be
paid to direct a year-round program.
The PTA realized the need of a public school music
teacher, and it is well on the way toward obtaining the
funds necessary for providing this teacher at Wakelon.
You can add to this list as much as vou want to. What
we are trying to get across is that finances will not be a
problem once the plans for a library r.re worked out. We
hope that one of our many community organizations will
initiate action soon.
Why Vote Democratic?
We have been asked why we have thrown our support so
completely to the Democrats, when, no doubt, there are
some Republicans of great ability in our National govern
ment. We do not question the fact that there may be good
Republicans, because we have never seen anything which
was completely bad; but a few good Republicans do noth
ing to change our minds about the party best qualified to
lead our nation.
By watching the members of both parties in the Senate
and the House of Representatives, it is not difficult to
discern which has the welfare of most of the people at
heart. No vested interests have purchased the vote of
the Democrats, for their’s is the party of the forgotten man
who voted the Democrats into power in the dark and dis
couraging days of the Great Depression.
In the eighteen years that have passed since 1932, our
country has weathered the greatest and most terrible war
in the history of the world, and now stands as a bulwark
against the onslaught of militant Communism. Democrat
ic leaders have been at the helm during these perilous
times.
To admit to no mistakes would be to lie, for we know
that no human is infallible. Some errors are bound to have
been made in the past 18 years, but the fact that today
we stand as the richest and most powerful nation in the
world, with a standard of living higher than ever before,
stands as a tribute to the sincerity and capability of Demo
cratic leadership.
