While Labor day week-end saw many of the summer cottages vacated, there are a number that have been rented for the Fall season. Many people have awak ened to the fact that autumn in Highlands is one of the most glorious seasons of the year. The electric generators on a big U. S. battleship or carrier could fill the electric power re quirements of a city the sire of Newark, N. J. Such warships have power plants generating an output two-thirds , as great as that of TV A' i Norm dam. observing none of the rules of politics. Of course, in this field you have an advantage for our systems are differet. You have the armed forces of your coun try and the Gestapo to keep you in power until they become so nauseated with you that they will spew you out of their mouths, while we are elected for two years at a time, and the people have to stomach for that Long whether they like it or not. And here is where you have vio lated, all laws of the game : - You, Herr Adolph, well know that we come up for re-election this Fall three long months from now and we quake in our boots and dasn't make a move until the election is over, while you take advantage of the situation and go right ahead with your dastardly war while our hands are tied and we are helpless. You have trampled upon the entire code of political ethics; you' have violat ed every rule of the game. Why, you are even working your slave labor in munition plants more than 40 hours a week and are not complyig with our Wage and Hour law the most efficient vote getting piece of legislation ever perpetrated upon the American puWic and, unlets you cease such nefarious practices, we are put ting you on notice here and now that we ' shall be forced to take the matter up with Madam Perk ins. And ;not only that not being content with stealing Central Europe1 for yourself .and helping Cousin Hirohito steal Eastern Asia, the islands of the Pacific and parts of Alaska, you, while our hands are tied are now steal ing Russia and North Africa al sosinking a good percentage of our merchant ships every day, drowning hundreds of American seamen, jeopardizing the lives of millions of our armed forces, in addition to causing the American public, for generations to come to groan under the weight of its tax burden. You are even sap ping the remaining strength, of the "overrun countries of Contin ental Europe so that they will be a liability to us instead of an as set when the election is over and we, at last, are in . a position to give our attention to the war ef fort. Can it be true that you even intend to knock out Russia before next November so you will also have her oil supplies, her boundless natural ' resources and her manpower of 180 million peo ple also at your disposal ? Surely not Herr Adolph ! Surely you realize that your trampling upon our political code will insure our defeat; that in order to meet this threat that we may simply have to get desperate and quit playing politics and get down to busines in order ta keep you from putting our constituents in concentration camps where they can't vote for us. Now, Adolph, we are between the Devil and the witch. We are busy trying to get ourselves re elected and have no time to give our attention to such frivolous things as stopping the blood from flowing from the side of a cruci fied world. But you keep right on you are "carrying the ball" While we are still in a political huddle and it ain't fair! But we are giving you fair warning. We cannot rely upon the exploits of Bataan, Coral Sea an Midway much longer. The American public is beginning to realize that the cerdit for these is due to the heroism fo American soldiers, sailors and airmen, and not to us and every time we "point with pride" the public is prone to bring up something about pensions for Congressmen, or the alphabet. A continuation of your present practices may cause our defeat, and the next bunch that goes in may profit from our example and apply themselves to helping the Army and Navy and American public give you the sound drubbing that you deserve, instead of employing their time in seeing how they can make their position secure for the next election, and into how many combinations the alphabet can be twisted. Now, will you let up un til this election is over? With appropriate regards, and with the hope that you will let this warning guide your conduct until the November election is over, we subscribe ourselves THOSE CONGRESSMEN "Whose Feet The Shoe Fits" P. S. Of course, for political rea sons, we can't sign our names but you know who we are.
