The Algona Upper Des Moines from Algona, Iowa • Page 9

2-Algona (la.) Upper Dei Thursday, February 3, 1966 tippet MAYBE WE'RE IN THE WAY, To the western mind, some of the war procedures of foreign lands are not easy to understand. Take for example the New Year armistice between North and South Viet Nam, with the Viet Cong thrown in as middle men. The lunar calendar New Year of the Viet Namese was January 21, and leading up to it both sides seemed in perfect agreement about an armistice so that each side could enjoy this traditional holiday. Then, as an extra special concession, it has been reported that the Viet Cong and their North Viet Namese allies freed 15 South Viet Nam officers who had been captured last year. This nice gesture brought a similar token of affection from the South Viet Namese, who likewise announced the release of 20 North Viet Namese prisoners upping the ante by five, you will note.

Of course this all came to an end when the New Year holiday ended, and each side resumed slaughter as of old. In the meantime, U.S. forces also participated in the armistice session during the lunar New Year and refrained from any particularly strong military activities. One can wonder why, if the North and South Vief Namese can go into a voluntary armistice on their own, and freely exchange token prisoners, they can't also settle their differences some other way than by war. It's a queer type of combat, and perhaps if we left them to their own devices they might work things out without any of our assistance.

Maybe we're in the way. TRY IT AGAIN The Iowa Bar Association, we note, is recommending there be an overhaul of Iowa's minor court system, including replacing of present justice of the peace courts and mayor's courts with magistrates that would be known as district court commissioners. This is similar to a proposal that was made to the 1965 general assembly in Des Moines, and one advocated by the legislative study committee, but on which there was no specific action. There is merit to the proposal. Justice of the peace courts are pretty obsolete, and so are the mayor courts for that matter.

In fact while the mayors of cities are called upon to act under certain specific circumstances, you wonder whether or not they enjoy their duties, and just how much harm is done the city or town they represent. No matter what decisions they make, or fines then render, they are certain to leave sore spots. They just can't win. At any rate, it looks as though the legislature may try it again. iffilmtice HIE.

True, it is sponsored by six national corporations vitally interested in the farm field, but they don't sell anything and aren't asking you to buy all you have to do is be there, and it could prove educational, entertaining, and will certainly provide a good day of companionship with many other area farmers. You all come I POLITICAL LIFE REVIVES The year 1966 is another state election year, and political life around the state seems to be reviving after a lull in 1965 when no major elections occurred. From what we read, it seems that the major problem of the republican party is to persuade candidates to enter competition.

That is not true for the governor race, where several are already in the arena, but party leaders are calling for candidates for most other offices. It appears that Senator Jack Miller will have little or no opposition in his primary, but considerably more in the general election. This will be the first year in which the new date for the primary is used, which puts it in the fall instead of the spring, and only a comparatively few weeks ahead of the general election. Thus, candidates will have more time to battle for primary nominations, but not too much time to wage a campaign for the general election. For the first time in a long, long span, the democrats in the state will have the advantage of incumbents in nearly all state offices and legislative control, plus a majority of the Iowa congressional delegation.

It always helps when you're on the inside, looking out. Just ask any democratic candidate of the past, who usually was on the outside, looking in. It could be a very lively fall. 'GREAT SOCIETY' COMMENT Northwood Anchor For those who like it, the Great Society may be worth every penny it Is costing. For those who oppose any price-Is too high.

The trouble is that both lj sides of the argument usually have no idea fust what the tab will come to. The facts are interesting, no matter how you look at it. This year's administration this is considerably smaller than the sum total of the Treasury's total expenditures- was announced at under $100 billion by President Johnson. However, the best estimates as of now are that by the end of the fiscal year, on July 1, 1966, the Administration will have gone at least $10 billion over what was budgeted. This will give the Treasury one of the biggest peacetime deficits In history.

Only part of this can be dumped in the Great Society's lap. After all, close to $50 billion will go for defense there are such expenditures as foreign tfid, a solid $3.3 billion, and other programs begun by previous Administrations. Great Society programs, for which the American taxpayer will be paying in the next five years, add up to some $111 billion in new authorizations. Of that $1 billion will go to the Appalachia relief project, $7 billion for a Federal aid-to-education step-up, and a conservatively estimated $5 billion for the poverty war. A $20 billion measure, for various Fedreal subsidies, sits on President Johnson's desk, awaiting his signature.

The International Monetary Fund is scheduled to get $1 billion, and Social Security will cost the Treasury $33 billion more than it did before this year. This is one reason why the Administration is talking of increasing taxes. The Great Society may be great-but it's expensive, and to all of us. Discarding an old calendar is not an easy thing to do. It is too much like throwing away a part of your own life.

County Journal For And About Teenagers POM'T Feeu COUUP TRUST THE WEEK'S LETTER: "I am not too worried about my problem, but it has been on my mind. Last year I went with this boy. He said he liked me. I told him the same, He made promises to me and never kept them. He said he wanted to break up until early next year, but for me to tell my friends I still liked him if they if we were still going together.

I told him it was possible I might like someone else in the meantime. If we do get back together, I don't feel I could trust him. After we had gone together for some time, he told nje that he was known for telling lies. I now like one of his best friends, a very reliable How should I tell the first boy? Will be not have the idea I was eyeing bis friend while we were going together?" OUR REPLY: What the first boy thinks should be unimportant. He apparently is smart enough to know that he is mighty careless with the truth but he has yet to learn that you can't have everything in life your own way.

What he asked you to do, in ef- fect, was to not go steady with him but to continue to tell people that you were. This gave him a lot of rope. If you like the second boy, let him know it, let the first boy know it. Be truthful and don't involve yourself with someone who would put you on the shelf and expect to find you still there some months later. li you hart a you want to 91 on ta make, eddrtu yow to FOB AND ABOUT TEENAGERS.

20 YEARS AGO IN tHt FROM THE FILES OF THE UPPER DES MOINES February 5, 1946 o- What would probably be the wierdest, wildest if not the best basketball game of the season was slated between members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club in a "no holds barred" contest. Secret practices had been held by both organizations whose members had been dragged out to once again don uniforms for the contest. Beecher Lane was managing the JayCees team and Gene Hertz was handling the Lions. Pictured on the front page were charter members of the Union twp.

A. McArthur of Algona renewed his subscription to the Algona Upper Des Moines that in itself was not unusual but the fact that between Mr.

"You're not quite as cute as you think you are.

Which you ought to understand in the beginning. You make your harmless little jokes, put what you pretend to be a paternal arm around a girl's waist, and drop a suggestive remark or two. The girls know that if they gave you an opening you would change from the paternal to the predatory in about 60 seconds. But they don't worry obout you they aren't going to give you an opening. "You are a fine human being to the young ladies, finer perhaps than you know.

Your compulsions and temper are under control. Your years have taught you to be kind, considerate. The young men they go out with do not have these qualities. They feel a warmth for you because you do have them. "You are a profound economic asset to a young lady, if she has struck your fancy and if at age 64 you have reached a place of influence in the office.

You can maneuver a raise for her. More important, you can maneuver a better pecking order for her in the office jobs. Your superiors or your underlings may think you're a silly old fool who has been captivated by a bosom or a pair of legs. Still you can do a girl a favor. "You are more sophisticated than most men young ladies know.

You know how to travel on an airplane, how to register in a hotel, how to order a meal in a restaurant and not argue with the check, how to treat a woman. Young ladies admire sophisticated man in these impersonal areas. "You have too much vanity it shows up on you like a red plaid vest with a blue serge suit. A playful young lady will give you a kiss on the cheek, and you walk two feet taller for the next two weeks. She didn't mean it that way.

Really. A young lady will look at you maybe ten seconds longer than required, maybe into your eyes. You make note of it. And that night you reflect on her longing for your company as she sits at home alone while in fact she is out running her fingers through a younger man's hair. Her eyes had only been angling for the office favor you might throw her way.

If only your wife, or somebody, had been making eyes at you over these last 15 years you wouldn't fall into this trap.

A LuVerne high school class basketball team mowed down its class A opponent, Algona, in the semi-finals of the south- half county basketball tournament by a score of 25-23. The LuVerne team then went on to win the south half title, defeating Burt 50-20. While some of the Algona fans were surprised at the LuVerne victory, it was not unexpected. LuVerne had a fine record for the season, and while Algona team looked good in spots, it had shown a tendency to blow "hot and cold" too often.
