Parnell, consisted: Jane Seyler, Thelma Kohlhepp, Larue Rankin, T. S. Barbor, Luther D. Cobb, Dale Kohlhepp, Dr. Paul W.

Frazer, M.D., and Rev. Howard F. Kennedy. The first panel member to speak was Attorney Barbor who commented on news releases from the Democratic Party and the reform committee that the county commissioners are responsible for the conduct of all elected offices in the courthouse. Mr.

Barbor stated this is definitely not true. The commissioners are required to pay the salaries as fixed by the salary board and to purchase supplies requested by the various offices. Mr. Barbor added that it is not the commissioners responsibilities to install records or supervise bookkeeping procedures in the treasurer's office. Since the present treasurer's appointment, he has failed to make any changes in the bookkeeping procedures that are supposed to be "antiquated and inadequate." He has also retained the employees whom he would like to have you believe are responsible for the missing funds.

Mr. Barbor was followed by Mr. Cobb, who said that the present state government policy of "tax and spend" is leading to fiscal suicide. Mr. Cobb added that a good reason for voting straight Republican was that it is a vote for fiscal stability and sound economy.

The next speaker was Jane Seyler, who gave reasons why the housewife S'h 1 vote straight Republican. Mrs. Seyler said that the housewife is concerned with cost of living, budget prices, wages, taxes education and profits. Mrs. Rankin told why ma school -teachers were for the Republican Party.

She cited the past Republican record of supporting bills advocating better education on solid financial basis. Mrs. Thelma Kohlhepp, a PANTRV SCHEDULE FOR WEEK OF NOVEMBER 5, 1961 Monday- Tuesday Thursday- Saturday- Mrs. Helen Streams Co-Worker Mrs. Karl Sexton Mrs.

The Republicans have shown a concern for providing welfare to the needy without destroying the initiative of the individual to help himself. The Republicans are vitally concerned with combating this clanger. Rev.

Kennedy spoke of why he as a minister is actively supporting the Republican Party. He cited the growth of lawlessness, gambling and Sunday public liquor sales as a result of the present Democratic state administration. Dr. Paul Frazer, the Republican candidate for coroner, stated that the physicians of this county are among those who believe that the increasing federal direction and regulation of the present administration, threaten the freedom of the individual. The doctors believe that the proposed King Anderson legislation is wrong philosophically, resting as it does on the mistaken belief that the government must dominate the individual for his own good.

The final panel member was Dale I'ohlhepp who said that farmers do not want or need governmental meddling in their business. The farmers of this county are providing more and better for the American people through their individual initiative under the free enterprise system. Mr. G. S.

Parnell summed up panel's discussion by pointing out the need to elect Republicans in federal and state offices as well as the local offices. Mr. Parnell added that the wild spending policies of the present state administration is actually driving industry out of Pennsylvania. Mr. Parnell further stated that he did not have an confidence in Democratic leadership.

The Democrats were in control of the government during World Wars I and II and he also cited the present administrations tragic blunders in Cuba and Laos. The meeting was then adjourned and refreshments provided by: Mrs. Thomas Malcolm, Mrs. Frank Edwards, Mrs. Clinton Pease, Mrs.
