Law, government, and history have COUNTY CHAIRMAN been a source ot intense interest.

I was most interested, only3 three months ago, in talking with Nixon to hear that ho read one of the most difficult, learned but important ly win; his preparation for his many assignments from President Eisenhower, and his preparations for the campaign in which he is now a candidate. In 1952 in the sensational "fund" incident, the ordeal was almost unbearable for at least five days when he was getting messages from leaders of his party in the East suggesting that he get off the ticket. His decision was to prepare with every fact and place the issue before the country. There was a long ordeal in 1956, when he could not know from week to week whether he would be renominated and many, including Harold Stassen, were seeking to sidetrack him. His position was to continue his assignments with all energy and let the result depend upon the final decision of the President.

In a campaign he believes in making every effort to get the facts and to present them. He is a tough adversary in debate, mat nas appeared in reeetit years, Professor Hayek's "Constitution of This wasn't a bluff, because Nixon cited chapter and verse" to describe his agreement in politi-' cal philosophy with that jf the author.

Robert Moyer, of the Reading AAA club, outlined tours and cruises available for the coming summer plus the availability of both domestic and foreign tours and cruises which can be arranged through AAA facilities. The directors also agreed to protest what they termed "Hazardous driving conditions" on Route 443 between New Ringgold and South Tamaqua. In this area the road shoulders are in bad condition with the possibility of a vehicle overturning in the event a driver has to pull to the side quickly in an emergency.

The club also voted to put its "operation weather" into effect on Nov. 15. Under this program weather and road conditions not only in Schuylkill County but throughout the Eastern seaboard are broadcast twice daily over Pottsville Radio Station WPPA. Information on roads and weather will also be available to the general public by telephoning the Pottsville AAA office at Market 2-4991. The weather program will continue until April 1.

Discussions were also held on the re-examination program for Pennsylvania drivers with full information available to members through the Pottsville office. A thorough review of the club's "emergency road service" program was also given. Under this tained the following at a delicious chicken and waffle dinner at their West Market Street home on Sunday in honor of the ninth birthday anniversary of their son, Robert: Mrs. Beulah Heiser and son, Robert, Pine Grove; Mrs. May Brown, Mount Aetna Mr.

HZELm Can there be any doubt that summer is past, fall is fast disappearing and winter is just around the corner? On Monday, a regular mid-winter type blizzard hit the area, but because the temperature was above freezing, the snow melted as fast as it hit the ground with the exception of grass plots where the snow mained for a short time.

On Wednesday early morning risers had to use ice scrapers to remove the frost from cars as the temperature dropped to the 27 mark. The temperature recording comes to you through the courtesy of War- ren Say lor, Losch Boiler Sales and Service. The last reminder of summer disappears Sun day morning when Daylight Saing Time, like window screens, goes back into storage until next spring. Three Halloween parades are scheduled for the area Thursday night at Pottsville, Saturday at Pine Grove, and Monday night at Orwigsburg. Among the judges for the Pottsville parade will be Jack Strauch and Roy Schumacher, while Ken Heiser ant Bob Dinger will assist in selecting prize winners at Pine Grove.

Look for Shuey to judge a fire truck as the funniest costumed entry. Two weeks ago when representatives from Coca-Cola presented the program at Lions Club, Shuey after the meeting complimented them not only for their interesting film but also for their "modern new building which is an asset to the community." The building referred to was built by Pepsi-Cola. There may be an excuse for that mistake. Shuey was still boiling mad about boys destroying a beautiful young red maple tree that had been recently planted behind the Boy Scout monument on Parkway. The tree cost S15 and Shuey himself had been nursing it along.

Although the name ing" agencies. But Nixon labors prodigiously on his own speech vember 8th employ a new President for that immense task is, "How well and how hard has he worked at his previous jobs?" How thoroughly does he prepare for his assignments? In reply, it should be noted first the serious, stoical nature of his Quaker upbringing. His mother, bearing burdens seldom imposed upon any woman, was sustained by her fervent Quaker faith.

Whatever came and the vicissitudes were many she spent no time in self-pity, but did the day's work with an almost fierce will. Nixon inherited this trait. The determination to meet each obligation without sparing any effort to be ready has shown through his entire private and public life. This stoicism imparts an air of reserve in his contacts with people which has often been interpreted as either shyness or austere coldness. Neither of these explanations is accurate, for he is not shy and he finds his trreatest satisfactions in his relations with others.

But he knows, as does any intelligent being, that there is a destiny (that determines results which may frustrate any ambition. 4 Faith in Individual Mazo's appraisal of this is that there is an element of fatalism in Nixon which precludes bland confidence in what may come. It is not that sort of fatalism which consigns all to an unforeseen destiny and which makes human effort seem unnecessary. Rather, it is at one with any faith in Providence which diminishes the role that an individual may play. Never would Nixon claim even to himself that he and he alone is master of his fate.

The Quaker in Nixon is best expressed by that word It is written in the long career of indefatigable work which has characterized Herbert Hoover. (Who is meaningfully omitted by Senator Kennedy in his list of Republicans with whom he disagrees.) Every step in Nixon's remarkable rise to his present prominence has been characterized by intense preparation for the new. responsibility. This goes hack lo his school days, his competition in college in debates, his winning of a law-school scholarship. His law practice.

Hatter, president of the Schuylkill County Society for Crippled Children announced that Walter F. "Wally" Berger, 7 South 21st St. Pottsville, will serve as county campaign chairman for the 1960 fund Raising campaign. Mr.

Berger who is captain of the Pottsville Police Department, has been very active in community and county activities. Although this is the first year that Mr. Berger has served as chairman for the Schuylkill County Society for Crippled Children's fund raising campaign, he has been very active in helping the crippled children of Schuylkill County and is presently the director and vice-president of the United Cerebral Palsy. The Schuylkill County Society for Crippled Children is an independent local organization it is not affiliated with any state or national society. The society carries on an active program with diagnostic services that are medial treatment for the crippled children in the county.

Fifteen clinics are held yearly in four county hospitals. In addition to the orthopedic program, the society provides a speech consultive program. es.

But be threw the script away and worked far into the night be- -fore he left, writing his own speech in longhand.

He knows how to employ helpers in getting facts, but uses them in his own way. In the current cam- paign his speeches are almost all completely extemporaneous. His long speech of acceptance was wholly his own. No lislencr need feel that this or that statement has been written by some collaborator. It is all genuine Nixon.

Such a habit of work i.s indispensable equipment for the Presidency, in which final decisions must be his and his alone. As Woodrow Wilson said while President. "Everything that comes to the President's desk is a problem.5' The preliminary arguments may have been-tin? conciiUi of subordinates. The facts may be gathered in voluminous number bureaus and departments, and often they are confusing and contradictory. But the final decision must be determined by one mind.

And that mind should be well stocked by preliminary study, training experience. either face to face or on the stump. It is interesting that he has real respect for Mr. Truman despite the former President's public comments about him. After all, a political campaign is a serious matter in which each contestant is seeking to end or greatly injure the other's public career.

In meeting a new assignment, such as his tours abroad, he is always very careful in briefing himself, llazo describes this: "From the start Nixon has seen every overseas tour as a 'graduate with subjects encompassing a gamut of government and human relationships. Before leaving Washington he studies the history, problems, leaders and peoples of the countries he will visit as if cramming for final examinations. En route to each capital he reviews material brought along in a traveling library and gets a briefing from an embassy Carletta Manbeck became the bride of William Hess on Oct. 13th. Mrs.

Wasserman, manager of the Pottsville Social Security District Office.

Several hundred persons in Schuylkill County, including many wives, widows, and dependent husbands and widowers already at retirement age, will become entitled to payments upon filing an application for benefits. Under the new rule, persons reaching retirement age (65 for men, 62 for women) this year need only about three years of work under social security instead of the four and one-half to five years required by the old law. If you reach retirement age anv time next year, you will need to have worked under social security for only three and one-quarter years instead of the five to five and one quarter years required before the change in the law. There is, however, a minimum requirement of a year and a half of work under social security without which no benefits can become payable. with "free" drawing and planning jobs of Cressona and Schuylkill Haven community projects.
