Dramatic new styling marks the 1967 Ford which has received
a major sheet metal change for the third time in three years.
Pictured here are the X/L Convertible (above) and the X/L 2-
door Hardtop, both of which offer Ford’s Select Shift Cruise-O-
Matic transmission as standard equipment. Featured only on the
Fairlane GTA in 1966, Select Shift permits the driver to shift
manually or automatically. Ford’s new styling features sculp
tured side panels and a gull-wing design grille that is die-cast in
the X/L, LTD and Country Squire series. Engineering improve
ments give the 1967 Ford an even quieter and smoother ride. All
Ford models will be on display at Ford dealer showrooms Friday.

PERILS OF THE POLITICAL SEASON
EACH DAY IT BECOMES
more apparent that decisions on
fintirmal affairs are being heavi
ly influenced by their antici
pated political impact. Public
opinion must and should be a
factor in the decision making
process of government, for it
Is an important element in the
functioning of a self-governing
society. This is no justification,
however, for manipulation, de
ception, withholding of infor
mation from the public or for
last-minute grandstand plays
with governmental action tail-
orded expressly for impact in
the political season.
THE GNAWING PANGS of
Inflation symptomize a crucial
illness of the nation’s economy
which can be arrested and ul
timately cured only be drastic
and immediate surgery on the
bloated level of domestic spend
ing by the national government.
Instead, fear of the fever of
the political season has limited
treatment to pious lectures in
the best bedside manner about
economizing In governmental
operations. It is an open secret
that after the passing of the
political season, the nation will
quickly get radical treatment
dictated by a wrong diagnosis
—a tax increase. Meanwhile,
th« flames of Inflation will burn
ever brighter on the fuel of
massive spending programs such
as the $1.75 billion expected
to be maladministered this year
In the name of the “war on
poverty.”
ONE OF THE MOST CRU
CIAL of the major internation
al problems concerns the future
course of what is now the
shambles of the North Atlantic
Treaty Alliance. American
troops are being withdrawn
from France at the dictates of
DeGaulle. The United States is
struggling with a sapping bal
ance of payments deficit which
is being worsened by the costs
of maintaining large numbers
Of U.S. troops in Europe. The
United States is demanding that
Germany pay a larger share
Of these costs, but it is at the
same time unwilling to give
Germany a meaningful voice in
NATO nuclear defense policies
for fear of offending Russia.
The extreme urgency of this
problem is overridden, however,
by the impact of the political
season, both in the United
States and in Germany, and it
is obvious that no action, no
decision, no remedy will be |
forthcoming until after elec-1
tions. (
NOT EVEN THE WAR in j
Viet Nam is immune from the!
impact of the political season.
The American public is being
shielded from the harsh reali
ties of the status of the war.
Despite the buildup of United
States forces In the combat
zone to more than 310,000, the
Red buildup in South Viet Nam
continues to accelerate. Com
munist troops from the North
are now pouring South at a
rate in excess of 6,000 per
month. Because It is the poli
tical season, the American pub
lic Is being sheltered from the
fact that current planning calls
for doubling the American
forces in Viet Nam—beginning
after the election.
MORE OMINOUS than any
of these are the prospects for
political season peace feelers
by our government. Hopes that
the political season could pass
without a grandstanding action
of juggling peace hopes were
dimmed substantially by Am
bassador Goldberg’s speech at
the opening of the U.N. Gen
eral Assembly in which he ad
vanced the most conciliatory
plan yet offered by the United
States for terminating the war
In Southeast Asia. This speech
was followed by the announce
ment of the Manila Conference
on Viet Nam beginning on Oc
tober 18 to be attended by the
President personally. All the
signs point to the probability
of a political season peace of
fensive.
FT IS BAD that such actions
may falsely raise the hopes of
Americans for peace only to
have them dashed down from
greater heights after the poli
tical season ends. Of for worse
consequence, however, is the
confidence which may be in
spired in the Communists there
by, to think that the United
States is tiring of the war and
will eventually throw in the
towel. Any action which en-
co urges the Communists to
think that success will eventu
ally reward their so-called
“wars of national liberation”
lessens the chance for an event
ual end to such conflicts. Al
ready, elaborate preparations
for new “wars of national lib
eration” are being made In such
places as the bristling Red fort
ress of Cuba.
IF SELF-GOVERNMENT is
to work effectively in the
United States, it becomes in
creasingly apparent that Amer
icans must learn to beware
the perils of the political sea
son.
Clean-Up day

fication Committee at a meet
ing held in the Council Cham

tage of Splendor.” Each of
these films shown to schools
and organizations thruout the
county drew an audience of
around 4,000 people.
Richard (Rusty) Brown
Personnel Director of Owens-
Illinois, who is serving as the

en by Mrs. A. G. D. Wiles, will
j meet at her home, on Tuesday
{evening at 8:00 p.m. Oral prac
tice will be the chosen method
; for the term’s work. A new

German pronunciation. For

Dr. Buckley stresses compre
hension as the important goal
of all reading, but for those
who are unable to keep up with

demands the attention today,
she suggests the most effective
methods of reading for differ
ent types of material. Tech
niques for rapid skimming, in
tensive reading, and vocabul
ary building will be stressed.
The ultimate aim for each in

develop flexibility in adjusting
his reading to suit his purpose.

7:30 p.m. Thursday. This

meet the class in Business
Courses at 7:30 p.m. on the
3rd floor of the New Classroom
building, on Thursday evening.
