ADDPFSS that "television is for idiots." If he had excepted athletic events, such as football, baseball', wrestling, and boxing we might go along with him in that opinion. We groan nearly as loudly at television commercials of every sort as at radio singing commercials. tt:;

Understand, we are of the firm opinion that television . is like sex and motor cars; it is here to stay. No doubt about that. And it has furnished profitable employment for thousands of people in the entertainment world who were having guite a heck of a time making a llving. But we insist that up to the present time most of the stuff that appears on the television screens, and particulady the commercials, are nix. They belong up on the shelf with the coldPie'

The first thing Eiscnhower ought to do b gct this one tlring settled; that a man is either FOR this natiolr, or he is AGAINST it; and for those who are not for it, let a hotfoot be arranged that will rid us once and for good of undesirable persons. Let it be known that Amcrica is for Americans and for ttose who love America; and for no one else. And lbt's do it now.*

, We are dropping this lighter--even though entirely serious-vein for a closing paragraph or two. There is a phase of our national situation today that fails utterly to penetrate our thick skulls. That is this business of asking a witness whether or not he is a Communist, and having him take refuge in his constitutional protection by saying he will not ansrter for fear of incriminating himself. How long is it going to take us to determine and declare and make sure by process of law that any person in this country who is not only willing but anxious to rise at any time, and in any place in the sight of God or man, and declart and swear that he is a loyal American and opposed to every damnable ism that. has reared its ugly head in this nation, -

IS IN FACT UN.AMERICAN, AND HAS NO RIGHT

TO LM HERE? How much longer can men enjoy the protection and privileges of the American fag, and seek refuge in the claim of sanctuaryl

J. M. \9h:te's Christmas Thought

- A Christmas greeting of such merit as to justify reproduction and thoughtful reading, is the one written by Mr. , J. M. White, president of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, and printed in the December numbei of "The Log of LongBell." Addressed to the personnel of the entire organization, the text is as follows:

"In the avenue of our affections there are certain loyal natures that continue faittrfirl through all time. This

, is strongly reflected in the spirit of good will, and the happiness of it, during the Christmas holiday season. The uppermost thought of all must be the Power that rules over us: to give us understanding to accept that which cannot be changed; to give us the power and courage to change that which should be changed; and above all, to give us the wisdom to know which is which. Faith in thought and ' resultant conduct, is one of the outstanding forces by which .. rightful nations and men live, the total absence of which means collapse. We must always carry the great responsibility to maintain through the avenues of life that which brings to all a free mind, heart and soul. There are forces in the world which seek to destroy such way of life, but through eternal vigilance those forces shall not pass through ' our gate. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Most Happy New Year, J. M. White, President."

Want a prediction-a political predictiorefor 1953? Hcre goes. Before the year ends Senator Joe McCarthy, of llfisconsin, will be tte most completely justified man in thc whole country. Watch and see. The other day when the news cade over the air and through the press that two of the men highest on'the Senator's list of reds, pinks, or dangerous characters had been furally uncovercd, we knew how McCarthy must have laughed. They were two of the men he has constantly and bitterly attacked as disloyal, and whom all the no.goods in the country had defendcd while unmercifully slandering McCarthy for his effort* This will be just the start. Soon we will see othcrs by thc dozen who have been uncovered by McCartby and dcfendcd by every pink blabbermouth unhung, coming to the bar of justicc. Soon the mealy-mouths will quit saying that they , approve of McCarthy but not of his mcthodq wilf be singing a different song. The Senator was in fact the strongest man on the whole Eisenhower team during the rcccnt Prcsidential campaign, and he should be recognized as such. He killed skunks with clubs rather than perfume squirters, and the skunk-lovers did their best to dcstroy hinr. 11 is only right and iust that he should get tte recognition and thc acclarnation he deserves for his fight against subvcnivcs. You'll see a lot of the cold-footcd boys singtng hil praiscs soon. The justification of the brave Irishman from Wisconsin has just started.
