• f 4 4 y,* ,* J > „ * S y “ 1 ' Jt - -v 4— Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 8, 1966 From Where We Stand,.. Not For Sole It would seem from some of the ‘ campaign expenditures one hears of in Pennsylvania these days that the gover ! norship of the state is up for sale to the highest bidder. And the highest bidder has to be Milton Shapp, Phila • delphia industrialist. He doesn’t care • what it costs he’ll buy it. When it comes to money, Shapp thinks Texas-style. Remember the story about the Texan who met up with an enthusiastic young Kentuckian who bragged there was enough gold in Fort ■ Knox, Kentucky, to build a wall three fbot-high all around the state of Texas? The Texan just sat back and drawled, “Well, son, you go right ahead and build that wall. When you’re finished I’ll come out and look it over. If I like it, I’ll buy it.” Shapp has been looking over the Governor's cha)ir at Harrisburg for some time. He likes it, and if money will buy it, he’ll pay the price. We passed within one block of the State Capitol building one day this week, and being a bit concerned about - a future as a citizen of a “store boughten” state, we drove by to look over the property. We are happy to assure you, friends, that there is no “Fbr Sale” sign on the Capitol lawn. ,7 But Milton Shapp may be a hard man to convince. He wants the Gover ■ -job so badly that, reportedly, he ■and his wife sold 500,000 shares of Shapp’s Jerrold Corp. market value $9 million to finance the campaign. 2 pel ecu m Dancastei Conntv >i tlscwheit Establish! d Xocembci 4, 1911 'Published c\er\ Satin dav b\ OLanca-stei Fannins, Litit/, Pa Second Class Postage paid at DititZj Pa 17.143 Hess Bros.

However, we think Shaf er is honest, capable, and well-prepared to continue Scranton’s sound fiscal and social policies designed to keep the Commonwealth moving in its present positive direction. We think Milton Shapp is about as opposite from that ideal gs any one man could possibly be. But make no mistake about it Shapp coyild win. If he succeeds in* buying the gover norship, the price he pays will be pea nuts compared to the price Pennsylvania will pay during the next four years. A vote for Ray Shafer is a vote against Milton Shapp. A vole for Shafer can be your way of telling all would be public office buyers that the gover norship of Pennsylvania is not for sale. Not this year, nor any other. Where There's Fire There's Carelessness You’d think no one really had to be reminded of the potential danger which lurks, always ready to strike, in the flickering flame of FIRE. But the grim statistics tell other wise a fire a minute every hour of the day somewhere in America; and one person, somewhere, dies from fire every 80 minutes. So, once each year Fire Prevention Week is “celebrated”. This year it is October 9-15, and you’ll get reminders from every quarter. “What to do in case of fire”; “What to do before fire strikes”; “Have a plan for your family to escape in case of fire” and so on. But the - best insurance in the world against fire is YOU. Most fires,’ as auto accidents, are caused by carelessness on someone’s part. During Fire Prevention Week take a few moments to take stock of your “fireproofness”. Is your heating system in tip-top safe shop? How about that electrical wiring you’ve been meaning to fix for .so long? Are .your attic and 'cellar stairs free of debns that could feed a fire, and- possibly trap you or some member of your.-family? When you trust your children to a~baby sitter’s care do you instruct her what to do in case of fire? Do you know how to reach your local fire department without delay? There are any number of things you can do to improve your chances of survival when fire strikes better yet, to keep the foul breath of fire from your threshold.
