he voted for were winners. There
may have been a few mean things
happened at spots on Tuesday, but
like other elections, they soon will
be forgotten. Next year there will
be new issues, new candidates, and
some of the very fellows who bat-
tled Tuesday may be found united
in some way at next year's elec-

NEXT YEAR THERE WILL BE
an important election. Topping
the list will be a new Governor for
Pennsylvania, and there will also
be chosen a United States Senator.
Joe Guffey's term expires at the
end of next year. Uprited States
Senators are elected for six-year
terms. A State Secretary of Inter-
nal Affairs also will be chosen.
And Harve Tibbott’s term as Con.
gressman in the 26th District ex-
pires next year. There will be three
Representatves in the General As-
sembly frecm the county district,
and two from the City of Johns-
town, to be chosen. Congressmen
and Assemblymen have but two-
year terms. State Senators are
chosen for four-year terms. Sena-
ter Haluska's term will have two
more years to run.

NEXT YEAR THERE WILL BE
no municipal offices to be filled,
but there will be committeemen
from both parties chosen at the
Primary Election which will be
held in the Spring. These in turn |
will later elect a county chairman.
County chairmen in both major |
parties in Cambria County serve
for two years.

HUNTERS APPEARED MORE

PELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE
are even now a good many ex- |
servicemen right here in our own
community who have been home
fur some weeks and unable to find
employment. The problem is going
to get bigger, too. The smaller
| communities have something con-
fronting them to take up the slack
that is ahead. An ex-soldier told us
on the street the other day thas
he came home to hunt a new joh

AS A BIT OF APPRECIATION
to the Patton Garden Study Club
may we voice the thanks of the

HAS IT EVER STRUCK YOU
that the newspapers and the in-
dividuals who are doing all the
talk about “getting tough with
Russia” and of “watching Russia”
aren't doing a service either to
themselves or to anyone else. Ap-
parently Russia and the United
States are at the moment the only
two remaining nations that have
sufficient punch to wage war. And
there surely is no reason whatso-
ever why either the United States
or Russia should want to fight one
another. Neither would have any-
thing at all to gain. It is far better
[that we try to understand Russia
| and treat her as a friendly nation,
| even though our way of life is far
| different than that of the Soviets.

JUST NOW AN IMPORTANT
matter that hits right into the
homes is the matter of peacetime
conscription, which will be thresh-

BUT SCARCITY OF GAME
doesn’t take the thrill out of the
sportsman'’s heart. In fact, if game
is scarce the thrill is all the more
when a bag'is made. Like the fish-

terrific build-up in advance, and
gets more enjoyment out of the

THERE'S LOTS OF VITAL
news going on over the earth,
but people have lost the extreme
interest they held in news broad-
casts during the period of hostili-
ties. If one reads just the headlines
alone in the morning newspapers,
it can easily be ascertained that
the world is far from being at a
complete peace, and that the prob-
lems of the United Nations and the
United States, in particular, are
manifold. The most vital period of

that. The United States of Am- |

at the beginning of three wars—
1898, 1917 and 1941. If another
blow comes, and it surely will

wishful thinking, we'll not have an
opportunity to prepare. Any enemy

WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET
into the method to be employed
in the forthcoming military train-
ing program. That's up to Con-
cress. However, since the recent
Navy Day speech of President Tru-
man there has been a lot more
favorable comment on the thought
that maybe it would be all right
for the chaps out of high school to
train a bit. Surely it can do them
no harm physically—and maybe it
will keep them from ever having to
go to war. And if peacetime con-
scription is the rule, it shouldn't
be too much “close order” drill—
