O. P,, is leading in new party registrations. Probably that is the best criterion of all in which way the wind is blowing. And recent elections also indicate that there surely must be a good many Republicans who vote Democratic when they go to the polls. JOHN U.

Isn't it | funny that even among a lot of | al communities, will not hesitate for a moment in taking a slam at the | miners (behind their backs, of course) simply because a prolong- | ed coal strike has begun pinching | their own pocketbook or their own conveniences ? | * | THE ENTIRE NORTHERN PART of Cambria County is mostly de- | pendent upon the mining industry. | There wouldn't be many business | places, for instance, in any of the | - i | Northern Cambria towns were it | not for the mining industry, It | comes with bad faith, therefore, | for any of us to knock the miners | in their effort to secure better con- | ditions for themselves.

Anyone who has any knowledge of legislative bodies knows that no one member, par- ticularly a new member, can get far on his own accord—but he can help support beneficial legislation, and he can vote on any issue that comes before his body in the best interests of the most of his con- stituents.
